The Cecil Wings Anniversary
Number which appeared last week
concentrating the papers 5lst
anniversary, is quite an enterprising
stroke and reminds one of the west.
ern get up and hustle round. All
the principal manufacturing estab-
lishments in the county are hand
somely pictured with a historical
sketch giving an account of their
trials and triumphs. Several of the
handsomest private dwellings in Port
Deposit are also presented. Among
these is the palatial residence of Mr..
Tome in connection with Cecil
National Bank. The latter institu-
ton is undoubtedly one of the most
profitable if not the mQst profitable
in the county. A handsome rep
resentation of the Jacob Tome In.
stitute is given which is at present
in the air and not in Port Deposit.
This anniversary number of the
Wing is very creditable stroke of
newspaper enterprise on Mr..
Torberts part, enta:ling good deal
of expense and trouble. and when
the plentiful lack of enthusiasm on
progressive lines which marks the
plodding disposition Of the native
Cecil countian is considered the
achievement takes no larger proper
tons. This seeming reflection on
the slow and easy habits of the
native Cecil countian is only relative
to the outside world. Tested by the
true Maryland STANDARD of push and
pull the Cecil denizen is quite an
active, wide awake person if we con.
slider him enmass.
The anniversary number is printed
on fine white paper, containing eight
pages or double the ordinary size of
the paper. The rapid improvement
IN pictorial printing is most con-
spicuous in the fine artistic finish dis.
played in portraying the numerous
manufacturing establishments and
their surrounding landscapes. Al.
though attended with considerable
outlay such artistic work could not
have been executed ten years ago
for less than, probably, ten times the
present cost.
the eighth newspaper for Cecil
county made it appearance last

of The Sentinel, published every
Friday at Elkton by the Sentinel
Printing and Publishing Company
of Cecil County. The paper places

can be deteced by ordinary eyes and

there is something rotten in Denmark
otherwise in the democracy of Cecil
and Maryland and if we pursue the
search with search light to the last
congress the decay seems to reach
from center to circumference of the
nation. AS all papers, party ones

well, but seldom live up to their
promises we will have to wait and
see what time develops. The Senti.
