The meeting of Cecil Farmers Club
held at w. w. Moore's on Wednesday
was well attended by members, though
several of the prominent ones were
kept away by business engagements.
The discussions were animated and in
a pleasant vein with enough philippics
and guying among the members to give
spice to the occasion. The hosts essay
was a paper of more than ordinary
merit, presenting the farmers business
and life, some of the members thought,
in rose colored hue, while avoiding all
the darker shades that are liable to fit
over his landscape. Farming as con-
Quoted and enjoyed by the writer was
wildly and warmly portrayed as Haw-
thorn paints the picture in his Blithes-
dale Romance.
The discussions ofthe members turn
ed largely on economic questions,
money, corporations, etc.; their in
fiuence on society, their relations to
government, ETC., which is an encourag.
ing sign. If farmers will raise their
faces from contemplating the soil long
enough to makeithose subjects part of
their study the way ''to make farming
pay better and keep the boys on the
farm" will be discovered. When the
farmer makes his influence felt in
public affairs as strongly as the corpora
ton and exploiting classes now do his
business will grow more profitable and
more respected also. A lighter and
better education on other lines than
that of soil tillage is the farmers i'm
mediate want. We are pleased to find
that the Club has turned its face in
this direction and that the advance
within the short space of even single
year is quite perceptible to the occasion
al visitor. Col. Noyes appears to be
the disturbing element of the placid
life of the association, by keeping the
danger signal always in view. Agitate
and educate in the open sesame to a
better future for the farmer.
George Wood and James Fenner
the men suspected OF the Richards
murder, and who are under arrest in
Philadelphia, charged with robbery
committed in that state, have made
a confession which establishes the
innocence of man convicted of a
burglary committed by them, and
who has served two years of FIVE
years sentence. A drug store in
Trenton, N. j. was burglarized and
on the testimony of Wood and
Fenner, George Drew was convicted
and sentenced to an Imprisonment
of FIVE years. Their confession states,
that they committed the burglary and
that they testified against Drew in
order to have revenge upon him for
some trouble that existed between
them. A requisition has been for
warded to Governor Pattison from
this state, for the deliveranoe of
Fenner who will be brought to Elk
ton as soon as the order is issued by
the Governor of Pennsylvania.
Dickens In some of his writings
raises this question and in his
peculiar graphic manner inquiries why
the public allows such men to run at
large. knowing them to be of this
class. They are known to live by
theft, burglary, ETC., and yet let loose
and watched to be caught committing
these crimes to furnish an excuse for
shutting them up for time, when
they are let loose again to repeat the
offense against society.
