The Subject of Fencing,

O1e Of the most expensive branches OF
farming is fencing in enclosures. Any
invention that will cheaper this branch
OF farming and at the same time give a
durable fence. is a blessing to the farmer
About three months ago Messrs. Fedde-
man u Earle, an extensive hardware
and agricultural implement firm of Cen
treviile were invited West to examine the
Page Woven Wire Fence, They were
struck with its many advantages over
other farm fences, and made arrange
ments to handle it in the States of Mary
land and Delaware. Although out of
the fencing season, the firm has already
sold a carload. A number of our county
farmers have given their orders for next
spring, and some have already put up
the fence. Tho sales have not bssn con-
fined to this section, howeve Many
Western Shore farmers have put up the
fence and many more have sent in orders.
The superintendent of Druid Hill Park
Baltimore, enclosed the Deer Park with
it. The claim made for this fence is
contraction aud Expansion to suit the
changes in temperature, durability,
cheapness and the few posts used
about three to every one hundred feet
of fence. In securing tho control OF the
sale of this fence over such extended

sation ana stated that Hindman when
offering the wheat said that it would be
sold by the lump and that every man
could think for himself and know what
what he was getting. He couldn't re-
member Hindman's speaking OF any
other article sold.
William Trimble took the stand, his
! testimony being Only to his having heard
Hindman olfe: tho wheat by the lump.
Other minor testimony to the same
effect was given By, George Irwin,
Charles ShuttIeworth. John Crothers,
and Adam Taylor, colored.
Mr.. Mcdowell the defendant again
took the stand, and stated that in bid
ding he was entirely guided by the
advertisement that stated zone half
interest in twenty acres of growing
wheat and knew nothing to the con-
trary, and spoke of its being offered as
such. This concluded the testimony.
Daniel Bratton for the plaintiff, summed
up the evidences and was followed by the
counsel for the defendant, Mr..
CTothers, who argued that MIR. Mcdowell
should have been notified of the dispute
in acreage and quoted a similar ruling Of
the Court of Appeals. Mr.. Constable
attorney for Clifford made the closing
arguement.
Justice Partridge reserved bis decision
in the case until, Monday when he ruled
in favor of the Plaintiff.

Somebody older than the writer, has
formulated the expression vanity OF
Vanities." presume he gave the note
in Latin. But no matter where or how
he gave it, the idea involves an expression
that merits a paraphrase. Vanity OF
Vanities, all is Vanity" saith the
preacher. Humbuggery OF Humbugs,
how much is Humbug.-I ask, as read
from day to day, and week to week the
tomfoolery OF local contributors to the
Peoples side of the weekly papers, now
become SO frequent, that there is almost
one day on an average. Why, Mr..
Editor, it almost makes fellow wonder
if the press itself isn't humbug. The
press-the fifth estate? Why, where in
the tangible and taxable world is the
fourth that can come within an atmoS-
pheric mile of it? The Press and the
Pen! The latter mightier than the
Sword! Sightier than the mer' world
did some pestiferous punster say? In
the face OF some things now passing for
wit and wisdom, Mr. Editor, would it not
be we'll to revise the old boast and ask
What is punier than the Pen, particu
larry when the poor Press is hanging on
to it. In point of fact, it sometimes
occurs to me, that the mere fact of
toying with paper makes paper men,"
No matter whether they print on it, chop
wood for it, pulp-itate it,or "sIze" it up,
the result seems about the same. Let a
fellow rush into print, and it will not be
long before be is recognized as a rusher.
Why, l heard Carl Hoffman, the Dutch
expert, whom wise George Childs i'm
ported to tell the people of America
more than they ever dreamed of about
the possibilities of wheat straw as paper
basis,-1 heard said Carl, before lie
had gone back to Germany, and had
printed that wonderful book on paper
making, but years after he had caught a
chess genius mapping, ana beaten him at
his own gamut;-I heard the said Carl,
the wise, ethe benefcient, the paper
maker, the protege of DR.. Kane's ex
ploiter, too wise to err, too good to be
unkind,-gravely, reverently and practi
cally suggest that What Elkt0n needs is
a city Passenger Railuay." 1 thought
that Car! was dead, married or marred,
till L read in the Cecil County Neaos of
Thursday. that 4E,culaplan pyrotechnic
about Park for Elkton. Pray, tell me,
MIR. Wing, has Carl incog come back to
Elkton, or is there one "native and to
the manner born''-who looks like him,
and talks like him, and writes like him,
as is "him," in all bat that he substl
tutes baseball as fad for chess?

Fell in the Cellar.

On last Tuesday evening Mrs. D. N.
Hanna, residing near Mechanics Valley
in this county, missed her footing and
fell to the bottom OF the cellar distance
of six or seven feet upon the sharp stone
steps below, cutting deep cash behind
her right ear which bled proiusely and
otherwise bruising and maiming her
limbs and body. From the outside the
cellar is entered from broad pair of
stone steps housed in aud from the inside
by movable wooden steps about
two feet wide, that intersect the stone
steps about half way down thence
down to the bottom of the cellar. These
wooden steps had been removed to put
some barrels in the cellar and were not
replaced, hence the accident. Dir. House
keeper was hastily summoned who
dressed her wounds and made her as
comfortable as circumstances would
permit.

Suffrage and Suffrage.

DEAR WING:
1t does really seem to a man up tree
who has to play coon because he has no
way of getting down, that there is a
propensity to concede altogether too
much to the cGons and "sich," who are
here to day and gone to morrow;-who
manage to be about at election times and
gone for tire rest Of the year. Some
demagogy. Others might call it
communism. Still others might bo in
clined to dub it sheer robbery in the
laws name. The Taxpayer up a tree
who has no remedy except to come
down at Captain Candidates bshest and
pay the tax with the only privilege of
grumbling will be apt to see in it a good
deal of the worst form of politics.
notice in a mid weekly paper that
somebody gets righteously mad at the
idea that any fellow who can swear he
has been in Elkton two years, whether
as hummer, a beggar, tramp, a
sycophant, or whatever else he may be
| dubbed, has not perfect and inalienable
right to vote as long, as loud, and as often
as the taxpayer who finds himself annu-
| ally mulcted, for the privilege of
developing the town through his posses
sions and through the tax gatherer.
Now Mr.. Editor this clap trap is very
| cheap; but is 1t sensible? The right to
vote at town election, the only purpose
| OF which is to determine what may or
| may not be done, what is proper or
| improper TO do with the money the tax
| payers have to pay, is a widely different
thing from the abstract right of suffrage,
and no one knows it better than the
demagogues who keep harping on key
so sinister for purposes SO monstrous.
Why should Smith, Brown, Jones or
Robinson, who never paid a cent of town
tax in his life, whether because he has
| been too indolent TO reap the taxable
| thing or because he is such bird of
| passage that he is never here except at
election times, have an equal voice with
the man who pays the tax and benefits
the town by observance of his duties as
citizen?
| I do not know what your views may
be on this subject Mr.. Editor, but my
own are clearly clear. TAXPAYER.

To THE WING:
Conservatism and Rsdioalism are terms
which In years recently passed, marked
contrast not kindred now. Then, mon
were mustered on one side or the other in
an issue that absorbed all others. The
abuse of such condition was natural aud
men got to think thing was right if it was
radical, and wrong if it was conservative
or vice.vers without once stopping to
exercise the function of thought. Times
have fortunately changed, and men and
manners and morals have changed with
them; but the right and wrong of radical
or conservative me isures have also taken
on healthier hua, and man are now
conservative or radical, not according to
some all pervading poll teal issue but be
cause of peculiar conditions and surround
irgs. To-day conservatism may be health
full Tomorrow conservatism may be q
back number. To day the environment
may demand radical remedies. Tomorrow
what would have been wise yesterday will
be transparency foolish. So of situations:
it is never safe to apply general rules to
shifting conditions. Economy to day may
be extravaganza tomorrow and vice vsrsf Il.
What is true of men in business is true OF
corporations. When the time is mest and
the purse is fit, it is false economy to play
the parsim onlous. When times are against
generous expenditure, waste must produce

stock found here and the people that do the
