o. L. A. NJ, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS 1t is one of the main objects of
the Jr. O. L. A. NJ, to maintain the public
school system of the United States of America
and to prevent sectarian inference herewith
and to uphold the reading of the Holy Bible
therein; and
WHEREAS, We have read with interest an
article in the Cecil Democrat of December
the sth advocating the erection in Elkton of
"Free High School, which will give poor
people an opportunity to have their children
educated to that degree that they may enter
colleges, assume professions, embark in busi
ness: in short, to be thoroughly equipped to
take an advanced position when they start in
life:'' and
WHEREAS, Knowing the great and urgent
necessity for such an institution in the county
seat OF our county. Therefore, be it
Resolved. That we unanimously endorse
the movement for increased advantages in
the present public school system in Cecil, and
pledge to the promoters of such IA scheme
the unanimous support of the seven hundred
Juniors of this county.
Resolved, That we as taxpayers most
respectfully recommend to the honorable
Board of County Commissioners an appro-
priation necessary for the erection and main
tenance of this proposed school, and call
their attention to the fact that there are at
present many children in Elkton and else
where throughout the county, who are en-
tirely shut out of our public schools from the
fact that they have passed the limit of educa-
ton taught therein. and whose parents are
not able to pay their tuition at the Elkton
Academy, or other similar schools.
Resolved, That We request our representa-
tives in the next Maryland Assembly to use
all honorable means in their power to pass an
act repeating what is known as the book fee
law" thereby making our schools free in
reality, as well as in name.
Resolved, That we call upon all Councils of
the Junior and Senior Order of Mechanics in
this county to pass resolutions setting forth
their views on this most important subject of
public education.
BY order of the Council.

phia, who is an accomplished elocutionist.
The . Grecian Statnary' pictures were
indeed scenes of grace and beauty, and the
posing Of the young ladies called for the
admiration of the audience. The military

ton. The Bivouac" scene included a ballad
by Mr.. }. Newman Davis. the soldier boys.
grouped around thc camp fire, joining in the
chorus.
bohemian Life was charming pastoral
tableau, the merry gypsy camp forming Il
viyacious scene, Miss b .ssie Scott in her pie
queen. The duet, "Ihc Gipsy Countess" by
Miss Scott and Mr.. Davis, won much ap-
plau-e.
The progrum was interspcrsed with music
hy the Elkton BanjO Club, whose selections
were happily rendered.
The entertainment, which is the result of
the efforts Of Mrs. John McElmoyle and Miss
Laura Jamar, was indeed an achievement

Only Il few days more are required for the
completion OF that portion of the Elkton and
Middletown railroad through Eikton from
the tracks of the p. W. Il b. railroad to the
river at the Scott Fertilizer Works. The
rails have already been laid as far as Main
street and the sidInl to the Pulp Works and
Scott Fertilizer Works are now being con-
structcd.
1t is understood that us soon as this work
is completed the civil engineer corps will be
transferred to bridge work now in progress
over the Delaware river at Philadelphia. and
although no authoritative information is
given, it is generally believed that nothing
will be done further toward the building OF
the road from the river at Elkton to Middle
town until the spring at the earliest.
A number of settlements has been made
by the company for rights of way on that
part of the road. The construction train on
that part of the road being laid makes II
novel sight in West Elkton.
