THE LIC-GREETING:

To THE PUBLIC-GREETINa
Seemingly there is no good reason why
Elkton should not enjoy better amusement
the benefit Of artistic and popular entertain
ments at stated periods.
1t is my opinion that Elktoniuns are willing
aud ready to give their liberal patronage to
any entertainment vcnture which in itself is
wo! thy the support of refined audiences.
Ii is tho imposition that has been practiscd
upon them by entertainers of a character
coarse and unrenncd that has given them
otrense and caused Il feeling of mistrust here
as to the promises made ly advance agents.
This is the reason.
The confidence Of the public has been be-
traycd. The public, very justly. rcsents the
betrayal.
Now to the point.
| announce, with pleasure, that | have
arranged rs Il personal venture involving
considerable Outlay-n series of our high
class and artistic musica! festivals. which are
to test the readiness Of ElEtoniuns to apprc-
ciatc such events.
