MARYLAND ITEnS.

Misses Lillian Rood, Blanche Tenn
pie, Messrs. Joseph NJ. Parvis and w.
j. Price, Jr. who attended the Tennes-
see Exposition, at Nashville, have re-
turned to their home in Centreville.
States Attorney, J. Frank Harper,
will leave Centreville this week for
trip to California and other points of
interest in the far West. He will be
absent from home for about a month.
Charles w. Easley, who recently
graduated at Dickinson College, has
been appointed to the chair of Natural
Science in Troy Conference Academy.
Poultney, Vermont.
Some of the local officers have been
busy during the present week, says the
Centreville Observer, serving notices
on tenants to quit on expiration of
their terms. Republican politicians
have been serving notices on Demo-
Gratis to quit their places long before
their terms expire.
A CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES
SENATOR.-Political gossip informs us
that Mr. John S. Writ, of Cecil coun-
ty, is anxious to return to the Legisla-
ture this season. His prime object is
to promote his own ambitious designs.
Mr.. Writ is hopeful that the next Uni
ted States Senator will come from
the Eastern Shore; an d should such
contingency happen, he is further
hopeful that he will be the choice of
Dame Fortune. Whether this ambi-
ton will bring him into conflict with
Judge Stump's aspirations is as yet
problematical.
A SLICK SwINDLE, THIS. There is a
slick swindler operating ON the PENN
sula. He was in Talbot county few
days ago, and victimized few mer-
chants who were gullible enough to
fall into his trap. By few questions
he finds what city firm the merchant
deals with, and then represents him
self as agent for the firm, saying the
regular salesman for the territory he
happens to be in will not be around
again. Then he tries to get en- order
from the merchant, giving him special
inducements and asking a cash deposit
to bind the bargain. In Easton he
represented as connected with the firm
of Pyle Mcdowell & Co., whose sales
man for this territority is t. JEFF Pyle.
Mr.. Pyle was in town this week and ex-
posed the swindle. ~ E'dston Ledger.

ACTIVE PoLITIcs. Although this
is an off year in politics in Delaware,
there is as much stir and talk in the
newspapers as in a Presidential wear.
The contention after offices to be given
by the Federal authorities is something
awful and has caused bad blood al
ready before one-tenth of the offices to
be given out have been filed. The
lucky ones are correspondingly happy
while the unsuccessful ones are mad all
over.
The Union Republicans have entered
protest after protest over several ap-
pointments for post offices made in
Kent and Sussex counties and thus far
without much avail. There will be a
big fight when the Republican repre-
sentatlves meet again, and war and ru-
mors of war are heard on every hand.
Better times are ahead. The adj
vance agent of prosperity has been con
siderably ahead of the show, but all
the same the good times are slowly adj
and have begun to show the
result of returning confidence to the
people and those who have capital
seeking an investment. The Pusev
" Jones Company have more work in
view than for several years, and are in
need now of ship carpenters. The
Harlan Il Hollingsworth Company
paid out over $4,000 more the past
month than for several years past.
They have plenty of work now and the
is brighter and morepromising
than since the panic set in and the wave
Of prosperity promised by President
and his advance agents, says

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE The
Pennsylvania Legislature is about as
bad as the one that recently adjourned
in Delaware. 1t is still holding on, do
ing nothing but piling up the expenses
for the taxpayers and awaiting the
orders of Boss Quay.
Indeed, no organization of alleged
men ever seemed to be so powerless to
act as men as the Legislature. If re-
ports are true many of the members
have not ability enough to save money
to pay their expenses at the State cap
ital, and are waiting for Quay to
straighten out their finances.
The difference between Delaware
and Pennsylvania is that we have a new
constitution and things are going to be
different here, while in Pennsylvania
the grip of Quay is as complete as ever.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
THE OLD COUNTRY ROAD.

From the busy haunts of farmer-folk
1t starts on its winding way.
Goes over the hill, and across the brook,
Where the minnows love to play;
Beside the mill with its water-wheel,
And the pond so dark and deep.
Then up to the tavern and village store,
And the church. where the dead lie asleep.
You would never think that the country
road,
From the hill to the store. could be
So long to boy with an errand to do
And another boy to see.
You can never dream how short It is
From the farm to the frozen pond.
Nor how very much farther 1t always is
To the schoolhouse just beyond.
Oh, the country road! at the farther end
1t runs up hill and down.
Away from the woods and the ripping
brook,
To the toiling. rushing town.
But. best of it all when you're tired and
sick
or the weary haunts of men,
If you follow it back. 1t will lead you home
To the woods and fields again.

THE PASSING YEARS.

The years pass one by one, and we grow
old,
But time brings joys increased thousand
fold,
Experience deepened, wisdom widened
much,
Mind; soul and sense brought into closer
With natures harmonies. with things sub
lime
Rounded and ripened by the touch of time.
Why should we shun the mellowing work
of years,
The promise-rainbows, gemmed prismatic
tears?
The hand of sorrow when our hearts were
sad
Led on through shaded paths to days more
glad;
Each storm brought smiling calm. each
night its morn,
Out of the midnight bright-eyed stars were
born.
And If the shadows often dimmed the sun
Back Of their somber curtains-dark and
Grand Transformation scenes were broad
ly set,
The memory of their beauty living yet;
For were they not more glorious in each
grace
Because veil first hid each radiant face;
What, though the cave be dark. it's visions
hid,
To burst forth glorious when we lift the
lid?
1t shines respondent If in swift surprise
1t flashes unexpected on our eyes.
The law OF contrast makes a single spark
A glorious star when glowing in the dark.
Day would lose grace If it were always
day;
Gold skies seem richer beconse sometimes
gray;
Warmer the summer hues and summer
glow
Contrasted with the winter clouds and
snow;
These natures foils to show in bold relief
White joys projected on backgrounds Of
grief
Thank God, each hour of darkness or Of
pain
Makes sunbeams brighter when they come
again;
More glorious are the rosy, smiling skies,
Because they bloom from gloom in quick
surprise.
Heavens joy supernal we shall feel ant
know
The better that it's matchless CLEAN ant
glow
VIII be contrasted with earth life below.

IMPROVED ROAD MAKING.

An Interesting Interview with the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The Importance of good roads is rec
ognized by all, and so is the expense
necessary to produce them considered
of equal significance. Upon the sub
iect William E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record, says: Secretary Wilson has
given directions to Gen. Roy Stone,
chief of the bureau of good roads at
the department of agriculture, to con-
struct a sample steel roadway at the
most convenient location he can find
at the Nashville exposition, where it
may be seen and studied by the visit
ors who will attend during the sum-
mer. Secretary Wilson thinks the
steel trackway for wagons is the east
est solution of the good-roads prob
lem, particularly in the west, where
stone and gravel are scarce and the
soil is deep and sticky.
mo road material promises so much
hope to the western farmers as the fiat
bars of steel at the present cost of
manufacture" said the secretary,
"and / propose to have sample roads
built, not only at the Nashville ex-
position, but at different points
throughout the country, where they
will afford practical object lessons to
county commissioners and other Of
fcials having the highways under
their charge. The steel manufacturers
are taking hold of the matter with

COOPERATION PAYS.
A Wisconsin DRirymau Points Out
Some of Its Advantage.


The success of the cooperative sys-
tenn is brought about in the main by
it's predominating simplicity. No bust
ness enterprise can meet with success
without a complete understanding Of
it's details by the promoters. In the CO.
operative system in vogue to-day the
monthly statement issued shows to
each and every patron the part he has
enacted to accomplish the given whole
He sees just what he has done, and what
it has benefited him in dollars and
cents. He sees just what his employees
have accomplished, and sees just what
they receive for the same. He knows
the value of his milk product for the
month in point of test. He knows the
test is true, unbiased, and he questions
it not. His weights are actual. He
has full confidence and pride in the en-
tcrprise and realizes that he himself is
part of the corporate body, with
rights unquestioned. On the other hand,
in the case of the homeopathic cream
cry, the patron is in no way consulted
as to the management of its affairs.
He has no voice in the selection of it's
officers. If he questions the accuracy
Of his weights or tests or insinuates
that the price for his product is less
than he reasonably supposes it should
be, he is trespassing upon dangerous
grounds. He has no right to an in
sight of the working of it's affairs. He
is simply expected to be patron, whose
duty is merely to furnish the material
from which others are to make profits.
The marked success of the CO.
operative creamery is noticeable in al
most every locality in which it has been
| established. 1t almost invariably in
| creases the area of it's territory and sup
plants all other systems, it's honest,
open, simple methods winning the adj
| miration of all observers. In my coun-
| ty, where five years ago the cooperative
system was unknown, there are to-day
| in successful operation 16 creameries,
averaging in receipts 5000 to 10000
pounds of milk per day, and in the sum
| mer months some of them reaching
over 10000. Almost every one Of these
factories supplanted other systems. and
| it is noticeable fact that in nearly
every instance the same territory under
the cooperative system has largely in
creased, and in many cases doubled its
product, owing to the popularity of the
system and the mistaken confidence Of
the producers. / predict for the sys-
TEN a successful future.-H. S. Bell, in
