Not a Quorum.

The meeting of the stockholders
of Rising Sun shoe factory, which
was called for Monday, resulted in
no business being transacted on
account of there not being enough
of stock present to constitute a
quorum, and the meeting adjourned
till Monday, February 10th, to
meet at the same place, Kinks Hall,
at 2 p. M.
An informal conference and ex-
change of views after hearing the
Presidents report, did not hold out
any encouragement for the future
of the factory. A shirt factory and
a condensed milk factory were dis
cussed, but not sufficient data was
at hand to base anything on for the
future. The suggestion of Mr..
Duyckinck was that the concern be
sold and the affair closed up, as a
continuation of present conditions
involves constant expense and an
increasing Indebtedness, which. is
at present about So, 400.
A splendid building is here ready
for some business, but what is it +?
These piping times of prosperity in
the newspapers show up only under
millionaire trusts. Small business
has no chance.

A Word as to Vaccination.

In view of the fact that smallpox
prevails in Virginia, Pennsylvania
and Delaware. the Cecil County
Board of Health consider it adyis-
able that all unvaccinated persons
Should be vaccinated at once. The
law directs, under IA heavy penalty,
that all children over one year OF
age, shall be vaccinated. If small
pox should break out the Board of
Health would be expected to fight
it and to assume all responsibility
for its spread, therefore the CO.
operation of interested parties is
asked in its prevention by timely
preventive measures. The vaccine
physicians of the different districts
will yaccipate, free of charge, all
persons who are nnahle to pay for
the seryiee.-Cecil News.

Enough to flake Craven Image
Laugh.

The Senate Finance Committee
reported new section to the Fl.
nance bill Tuesday, as follows
"That the provisions of this act
are not intended to place any OBJ
stacles in the way of the accom-.
plishment of international bimetal-
ism, provided the same be received
by concurrent action of the leading
commercial nations of the world,
and at a ratio which shall insure
permanence of relative value be-
tween gold and silver.v
And this by the Republican Sen
ate, after they had buried silver
forty thousand fathoms under the
sea Bryan's visit to the East
seems to have revived the bimetal
plank in the Republican party of
1896. But it is hardly likely that
such a clumsy trick will deceive
the people again.

Fair Grounds Sold.

AuC SrOuHuS Vi the cecil county
Agricultural Society at Elkton,
containing 26 acres of land, with
improvements consisting of one
half-mile race track, grand stand,
Judges stand, "MitchelFs Hall, "
stabling for several hundred horses,
cattle sheds, etc., were sold at
mortgage sale in Elkton on Tues
day, by r. G. Thackery, attorney,
under a mortgage of $4,000. Geo.
r. Ash, Of Elkton, bid it in for
IS, 400.
The grounds were handsomely
adapted for fair purposes, situated
along the railroad, aud contained
one of the best race tracks in the
country.
The agricultural society was or
ganized in June, 1880, with Adam
Mctiraw as president, Thomas
Bremen vice president, John Par
fridge secretary and George A.
Blake treasurer. The first fair was
held October 10, Ia and Is of that
year, and was most successful one.
The first meeting of the stockhold-
ers was held January IL, 1881,
stock to the amount of 81, TAO hav-
ing been issued.
The exhibits reached large o.
portions. Immense crowds an
nually attended the fair, and at one
time the receipts of single fair
nearly reached $4,000. The So
ciety, however, never got out of
debt; on the contrary, its obliga-
tons increased.
In 1889 DIR. Chas. M. Ellis. of
Elkton, was elected president to
succeed Mr.. McGraw. DIR. Ellis
took hold of the affairs of the soci-
ETY. with energy, added new attrac
tons and increased the premiums.
In 1891 the society held no exhibi
ton owing to the fair of 1890 hav-
ing met with unfavorable weather.
In the fall of 1891 stockholders
meeting was held, at which time
the Indebtedness of the society was
$13,932.
AT the meeting in November.
1891, new board of directors was
elected and George s. Woolley, of
Chesapeake City, was elected pres
ident, and arrangements were made
to check foreclosure, and the float
ing debt was taken care of. The
exhibition of 1892, held In Septem
Der, was success, as was also the
exhibition of 1898 and 1894, sew
eral thousand dollars being paid on
the mortgage and interest.
In 1896 the society leased the
grounds to racing association, and
from this received good sum, suf-
ficient, in fact, to reduce the in
debtedness from $l4,C GOO in 1892 to
about So, 1000 in 1897.
A new board of directors was
elected last year and DIR. Ellis again
placed in command as president.
Four hundred shares of stock held
in a block were purchased by the
society for $4,000, the society Civ
ing mortgage to the Mutual
Building Association of Cecil
County for o. 600 to enable them to
make the purchase of the stock.
Elaborate preparations were made
for the fair of last year, additional
premiums being offered and the
racing purses being almost doubled.
A few days previous to the dates
set for holding the fair the man
ayers deemed it necessary to call
the fair off owing to the lack of
interest manifested in the exhibi.
tion and to the limited number of
race entries.
