Current Events of the Eastern Shore o
Maryland.

Edwin B. Downes of Kenton, bought |
the Merrick farm near Engleside, $50
acres, for $15 an acre.
Letters put in the Easton postoffice
to go through the rural mail delivery,
even if addressed to Easton, require
two-cent stamp.
The marriage of Miss Mabel 1 Dent
of Baltimore, to H. Guion Denton, of
Royal Oak, is announced to take place
June 26.
On the Huntingdon farm near Cam
bridge are two tombs much over two
centuries old. These are the inscrip-
tions: Here Lyeth Inferred The body
of Madgelin Stevens, who departed
this life, Nov. "a, Ammo. Dom. 1679."
'Here Lieth Inferred the Body of
William Stevens, who departed this
life, Nov. "a, Ammo. Dom. 1884"
By the annual readjustment of post
masters salaries to take effect July /,
the following post-offices on the East
ern Shore slow an increase: Berlin,
from 81 300 to $1,000; Denton, from
81 300 to 81, 400; Easton, from 81, 300
to $4,000; Cambridge, from 300 to
$1,000; Rising Sun, from 81, 100 to
$1,000; Port Deposit, from 81, 400 to
$1,000. No post office on the Eastern
Shore shows a decrease Easton will
now be advanced from the third to the
second class
1t is made plain from the pages of
his own versatile, entertaining paper
that the editor of the Easton Peninsula
Democrat is as happy in the possession
of titles as he is in expounding Social
istic theories of government and trans
cendent codes of morals in roseate die
ton. In one item he is called "Hon. u
ard CDR" and "Col." "Maj. "Rev."
"Prof." are often put before his name.
Mr.. Lightbourne fullflls the descrip-
ton of the worthy who is big man in
his own settlement.
This is the way the Easton Ledger
(Dem) announces the political situa-
tion in Maryland: "The Democratic
party in Baltimore city is cursed with
a factionalism which seriously threat
ems the supremacy of the Democratic
party in the State. And its effect is
being felt in the counties in a dis
couraging way and in the manifesto
tion of a spirit to side with one O.
another of the Baltimore factions.
There is no principle at stake. Their
, is no political doctrine at issue. 1t /:
nothing but a mean, miserable, persC
/ nal squabble amongst unimportan
{ men, jealous of each other, and eacl
) seeking personal aggrandizement a
the expense of that unity and concord
= in the Democratic ranks, withou
] which success is impossible. 1t ha
e ceased to be, if it ever was. an homes
: rivalry for leadership: it is a contes
fol- personal supremacy in the party a
, an organization. AS the Westministe
: AdvOcate pertinently asks, "Wh
r should Mayor Hayes have a Hayes fat
d tion? Why should Mr.. Ras1n have
i Rasin faction? Why should Mr.. MOI
e rison have Morrison faction?
