HISTORICAL SKETCH
Cecil Farmers Club.

of new blood we feel we wieqd an in-
huence of no mean order. The en-
dorsement of the Cecil Farmers Club
means something in the halls of leg
islation, having gone before the Leg
islature with two special bills, formu-
lated as we'll as conceived in the
Club which met little opposition.
Among the economic questions and
achievements for which we claim
credit is the change from the District
tax collection system to the County
treasurer, the inception of the Cecil
County Fair, which was afterward al
lowed to die on account of horse rae
ing and other gambling devices over
shadowing the worthy features OF le-
climate Exhibits; the first rural free
delivery system in the county, the
procuring of a charter and establish
ing the present Gecil Farmers Tele-
phone Company, the procuring of
an act to bond the county for road
improvement, and we believe we were
instrumental in creating sentiment
which prompted our Governor (of
whom we are justly proud) in rec
ommending the State Good Roads
Law, which proved so popular that
both branches of our Legislature wed
with each other which should have
the credit of its introduction.
OF the charter members, there is
but one living in the county to-day,
four have gone to other fields of la
Dor, ten sleep in Mother Earth, their
development of which was their life
work; fourteen others have also paid
the debt of Nature, swelling the. list
Of -and-twenty; twenty-nine have
Withdrawn for various causes, leaving
eighteen in active. membership.
The Club from the beginning kept
a full record of all proceedings, but
owing to the minute book which was in
the office of the Secretary at that
time, being carried away by the food
of 1884, which inundated a portion
OF Rowlandville as well as other
sections of the county, all records
previous to that date were destroyed.
Since that time, however, we have
preserved full records which may
serve as interesting, if not valuable
assets for future generations.
The present membership of the
Club is as follows: R. K. Rawlings,
president; Wayne Reynolds, vice-pres-
ident; A. R. Brown, corresponding
secretary; Cecil E. Ewing, recording
secretary; James H. Maxwell, treas
urer; A. ]. Kitchener, ]. P. Wilson,

On the first day of the year 1879
a number of the representative farm
ers of the 9th, 9TH and 9th Districts
assembled at the home of Joseph w.
Reynolds, which was formerly known
as "Kidd's Purchase" and later as
Cecil Manor" in the 9TH District, Of
Cecil County, Maryland, and organized
what has since been known as the
Cecil Farmers Club.
The following gentlemen, whose
membership dates from that occasion,
we presume, were present: DIR. R. E.
Broomwell, S.R. Carson, H. H. Duyc-
kinck, James M. Evans, John S. Ew-
ing, George Gillespie, T. B. Gillespie,
w E. Gillespie, A. R. Magraw, w.
w Moore, John w. Mount. Thomas
H. Patton, Joseph w. Reynolds, F.
M. Rawlings and /. F. Nanarsdale.
III. H. Duyckinck was elected Presi-
dent and T. B. Gillespie, Secretary,
and constitution and bylaws were
adopted, setting forth the number Of
officers, their duties, the manner of
succession by election in January of
each year; specifying the special OBJ
jects for which the Club was formed,
the order of business. of each meet
ing, the manner of election of new
members, prescribing the method US
ual in fraternal orders. The regular
meetings are held once each month,
except during the month of July, at
the home of the active members.
The membership is at all times linn
tied to eighteen active members, with
no limit to the honorary membership
except as may be determined by the
vote of the active members. A copy
of THE present bylaws, which con-
tain some slight amendments from
the original, will show the rules and
regulations governing the Club in de-
tail.
From the beginning the Club has
maintained an active existence up to
the present. While there have been
many changes in its personnel, we
find sixty-seven names on the roll
which at some time have been in
membership, including barristers,
theologians, bankers, multi-million-
aires, yet all interested in the cuiti-
walton of the soil; and while the early
history of the Club included men
learned in the law, manipulators OF
high finance, who could entertain the
