TO BUSINESS MEN
A
A good advortisejnent in a good paper
is the best of all salesmen. It is a sales-
D
man who never sleeps, and is never weary;
who goes after business early or late ; who
V
accosts the merchant in his store, the
scholar in Ids study, the lawyer in idsoiliee
' E
the lady in her home, the traveler in the
ears or boat; a salesman whom no purehas-
R
er can avoid; who can be in a thousand
places at once, and speak to thousands of
T
people daily, saying to each one the best
thing in the best manner. A good adver
ment insures a business connection on the
most permanent and and indeuendent basis,
s
and is, in a certain sense, a guarantee to the
customer of fair and moderate prices. Ex-
I
pcrience has shown that tiie dealer whose
stock has obtained a public eclebritv is not
N
only enabled to sell, but is forced to sell at
reasonable rates, and to furnish a good ar-
G
tide. A dealer can make no better invest
ment than in advertising in a live paper.

THE PAIR.
We are told.—tor we bad not the
1
pleasure of witnes-ung the exhibition
in former years—that the display
taken as a whole, at the Cecil County
Agricultural fair, which came off at
the Society’s grounds last week, out
ranks all former years’ For a county
exhibit, the display w..s truly gratify
ing toitspromoters and every business
man in what ever vocation employed
should feel proud ofthe enterprise
and progress his county displays at
these annual exhibitions. That the
exhibits improve Irotn year to year
steadilj’, is the best evidence of the
educating influence these public coin
petative exhibitions exert on the in
dustry of the county, especially on
its agricultural branch.
The display of machinery and farm
implements was not so large as we
expected to see or as it should have
been, but all on the ground had the
merit of being first class in its branch
There was a large and fine display
of Jersey cattle. These deer-like
little dairv cattle being general favor
ites among our farmers, who meddle
with the butter business.
We noticed a fine herd of Herford
cattle. There is no finer grazing cat
tie in the world than the Herfords.
Their popularity is growing in the
west, not even the Short llorns out
ranking them as grazers and beef
makers. There were some fine Short
horns but they were not numerous
The display of Sheep was good, the
Southdowns, being most numerous.
So many exhibits were offered in the
bovine department that the managers
were obliged to refuse some among
which were a herd of 21 Jerseys from
the State of New Jersey. This was
afterwaid regretted as a number who
secured room did not send in their
exhibits Tuesday’s rain prevented a
very large number of exhibitors from
putting in an appearance. Had Tues
day, the opening day of the Fair,
been a bright, ch ar day, the addition
to the display would probably have
been twenty five per cent; in some
departments even greater than this.
Chester Whites took precedence in
numbers among swine, of which there
was quite a large number.
The fowl department was well filled
most of the leading favorite breeds
being represented. The pair of light
Brahmas which took first prize were
indeed beauties. The pigeon displ >y
was also very fine. Tne dog and cat
had their fanciers and were both pres
ent, contesting for prizes.
The household department was rich
in its multitudinous display and was
the charm of the great Hall. The
fruit department was hut meagerlv
supplied. This lias been an unpropi
tions season for fruit. And the bee
and houey department too, was very
meagerly represented. The present
season has for the honey’ business
also, been one ofthe poorest that it
is poss ble to witne-s. Dr. Morrison
of Oxford had oo exhibition one small
colony of Corniolan bees, and there
were a few pounds of honey and bees
wax, which comprised a'l of this de- j
partment.
Among the vegetable products, po
tatoes and pumpkins took the lead.
There were some of the finest potato
es in the display that we ever saw.
and a large “turn out” of splendid 1
pumpkins. There was also some
extra fine corn exhibited. The An
nex appropriated to the floral display i
was gorgeous with its rich array of;
beauty. There should be a more ap
propriate department fitted up for
this feature of the Fair, which leads
all others in beauty.
The running and (rotting animals
over shadowed all others in the
Equine department of the Fair,
among our home narties of valuable
animals of this c!as were: Henry
Hess, John E. Wilson. Barney Moor *,
Win. T. Lee, Wm, Homewood. Stew
art Wade, H. 11. Duvckinck, George
Ainsoow. C. E Clayton, W. A Wood
row, J. T. McConnell, James Mein
tire, James Brown, William Arms
trong, John B. Armstrong, Thomas
Davidson, Albert Constable, and Juo
T Mote.
Among the fertilizer displays was
that of D. Scott & Bro. and the Or
cliilla Guano display of R. A. Wool
ridge & Co., Baltimore, were very
creditable. Campbell. Carter & Co.
are agents for the sale oT these fer
tilizers at Nottingham and A.L. Duy
ckinck & 80., at the Sun. The Waring
Fertilizer Co. had nothing on exhibi
tion, neither bad our cunners, Carter
& Brown and D. G- McCoy. This
was not as it should have been. M ak
ing an exhibit is attended with some
expense, but the more creditable the
Fair can be made to appear, the great
er benefit results to the county in
every department of business. The
Fair is an advertisement for the
whole business of the County, and not
for a few lines only, and the larger
arid more pronounced these annual
advertisements, so to speak, are made
the more business and enterprise is
drawn to the County and all are made
participators in the results. The Sun
ought, to have done better, Th
Sixth annual Fair ofthe Society was
a grear success as a Display, but we
feel that a much better can and ought
to fie made in the future. The future
is lull of encouragement, and we ti ns
the efforts ofthe Society, will, in no
wise be r> 1 xed in its noble work. It
lias already done very much, and m iy
it persevere and accmnp ish much
more of the same good work. Why
s it that our large paper and iron j
manufacturing interest do not take
part in the Agricultural Fair?
CONOWINGO ITEMS.
Business —our enterprising mer
clian s are well supplied with fall goods
and expect to do their share of the fall '•
trade. Coal lui commenced to move
in anticipation of a change to colder
weather. Alth ugh the black bass is
still willing to bite when the opportu
nity is afforded, the eel beads the
proccess on at the present time, tbecrop
of them is good and with the prospect
of a buckwheat crop we expect to live
high this winter. Our veiy effective
roadmenders are on the public high
ways. and we are having better roads
under the news stem than ever before.
Wheat is looking well ami the far
mers are taking a'vantake of the
line weather to get in the r corn, and
fatten their iiogs. The birtii day sur

The Grand Jury’s Opinion of the
Local Option Law.
“The Grand Jury have carefully ex
amined a great number of witn s-es
in reference to the violation of th
Local Option Law, in all instances
with very unsatisfactory results ami
with great expense to the county and,
feeling that the sale of intoxicating
liquors is increasing have concluded
that the enforcement of the law, as it
now stands, is impossible.”
The above is a portion of the late
Grand Jury’s report to the Court.
They plead so piteously helpless as
to move our sympathies. They know
the law is being violated, but the wit
nesses lie so that they are unable to
find a bill against any of the violat
ors. They know them well enough,
but the witnesses lie so. you know j
that we can’t catch ’em. This is
about the sum and substance of their
report. They make no receommendat
ion. Don’t advise amending the law.
Have found out its weak points, but
not a word in reference to perfecting
it, or advising that a fellow who con
fesses he has bought something that
made him drunk, should be made to
bear the punishment of the man lie
perjures himself to shield and pro
tect. He that will steal will lie. The
man who violates the law will deny
it of course. The man who buys
whiskey at a place where it is illegally
sold will also lie about it. The case
is a plain one. The crime lies lie -
tween two, the man who sells and the
man who buys and gets drunk. The
drunk fellow is easilycaugli. Ifhewont
tell or pretends not to know where
begot the whiskey let him bear the
punishment. The man who runs hunt
ing whiskey to get drunk on, is an
accomplice, and as much of a violat
or ot law as the person who seils it.
If there are no buyers there would
he no sellers. And when the buyer
is brought up as a witness, prevar
icates, and answers falsely he ought
; to be punished severely- On** needed
I amendment to the L. O. law is to
make those lying witnesses stand the
penalty imposed on the illegal seller,
j This would strengthen their memor
ies, Another provision, <>r clause,
should be added, making it. primafa
cia evidence of guilt on the part of
the dealer if he sold anything which,
made his customer drunk. The
"Grand Jury, however, in place of
preserving the dignity of a “Grand
| Inquest,” goes to the court with its
finger in its mouth and pleads the
••oibyact-’’ A “Grand Inquest!”
A Gran 1 humbug! Not a “grand.”
but a granny Jury. The mass of the
people are evasive on the rum trade,
iheir law makers are evasive, and the
courts which consume the law are
evasive. We are a set of shams, ami
half Hearted in this business. There
is money in the whiskey business and
all hands are in hopes they will get
~ome of it. The laud lord thinks he
may get a higher rent for his premises
if lie can somehow r uit them for a
rum mill of s -me sort. Tile ho:iest(?)
farmer hopes to have a goal crop of
apples and he wants ample provision
for selling his cider at the highest
figures. Toe apothecary is given the
wh de legal trailicint > his h inds, and
he can make a good thing out of the
privilege ; the physician wants to
please is patients by prescribing the
kind of medicine they like be.->t- The
professional politician finds the grog
shop the best political machine on
earth if he knows how to handle it,
and he thinks he does. And so we
go. Every man hiding it under his
coat, and crying ‘‘watch that leilow
over there." Who then is to blame
for not carrying out the prohibition
laws ? and the prophet answers every
one “Thou art the man !”
