DR. M'LANE'S
 CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE LIVER PILLS.

WYE beg leave to call the atten- W tion of the Trade, and more especially the Physicians of the country, to two of the most pop ular remedies now before the pub lie. We refer to
 Dr. Chas. Nj Lanes Celebrated Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
 We do not recommend them as universal Cure-alls, but simply for what their name purports, viz:
 THE VERMIFUGE, For expelling Worms from the human system. It has also been administered with the most satis- factory results to various Animals subject to Worms.
 THE LIVER PILLS, For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS, all BILIOUS DERANeEMENTs, SICK HEADACHE, &c. In cases of
 FEVER AND AGuE, preparatory to, or after taking Qui- nine, they almost invariably make a speedy and permanent cure.
 As specifies for the above men, toned diseases, they are Unrivaled, and never known to fail when ad- ministered in accordance with the directions.
 Their unprecedented popularity has induced the proprietors,
 FLEMING BROTHERS,
 PITTSBURGH, PA. to dispose of their Drug business, in which they have been success fully engaged for the last Twenty Years, and they will now give their undivided time and attention to their manufacture. And being de- termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele- brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills shall continue to occupy the high position they now hold among the great remedies of the day, they will continue to spare neither time nor expense in procuring the Best E and Purest material, and com pound them in the most thorough manner. Address all orders to
 FLEMING BROS., Pittsburgh, Pa. P.s Dealers and Physicians ordering from others than Fleming Bros, will do well to write their orders distinctly, and take but Dr. NLanes, prepared 6y Fleming Bros. Pittsburgh Pa To those wishing to give them trial, we will forward per mail post pad,t to any part of the United States box of Pills for twelve threecent postage stamps or vial of vermfuge for fourteen stamps All orders from Canada must be accompanied by twenty cents extra Gg Sold by druggists and country merchants

FHSHE Directors of the Litchield Mutual Fire
 -E Insurance Company, in submitting their 26th annual report, propose to submit herewith brief summary of their operations during the quarter of century which has elapsed since their organization, for the purpose of determining whether the Company has fulfilled the design and expectations of it's founders by afording the COZ venience of central location in our County, ex- tending facilities and resulting benefits by means of agencies established in each town and still pre- serving a just and uniform rate of insurance, and by avoiding the assumption of hazardous risks by agents, by subjecting all survey, of property and applications for insurance to a Central Board of Directors and thus furnishing to each member of the Company safe, economical, and "home'' insurance company, at equitable rates, and sccur. ing the resulting profits to the insured, as their common property.
 How well the principle of mutual insurance has been sustained, as an economical and reliable sys tenn, will appear from the following statement of the operations of the Company during the 27 years of its existence:
 The following statement exhibits the amount in csh received for premiums, the amount charg. ed on the Company books, reserved as guarantee fund, and as basis for assessment, if necessary and also. the amount of property insured which we have arranged into periods of five years, while our policies were thus extended :; and three years for the subsequent period the last being the pre- sent term of insurance:

Nee ting of the soldiers Of the War of

1SI9.
The soldiers of the war Of 1919 held
meeting al Independence Hall, Phlladel'
phis, on Monday, in honnr OF the ami
versary of the battle of New Orleans.
About $50 were present. Hon. Joel Is.
Sutherland in the chair Strong resoiu-
lions were passed in favor Of the Union,
declaring that Union men should show
their love for the Union by their deeds.
A resolution was also adopted protesting
against the passage by Congress OF the
homestead bill, because il would virtually
repeal the act granting bounty lands TO
the soldiers of 1912. The members OF
Congress who voted against ii received
vote of thanks. The following resolutions
were likewise adopted
ReSOlred, That as the revolutionary
pensioners are almost all deceased, that
now is the lime for The relief OF the old
and decrepid soldiers Of The war OF 1917
and their widows, many Of whom are now
dependant for their support upon The cold
charities of the world.
ResolUed, That as Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia line the whole border OF
! Pennsy ylvania. il is vastly important that
the closest relations OF friendship should
subsis. between one and all Of :hem, es-
peciaIly in these times when 1t is iound
necessary to deliver up traitors and mur-
derers TO the South, as was promptly done
lhy Gov. Packer, for which We publicly
thank him.
Resolued. further, That Pennsylvania,
hv position as well as by The irues, feel
Iinqs of affection, stands a willing sentinel,
ever ready TO defend her Southern sisters.
and in event of a negro insurrection Will
: ny to their relief, and hel p TO crush II out
forever.
Judge Su,herland addressed the meet
ing in an eloquent manner. He alluded
to the present agitation which is now ex-
citing the country, and said that IN the
Revolutionary war, and in the second war
the southerners had fought side by side
with us, without inquTipg as TO who held
slaves and who did not. General Wash
inglon. who owned several slaves, was
appointed commander-in-chief by Mr..
Adams, who was northern man. he
did not consider the slavery question.
The speaker had resided in Washington
for ten years, among slaves, and bad al
ways seen Them happy. lie had never
seen one drunk. or asking for bread. but
had always seen them well clad, and on
Sunday, walking the streets as hapPy as
their masters.
Judge Sutherland related some incidents
Of the var Of 1912, and his reference TO
the palan; deeds Of Gen. Jackson were
received with much applause. After tho
transaction Of some mino business, tie
meeting adjourned.

Webb's threat to "whp the South" in
different language, and is The tone OF 9th

South should not dtign 10 reply 10 ibeso
menaces in words. Let her organize her
