The Ice King Refrigerator,

Which created such sensation, and took
the first premium at the Cincinnati Exposi.
ton, Sc. Louis Fair, Illinois State Fair, and
sn the Fairs throughout this State generally
last season, is now for sale and can be seen
in actual operation ct f. W. SPenoer's
Household Furnishing Goods Emporium, on
illinois street.
The Refrigerator possesses many aavan-
tages over all others ever manufactured,
among which may be mentioned the fact
that it saves fifty per centof the ics required
in any other Refrigerator of the same size
1t is a preserver, not g consumer, like the
numerous ice meters called Refrigerators.
1t produces dry, cold temperature in the
preserving chambers. The temperature can
be reduced to fourteen degrees beLoso freezing
point. One article of food will not psrtake e
Of the smell or tsst Of another. The pro
vision chambers are always dry, sweet
and clean, as they have no drippings from
ice. Fish, game and meats of all kinds can
be kept frozen any length of time, and in q
perfectly dry and preserved condition. The
Refrigerator is divided into two separate and
distinct compartments, and also has Water
Cooler attached, which furnishes an uulimI
tied supply of ice cold water cithout putting
| ace an the todter. 1t consumes about ter
cents worth of ice every twenty-four hoar'
This economical piece of furniture costs nj
more than any other refrigerator, and Ii
manufactured of all sizes, and suitable fo
Hotels, Restaurants, Grocers and for famil.
purposes.

The Reason WAY. The Immediate
cause of premature fading or blAnching of
the hair is an obstruction of the oil vessels
which afford the coloring matter. The re
mote cause may be general i'll health, trou
BILE of mind, etc. Hence, in order to restore
its natural color and beauty the oil vessels
must be restored to their normal condition
II is on this principle that NATURES
HAIR RESTORATIVE is compounded
and it has proved complete success, wher'
eveI faithfully applied. It is not q poison

and in severe cases two or three bottles are

ent from Townsend wrote to the Middlctown
transcript that coored lady went into a re-
ligious meeting in that village, recently, and
so ncensed the white people that many of
them went home, particularly when Mr.. Fin
ley. the class leader, called on her for her ex
perience. 1t seems that the person referred
to is q respected old colored woman named
Hannah Roddle, and Mr.. Finley explains the
circumstances thus
In the first place there was no "consterna-
ton" on the entrance of the colored lady, nor
did any white lady leave the meeting until it
closed. There was no excitement on account
of ebony" being there; on the contrary all
present seemed to desire to hear her speak,
and as she was invited by Democrat member
of the meeting | could see no impropriety in
giving her the privilege of speaking. Now, as
he, the correspon1e has taken this meet
ing under his supervision, wish him to come
out openly &nd fairly and tell US what would
be right in such cases; what one of his rights
has been infringed upon by the good old color
ed woman, who has been a faithful christian
and peaceable resident of this community foI
more than thirty years.

have taken the trouble to estimate, and who
have raised good crops, inform us that their
wheat has proved loss to them. The price
realized Is not adequate to meet the expense of
growing 1t, because the great West has out
rivaled US in its production. The natural
fertility of the soil of the Western States and
Its peculiar adaptabiity to the growth of both
wheat and corn, has rendered the cultivation
of these crops no longer profitable in this
section, and our farmers will have to turn their
attention to some other branch Of agriculture
This, we believe, is the opinion of both the
farmers and the press of the Peninsula. But
in the raising of fruits and vegetables, owing
to their Punishable condition, our proximity to
the great cities and our facilities for reaching
the same, this competition cannot prevail.
Several of our Eastern Shore exchanges have
been discussing this question, and two of them,
the Cecil Wing and Denton Union, have dec-
ded that stock raising and the dairy business
would be the most profitable, which might ap-
ply very well to Cecil county, but we believe
that fruits and vegetables are the crops for this
part OF the Peninsula in general way Grow
ing grass and fattening stock may pay best in
special localities, where certain peculiarities Of
soil is best adapted to it.
These hints and facts are merely thrown out
however, to awaken an interest in the matter
among the farmers.
