DR.. Wistar's balsam Of Wild Cherry Is ga
combination and o form indeed" for healing
and curing diseases of the throat, lungs and
chest. 1t cures cough by loosening and cleans
ing the lungs, and allaying irritation; thus re-
moving the cause, instead Of drying up the
cough and leaving the disease behind.
Good Prices Messrs. Ogle K Miller sold for
b. +. Townsend, fifteen lots and two houses, sit
uated south of the Christiana, on Saturday last,
at prices ranging from $3.50 to $lS.25 per foot,
amounting in the aggregate to $7,109l0. The
brick house was purchased by Dennis Kane for
$lCao, and tho frame by Michael Drunney, for
1915, littls more than the price paid for some Of
the lots.
Not Correct.-The report that Dayett's mill
dam, in Pencadef Hundred, was broken by the
late freshet, Is untrue. Another report that
logs had driited into the gates and could not be
removed, is equally unfounded. The mill and
everything connected with 1t, Is In good running
order, and the best -four in the county is now
being made there. Mr.. ID. is polite and accom-
modating and highly popular In the neighbor-
hood.
Chicken Choiera.-The chicken cholera still
prevails in the neighDorhood Of Christian VII
lage, and many of the farmers have suffered
considerable loss. A lady who has crest many
turkeys uses tea made from white oak bark, aud
thus far has escaped without losing one. The
alum remedy recommended In some of the Agri-
cultural papers, as well as other remedies adver-
tises, has proved an eutire failure.

gentleman intrusted with 1t put it In his pocket,
| and 1t remained there until a few days ago.
The tax the past year was nine cents on tho
| 500. This year it has been advanced to ten,
aud as q new road is to be made leading to
baskerville, tho receipts will very probably
hardly equal the expenditures.
