To Invalids.-Perhaps no Spring hereto
fore has been so disastrous in diseases of
the Throat, breast and lungs. Very many
are now suffering with severe Colds, which
if not promptly attended to will end in
Consumption. For all diseases of the
throat and lungs DR.. Swayne's Compound
Syrup of Wild Cherry acts like charm.
1t promotes Expectoration, and removes
all diseased matter which obstructs the
lungs, the liberation is healed and the
sufferer is restored to perfect health If
the bowels are costive, or liver disordered,
take first few doses of Swayne's Tar
Pills, which will thoroughly evacuate the
bowels, which is of the first Importance,
relieve the congested liver, and remove all
billiousness, then follow with the Wild
Cherry Syrup, and health, strength and
happiness is sure to follow. These valua-
BILE medicines are sold everywhere.
Death of Mr.. John W. Randolph.
John w. Randolph died Sunday morning
last at o'clock, at his residence, No. 145
South Broadway, Baltimore, of general

dolph was descended from the old Puritan
stock that came over in the HaAfoacer.
The deceased was born in Elkton, this
county, on the Goth of June, 1903, and
went to reside in Baltimore at the age of
eighteen, as clerk, at salary of 500
per year, with William Denny, who con,
Quoted the shipjoiners business in Balti-
more at that time. Mr.. Randolph filled
many positions of trust and responsibility,
and at the time of his death was Cashier

more. But one member of Mr.. Randolph's
family is now living, daughter. Two

Fall of q ScaffOld.-On Monday morn
ing last, while Mr. P. G. Strickland, Geo.
johnson and Thomas Green were at work
on a scaffold in the new Presbyterian
church, the scaffolding suddenly gave way
and fell with crash to the floor. Mr..
Strickland had his right leg broken near
the ankle, Mr. Green was considerably
bruised and Mr.. johnson had one of his
limbs sprained, but neither of the latter
men were seriously hurt Mr.. Strickland
injuries are of a very dangerous character,
the leg bones having sustained what the
doc ors term a compound comminuted
fracture, the bones being splintered and
broken in several pieces, which will have
to come out before the wound heals. Drs.
Tuft, Mitchell and Ellis dressed the limb.
The patient necessarily experiences intense
suffering, but is doing as we'll as can be
expected.
The scaffold which fell had been put up
and used by the plasterers and was in the
recess where the pulpit is designed to be
placed, and about ten feet from the floor.
One of the upright supports of the scat
fold, piece of knotty hemlock stuff, APP
pears to have first given way, and the
whole structure came down with a crash
so sudden that no opportunity was pre-
sented to the men on it to escape the fall,
Mr.. Green being partially covered up
under the debris of the scaffold. Many
months must necessarily elapse before Mr..
Strickland will be able to get about again.
A Cecil County BOy.-In the Kansas
(Mo.) City Journal Of recent date, special
correspondent, writing from Pueblo, Colo
RADIO, after giving an animated description
of that rising town of the Rocky Noun
tains, the writer adds a list of the princi-
pal business institutions and men Of the
city. In the list we find the following
notice of the firm of Field & Hill, forward |
ing and commission men. After stating
that they are the great forwarding and
commission men of that country, the writer
adds: "They followed the Kansas Pacific |
to Denver, and are following up the Den
yer and Rio Grande. When it reaches the
city of the Montezumas,' they will be
there too, to handle the freight business.
They are as well known among the bust
ness men of the West as are the Roth
chlds of Europe, or the Vanderbilts and |
Astors of our own country" Mr.. Hill, of |
the above firm, which received such a flat
tering notice, is a native of this county, a |
son of Mr.. Isaac Hill, who resides in the |
Eight District, near Rock Springs. Mr.. |
Hill is young man and left this county |
about seven years ago. after quitting school |
at West Nottingham Academy, to seek his |
fortune in the new West. He fell in with |
the Kansas Pacific Railroad, and by a |
steady pursuit of business has reached the |
position which merits the following notice
we have above quoted. Mr.. Hill was in
Elkton few weeks since, having been
called home on some business, as well as
to visit his father, who was at the time, |
lying dangerously i'll. Cecil has furnished |
ored reputation in the several walks of |
life, and the subject Of our present notice
bids fair to reach distinction not the least |
among them.
