Brought it Out.

1t is novelty to sec the arrival Of n
band Of burglars in any neighborhood
regarded rather in the light Of a public
beucfit, but such case is of recent oc
curence. Several burelarious opera
tions took place in different parts OF
Frederick covn;y, Nirg,nia, causing
great alarm throughout that region.
This according to the Winchester Times
had the eff ect Of bringing to the banks
large deposits, which often came from
unexpected quarters. People who have
been suspected Of having cash enough
to pay their taxes made their appearance
in Winchester with sums for deposit
ranging from hundreds to thousands Of
dollars, and the money, market Of that
place suddenly became remarkably easy
all on account Of the burglars in
frederick county having frightened the
country men, who had been boarding
their currency since the panic. This
money now goes into general circula
ton.

Nick Bowers was member Of the or

The Lien Law-Important Rulings

We clip the following from The
Lancaster Ledger:
Upon motion, to dissolvci attach
ment on an agricultural lien in the cese
of j. r. Kirkpatrick ys. B. f. Fergu
son, which came before his Honor
Judge T. j. Mackey, at the recent term
of the Court f or this County, his Ii oncr
ruled as follows:
"That it is essential to the validity
of az agricultural lien that thu aadyanc es
made should consist solely Of such sup
plies as are essential to the production
of tho crop. The advances of such sup
plies, however, do not operate with in
themselves as lien, they must be made
pursuant to on agreement fixing their
value in money. and such asreem ent
must be entered into and recorded be
tore any ofthe supplies furnished The
reason of the law in this respect is, that
the lienee should be guarded against
his own improvidence by fixed limit
to his credit and the'record will protect
others against being imposed upon by
a secondary agreement
fAll costs incident to the seizure and
sale of the crop must be paid by the
sinor, for the crop under the. Statute is
bound only for the amount advanced,
and not for the disbursements in enforc
ing the, lien so,l
1.-THE claim of laborers for services
rendered in the production of the crop
is preferred lien and must be paid be
fore the lien for advances is satisfied.
The rent is next to the laborers lien a
preferred lien upon the crop.
"The advances for supplies can only
bind the crops for the agricultural year
in which they are made. They cannot
Operate as lien upon future crops.
The lien must rest solely upon the crop
and cannot bind work ap;-..i~ md
TI|ss sesty A horx or or maFs sold
for the purpose ofPF5aetscius crop will
operate as u lien upon the crop, it being
II supply within the meaning OF the
Statute.
Contracts for the renting os land Cor
the. coming year will carry with them
statutory lien on onc.iourth OF the crop
but If the contract to rent expires. y o
provid es, the rental will be n lien upon
ne.third OF the crop, provided, thot the
contract be duly recorded as in the case
Of advances made.
''The homestead exemption cannot be
plead to protect crop against tue
enforcement Ola lien for advances made
to enable party to produce the crop ,
but no mortgage or lien can be enforced
against crop raised on the homestead,
except in the case above stated.
"lf a crop produced on ira ct of
land which, together with the build
ings thereon, does not exceed one thous
and dollars in value, no part Of the
crop, however great its value, is subject
to execution for debt"

The Remedy.

To escape the worthless abomina-
tions offered under the title of Flavor
ing extracts and Baking Powders, rests
wholly with the consumers, they are
the ones that have to suffer. Purchase
only those articles you know by eXpe-
rience to be pure. Look upon cheap
goods as an evidence of their adultera-
ton and worthlessness, upon those
that dealers complain Of as being too
high to keep for sale as an argument
in their favor; for good, pure goods
cannot be sold as worthless ones, and
afford n less profit to manufactures and
dealer. DR.. Prices True Flavorlng
Extracts and Cream Baking Powder
