READ AND LEARN FOR YOURSELF.

Many valuable discoveries and much useful
knowledge is kept from the world, because of
the.immense expense in making them known to
the people. This is not the case with BoscBEE's s
GERMAN SYRUP, although but a few years in
troduced into this country, its sale now
reaches in every town and village in the q. S.
Its wonderful success in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Asthma, and all other diseases
Of the throat and lungs, was first made known
by distributing every year, for three years,
over 400, 900 bottles to the afflicted, free of
charge, by Druggists. No such test Of merit
was ever given before to any other prepara-
tion. Could you ask more 2 Go to your
druggist, H. Chamberlaine, Middletown, or

and try it. Sample bottles 10 cents.

A Active Thief.
The Smyrna Times says young negro
man calling himself Nathan Demby went to
that town, from Middletown, last Friday and
between that time and Monday managed to
commit petty thefts from four different par
ties. he was finally caught in the act and
sent to Dover Jail He carried neatly made
model Of the New Castle whipping post and
pillory about with him, which the Times
thinks is striking coincidence.
A Schooner I'm Trouble.
TIE schooner John A. Curtis, from Rich
mond, Va, arrived at Delaware City, Mon
having blown away her mainsail and jib, she
hove to and lost part of her deckload. On
Monday morning the ice carried her ashore at
Bombay Hook; tug got her off and tewed
her into Delaware City. But even then her
troubles were not ended, for she was immedi-
ately libeled by the officers of the tug to
secure payment for their services.
Christmas Goods.
Rice's toy and confectionery store is assur-
edly the headquarters for Christmas goods in
Middletown. His shelves, counters, cases and
windows are filed TO over6owing with all
kinds and varieties Of candies, nuts, cakes,
fruits, toys and all other things to make glad
the hearts of the little ones. His store is the
veritable headquarters Of Kriss Kringle for
this vicinity. Rice deserves the patronage of
the people Of this neighborbood, for he spares
no pains cr expense to have things nice, and
his store and ssioon are credit to the town.

THE FARMERS TINE FOR

Now, that he summer crops viii soon be
gathered, and our farmers everywhere are hap
by over the abundant harvest, together with
the fact that the demand for agricultural pro
ducts will be great enough to realize good re-
turn in tue market it is we'll that those of our
friends who intend visiting the Cent enral have
their attention brought to the best and most
economical means of reaching the Exhibition
now being held to commemorate our Tooth An
niversary as a Nation.
Undou btedly greater facilities are now afford
ed by the Great TT. Wayne II Pennsylvania
Line for reaching the GATEWAY OF THE
CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, than is in the!power
of any rival to offer; while for convenience.
comfort and economy, none can dispute the
fact that it is the most desirable, hOrtest and
quickest route to the Centennial depot; in the
immediate neighhorhood of good hotels whose
prices range from two to four dollars per day,
and within five minutes walk of the Main En-
trance, thus saving to the visitor the cost and
annoyance of transfer incident to other lines.
Not the least attractive to our farmer friends
will be the Encampmcnt of the National
Grange of the Patrons Of Husbandry, at Elm
Station, near the Centennial Grounds, on the
line of this road. where ample accommodations
have be,n provided for agricutturists, at the
moderate price of two dollars per day. Ar
rangements have been perfected by this line by
which Centennial tickets, to Philadelphia or
New York and return, good for sixty days, can
be obtained at any coupon ticket Office In the
West.
