COUGHS, COLDS AND CONSUMPTION.
"A cold Is but slight thing; l
never use any medicine when 1 have
a cold" How often do we hear this
from thinking people, even, whom we
would give credit for more caution, if
not sense. A cold, no matter how
slight, ought not to be neglected, for it
will lead to cough, and constant
coughing to Inflammation, which
quietly but rapidly steals its way to
the lungs, ending in rapid consump-
tion. e. X. Thompsoh's Improved
Cough Syrup has been before the pub
lie for years, and thousands testify to
its good effects in curing coughs of
long standing, and deep seated as well
as the most recent.

son, Titusville, Pa. Price soc and ST..

The Board of Pardons is receiving
a fire all along the line The Pitts
burgh Dispatch wants the constitution
amended and the board abolished.
The Harrisburg Patriot says that
"division of responsibility has in
creased instead of diminishing the
pardon abuse. The Board of Pardons
has become criminal court of appeals
in which the trial in the court below is
reviewed, with the important differ
ence that the Commonwealth in good
many cases is wholly unrepresented." "
1t isn't surprised that there is ageneral
demand for the abolition of the Board.
The Pittsburgh Telegraph thinks lit
is too easy for each individual secretly
to favor pardon, and then in public
to shift the responsibility upon his
fellow members" The Lancaster NeU
Era looks for an era of outrage and
crime as a result of the recent pardon
of twenty-nine criminals by the hoard,
and it is "almost tempted to ask OF
what use courts and juries are so long
as the Board of Pardons is in exist
encs."

Judge Lowell has decided that
some 100000, notes of The Union
Mills, of Fall River, signed only by
the treasurer, when the bylaws Of the
corporation required that they be coun-
tersigned by the president, are valid
claims against the concern, on the
ground that the rule had not been OBJ
served for number of years before
the company became bankrupt. The
Judge also held that the notes had been
bought by innocent holders before ma
turity, and that these parties could not
be held responsible for the application
of the corporations money or be af-
fected by any fraudulent use of the
proceeds of the notes.

The report of the Grand Jury to
the Criminal Court last Friday after
noon contained the following: ave
recommended to the General Assembly
of the State that the crime of rape be
more severely dealt with. The records
of late years show that it is largely on
the increase, and unless summarily
and severely dealt with will continue
to increase. We recommend that the
raping of child under twelve Years
of age be made capital oftense, and
be punished with death; that the at
tempted rape of child under twelve
years be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary for life"

SATURDAY. Evening March LIZ 1919


GENERAL REMARKS-This has been q
warm. spring-like day. the sun being for the
most part clouded and obscured, and though
the signs portended rain. there was not a drop
that visited this portion Of Gods vineyard.
In the matter of Cotton tho advices from
abroad were not encouraging. and consequently
there was not strong feeling in the market.
The sales summed up $500 bales.
The stock of Flour is light. and the demand
which is small. is confined to the local trade.
In Provisions the advices from the Western
centres of trade indicated an improvement In
the market, and for that reason our local trade
had a better and more settled complexion. The
demand for Mess Pork was fair. especially in a
iobbing way, and on sales from first hands the
market was very firm at $40 1901.
COTTON--Throughou the day the market
ruled irregular and easy, being. Influenced by
unfavorable advices from abroad. The inquiry
was fair and the sales amounted to 660O bales
, The following is the official closing of the
