Antifermentine is simple, harmless
preparation, free from taste, smell and
color, that has the property of stopping
and preoentiag Fermentation in all vegeta-
bic food. 1t is especially useful for pre-
serving fruit of all kinds, retaining the
natural fresh appearance and taste Of the
fruit. Its use does away with labor, and
makes what has been hot, disagreeable
task, delight and pleasure, 1t substi-
tutes for the summer heat of the kitchen,
the cool shade of the lawn or piazza. It's
results are never doubtful when used
according to directions, and Strawberry
Short Cake, and Peach and Berry Pies
can be had in winter as well as in summer
Its use is profitable and economical, for it
saUes one-half of the sugar, saves the jars
broken by heat, SG0es the fruit cooked
away, and saves time and labor lost by the
old methods One package will put up
80 quarts Of fruit. For sale by GEO. RULL-

The Annapolis Improvement AnaOcIa-

At the meeting of the Annapolis
Improvement Association held on
Thursday night, there were twenty
three new members enrolled, increas-
ing the membership to thirty EIGHT.
An imitation fee of 81 is charged, or
the planting of shade tree is consid-
cred an equivalent Sixteen persons
have become life members of the as
sociation by subscribing $25. The
erection of of a public park and four
tain on Market Spsee, facing the har-
Dor, will inaugurate the improve
ments which the association proposes
to make at an early day.
The Baltimore Sun in we'll writ
ten editorial upon the subject, says
"The mere idea of improving and
beautifying the city, and of opening
roads and encouraging the extension
of railways that shall unite all the
pleasure grounds extending from
Round Bay to Bay Ridge, is an ex-
cellent one, and even if all the expec-
tations of the promoters of the i'm
provement are not realized, yet
enough may be done to make Anna.

sidential cities.

TIME TABLE.


The rays of happiness, like
those of light, are colorless when un-
broken.
He hath good judgment that re-
lieth not wholly on his own.
Emulation is lively and generous,
envy base and malicious.
Nightly quarrels now: "Katy-
did-Katy didn't" You're another
so you are.
The oysters vacation will close
in another month.
1--WE study to please" is the mot
to of young women hunting for hus-
bands.
Mash mans hat and you injure
the style of it. Put woman's bon
net in your pocket and it comes out a
beautiful thing of fashion.
Let every man turn himself
around and look at home, and he will
find enough to do
The circulation of political litera-
ture will soon be the order of the
day.
The school children are beginning
to count the number of days before
vacation ends.
There are some fine borders of
weeds growing along some of our
streets.
There has been good deal of
petty thieving carried on in and
around our town this season, and
threats are made by those who
have suffered of trying the shot gun
policy.
What you are doing for love you
can do no longer for mere gain. The
higher motive drives out the lower.
One gains courage by showing
himself poor; in that manner cne robs
poverty of its sharpest sting.
Those sentiments of love which
flow from the heart cannot be frozen
by adversely.
The opening of the camp-meet-
ing season has fairly broke the back
bone of the threatened drouth in this
section, and farmers need have no
further fear of rain.
Why should lovers avoid corn
fields? Because there are too many
years about.
If you are imbued with proper
local spirit, you will patronize home
dealers and home mechanics as much
as possible, if you do have to pay
little percentage charged by Annapo-
lis dealers.
The way a young man gets rid
of his sweet heart nowadays, is to
play with loaded revolver, and let
it accidentally 60 off and kill her.

servant not making her appearance
