Mothers

There are upon the skin Of every hui
man being, child and adult alike, $780,
900 pores. Through these pores in the
form of insensible perspiration, is expell-
ed more than one-quarter of the noursh-
ment taken into the system. The inn
portance of keeping open these perspira-
ton valves upon child's body, is Sec
ond only to that of promptly digesting
the food eaten. 1t was to open the pores
of the skin and to assimilate the food
that DIR. Pitcher formulated Castoria
Loose bowels, constipation, fevers and
eruptions which are so constant among
infants and children, and which are SO
constant among infants and children,
and which kill one-third of all children
before they are five years old, arise prin-
cipally from these two causes 1t is from
the wonderful results attendant upon the
the use of Castoria in regulating the
stomach and bowels and keeping open
the pores of the skin, that Castoria ac-
ouired its world wide reputation. With
plenty of water for the body, pure air for
the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the
food, there need be no unaccounted for
sickness among children. Castoria is a
vegetable prescription without morphine
or other narcotic property Thirty years
extensive use has given it history
never attained by another medicine.

The News in Our Section.

PLEASANT HILL, Del, Oct 10th, $50.
In our letter of last week we stated
that a Mr.. Huett had received the nomi-
nation for road commissioner for this,
Mill Creek hundred, at the recent nomi-
nation election for hundred offices on the
new party's ticket. 1t should have been
Hulett instead of Huett.
Our neighbors are becoming quite fond
of music, and not a few 'close fisted,"
farmers who own big barns and fat pock-
ct books have opened their hearts and
bought an organ for their daughter Or
daughters as the case may be. The boys
will have to be contented with a pop
corn pepper and the promise of free
dom suit when they get be twenty-one.
Numbers of the folks attended the
Fair at Elkton these last few days. We
haven't heard of many exhibits from up
here being displayed. Were premiums
offered to good looking people, we are
confident we would carry off the first
and second prizes. If we didn't get them
ofcourse we wouldn't be disappointed,
but the girls would.
We read of landmarks, Well we have
a few in "our section" that should be re-
produced by artists brushes, framed and
hung up, SO that our grand and great
grand children may be privileged to see
in picture what was once real,-our
homes in early life.
The meetings at Ebenezer are increas-
ing in interest. A revival will doubtless
crown the efforts.
Our farmers are busy cutting corn now
In spite of the prediction, that there
wouldn't be a crop, the yield is lattering
where the soil was adapted to the cereal.
Now that flll has come we would love
to have some fun. Won't somebody in
vito us to a corn huskin, taiiey pullin' or
something of the sort. Address,

The Newark Library Association.

The annual meeting of the Newark
Library Association was held last Mon
day, the 4th inst, in the room of Mr..
Wilbur T. Wilson, the Librarian. More
interest than usual was shown, though
it would have been we'll, if still larger
number of the members had been pres
ent. All the old officers were reelected,
except that in the place of Rev. VIM. d.
Mackey, deceased, Mr. Charles b. Evans
was elected Vice President The officers
for the ensuing year are. President,
Joseph Dean; Vice President, Charles B.
Evans, Secretary, Miss Sue Evans; Treas
urer, DR.. H. G.. NJ. Kollock, and Libra
rian, Wilbur T. Wilson.
The usual reports were made and COM
mitties appointed. A resolution was
adopted, by which residents of the town
Of Newark and vicinity can avail them
selves of all the privileges of the library,
by paying twenty-five cents a month.
This will enable those who desire to use
the library for limited period to do so
at any time. While the library is still
largely patronized, it is unfortunately
true that the membership has fallen off.
With the opportunity now open for
any one to enjoy the use of the books, it
is reasonably expected that more inter-
est will be manifested. There are books
suited to all classes, every voc atoms, and
all ages, in the library.
But it is to be hoped there will be an
increase of the regular members, This
will insure the purchase of books from
the press, with the latest and brightest
thoughts of the latest writer's. Let the
library be made an Institution of which
Newark will have the rightto feel proud.

Battle Of Gettysburg.

1.-THE Battle of Gettysburg" from the
History of the Civil War in America by
L. B. DOrleans, Compile de Paris. Oc-
tavo, 315 pages, 3 maps. Philadelphia,
Porter and Coates.
Forasmuch as many have undertaken
to write an account of this battle with
partisan, personal or sectional procliyi-
ties, it seems good amid the din and
clamor to be able to turn away to an i'm
partial and thorough and truthful ac-
count. Years of patient study and untir-
ing research, of critical examination of
documents official and unofficial Of con-
sultation with the surviving officers of
either army, have been devoted to this
work by foreigner of exalted position
and pre-eminent ability, who then with
malice toward none and charity for all,
has written what is acknowledged to be
the fairest and most graphic description
of the conflict which decided the future
of the American Republic. All this is told
in the publishers preface, and it ought to
be repeated everywhere. For what is the
use of reading biased and distorted
accounts of any fact2 Who wants his
mind warped and his soul embittered with
falsehOodsP When lives and fortunes and
characters are at stake, how shall we listen
to the special pleader2 No such plea is
here. The criticism Of either side is as
cool as one would criticise a game of
chess. On the one side is the skillful
player who is uninterrupted in the mar
shaling of his forces, but who unwarily
puts knight out of reach when he needs
him for efficient service. On the other
side we see a player continually hamper
ed by some would-be player behind his
chair, who insist that he must play their
game; and when he resigns, another not
whit more skillful tades his place, is
allowed to play his own game, and wins.
Beautiful paper clear print, and exqui-
site binding in Blue and gold, make this
book pleasure to read. And the maps
as maps, are pleasure to look upon. But
the reader will find in them disappoint-
ment On the three that are given many
a name will be found not mentioned in
the text; while many place is mention
ed i'll the text that has no correlative
upon the maps. Then, too, there is
no map at all to indicate the maneuvers
of the armies after their change of base.
The Potomac river where they crossed,
and the country south to White Plains in
Virginia, and north to Round Top noun
toin, is not represented on any map-not
needed, wegrant, in the description of the
actual battle, yet very important to show
the moves before it, to show Just how the
pieces came into position for the onset.
One map, on a smaller scale if necessary,
yet large enough to indicate every place
named in the text would have been pre-
ferable to the three as they are. But the
maps are very fine.

and tortures of the mind, thus making
its victims suffer double affection. The

good horses contested but were unevenly

Dutchman, and when apparently about
to capture him, went into the air, and
suddenly dropped back to Sd. At this
point splan like flash passed Peach

left his feet and passed under the wire at

colt race was declared off and a special
race was substituted, consisting of the
following horses Mollie Morrill,, Richie

with first position, but before they had
gone far Mollie Morrill, passed Richelieu,
and came home winner in 239l, Richie

Weather Fine.

The seventh annual Fair of the Cecil
County Agricultural Society, at Elkton,
held this week was well patronizcd, not
only by the farmers but by visitors
from distance. The exhibits in Mitchell
Hall were very fine, TO enumerate all
would take more space than we cln give,
therefore, we mention none. There
seemed to be lack of machinery, one
of the essential exhibits, but the display
was very creditable. The display of car
riages was good and some fine vehicles
were shown. The finest lot Of cattle
never before graces a fair ground. I'm
doubtedly the display was exceedingly
full, and the owners of such stock as
shown had good cause to be proud OF
their stock. The exhibit of no. ses wis
creditable, but we hardly think it sur.
posed the display of former years. Ejfom
some cause the exhibit of sheeEG was
very small, but what was shown We're O
fine stock. There was large aifplay Of
pigs. Among the number bolne fine
breed was noticed. The display q chick.

chicks had a chance to study THE fine

was large and attracted much attbntion
