Gentlemen, here are my tax receipts

with the words +" but the law will moi

A Church Debt Raised.

The Presbyterian Congregation OF st.
Georges was burdened until quite re-
Gently with debt of S473. Being deter
mined to cancel the debt if possible,
about twenty-five members OF the con-
gregation met on the afternoon OF
October z5th, and an earnest effort was
made to raise the entire sum needed.
Mr.. James M. Vandegrift. senior elder,
was chairman and he briefly stated the
purpose of the meeting. After the pre-
sentation of the treasurers report, which
showed how the deficit had originated, (,
those present exhibited their interest in
tie welfare of the church by promptly
raising the generous sum of S312. Then
committee was appoined to solicit con-
tributions from absent members and
friends, and as re suit of the work Of
this committee the balance Of $161 was
soon secured and the st. Georges congre-
CATION is now out OF debt. 1t is source
of qualification to the members that this
attempt to cancel debt met with such
success, for repairs to the church property
are greatly needed and they can now be
undertaken without the expectation Of
further embarrassment.

Murder in Cecil County.

Two colored men are now confined in
Elkton Jail awaiting trial for murder.
Asbury Cole, the slayer OF Samuel
Young, young colored man OF Cecilton
in August last, has been Joined by
another man accused OF murder who,
strange to say, also bears the name OF
Samuel Young, and is said to be an uncle
of the victim of Cole. The Samuel
Young confined is an elderly man, and
was taken to the Jail on Saturday after
noon by G.. E. McQuirk. He had killed
his son-in:law George Warren that day
and given himself into custody.
Coroner Litzenberg in company with
others visited the place where the shoot
ing occurred and found the body of War
rem where he had fallen after the fatal
discharge of Che gun in the hands OF his
father-in- law. DIR. Howard Bratton made
a post mortem examination and found
that the load of shot from the single
barrel breech- loading gun used had
severed nearly all OF the arteries of the
heart and caused almost instant death by
loss of blood.
The two men had a quarrel over some
dogs and it appears that Warren beat
Young, who was lying in bed with sore
foot very severely and then left the
house. Young arose from the bed and
going to the door discharged his gun at
Warren who was seen to fall forward
upon his face.
The jury rendered the following YER
dict: That George Warren came to his
death from gunshot wou nd inflicted by
Samuel Young and that the shooting was
wilful and without sufficient provoca-
tion.

Saved Che value of a Farm.

Sellers Cough Syrup has attained repu-
tation almost equal to Sellers Pills, and
more can hardly be said of any other medi-
cine. The Syrup should be kept in every
family where there are children, and grown
up people find it most valuable medicine
FOR coughs, colds, hoarseness ana throat and
lung diseases. The pills are such standard
remedy in some parts Of the country that a
family never thinks of doing without them.

Why have raised my family on Sellers
Pills, and consider them almost as essential
to family as bread. In the last thirty
years they have saved me enough, in doctor
bills, to pay for farm.-Cincinnati Times
