 The following article on the injustice of taxing cotton seed oil. a most whole some article Of food, is from the New York World of the 27th ult:
 .sThe senate committee on agrleul- tnre is giving hearings to individuals interested. pro and con, in the proposed law against the sdulteration of lard. The advocates of the measure are en- deavoring to induce congress to repeat it's error of last year in laying heavy tax on valuable food product, Ineir motive is not to protect the puollc against unwhOlesome lard, but to lh- crease the price of what they them selves have to sell.
 Cotton seed oil is as clean as hog Tat. The mixture of the two m the shape or lard answers the same purpose that the animal product alone does. inc consumers find no fault with II, ana the manufacturers make no secret oi its use, The use of olive oil as iooa might just as well be prohibited III Italy and Spain as cotton seed oil legisIated against Tn the lnited states In either case there would be a sense. less rejection of one of the houhtles ol providence. If 1t IS ueSnaDit littt AdlN totitsAiAiH- cotton seed oil should be labeled So as to indicate the fact, let the law take that shane. If inspection is necessary to prevent filthy or unwholesome ln- aredients from entering into the lard plaeed on the market let the law be shaped to that effect. If congress should enact these laws and extend their application to oleomargsrine, after repeating the act of last year, the nanding the agitation of the subject lyonld become something to be glad or. Arkansas Democrat.
 Senate bill No. 6 50, above refererred to- has justly excited the indignation of this people. The cotton seed oil industry is the only exclusive Southern enterprise: paying to our planters for seed nearly Sl0,000,000 annually. The massage of this bill would injure, if not entirely destroy this industry. Cotton seed oil. used as substitute for hog lard. is plainly much purer, and the onlv reason a bill of this kind has been ip.roduced is to protect monopoly, or in other words, increase the price of what they themselves have to sell. A netition has been circulated here ana contains neaIs every prominent mans name against the passage or this bill.

connection. He was of the opinion that
the animals died of catarrh but Dr.
Rowland, state veterinary of Delaware,
agreed with some of our home physicians
that spinal meningitis was indicated.
Mr.. Fenton being poor man was unable
to purchase more horses and worked
his farm until recently with oxen.
His neighbour, Mr.. Henry Wright, very
kindly contributed himself and went
around among the people of the vicinity
and Elkton and raised enough money to
put Mr.. Fenton in possession of several
horses. One of the horses purchased a

WOODLAND, June Goth, 1888.
Theodore Marshall is removing the last
old land mark Except the dweliing) of
Battle Swamp, that is the old stable which
has been standing on the public road for so
many years. The blizzard last spring par
alyzed it, and it never recovered from the
shock; so he intends building new one
across the road in much better place, and
using the old one az far as it will go, which
will add very much to the looks of the place.
Mr.. James Gwinn has had his country
residence all hedged in by the Cecil Hedge
Company. | think they set out about one
mile of it, as it runs up to Battle Swamp
and around on the chapel road
hear they are going to havea new school
house in place of the old chapel. They are
not getting it before it was needed. Miss
Owens, the teacher of the chapel school, has
had the house packed with children this
year. Many have been the graduates of the
old school in former years.
The sound of the steam whistle is heard
in our neighborhood. Mr.. Samuel Freeman
of Philadelphia, who bought the john
Burlin farm last fall, is having all the
timber cut off. Mr. Kebble, of Lancaster
county, is the contractor, and he expects to
have work enough on the place to keep his
saw mill busy until Christmas. Mr.. Free
man is having an addition put to his barn,
and also a large straw house, as he expects
to raise enough to fill it. and also have
considerable to sell. He is the man for the
place, for he is doing what ought to have
been done years ago. In few years You
will not know the place.
Mr.. j. L. Clendenln is putting a large
straw house to his barn where his mother
and sisters reside, which will add much to
the appearance of the place. Mr. s. T.
Hindman, of Colora, is the contractor for
both. Mr.. Hebble is getting the frames for
these buildings out. At this present time
it looks as though there would not be enough
to fill the old barn. The wheat crop is going
to be good. but he hay crop will not be
more than half crop, as the timothy is
very short.
Mr.. II, X. Rawlings greatly improved his
dwelling house last fall by raising it another
story, and addingtoit large back building
all covered with slate. He has bought the
Nathan Mccullough property, so now he
has as fine farm as there is in this part of
the county.
Charles NJ. Keilholtz has put up a nice
porch to the front of his house, and is now
giving it a coat of paint, which has added
very much to the looks of the place.
