Ayers Cherry Pectoral- 1t assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays

most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before tho
public for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my expert
ence, so reliable as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral. For years was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, was adj
vised to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside. / did
so, and within a week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then / have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure"
Mrs. L. l.. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"a few years ago took severe cold
which affected my lungs. had ter
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave

which relieved my lungs, induced sleep,

recovery Of my strength. By the con-
tinual use of the Pectoral, permanent
cure was effected. Horace Fairbrother,

Sussex County Court.

The case of Eli Sharp VS.. Fisher, for tres
pass and damage by cutting seventy-nine
pine trees, occupied the court from Thursday
of last week, until Tuesday noon of this week.
The case hinged upon a deed dated in 1887,
and was decided by the jury in favor of Mr..
Sharp. Its verdict awarded damages to the
amount of 5000, and established the line
according to the deed.
Robelin & Co, VS.. Edison Electric Light
Company. of Milford, was called up at noon
on Tuesday. The attorneys, Geo. V. Mas
sey, Anthony Higgins and W. F. Causey, an
nounced that they had compromised the
suit with Benjamin Neilds Esq, the prose-
cutting attorney, by confessing judgment for
their client for $4,000. This case is the re-
suit of failure on the part of contractors to
put the works in running order, an6 not pay
ing wire bills.
Warrington VS.. Farmers Bank was called
on Tuesday afternoon, and continued through
Wednesday. The cause of action appears to
be check of James Martins for $4,000,
which was signed by his mark, although he
could write, and which the bank paid after
his death. The administrator, Mr.. Warning
ton, brings suit to recover this money from
the bank; on the ground of undue Influence
over an aged and sick man to induce him to
give away the money to a son.in-law, Geo.A.
Rust of Dover. The case is evidently one
in WHICH the money is bone of contention
daughters Of the deceased, and from
evidence produced on Wednesday morning
he bank will be sustained by the jury.

WHAT the cause may be that actu-
ates the editor Of the State Sentinel to
attack the militia service of Delaware,
as he has done repeatedly during the
past three years. lie has never stated !;
but through him and others of like
makeup, a resolution was offered in
the House last week, whick stabs the
service to the heart. 1t will bea cold
day politically for its author and those
who should be so ignorant as to sup
port the attack when it shall be con-
summated. for there are five hundred
voters in the militia service of Della
ware who will see that such men do
not misrepresent them again on any
subject. The militia got ten thousand
dollars from the sale of rifles Given to
them by the national government two
years ago. and with it paid for camp
expenses in 1887. The service has not
actually cost the taxpayers half of the
money it expended in the last three
years, and should be maintained. The
following from the Morning Meas and
EUely Evening of last Friday, shows
the feeling of both parties in New Cas-
tie in regard to the militia:
It seems rather late in the day for ANYBODY
TO be putting distractions i'm the way of the
perfection of our State militia and consider
ing the improvement that the companies of
this State annually show, the burden of
proof rests with the critics who have COM
plants to make. The militia system of the
country is the great annex to the regular
army, and it would be bad mistake to do
anything to cripple it.-ESeyy Evening.
What is the matter with the Delaware
National Guard7 The bill just introduced
IN the Legislature by DR.. Richardson seems
to imply that It is in bad way, and needs
vast deal Of blood-letting
But our impression is different It seems
to us that the militia system Of this State has
been steadily improving for some time, and
that i fully deserves all the help extended |
to It by that State. Before any Of this help |
IS withdrawn, or the system itself impaired |
IN any way, clear ground Of complaint |
should be publicly stated and generally
argued. The presumption without doubt is 4
on the side Of the National Guard, and it |
should not be crippled for light or unknown |
reasons
So far as we are aware no reasons have
been given for a change, and until such rea-
sons are given, and their validity shown BY /
careful examination, we are clear that the /
Legislature would do well to let the matter |
Meas
