chased Ely's Cream Balm and am using it
freely, it is working a cure surely. I have
advised several friends to use it, and with
happy results in every case. 1t is the

SING. SWEET RED LIPS.
BY W. W. LONG.

Sing, sweet rest lips. one song to me,
out here in the SUMS soft light;
For the Summers last day is dying.
And soon 1t will be night;
Tomorrow the suns red splendor
Will shine in autumn's light.
Sing, sweet red lips, Summers last song,
Out on the air let 1t swell.
While red leaves fall from the old oak trees
On the lying grass in the dell
Sing red lips, your tenderest song.
Its notes for aye in my heart will dwell.
Sing, sweet red lips, to me one song,
Soft as winds from the southern sea.
For the Summer dies in shadow tonight,
And would have one song from thee,
Ere this last sun fades on the Summers brow
This Summer SO sweet to thee and me.

Mr.. Perkins was splendid specimen of
physical manhood, and when early IN
the past summer, 1t was reported that
his health was impaired, his friends
could scarcely credit it, his stalwart
frame, and seemingly vigorous condition
indicating perfect health. Although in
dustriously attentive to his business, his
friends rarely missing his familiar face
from his store on Main street, yet he was
forced i'll the summer 20 seek relief for
what was supposed to be lumbago, at
Asbury Park. He went there alone, but

shore, that Mrs. Perkins was summoned
to his aid, aud who after remaining with
him short time returned with him to
his home. Since that time, although at
intervals able to attend to his daily busl.

failing, having been for the past two
months cons tantIy confined to his room,
until the summons came on Thursday.

Using columns, the annual meeting of
the Stockh olders of the Cecil County

Office in Odd Fellows Hall, on Tuesday
next 10Th inst, at II o'clock, a. M, for
the election of board of managers and

may be brought before it.
The present board of managers at their
last meeting in July decided that it was
inexpedient to attempt TO hold fair tn is
fall, but did not decide that none would
be held in the future. Since that time
strong sentiment has developed in the
county for the continuance OF the fairs,
and from all directions comes the report,
that with proper effort, the financial
matters of the association may be put in
such shape, as that the fairs may con.
