Cecllton's Liquor Question.


The town of Cecilton is somewhat
stirred up over the announcement
that liquor saloon was about to be
opened there. The citizens who are
opposed to having liquor sold in
their midst, were resting in fancied
security by reason of the clause in
the town charter which gives them
the right to vote upon the liquor
selling question at each town election,
and the fact that at every election
the majority has been against it. In
the face of this. however, it is report.
ed that the Lofiand property has been
rented and that hotel will be short.
ly opened there. The license law
for the county has the usual clause
repeating all former acts conflicting
with it, and it is claimed this applies
to Cecilton and nullifies the provision
of the charter. We understand that
a petition has been circulated and
numerously signed addressed to
Judge Stump requesting that he issue
an order restraining the Clerk from
issuing license.-Democrat.
OF course the saloon overrides
every other right, human and divine
and 2200 voters of Cecil county
solemnly recorded the fact that they
approve of this kind OF government.
Hasn't the saloon contributed up
wards of 81 900 to the tax fund? Get
money! get it honestly it you can
but get money

Scarlatina-Scarlet Fever.

Editors Press:-Permit me through
your columns to correct an error quite
common in this neighborhood. 1 hear
it frequently stated that Scarlatina is
only mild form of scarlet fever. Now
that is entirely wrong. Scarlatina is
scarlet fever, nothing more and nothing
less. 1t is simply the Latin name for
that disease; hence when it is used by
some physicians and others to designate
only mild form ofscarlet fever, il is in
correctly used. All cases ofscarlet fever,
whether mild or malignant, are scar
latina, and all cases of scarlatina are
scarlet fever. By applying scarlatina to
mild cases only people are led into error,
and what is worse, into carelessness,
which leads to the spread of the disease.
The varieties of scarlet fever are:
Scarlatina Simplex. Scarlatina Anginosa
and Scarlatina Maligna. So we see the
most malignant form may be taken
from the mildest case, and vice versa
Hence the necessity for great care in al |
forms of this disease. Those afflicted
with it should not mingle with others
until their complete recovery.
Fortunately for Oxford the late cpl
demic of scarlet fever was of mild
type, although there were some bad
cases. There were also cases of Roseola
or Erythema at the same time, which
lead, no doubt, to confusion and con-
founding of the terms by the public.
J.F. r., M. D.
IA physician furnishes the above to
the Oxford Press. How about that "red
skin, sore throat and slight fever
disease of yours, friend?]

Conversions Laying at Port Penn.

NOAAoI-ctOA0 AdylHS at GOEG E0uu
Sunday. July 18th, dawned bright and
clear. Though. we could have held all o.
our exercises out of doors, yet through the
kindness of our Presbyterian friends, We
were permitted 10 house our congregations
at the morning and evening services in their
beautiful and well-appointed brick church
Promptly at 1870 the writer announced the
594 hymn, which was nicely rendered, when
Rev. j. s. Willis offered an eloquent and
stirring prayer. The lessons and second
hymn were read and announced by Rey
Isaac Jewell. Bro. Jewell followed the pre-.
| liminaries in beautiful and instructive SER
mon. The morning service was closed with
All hail the power of Jesus name,n and
the people separated TO meet at 2.30 p. m.
in front of the NJ. E. Church.
AT the appointed hour fully three hun
dred people had found seats in front Of
stand erected directly in front of the en-
trance TO the old church, which stood on
blocks above the foundation some Is inches.
Rev. Jonathan s. Willis, of Milford, the
orator ofthe afternoon, Rev. Isaac Jewell,
of Epworth church, Wilmington, Rev. T.
o. Ayers, x-Presiding Elder Of Salisbury
District and the writer were seated on the
stage, directly in front OF which was choir
that rendered the hymns suggested in the
ritual service IN a very appropriate manner.
The ritual service was divided up into four
parts, each minister taking part, after which
Mr.. Willis made an address on "Methodism
and its peculiarities" An alphabetical roll
call of the members of Port Penn Church
for 1891 was read by the pastor, after which
Revs. Jewell and Ayers spoke in happy
strain. The cornerstone, handsome gran
lite block, given by MeClenahan & Co., of
Port Deposit, Md, weighing 800 lbs, was
then laid by the writer assisted by the con-
tractor and stone mason Messrs. Mccoy and
Shunder. The followinging articles we're
placed within the cornerstone, in copper
box, over which there was placed an iron
plate. then layer of cement and large
marble slab: A copy of the Christian Ad-
vocate, a copy ofthe Peninsula Methodist,
Bible that B. R. McKinsey, father of the
writer, carried whilst enlisted in the SER
vices of his country, Methodist Hymnal
and Church Discipline, history of Port
Penn Methodism, list of the present
officiary and membership of the Church,
and copy Of the Roll-Call to which allu-
sion has already been made.
In the evening Rev. Mr.. Willis preach
ed in the Presbyterian church to crowded
house. a sermon which for beauty and force
possibly could not be surpassed. The col
lection for the day amounted to Sal 60.
This with sums previously raised in cash
and pledges amounts TO about $500. The
improvements that we contemplate will
occasion an expense of 500 or $500. We
propose pushing this enterprise through,
aided by the smiles of God that may inspire
MS with hope and zeal and by contributions
by friends who may feel that God has but
made them his stewards.

Friday.-An Elkton man got

the most emphatic exhibitions of the
beauties of high license yet seen in
the town. A white woman in car
rage driving down Main street, so
drunk she could with difficulty keep
in her carriage, by her side her hus-
band, in some degree sobered by her
condition.
At the same time another woman
badly under the influence tried to get
into her carriage on Main street.
Failing in her first attempt she fell
backwards landing on the ground.
Rallying again, she managed to climb
in. Taking from her pocket flask,
she placed it in the back of the car

appeared on the scene, taking the
flask, she looked around to see.

throwing her head back she took a
good long pull at the gin. and scrambl

MI. John Keown, the worthy
postmaster at Keown, Allegheny
county, Penn, says: "Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy sells better
than any other" The reason Of
this is because it can always be
depended upon. Let any one
troubled with a severe cold give it
a trial and they will find the first
dose will relieve tho lungs and
make breathing easier, and that its
continued use will free the system
OF all symptoms Of the cold. The
promptness and certainty of this
remedy in the relief and cure Of
colds, has won for it many sincere
friends and made it very popular.
