DONALD KENNEDY, OF RoXBURY. MASS,


Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession yer two hundred certificates
Of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in a week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you a get, and enough of it.
Dose, n tablespoonful in water at bed
time, and read the Label.

AN OLD MANS MIsFORTUNEs LEAD
HIM TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Charles Temple, aged about 20 years
committed suicide in SudlersVille about
six o'clock last Tuesday evening. The
deceased was of excellent family and
we'll educated, and % years ago was
doing a thriving business in Smyrna,
Del. From there he went to Camden,
Del, and met with misfortune, finally
becoming quite poor, when Mr.. James
Il. Sudler, half brother in Queen
Anne's, gave him home. After Mr..
Sudler's death he lived at Peters Cor
ner until about 10 days ago, when he
made his appearance in SudlersVille,
where he had long been favorably
known. He was in a sad plight-a
poor old man without money or home.
To the great credit of that town, the
citizens cared for him. They gave
him clothes and paid his board for a
month in advance in a comfortable
home. The old gentleman, however
seemed unhappy in thus taxing that
generous community, and put an end
to his existence in singular, though
effective manner. He went into a

have been better for him if bis you'll

OPPOSITION TO DEMANDS or NEW YORK
COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
CHEsTERTOWN, MD, Feb. 12.-The
action of the New York commission
men in demanding that the growers of
small fruits on the Peninsula shall ship
berries in gift crates, not to be returned
but to 20 with the fruit, has raised a
big stir in the berry.grOwing region
1t is thought that growers in Kent
county will cooperate with other sec.
tions of the Peninsula, in opposition to
the demand.
CRIsFIELD, MD, Feb. PA great
deal OF excitement prevails IN SOmer-
set on account of the combination of
commission merchants to do away
with the return of empty strawberry
crates. These crates cost As cents
apiece and are returned to shippers by
the railroad company at cents each
The growers of Somerset county arc
opposed to this measure and will
doubtless ship their berries to those
commission men who have not entered
the combine. Somerset county ships
more berries than any other county on
the Eastern Shore Crisfield and Law.

ket first, Crisield berries being a
week ahead of those from Marion,

Close Up the Stock.

Since our last issue considerable
stock has been taken in the proposed
new iron steamer, to ply between this
town and Philadelphia. 1t now re-
mains for so men to come forward aud
take one hundred dollars each to in-
sure sure placing of contract about March 1.
Ihere is no question of the desirability
OF increased transportation facilities,
ana 1t seems almost incredible that far
mers and others who have so much at
stake, should hesitate at all about in
vesting so small sum as above-men

the people Of this section long enough
for them to understand all the points
involved, and it will not be necessary
to refer to It any more. 1t is now q
question to be decided at once, and
on each one who reads this article rests
the decision as to whether or not we
shall have the new steamer already

What to Grow.

James K. Orrell, in responding to the
editor of the Wilmington Sunday lStG1
on practical peach culture, says:
l have had over 20 years experience
in growing small fruits and peaches
To nay observation there is no one crop
that will pay like peaches. Even
years like 1891, with big crop, many
growers complained that they did not
realize anything from their crops. 1t
was not nay experience. We saved
1900 baskets of fruit, that netted us
30 cents per basket But we fear that
day is past and never will return when
we shall have another $4,000. Most
assuredly the 'yellOws" have played
sad havoc with our trees, aud they
are surely and rapidly getting away
from us.
The day is at hand when we must be
quick to find what that something" is
that will be cure or a substitute for
the present trouble. | am strongly
impressed with dairying, and feel sure
that with good herd of cattle and lots
of good attention which will make the
cows at their best during the winter
there is money to be made. On the
tobacco question l have nothing to say
but would not be afraid to try a small
tillage.

But three names seem defnately settled
upon for Mr. Cleveland's cabinet Carlisle
Lamont and Gresham, the latter to be the
Premier. 1t is stated that the place was
offered to Messrs. Whitney, Bayard.
Phelps and our own Senator Gray, all of
whom declined, then it was offered to
Judge Gresham, who at first declined but
was at last prevailed upon to accept. Con-
sidering he was a strong candidate four
years ago for the Republican nomination
of the Presidency, and that his support of
Mr.. Cleveland was mainly on the tariff
question, surprise is expressed alike by both
Republicans and Democrats at his being
put at the head of the cabinet The Phila-
delp..,a Record, one of Mr. Cleveland S
most able supporters, makes the foliowin 9
comment:
The old order changeth, yielding place
to the new; the old parties are break.
ing up and dividing upon current issues on
new lines. The conservative portion ofthe
Republican Party are agreed with conser-
vative Democrats on the silver issue. The
elections held of late have also made il
manifest that very large number Ofinhu-
ential Republicans are prepared to endorse
the Democratic position on the tariff ques-
ton. Cast aside dead issues, dead resent
ments, and dead wood, there appears to b,
an opportunity to rally under the Demo.
cratic banner compact intelligent and
resolute body of voters who may be relied
upon to give the country once more safe
economical and constitutional administra-
ton.
The selection of Judge Gresham, fol
Secretary of State by President Cleveland
should the rumOr of such choice b,
verifed-wOuld be generally regarded as ,
proper and timely recognition of the break

For the Annual Conference.

Rev. Vaughn S. Collins, wrote and
published an earnest appeal in the
Peninsula Methodist, to the anniVer-
sary committee to do away with so
many anniversaries at the conference
to be held in Middletown the third
week in March, and have in their
places something like the revival con-
ferences" in the early part of the CEN
tury-sermons, meetings for the ben
eft of the people, instead of the eter-
nal round of business that keeps the
'men of affairs" so busy that they do
not have time for anything else, even
to say their prayers. So far he has
not struck a responsive chord where
desired, but the editor endorses the
movement as will be shown in the fol-
lowing quotation
A wise consolidation of anniVersa-
ries will allow an effective presenta.
tiOn of the general interests involved,
and leave an afternoon and evening
of each day for a sermon and revival
service.
Very vivid are the impressions made
upon the writer by the sermons
preached during the Smyrna Confer
ence of 1851, by such men as William
Barnes, George Barton, G. Il. Crooks,
John A. Roche and Pennell Coombe.
We were entertained in the pleasant
home of the late John Ii. Bewley,
Esq, and felt it to be great privilege
not only to attend the business sessions
but especially to listen 10 the blessed
Word, as these men of God preached
it, with the Holy Ghost and power
sent down from Heaven"
