No one doubts that DR., Sage's Catarrh
Remedy really cures catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long standing, be-
cause the makers of it clinch their faith in it
with $500 guarantee, which isn't mere
newspaper guarantee but "on call'' in a
moment. That momeut is when you prove
that its makers can't cure you. The reason
for their faith is this: DR.. Sage's remedy
has proved itself the right cure for Hinety-
nine out of one hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds Dispeusary Med
ical Association can afford to take the risk
of you being the one huudredth.
The only question is-are you willing to
make the test, if the makers are willing to
take the risk1 Ifso, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist so cents and the trial be-
gins. Ifyon're wanting the $500 you'll get
something better-a curel

THE evening before Christmas in 1892,
Miss Eta Lynch, of Frederica, and Mr.
Edward Peters, ef Milford, were married

THE Sunday School of the Baptist
Church in Milford had their annual treat
on Monday night. It was quite largely
attended, and was manifestly enjoyed
by all. The decorations were very beau
tiful, felicitous and impressive and nat
urally drew forth expressions of pleasure
from those who were present Much
credit is due to the workers who made
this artistic picture.
The exercises consisted of excellent
singing by the choir, and friends. A solo
by Mss Sceva Webb, Jesus. Lover of
My Soul" Brief addresses, and the dis
of the gpod things from the
table, and of presents. Rev. Asbury Burke
who came with a gOodly company from
the city of Lincoln, led in the opening
prayer.
A very interesting feature of the oc-
casion was the presentation by the Super
Mr.. B. F. B. WoOdall, of "a
beautiful Bibles to as many members of
the school for promI Ititude in attendance.
This was the redemption of his promise
made some months ago to give to every
scholar who was prompt until Christmas,
a present which could be used and kept.
The gift reflects much honor upon the
donor; and must have been a
very pleasant surprise to every receiver.
We believe these gifts will be priced,
not only for their value as the Book of
books as the Word Of God, but also as the
index of the superintendent's desire to
give pleasure and real profit to the young.
Mr.. Joseph S. Bradley had kindly ill.,
scribed the name and occasion on the

Lately Mr. Booth has exhibited more
of social disposition than he ever did
in his more active days. He smokes con-
siderably, more in fact than his doctors
care to have him, and he enjoys having
callers, particularly if they are old
friends. He chats and talks in the
pleasantest manner, and, except in the
way of physical weakness, betrays few
signs of decline.
1t cannot be said that Edwin Booth
came from line of actors, though he
belongs to family of that profession.
His own father, Junius Brutus Booth,
was the first to take to the stage, and
he did so only after repeated failures III
almost every other calling. Edwin
Booth was born at Booth farm III
MARYLAND, November IL, 1888.
His full name is Edwin Thomas
