WAITED FOR THE BABY.-The pa
pers Tuesday announced the marriage
of Mary Jane Holder, of Homecoming
and Abram Laird, of Eureka, New. Tn,
wedding is sequel to romantic story
About nineteen years ago Mr.. Laird
who was then Twenty-Five years Of
age, left his home in Homecoming to
seek his fortune in the West. At that
time Mary Jane was baby of two
years. Before going Laird danced her
on his knee and said that some time he
would come back for the girl, of whom
he was very fond.
Her family had forgotten all about
Laird and the child had grown to
womanhood with no recollection of her
old friend and admirer. The latter
meanwhile had anchored near Eureka,
where he became one of the owners OF
a large lead and silver mine. About
two weeks ago he determined to visit
his old home. Among the first upon
whom he called were the Holders.
Here he again saw Mary Jane, who
had become beautiful young woman.
Laird was cordially welcomed and pro-
ceeded at once to fail in love. The
courtship was short and vigorous.
Within three days he proposed to the
girl and Monday the pair were united
in marriage. That night they left for
their western home.

HOW ito Prerent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of Group
is common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by a peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by L. Stabler & Co.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many persons
with severe attack Of catarrh. which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages, and
in fact, are incapacitated for work of any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

The people OF Delaware are consider
ably acandsllzed by the number of
applications for divorce which have been
made TO the Legislature during this
present session Up to this tlme there
nave been about forty two cases The
testimony In the divorce cases Is heard
by committee and they make report,
upon which the Legislature acts. This
testimony is taken In secret, and thus
many scandals are kept from the public.
Il is objected that the courts would DO
the proper tribunal to try divorce Q SEES
But, on the other hand it Is urged that
the present method saves expense aud
avoids publicity As the main questions
Ia those cases are questions Of fact, the
