Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headachei
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation OF

TO THE GOLDEN GATE.
Personally Conducted Tours via
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.

Undoubtedly California offers
snoro genuine attractions to the
pleasure travelling public than any
other part of the American con-
tinent. The fame of it's climate is
world wide, and it is sought even
by Europeans, who find it more
charming than their own southern
slopes. To Americans it's worth is
too well known to necessitate de-
scription of the many advantages
to be enjoyed.
Personally conducted tours via
Pennsylvania Railroad will leave
New York and Philadelphia Feb.
II and March IL, 1896. In addi-
ton to the many other points of
interest visited on the first tour a
stop will be made at New Orleans
for the Mardi-Gras festivities, and
four weeks will be allowed in Cali
fornia. On the second tour four
and one half weeks will be allowed
in California. An addition to the
magnificent train heretofore used
tor these tours is a through Pull
man compartment car.
The car, which will be the very
best that the Pullman Company can
supply, will contain nine inclosed
compartments-two drawing rooms
and seven state rooms-and will be
attached to the special train at
Jersey City and run through to
San Diego, CAL, on the first tour,
and San Francisco ON the second.
This will be the first car of its
kind to be run ON a transcontinen-
tai train, and that it will be
thoroughly appreciated by particip-
ants in the tours is evidenced by
the fact already several of the COM
partments have been reserved.
Applications foS space or timer
aries giving all information should
be made to Tourist Agent, 1876

County Commissioners.

The Board of County Commits
sioners was in session on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week.
AT the Tuesday session number
of bills were examined and passed
and ordered to be paid.
On Wednesday the Board con-
sidered a number of petitions for
out pensions, several of which were
granted.
On Thursday on motion of Com
missioner Steele, Mr.. John W.
Harriott, of Chesapeake City, was
appointed Trustee of the Poor and
Insane to fill the vacancy caused by
the retirement of DR.. E. M. Craw-
ford of Cecilton whose term expired
January 1 last.
The Board inspected the county
bridge just completed over the Big
Elk creek, on the new public road
leading from the Blue Ball road to
the Nottingham road, in the Third
district, the "Lincoln" farm owned
by B. Beste, and formally accepted
it on Thursday, from the builders
the Groton Bridge Company, of
Groton, N. Y. The contract price
was $2975.
The Commissioners will meet for
correction of the assessment list on
February Is, 80, % and 26. The
next regular meeting of the Board
will be on February II and II.

Town Improvement.

There is much excitement in
Elkton over a project to sewer the
town and put down asphalt pave
ment. Some of the "enterprising''(?)
spirits are keen for bonding the
town for $4,000, but a number
of the quiet old long heads say no.
DR.. Ellis seems to be one of the most
formidableopponents. Hereminded
the meeting that was considering
the subject that the debt on the
town-or what is the same thing,
their electric light and water works
caused a heavy outlay equal to the
interest ON a considerable debt and
that sewerage system without
flushing was about as dangerous il
health as any device well could be,
and to provide means for flushing
the pipes meant a very consider
able additional expense to the
"system of sewers" Also that a
crushed stone street would serve
Elkton probably as well as asphalt;
and the suburb side walks might
be made of gravel in place of brick
On the whole no better plan could
be devised to reduce the value Of
property and decrease population
of country town than by piline
on borough tax.
