THE PILL THAT WILL.
Cecil Farmers Club.

Mr.. E. L. Duyckinck entertained
the Farmers Club on Wednesday,
in true hospitable Cecil farmers
style. Several of the members of
the club were prevented from at
tending by sickness and other I'M
avoidable reasons. The Secretary
of the club, Fl. r. Torbert, being
on the salt, salt sea, Rev. D. E.
Shaw, pastor of West Nottingham
Presbyterian church, was selected
to take charge of paper and pencil
and act as secretary for the meet
ing.
The host had prepared a spirited
essay on county government and
county public affairs which ELECTED
a lively discussion among the mem
bers. The members discussed farm
matters with considerable ANNA
ton, but as is their wont failed to
see things in the same light, which
gave zest to the discussion.
Mr.. Duyckinck has a fine farm
which is kept in the best condition
by careful cultivation and good
management. The stock reflects
the same care which the farm does
culture. His Berkshire hogs and
Southdown sheep are especially
fine. Mr.. Duyckinck appears to
make a speciality of swine, having
of all ages about forty head.
There is a full equipment of farm
machinery, clean and carefully
stored away under roof when not in
use. If economical management,
clean and careful culture, and lib
eral manuring is the road to sue
cessful farming Mr.. Duyckinck
ought to "get there" but he is one
of the million witnesses who testify
that the farmer does not reap his
reward.
Col. Noyes in the course of dis
cussion insisted that the famine in
our goldbug money is the cause,
and the first remedial step is the
free coinage of silver, and farmers
generally are coming to that opinion.
The next meeting of the club will
be held at the Presidents place,
Mr.. John. P. Wilson's, on Wednes-
day, October Dist.
When the company was sum-
moned to the dining hall, the
hostess proved that the domestic
relations of the farm were kept
full abreast of the improved culture
by the excellent dinner which was
served her guests.
Yes, the American farmer ought
to Stand at the head of American
affairs, and be the representative of
Liberty enlightening the world, in
place of that parasite, Wall street:
which is now debating the policy
of the new world and arragating to
itself the right of being the mouth
piece of the great Republic, telling
the Old World that government by
the people is failure, and using
every effort to firmly establish class
government in the New. Let farm
ers wake up, arise nor be forever
fallen.

PORT Deposit. Md. Sent. 18th. 1896.

Mr.. EDIToR-I wish you would contradict by
publishing this little communication, the report
ofthe affair of last Tuesday night, in which Miss
Emma McCay's ian estmable young lady living
near this town. name was coupled with mine.
The report also said that young man by the
name of Harry Shure was also there He was not
at the young lady's home. And the report further
states that 1, through jealousy undertook to kill
myself. 1 wish to contradict in every particular
any and everything so reported, and state that
the shooting of myself, causing nothing but
slight flesh wound was altogether an accident,
and had no intention whatever of committing
suicide, and regret very much that the affair
should be published in the garbled manner it
appears, thereby creating sensation and drag
ging Miss Emma McCay's name as well as my
cousin Harry shure into print without the least
cause whatever.
l am aware of the fact that everything occurring
is readily forwarded to the daily papers in order
to feed the sensational with subject for discus
sion and gossip and it is very notifying to me
and much more so to the parties whose names are
coupled with mine, and particularly as to the
name of the young lady.
Believing that it is therefore my duty to eX-
plain the matter and reflte as much as possible
any intamy that may fall upon the young lady,
as might be reflected in the report sent out, deny
all the assertions made in said reports.
am respectfully yours,
GEORGE NJ. SHURE.

go and vote the goldbug ticket this fall

1t is not unusual for druggists to recon-
mend Chamberlain Cough Remedy to
their customers. Many of them have
used it themselves, or in their families
and know from personal experience its
great value in the treatment of coughs,
colds and Group. They know too that
their customers are their best friends and
naturally wish to give them the most re-
liable medicine they have for those all
ments. Messrs. Daugherty Bros. prom
