Thousands Will Be On Hand.
SPLENDID RACING
Fine Stock. Household Depart
ment Superb.

Well, the big fair will soon open
up and then look out for busy times
in old Frederick. Everybody is talk
ing of their cousins aud their aunts
who will be here to make things live
ly aud enjoy all the fun we are to
have at the fair and all through the
county. Thousands will be in atten-
dance from all over the country; the
racing will be the finest we have ever
had. All the members of the well
known hunting clubs of Maryland, the
District of Columbia and Virginia will
show what they know about jumping
and lively racing. Our stock will be
in first-class condition and our farmers
will let the world see what they can
do in raising horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs. Then, after you see our great
household department, you will realize
what first-class housekeepers we have
in old Frederick. Messrs. Hargett and
Keefer and the board of directors pre-
dict one of the finest fairs we have ev-
er held. Our farmers must not relax
their efforts, however, for all can help
to continue the great success which has
always attended the big fair in this
county. Our household department
has always been greatly admired. The
entries closed last week for racing with
a number of horses.

This report was received too late for
publication last week:
Mrs. Cover is improving very much
since her return from Baltimore.
A very severe storm passed over this
section on Saturday evening last. The
rain dI scended in torrents. 1t was
very much needed. as the springs and
wells are nearly dry.
Mr.. James Crum is adding much to
the appearance of his house 10y having
it reprinted.
An inmate from Montevue escaped
Tuesday of last week and took the
train for Woodsboro'. and from there
walked through here. Nothing more
has been heard from him.
A very sad accident occurred in our
little village last Saturday afternoon
was loading wheat from his granary
in his warehouse, having 200 bushels
of wheat in it, and little Harvey Fo-
gle jestiugly told his playmates that
he was going to shovel wheat. None
of his playmates accompanied him and
none of the men knew he was there
until the wheat stopped running. Mr..
Birely at once commenced to examine
the spout from which the wheat was
pouring in and at first thought that it
was a sack of wheat, but upon investi-
eating further found that it was the
child. All assisted in trying to save
him but in vain. Doctors were sum-
moned but life was extinct. Inter-
ment was in the graveyard adjoining
the church, at Mt. Zion, about O'clock,
on Sunday afternoon. He was the
little son of Thomas FOgle and was
aged 9 years, 9 months and l day.
Rev. r. Patterson, of Woodsboro', Off
ciated, assisted by Elder J. r. Fox, of
this place. Being member of the
Sunday School the school paid trib-
ute of respect to his memory by throw
ing roses in his grave. The sorrowing
relations have the heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community in their aff1ic-
ton.

Years ago my mother was very Ill
and was cured by your Vegetable Com
pound; now l need the same help and
believe yours is the only remedy.
"My mother told me if was ever ill
to write to Mrs. Pinkham, as her adj
vice and remedies were all but infal-
Hble."
All this indicates the reliability Of
the remedies which bear Mrs. Pink
hams name, and the advice which can
be received by addressing her estab-
lishment at Lynn, Mass We have
pleasure in publishing Mrs. Oberg's
letter, as follows:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: 1 wish to
write and inform you of the good re-
suits 1 have obtained from the use of
your valuable remedy. hardly know
how to describe my feelings before
taking the Compound. have always
been sufferer. from headache since /
was child. My back began to trouble
me about a year ago, after my child
was born. The pain extended down
my hips and thighs. Twas utterly un-
able to walk across the floor. At times
1 even had to creep on my hands and
knees. Sometimes I would have to be
lifted from my seat. My family doctor
prescribed for me, but the medicine
gave me no relief. My husband got
me bottle of your remedy, and after
a short treatment with the medicine /
could do all my housework. 1 have
been free from headache and entirely
cured of backache since used the
Compound. 1 advise my daughters
and every one to use Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, being fully
satisfied that it is wonderful medi-
cine. l shall never be without it.

When any part of the body isn't do
ing the work that nature intended 1t
to do, it puts the whole system out of
tune-out of harmony. Sickness in one
part of the body is likely to run into
ali parts of the body. When children
stand a row of bricks on end, they
knock the whole row down by upset
ting one brick. That is exactly what
happens to the health when the bowels
fail to perform their proper function.
Constipation makes trouble all along
the line-puts the liver out of order, is
bad for the kidneys-bad for the stom-
ach. It holds in the body poisonous
matter, and because it cannot go any
Mace else, it gets into the blood. The
blood carries it all over the system:
That makes sluggishness, lassitude, bad
breath and foul taste in the mouth,
fills the stomach with gas and causes
windy belching, stops digestion in the
stomach, causes sour stomach, heart
nurn and headache. You can avoid all
such trouble, for DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets cure constipation and its attend-
ant evils.

the "glory of a good name"
1t takes years to make a good name,
but when one generation educates a
following one to revere a name which
has been endeared to them, then the
genuineness of that good name is un-
questioned.
Such is the standing of the name
Lydia E. Pinkham among the women
of America to-day, after years of con-
stancy, faithful and reliable service, her
whole life having been spent for the
benefit of others, and that her name
will be revered by one generation after
another is already being demonstrated.
The following letter from a Woburn,
Mass, woman illustrates this fact,
having been benefited by Mrs. Pink
hams advice and remedies herself,
recommends the same treatment to her
daughters; and on Mrs. Pinkham's
files in Lynn, Mass, will be found hun
dreds of letters from women using ex-
pressions similar to the following:

TO THE FAIR GROUNDS.
CARS WILL BE RUNNING BY
THE OPENING DAY.
Mlddletown End Completed and
Cars are Running There Daily.
The Entire Route When
Completed Will be Over
Eight Miles.

The large force of hands engaged in
laying the tracks of the extension of
the Frederick and Middletown Elec-
trio Railway to the Fair Grounds,
nearly one mile from town, have ac-
cOmplished a wonderful amount of
employed. For two or three days the
entire efforts of the force was directed
toward grading and digging up the
hard macadam on East Patrick street
to the end of town. Very slow prog
ress was made at first, but by dint of
perseverance and relays of hands, the
road bed was prepared and the tracks
laid as far as the bridge up to Wednes-
day afternoon. Carpenters are erect
ing the trestle work over Carroll Creek,
on the right hand side of the stone
bridge, add the heavy supports are by
this time spanned by the ties and rails.
1t will be substantial structure and it
is put up with the idea of Withstand
ing the high waters in rainy seasons.
1t is protected by the bridge itself from
the rush of waters and only the force
of powerful current could wash it
away.
The trolley poles are being put in po-
sition, ready for stringing the wires.
A switch is being put in on the
other side of Seager's blacksmith shop.
It is the intention of the company to
run two cars on a schedule of ten min
utes each. This will, it is thought,
amply accommodate the crowd. If
others will be made. One Car will be
used to look after the interest of the
valley, as business from that section is
expected to be exceptionally large dur
ing the fair.
President Smith, in conversation
with a CITIZEN representative, said
that he felt no uneasiness about not
having the extension finished in good
time The main work will be done
Sunday or Monday at the latest, and if
necessary, extra time will be put in.
There will be no trouble about hand
ling the crowds and there are several
expedients in reserve if the present
equipment is inadequate. The cars
will be ready when they need them,
and the one recently reconstructed is
ready now. He said he hoped the road
in all its details would be appreciated
by the people of Frederick City and
County, and if properly managed and
looked after would be the making of
splendid opportunities. Next year the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will Co
operate with the company in making
Braddock Heights a popular excur-
sion resort. Mr.. Smith expressed him
self as well pleased with the support
the people have give the road. and next
predicted grert results.
The trolley car is making regular
trips to Middletown and everything
is working smoothly. Last Saturday
night, after the Republican meeting, a
special car took a crowd of valley peo-
pie home. This is one of the advan-
tages of the road that is bound to be
appreciated.
The two new cars are stored in the
car shed on Carroll street ready for use
when called upon. The new combina-
ton car awaits its trucks, which are ex-
pected by Saturday.

Ancient and Honorables in Balti-
more.

The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company of Boston, have taken
Baltimore by storm and nothing is too
good for them. They have been hospit-
ably received, feasted and otherwise
entertained and are delighted with
Baltimore. Their appearance is calcu-
lated to bewilder people who have been
used to the quiet costume of the State
Militia, but they become their gaudy
attire well and are a noble set of men.
When they leave the State they will
know something of Maryland's bOspi-
tality. This company has been received
by the crowned heads of Europe, and
much honor done them. They have
been in existence since colonial times
and are consequently one of the most
notable military organization in this
country, if not in the world.
