Rocky Springs.

Oct. II, 1897.
The address of the Hon. Vandiver.
as 1t appeared in the CITIZEN of last
week, was very able and eloquent
one. 1t is an earnest appeal to the vo.
ters OF the State. Every one should
read it.
Mr.. Roger NJ. Neighbors, of Yellow
Springs, shipped fine lot of peaches
this fall.
The first meeting of the Rocky
Springs Young Peoples Society of
Christian Eudeavor was held at the
chapel last Tuesday evening. The
topic was Enduring Hardships for
Christ's Sake" Hebrews 18th chapter
and 18th verse, was discussed by the
Rev. Barshinger. The attendance was
good.
Messrs. John E. Biser, G. A. Reeder,
and M. l.. Kline returned home last
Saturday, from Germantown, Carroll
County, where they were attending
the annual meeting of the Eldership
of the Church of God. The Rev "A.
Phllhower. the present minister in

MRS. ATKINSON FREE.
Disagreement of the Jury IN the
Forgery Trial.

The jury i'm Mrs. Atkinson's case
Wednesday failed to agree and was
dismissed. IL stood seven for convic-
ton and five for acquittal
The trial of Mrs. Atkinson, who is
the wife of the Governor of West Vir-
GINA. for the forgery of the name of
her late husband, the Hon. George ID.
Camden, has been in progress for some
time at Wheeling, and the proceedings
have been eagerly watched all over the
country. More than any other reason
for the general interest is the fact that
her husband as Governor is reported to
have said that i'll the event of her con-
viction he would certainly paidon her.
The opinions of people as to the virtue
of the Governors possible action vary
widely, some contending that he would
be justified in pard0nng his wife,
whilst others say his duty to the State
aud the law would compel him to con-
slider her only as he would an ordinary
criminal and dojustice as he would un-
der ordinary circumstances. 1t is not
probable that he will have the pardon
ing power in this case unless the plain
tiff in the suit secures another trial
Mr.. Robert Ramsburg, of Frederick,
and his wife, who was Miss Camden,
daughter of Mrs. Atkinson's former
husband, are witnesses in the case aud
directly interested in the outcome.
Mrs. Ramsburg was one of the heirs of
Hon. George Camden and it was in the
disposition of the estate that she and

Something to Depend on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
of DIR. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with La Grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from the first dose, and half dozen
dollar hotties cured her sound and
well. DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
It. Free trial bottles at A. L. Peare's

Sousa and His Band to Appear in
Frederick.

John Philip Sousa, 1.-THE March
King" premier bandmasler of the
world, most versatile and popular of
modern composers, aud most generous
of conductors, will give single concert
here at City Opera House, on Tuesday
afternoon, Oct. 10Th. This is an an
nouncement that will bring pleasure
able anticipation to every lover of mu-
sic, for Sousa is the accepted embodi-
ment of all the great public loves in
music. He is closer to the heart of the
people than any other composer or
conductor of the day, and with a
thorough appreciation of their tastes
he gives them what they want. Sousa
is as much master of the art of pro-
gram making as he is of march compo-
sition. His concerts are models of
good form and ts:stc 10 81 s respect,
and this is one reason why the coming
of Sousa is an event in the musical sea-
son that arouses great enthusiasm. He
draws his admirers from all classes in
whom the love of music finds place.
He is admired by the classical mind
because he interprets in mastery
way and with fidelity of purpose. 70
the mind of casual music lover,
Sousa is an object of regard because he
appeals to the general intelligence and
popular taste. He is peerless because
he plays the music of the people and
his own magnetic marches with dash
and swing that carry all before them.
No need for any one to introduce Sousa.
Once seen he is never forgotten; his
pictures are excellent likenesses, and
he bears the characteristics of his mu-
sic in his person; his motions are in
march time, his bearing is that of q
man under arms. He is himself conf
dent of his power, and by personal
magnetism infuses into his musicians
his idea, his spirit and his conception
of music. They nave confidence in
him which an audience quickly learns
to share, ana yields to the full enjoy
ment of the hour under the dominion
of Sousa.
This is the eleventh regular tour of
Sousa and His Band aud the present
series of concerts bid fair to be the
most notable in all the brilliant history
of this famous organization. Always
happy in the selection of the soloists
to accompany his band Mr.. Sousa
deems himself particularly fortunate
to introduce this season two young ar
fists, Reese Davies, soprano, and Miss
Jennie Hoyle, violinsts, whose COM
handing talents entltle them to all
honors in their profession. Mr. Ar
thur Pryor, the worlds greatest from
bone player, will also assist as solost
on this tour.

SIrnnk With q Pick.

John Cue, an elderly man, was as
saulted and nearly killed at his home
on give and Half street, this city,
by young colored man named Lewis
Maddox. The trouble grew out of in
formation given by Cue TO the police
about crap game in which Maddox
was involved. He was arrested but
released on his promise to appear next
day at hearing. Shortly after he
went to Cues house, called him out
in the yard and suddenly bit him
over the head with a pick. The in
iured man is about GA years of age and
his injuries are very serious. Maddox
has disappeared, but the officers are
looking for him. He bears bad repu
tation in this city.

Old people who require medicine to

find the true remedy in Electric Bit
tiers. This medicine does not stimulate
and contains no whiskey nor other in
toxicant, but acts as tonic and alter
alive. 1t acts mildly on the stomach
and bowels, adding strength and CIV
ing tone to the organs, thereby aiding
nature in the performance of the func-
tons. Electric Bitters is an excellent
appetizer and aids digestion. Old peo-
pie find it just exactly what they need:

Staple Products That Pay.

A great many farmers are selling
their apples to foreign buyers. So
great is the demand that large orders
have been given for barrels to ship
them in. Good apples are bringing
about $l.75 aud $500 per barrel. Po-
tatoes are up around the dollar mark
these days, and lucky is the farmer
who planted largely and reaped well.
There is scarcity in the potato mar
ket ana this means ready market for
all we can raise. Some farmers we
have heard complaining that they did
not raise more wheat. That is very
true if one was always certain about
the high prices, but there is always
a market and fair aud certain profits in
potatoes, apples, peaches and other
fruits, corn aud clover and timothy
hay The latter, when it is of the best
quality. brings from $500 to $1,000 in
the city and as high as $ll00 and
$1,000 in Frederick. We saw several
fine loads this week. We think it
would pay our farmers to make con-
tract at good prices with large firms
in the ely aud then load and snip
their hay. Some do this now and re-
alize well from it. 1t is not wise for a
farmer to depend too much upon one
crop, especially one so liable to fluctua-
tiOns as wheat. If you hit it right
there is money in it, but then that is
seldom these days.
