Messrs. Evans & Gartner have made
arrangements to purchase all of the
tobacco, pole cured, raised by small
farmers around FIT. Meade. They have
associated with them Mr.. Curry, man

ingly: This is an enterprise which
will be of inestimable benefit to all
small growers who are not familiar
with the curing process and are not
prepared to hire experts. This enter
prise removes the greatest obstacle in
the way of tobacco culture. AS the
sale of the tobacco is now an assured
fact every farmer should arrange to
plant as much tobacco this fall as he
can cultivate There should be 1000
acres planted in this vicinity.-Ft.

Sometimes the most careful women
are the most careless. Many a woman
bundles herself up to keep out of sick
ness-when she is neglecting the very
worst sickness that can come to wo-
man. She allows a slight disorder to
become worse, to slowly sap her vital
ity. The little pain and the other
slight indications of trouble seem to
her unimportant. She goes on, with
increasing suffering, until life itself
becomes drag. Nervousness, "sink-
ing spells,'' digestive disturbances,
and fifty other complications may
arise from the arrangement of the or
gans distinctly feminine. Over thirty
years ago, the need for reliable rem
edy for so-called female complaints
was recognized by DR.. r. V. Pierce,
then, as now, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Worlds Dispensary and
Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, n. Y. He
prepared DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, the most wonderfully effec-
tive remedy that has ever been used
for such maladies. Send 81 cents in

The Cunning Season.

The shooting of ortolan on the PatuXcnt
are reported to be unusually fat and
abundant The marshes are frequented
not only by our local sportsmcn. but also
by many from a distance.
There is said to be, altogether much en-
coura cement over the prospect for the
good season. Rabbits, squirrels and all
other game that is known to gunners in
this section are reported to be more plen-
tlful than ever known before.
From all reports, the coming season will
be the best that has fallen to the lot OF
Maryland sportsmcn for Il long time, and
they will not be slow to take advantage OF
it, and make hay while the sun shines.
Partridges are of fine size, unusually
abundant, and will, of course, be the most
sought after by all hunters.
The partridge season, under the Mary
land state game laws, opens on November
1st and closes December 24th. There has
been great deal of talk in shooting cir
cics about the prospects for lengthenine
the season, and it is possible move in this
direction will be made next year
Wild duck shooting this fall is filled
with bright promises, and great things are
conntcd upon, from the signs of the com
ing of the ducks already seen. The Mary
land state game law allows the shootine
of ducks from November 1st to March 31st
and prohibits shooting at any other time
absolutely. except from the shore.
1t is lawful to shoot teal, mallarCls, black
and baldpate, all known as marsh ducks
from one hour before sunrise until one
hour after sunset, every day from August
10Th to October lst, on the waters of the
Chesapeake Bay.
Rabbit shooting in Maryland is allowed

Mystery of the Woods.

Sunday morning the remains of
white person, supposed by some to be of
woman, were found by Thomas Keys,
fifteen years old, in Kellogg,s woods,
three quarters of mile east of Laurel.
The remains had evidently been lying in
the woods for a month, as scarcely more
than bones and skin were left. The skull
was detached and was free from flesh or
hair No clothing of any description was
found near the skeleton. The only arii
Gle of clothing found in the woods any
where was ragged pair of old trousers.
Justice John w. Jackson, botanst, of
Laurel, testified that on August he
passed through the Kellogg woods look
ing for plant specimens. He saw man
just about the same place were the corpse
was found. The man was naked, but, as
it was raining, he passed on, believing the
stranger was tramp who was taking Il
bath. When he heard of the finding of
the skeleton he recalled the occurance
and described the location where the le-
mains were found before his informant
had time to tell him.
DR.. HUNT examined the skeleton and
said that, judging from the shape of the
bones, he believed them to he those of Il
woman.
The jury was composed of l.. y. Robcy,
foreman; William f. Scott William Kaiser

There is still considerable mystery sur
roun ding the finding of the skeleton. The
remains were buried Sunday in the Lau-
rel Cemetery, but were taken up Monday
and thoroughly examined. There is now
no question but that the skeleton was
that of white woman. There is also

murdered. She seemed To have bCcl

The Mark Lane Express, of London, re-
viewing the crop situation, says:
The weather has been adverse to the
completion of the harvest, and the guam
titv of grain out is considerable.
The French Wheat crop Is estimated
at 81 ,ooO, 900 quarters 10y the chief writers
of the Paris press. Correspondents of
English business firms state that the crop
will amount to from 3, ,00O, 900 10 81, 600, 900
quarters.
The AustriaHungarian crop is stated
to be 1000, 900 quarters. If this is true it
adds greatly to the gravity Oft the situation.
The American crop is rcckoncd by
careful Judges to be Is. 5On, 900 quarters, or
l ,O0O, 0O0 quarters Improvement, to offset
Il decline of 5000, 600 quarters in Russia
and G.OOO. 900 TO 10000. 900 quarters in
France.
"AIl the figures point therefore to a de-
