THE COMING WOMAN who goes
to the club while her husband tends
the baby, as well as the good old
fashioned woman who looks after her
home, will both at times get run down
in health. They will be troubled with
loss of appetite, headache, sleepless-
ness, fainting or dizzy spells. The
most wonderful remedy for these
women is Electric Bitters. Thousands
of sufferers from Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys rise up and call it blessed. 1t
is the medicine for women. Female
complaints and nervous troubles of all
kinds are soon relieved by the use of
Electric Bitters. Delicate women
should keep this remedy on hand to
build up the system. Only fifty cents
per bottle. For sale by G. Blakely.

A Strange Fowl Killed.

Capt. John Shippers, last Monday morning.
shot fowl, that is stranger in this section
1t is evidently sea bird of some kind and
was blown in by the easterly storm of Sunday
last. The fowl seems to be species OF she'll
drake, not quite as large as a goose. Its
plumes are variegated with rich and delicate
colors, and all who have seen it say they have
never seen anything like it before. 1t is GER
tainly an pathological curiosity. The duck
or goose, or as some have named it goose
gander," is now at the Spencer House, and
the genial clerk, Mr.. Harry White, will take
pleasure in showing it to any who may call
Harre de Gracc Republican.
The Baltimore SIN of Tuesday, says:
1.-THE bird was forwarded by Mr.. Walter T..
jackson to Mr.. f. e. Kirkwood for the Acad-
envy OF Sciences, Baltimore.
Mr. f. c. Kirkwood, who is an ornlthologist
and the secretary of the Maryland Game and
Fish Protective Association. admitted that he
did not know what the strange bird was. He
said he had looked through all his bird books
and failed to find anything corresponding tC
it, He said he had an opinion as to what II
was, but this specimen was very irregular, and
he admitted that it might be some other bird
entirely, and therefore, he did not wish tc
hazard any statemeutgn the question.
"Oae thing is certain" he said, "this bird
is something entirely new in Maryland.
will not say shat it is not to be classed among
the birds OF the eastern shore of Norti

He will have the birds skeleton careful,
pre.erved and pus together, and the skin wi
he stuffed. As so1n as this is finished Mr.
Kikwood will take the birds remains t
Washington and see if [ ucle Sans naturalist
or those of the universities can classify it.

Missionary Rally.

A missionary rally was held in the Southern
Methodist Church at Aberdeen on Sunday
evening, December 18th, which proved
to be most decided success. The building
was filled to overiowing by the members and
their friends. The exercises opened with the
singing of a chorus followed by prayer by the
pastor, Rev. j. F. Baggs. An elaborate pro-
gramme, consisting of recitations and dia-
logues, was well rendered by the children;
bright and sparkling music adding pleasing
variety. Much credit is due Mrs. o. e
Michael for the careful and thorough manner
in which she trained the children for the parts
which they so admirably took on the occasion.
An appropriate address was delivered by
the pastor, Rev. j. F. Baggs, and the church
choir under the leadership Of MIR. o. G.
Michael, with Miss Emma Cronin as organist,
rendered valuable assistance in the singing.
Miss Pearl Arthur acted as accompanist for
the children. The offertory amounted tC

An Excellent Showing.

The large increase in the gross business of
the Baltimore & Lehigh Railway at the Bel
Air station is deserving Of especial mention.
During the past twelve months ending Decem.
Der lst 1898, the gross business at this station
from all sources amounted 10 $23, 1921. 90, which
was an increase OF 81, SIS. - over the proceed
ing twelve months ending December LIST, 1897.
The increased business of this road has not
been confined to the Bel Air station alone but
has been apparent over its entire length. Dur
ing the months of September and October
1898, the gross earnings OF the Baltimore &
Lehigh Railway, operating from Cardiff to
Baltimore, were larger than they were ever
during any single month in the history of the
road including its operation BY the Mary
land Central Railroad and subsequent owners
when it was operated from York to Balti-
more, twice the distance. The business was
all handled without any apparent delay and
with less motive power than was used by the
Maryland Central. This is especially worthy Of
commenable mention and great compliment
TO the careful and efficient management OF
General Manager Moore and his subordi-
