A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected. !,
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his checks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. Ny
Wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

supplied with every means possible
for its relief. 1t is with pleasure

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed i'm
minent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way
to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.

The Cecil Fair.

The eighteenth annual exhibit
ton of the Cecil County Agricul-
tural Society commenced Tuesday.
Children accompanied by their
parents or school teachers were adj
mitted free the first day. The
catch-penny and gambling devices
were conspicuous by their absence.
In all the departments fine ex-
hibits are to be seen, particularly
IN the fine arts and floral depart
ment, the last named having the
finest exhibit for many years.
Mitchell Hall is the centre of attrac.
ton. The ladies' fancy and fine
arts department occupy half of this
building. The fruit, household
and fancy product departments are
also in this building, the latter dis
play being so large that the super
intendent found it almost impos-
sible to secure room for the exhibit,
The genealogical department, of
which q. Porter Lusby is superin-
tendent, contains some fine displays
of apples, pears, peaches, &c. The
display of machinery, carriages,
etc., is not so large this year, but
the fine quality of work shown
helps to atone for this.
Among the largest exhibitors of
stock are the following: Manly
Drennen, II. G. Mcdowell, R. G..
Anderson, R. II. Emery, E. Hol-
lingsworth, j. E. Gallagher, E. o.
Walton, Sam'l. J. Arbuckle, Sam'l.
Little, Mr.. Bennett and John Ward.
The feature of the fair which the
managers feel proud of, is the dis
play of horses, which surpasses any
heretofore seen. There was no
racing the first day, a farmers in
stitute being held.

ing is an extract: 81 did my hum
BILE share to pass the Dingley bill,
which has relieved the money ten
sion and brought prosperity to the

have had the honor to help to
uphold one of the grandest Ameri-
cans who ever lived-William M.
Mckinley"
We were not aware that Mr..
Baker possessed such fine vein of
humor. Who can read the above
and not acknowledge that our
member of congress is not like
Yorick, "a man of infinite jest"
We have heard good many vir-
tues ascribed to the Dingley bill,
but Mr.. Baker is the first to dis
cover that it has "relieved the
money tension" Or that Mr..
Mckinley is zone of the greatest
Americans that ever lived" Here
are couple of jokes perpetrated by
Mr.. Baker that challenge the wit
of Yorick the Kings jester.

Buffington-Scott Nuptials.
"Lincoln Summit" the home of
Jos. H. and Elizabeth r. Lincoln,
near Rising Sun, was the scene of
a very pretty wedding Thursday,
Sept. Sth. The contracting parties
were Walter Richard Burlington,
elde:t son of f. r, Burlington of
this town, and Sarah Anna Scott,
daughter of Mrs. Margaret W.
Scott. In the parlor where the
ceremony was conducted was sus-
pended a large floral bell of hydran-
geas, with pink rose clapper. The
rooms and hall were handsomely
decorated with maidenhair fern,
laceola, clematis and smilax and
presented a very pretty appearance.
A large gathering was present to
witness the ceremony, being largely
composed of relatives of the con-
tracing parties, the large circle of
friends being necessarily limited to
the room of the large dwelling
which was filled to overlooking.
Promptly at II noon the bridal
party descended the stairs and
seated themselves under the floral
bell. The marriage service, which
was by Friends ceremony, was
spoken by the groom and bride,
after which Albert L. Burlington,
a brother of the groom, read the
certificate. After brief silence
Mary II. Way, Of Oxford, rem
dered a beautiful prayer. The
newly welded couple then attached
their names to the certificate, as
did over a hundred of the guests,
after congratulations had been
rendered.
The bride was handsomely gown
ed in white Brussels net over Lans-
down, with veil, held in place with
diamond pin. She also carried a
large bouquet of BRIDES roses. The
bridesmaids, Misses Gertrude
Smith of Newtown, Lillian Pow
nall of Oh istiana, Florence Platt of
New York, and l.. Janette Reyn-
Odds of Rising Sun, wore gowns of
white organdie and carried bou.
quets of pink carnations tied with
pink ribbon. The groomsmen were
Messrs. Edmund Stratton of AL
toona, Pinkney j. Kirk of Fremont,
Albert Burlington and Charles Buff
fingtoI.
After the ceremony the guests
were served with a sumptuous col
lation. The bride was the recip-
lent of many handsome presents,
consisting of silverware, glassware,
linen, several checks, bric-a-
brac, etc.
Before the guests dispersed
Arthur Reynolds photographed the
bridal party and also the large
gathering.
About 4 O'Clock the bride and
groom attempted to give the COM
pany the slip but were discovered
and showered with rice before
starting for Perryville where they
took the train for a tour, leaving
the destination unknown to the
many curious friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burlington will be
cat home" after October LIST.
