How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are
affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. Electric
Bitters is a good alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, purities the
blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives good complexion.
Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at
DR.. l.. r. Kinks drug store. 80
cents per bottle.

Recruiting.

Lieutenant George T. King was
sent home from Camp Wilmer last
week with orders to open Il recruit
ing office at the Elkton Armory,
and enroll fifty two men for the
First Regiment. Able bodied men
between the ages of IS and 45 years
are wanted, and where they have
not attained the age of 81 years,
the written consent of parents must
be obtained.
Twentysix members Of Company
E, of Elkton, returned home last
week, some being over age, others
were unable to pass the physical
examination, and few declined to
enlist. This materially weakened
the Company, and as it was neces-
sary to raise it to eighty men,
Lieutenant King has been ordered
to recruit.
Major William G. Purnell, of the
Regiment, has been retired on ac-
count of inability to pass the neces-
sary physical examination. The
general order was issued on Tues
day of last week. Four other of
ficers of the Maryland National
Guard were also retired.
Major Purnell is sixty years OF
age and has done his full share OF
soldering for the country. He
was prisoner of war in Libby
prison several months. The coun-
try has no claims on the old vets
for further military service. They
have earned a pension and com
Portable home the rest of theil
lives, and should not be allowed tC
60 to the wars any more, even il
they desire to go. Their patriotic
spirits may be willing to brave the
hardships of camp and field, but
their bodies carry the weight of toe
many years to bear the knapsack
as they did thirty years ago.

Killed by the Cars.

On Sunday morning the track
walker found the mangled body o
a colored man ON the track about
two miles east of Elkton. The mar
proved to be Charles Whitney, 6
race track follower who has beer
living in Elkton and who has {
daughter, a school teacher in thai
town. Whitney had been attend
ing the races near Baltimore and il
is the supposition was riding on g
freight train that did not stop al
Elkton and in attempting to jump
off fell under the cars.

A rlan Who is Tired

All the time, owing to impoverished
blood, should take Hoods Sarsaparilla
to purify and enrich his blood and give
him vitality aud vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack of
energy is natural consequence of the
coming of warmer weather, which finds
the system debilitated and the blood
impure.
A good spring medicine is necessity
with almost everyone. Hoods sarsa-
parilla is what the millions take in the
spring. Its great power to purify and
enrich the blood and build up health is
one of the facts of common experience.

TheRc.as.

The Cecil county commissioners
contemplate a decided change in
the work of road mending. Fol-
the past two years the roads have
been placed out at contract to the
lowest bidder, but the plan has not
been satisfactory. The commits
sioners, it is said. will now return
TO the old system of mending the
roads by the day. Keeping the
county roads in repair is one of the
largest items of expense in Cecil
county. Over $4,000 a year is
spent on the roads.
"And there the old, old story
was told at 5 O'Clock in the morn
ing" The commissioners have
gone back to the methods of the
daddies, which was abandoned
thirty years ago because Of its utter
failure, except to waste $4,000 a
year. Our worthy commissioners
acknowledge they don't know what
they want nor how to get it. But
they do know how to waste $4,000
a year, and are doing it. If they
would invest 81, 900 in the employ
ment of scientific brains they could
find out what they want and also
how to get it and what it would
cost.

| PiehAhS AtSCll.
May 4th, 1898.
| Mr.. "A. B. KAY,
Rising Sun, Md.
Ny Dear Sir At the Annual Meeting of the
| Brookview Cemetery Company on Monday even
| ing the md inst the lamentable circumstance Of
| the untimely and sorrowful death of your son
John A. Kay, was discussed.
| As no hope of the ultimate recovery and recog.
milton of his remains seems to be possible it was
| regarded as most timely and fitting recognition
of his worth and popularity, he having died IN
the service of his country, to take some steps
towards erecting monument to his memory in
their new cemetery.
1t is the universal verdict of the entire COM
munity that he was one of the finest young men
that ever left this section and where is there any
place more suitable to erect monument to his
memory than among those with whom he passed
his childhood and what spot more eminently
appropriate than the beautiful location of our
new cemetery, looking down upon the school
and playground where he spent four years of his
boyhood days. and almost in sight of your own
home.
Reuben Haines Esq, of Elkton, in the course
of an address one evening last week before the
very school where your son received his education
made this suggestion, and we presume to him
belongs the credit of the original thought.
The Company decided to appoint committee
consisting of William NJ. Pogue and myself, to
confer with you upon this subject, and you have
spent portion of this afternoon with that COM
mittee and Mr.. w. T. b. R. Robertson, looking
over the ground, through the chapel, viewing
the location and the Improvements, together with
the books and blanks of the Company, whereby
you were convinced that our cemetery is on
substantial basis and well organized.
AS President of said Company, am authorized
to make you the following propositions We will
donate for the purpose of placing thereon such
monument two adjacent lots value fifty dollars
in said cemetery.
Next we understand that request has been
made of the different churches of the county tor
special collections to be donated towards a mon
ument fund in some other State, which is to be
erected in memory of those who died aboard the
battleship Maine. We will make an effort to have
whatever amount is collected in this manner
turned over towards the erection ofthis monu.
ment in memory ofyour son.
Further we propose to take steps to raise by
popular subscription and by any other means
thought advisable whatever we can to further
apply in the same dire ction
Finally, you understand that we donate two
lots and offer our services in connection with Civ.
ing the community the pleasure and opportunity
of contributing toward this worthy project We
hope this may commend itself to your approba-
ton and that you will let US know within day
or so, SO that we can take initatory steps in the
matter without delay.
We might add that we believe that there are
many in this community who will be more than
pleased with this movement and who will desire
to have share in it and cooperate with us.
Yours faithfully,
II. II. HAINEs, Prest.

Military Exercises.

Mr.. A. L. Duyckinck and family
attended the annual military exer
cises at Cheltenham academy last
Friday, to witness the military
evolutions of the students, among
whom is Horace M. Duyckinck.
Although the exercises were married
considerably by the rain, the boys
acquitted themselves in fine style.
One of the features was sham
battle between Uncle Sans forces,
with Cuban allies, against the
Spaniards. Another feature was
the bicycle corps, which showed
remarkable skill in going through
the drill.
