Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous sytem to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centres in the stomach, gently
stimulates the liver and kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off impurities
in the blood. Electric Bitters improves
the appetite aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it as the
very best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold for soc. or $500 per bottle

Death of William n. singerly.

William M. Singerly died sud-
denly on last Sunday afternoon at
his home in Philadelphia, of heart
disease. He had been suffering
with a severe cold tor several days
which confined him to his home.
No doubt the business troubles that
had recently Overtaken him added
to his taking off. He was an in
veterate smoker and was afflicted
with the ailment called by physi-
Clans tobacco heart" All of
these enemies to health and life
contributed to Mr.. Singerly's sud
den death.
But it is not the manner of his
death but the results that must fol-
low, that the large circle of people
his extensive business put him in
touch with will most feel. His
genial spirit and liberality to al
most a fault made him hosts of
friends amongst all classes and
conditions of people. His business
life had made a large impression on
Cecil county. The manufacturing
establishments he erected in and
near Elkton are immense and fitted
with the very finest and best quail
ity of machinery.
The shock that was felt at the
news of his sudden death will be
far reaching and lasting in its con-
sequences. The world produces
but few as many sided business
men as VIM. M. Singerly. and his
popularity did not stop here. His
unstinting liberality and generosity,
carried him away above the ordi-
nary money getter whose soul mar
rows and shrivels with success. On
the contrary VIM. NJ. Singerly's
broadened into liberality and a
spirit of benefcence grew and ex-
banded as wealth poured in on him.
But with all his virtues, execH-
tive ability and admirable qualities,
he lacked knowledge in the true
element of success in business. He
failed to learn, or if he knew, failed
torteach through his paper, the
that when the producing
ing element of the community is
crippled by a bad financial system,
the most ably conducted business
sooner or later must inevitably be
stricken down. A steadily falling
prices of property will bankrupt
every business that can't flee to
shelter and a haven of safety behind
monopoly that has power to
check the fall in price of it's pro-
lacts. Mr.. Singerly's paper wildly
upheld the financial policy that ex-
racted the life blood from the veins
IF trade and productive industry,
and the economic leech he nour-
shed fastened itself on the veins of
every line of business he so actively |
md ardently promoted, which
must totter to its fall, except what
yer part can be sheltered by a
rust in the future.

Clerk to County Commissioners.

Mr.. John S. Writ has introduced
in the House of Delegates bills
amending the Cecil county laws re-
lating to county commissioners and
county treasurer so as to separate
the commissioners and the treas
urer. In 1894 the Legislature en-
acted laws abolishing the position
of clerk to the county commits
sioners and provided that the
county treasurer should act as such
clerk. Mr.. Writ thinks that this
system has worked badly, and he
desires to return to the former plan
of having a clerk to the commits
sioners and a treasurer, who wi be
unencumbered by other duties.
