Three Doctors in Consultation.

When you are sick, what you like best is to be
chosen for medicine in the first place: what ex-
perience tells you is best to be chosen in the sec
ond place; what reason d. Theory says is best is
to be chosen in the last place. But if you get
Dr.. Inclination, Dr. Experience and DR.. Reason to
hold aconsultation together: they will give you
the best advice that can be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
FRANKLIN.
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
ton would recommend Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and
safe to take. DIR. Experience would rec
ommend it because it never fails to effect
speedy and permanent cure. DIR. Reason
would recommend it because it is prepared
on scientific principles, and acts on
natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretion and restoring the
system to natural and healthy condition.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has
been made, and that too, by a lady
in this country. "Disease fasten-
ed its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs
were undermined and death seemed
imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way
to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry 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." Thus writes w. G. Ham
nick & Co., of Shelby, N. G. Trial

ton of the following "open letter" in the
JOURNAL
CoLoRA ND, Oct II. 1898.
As members of the last House of Delegates of
Maryland you have had the honor representing
measures to that body, some of which have be-
come laws and one is now before the voters of
Cecil county awaiting their sanction to give it the
force OF enactment
John S. Writ is credited with being the author
or at least the willing agent in passing this last
Hotel License law, which he is now recommend
ing to the people through the columns of the
Cecil Democrat as being an improvement over
the presentact.
We would therefore as citizens and voters of this
county, especially appointed to bring out the
truth and give that information upon which an
intelligent ballot can be cast, ask that John S.
Writ will at his earliest possible convenience meet
the people upon this issue and discuss the merits
of it with speaker holding different views upon
the question. To reply that it can be discussed
on the printed page in our county papers is no
answer to our reasonable request, that the people
have the right to ask of a public servant and
can only look upon refusal to give it as n tacit
admission that he does not dare to do it.
The terms of the law, which was in the nature
of contract with the voters of this county, have
been changed without the request or petition or
even knowledge of the majority of citizens most
directly interested,
By all means let us have the whole truth of this
matter fairly given before our intelligent people
who are to be the judges.

When Lafayette Was in Cecil.

The Baltimore American pub
fishes 1.-THE following letter giving
"reminiscences of Lafayette:
In 1881 Lafayette and his army
enroute for Yorktown, camped fol-
some time in Cecil county, Md. Il
is said the men under Lafayette al
the time Washington detached them
from his army, near New York
numbered 1,200. They reached
the head of Elk, Cecil county, early
in March. The following day
Lafayette wrote this letter to Col
Henry Hollingsworth,' one of the
loyal citizens of Elkton, in regard
to supplies:
ELKToN 18th March, 1871.
Sir:-I return the authority of governor, inclos
ed in yours of this date. do not think you will
be able to collect the quantity of meat specified in
it by tomorrow. You may, however. use youI
utmost endeavors with the civil power with which
you vested to collect as much possible today
which we shall take with us. The rest you will
form into magazine and wait my orders for its
following us. do not suppose, on such an occa-
sion as the present. military guard necessary for
enforcing the governors warrant; but, should
you find that it is, you must have one. am, sir,
your obi and h'ble sevt,
Mr.. Henry Hollingsworth.
Several days later Lafayette
wrote Governor Thomas Lee that
he would move on April 18th, and
that it would be necessary to have
horses and wagons at Baltimore to
relieve those which would accom-
pany hilu from that city.
On the evening of April 18th
Lafayette and troops halted at
Calvert, Cecil county, and encamp-
ed in the meeting house woods.
The General passed the night in an
old stone house, the home of Job
Haines, near Rising Sun. Next
morning the troops! moved early
and crossed the Susquehanna in
scows at Bald Friar, Cecil county.
The boat in which Lafayette cross
ed struck on rock, and he was
carried ashore by Aquill Beaver.
The latter died in 1885, aged SO
years. His bones were exhumed
recently and reinterred at Havre
de Grace. He was the grandfather
of John w. Beaver, tax collector of
Havre de Grace. Lafayette's men
at the time were poorly clad and
discontinued. After crossing at
Bald Friar one deserter was hanged.
Lafayette's army camped along
the run called Green's branch in
the Eighth district, where they
must have remained several days
before moving on to Bald Friar
ferry. This camp was ON the Gill
lespie place and the spot was
marked by rough stone wall the
soldiers constructed, for what pur-
pose is not known. The late John
E. Gillespie guarded the wall from
being destroyed in his lifetime.
The officers were entertained at
the farm houses in the neighbor-
hood. Patrick Ewing, grandfather
to the present generation, was an
officer in the quartermaster's de-
partment and went to the neigh
bors and divided their hay and
provender with the army, leaving
enough to winter the stock. 1t was
on Sunday when the army reached
their camping ground in the Eighth
district.

Merchant
Tailoring
Exclusively.

Not having any connections with the
ready-made trade, we cut every garment
to the individual measurement of each
customer, and in this manner we avoid
possibility of being charged with furnish
ing garments out of stock, as not infre-
quently happens when purchases are made
from double headed establishments.
We do not pretend to be the cheapest
house" in the merchant tailoring field,
and we say plainly we have no ambition
to be regarded as such. We furnish a sat-
isfactory article rather than a cheap one,
yet we challenge competitors to produce
garment whose satisfaction is based upon
good material. good fit and good finish, at
lower price than the figure we name for
similar goods. We expect to be judged
by what we place in the hands of our Gus
toners, not what we say we will do. An
ounce of execution is worth a pound OF
promise. Try u.s.
We have at present over 1900 samples
of cloths for Suits, Overcoats, Vestings,
&C., from which to select.
