Henry S. Smith, of Davis, W.
Va, is spending a few days at his
home in Rising Sun.
Miss Elizabeth Reynolds, of Blue
Ball, was the guest of Miss Hen

week.
Mr.. E. X. Lee and wife, OF

week visiting relatives in Chester
and Cecil counties.
Miss Elnora Riale, of Farming.
ton, is spending this month visiting
relatives and friends in Whining
ton, Philadelphia and Doylestown.
Bee hive thieves attempted to
steal a colony of bees from the
apiary of Granville w. Reynolds
one night last week. The dog set
up furious barking arousing Mrs.
Reynolds, who raised the window
and encouraged him with ''sick him
Towser," frightning the thieves
and causing them to beat hasty
retreat.
The contestants for prizes at the
o. U. A. M. festival at North East,
on Saturday night last, reported
the following amounts collected:
For buggy, Joel Dean, 1892;
Oliver B. Logan, $S4.75; silver
watch, w. w. Logan, S23. 20; H.
M. Logan, s21.65; gun, P. E.
Abrams, 1856; Charles Pryor,
| So. 90; gold watch, Miss Lizzie Fer
guson, $40 IS; Miss Anna White,
$1,000; Miss Minnie Clayman, $40.
The net proceeds on these articles
amounted to $4,000.
The report which went the rounds
of the local newspapers some time
ago, that the Susquehanna cleo
trical company had given up the
project of developing the water
power of the river for electric pur.
poses, we are informed on reliable
authority, was incorrect. The en-
gineers for the company are at work
to ascertain the best methods to
adopt and the work is steadily
progressing.
We hear nothing of the gold
developments in the Eighth dis
trlct and fears are entertained that
the project has been dropped. We
hope this may not prove to be true.
The Appeal has the following to
say of the shirt industry at the
county seat: "The Elkton shirt
factory has resumed operations
after close down of two weeks to
repair machinery, etc. Ten new
machines were added to the plant,
which Inow gives employment to
40 people. Mr.. George Birkhead,
Beverly, N. j., will dispose of the
shirt factory at that place and in
the future will devote his entire
attention to the Elkton factory.
Large fall orders are booked and
more operatives are needed"
The shirt factory appears to be
the most progressive industry in
the county.

Opening an Iron rIine.

Jos. II. Black, of Columbia, Pa,
is making preparations for mining
iron ore on his tract of land, about
one mile from Sylmar. Several
hands are at work, and S. P. Ryan
& Son have been engaged to erect
an Office and other necessary build
ings. A siding is to be run to the
mine by the railroad company.
The ore is pronounced to be of the
finest quality and very rich, and
outlook is for extensive mining
operations in the near future, in
this neighborhood.

The Tyson Estate.

John B. Tyson, of Woodlawn,
wrote to Australia to ascertain
reliable facts about the millionaire
Tyson, who died there intestate,
and the prospect of sharing in the
windfall. He has received a letter
from the administrators of the
estate informing him that the heirs
had nearly all been found in Eng
land and sister in New South
Wales. So that bubble is burst
which an enterprising attorney was
in hopes of quilting money out
of every one by the name of Tyson
he could find, with the promise of
securing each one legacy. No
doubt the shyster knew there was
nothing in it for the Tysons in
America. The swindle is an old
one.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. Geo.
ID. Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, sheis wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work. -
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working
medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every

is a perfect specimen of the architec-
ture of that period. The outer walls
and keep are still in fair state of
preservation, but the balance of the
structure is nothing but a complete
ruin. In one corner of the moat are
to be seen two stone columns. Tradi-
ton has it that these were spanned
by a crossbeam of wood, surmounted
with rows of iron spikes, and that the
first lords OF the castle hurled male

The only moated castle that now re-

erected on the site of the present
castle was a hunting lodge built by

years later the lodge was destroyed by

The way of the bachelor in Della

In the present legislature there Is one
member of the house, Hon. William +.
King by name, from Sussex county,
who is a bachelor and prosperous
merchant. Mr.. King is about 80 years
old. He wears beard, neatly trimmed
in the latest style, and there is prob
ably no better dressed man In the
house. He attends strictly to his own
business and that of his district Even
the pretty young women Of Dover,
who have also learned of Mr.. Kings
single state, have been unable to make
an impression upon him. In order
that all the members OF the house
should enjoy welded bliss, Representa-

to have himself united in the bonds OF

ent general assembly. The lady OF
his choice must be under six feet

pounds" The resolution was passed
without q dissenting voice. 1t begins
to look as if the members
would enjoy the oyster supper In
fact, it is whispered that DR.. O'Day
has already been instructed to look out
for some of the finest oysters that he

says that some day he will show them.

Some Picturesque Sights in a Land
Falling Into Decay.

The castle moat, that ancient means
OF defence, so famed in song and story,
is now scarcely more than a memory
in all the broad lands of the queens
domains, Britain to the other, and
scarce see more of moat than an
empty ditch around the castle, In
nineteen out Of twenty instances even
the ditch has been filled up, and not a
trace of the moat can be found.
There are just eight castles and
manor houses in the entire United
Kingdom around which is still to be
found the moat filled with water, and
to which access can only be had by
means of venerable drawbridge.
The nearest of these to London is
lgtham House, in Warwickshire. Not
quite an hours ride by train from Lon
don brings one to Igtham Station.
From here it is a four-mile drive TO
the baronial house. The road is splen-
didly kept, and is bordered by thick
woods from almost the very door OF
the station until Ivy Thatch is reach

an age of nearly three hundred years.
1t is at the head Of steep, winding,
green lane, which brings one to the
wall surrounding the garden. This
wall is of comparatively recent date,
having been built during the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
The garden is quaint, curious and
old-fashioned, reminding one very
much of the garden with which Scott
surrounds TullyVeolan, with it's trees
and bushes clipped in fantastic shapes.
A short walk over the tan bark path
and one is at the moat, fully 40 feet
wide, with its green water simmer
ing in the sunshine like an emerald
of somewhat pale hue, out of which
rise the massive walls of the castle,
fully 500 years old. A bridge, solidly
built, leads directly into the tower
surmounted gateway.
1t is a beautiful picture of the ex-
terror of typical mansion of the four
teenth century. Before us loom gray
walls, covered in patches with dark
green ivy, carved and fretted gateways,
dark red roofs, quaint doorways, and
leaden lattice windows filled with
stained glass.
The distinguishing features of the
interior are the baronial hall, and the
