about So to the pan. We have four men at

ing 10 hours a day makes our expenses about
$40 day for labor. So, You see, we must take

The Toll-Gate Must Go.-Citizens Of the
neighborhood of Middle River, 18th district,
have engaged an attorney to represent them in
their fight to remove the toll-gate now located
on the Eastern avenue road. A committee
composed of Messrs. Joshua Wilkinson and
Alexander Hughes has been appointed to So
licit contributions among the farmers of Mid
die River Neck and surrounding country to
defray the expenses. The farmers of the To-
cfaif6 fYG TIE CON Safy has no legal right to
charge toll, as the land on which the road was
built was given by the abutting landowners
to be used as county road. and the first cost
of cutting the road through was paid for by
popular subscription. About fifteen years ago,
it is said, company of Baltimoreans was
granted permission by the County Commits
sioners to repair the road which at that time
was in very bad condition, and in payment
for the repairs they were allowed the privilege
of placing toll-gate on the road until the
company had received the amount of the first
cost of repairing and the expenses entailed in
keeping the road in good condition. The
farmers claim it is about time they were hear
ing how much more will have to be paid to
the company before the road is to be given
back to the county.

ize and tear away from this day its hallowed
associations and beneficent restraints.
I'VE must train our children to revere the
Sabbath and we must demand of our legsla-
tors its ample protection against the plots of
evil men. We have confidence in the integrity
of our lawmakers and are grateful that we
have as the chief executive OF the State man
of known Christian character. We do not
believe that these will permit the baneful touch
of infidel hands to be laid on our holy Sab
BATH

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. c.
1t may be question whether the editor

a duty TO say good word for Chamber

edy We have known and used this medi-
mine in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable In many
cases dose of this remedy would save
hours of suffering while physician is
awaited We do not believe In depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if bottle of Cham
berlains Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the

quired. At least this has been our exper-

our flag is to the nation, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is to the individual, in
asmuch as it not only gives you freedom
from your ailments, but protects your
system in such a manner that they can
not return. When your stomach gets out
of order, causing you to belch after eat
ing, or when you are so nervous that
you toss about all night, unable to sleep,
you should certainly try it, because it
will strengthen your stomach, steady your
nerves, and induce sound healthy sleep.
