One of Kent county's well-known far
mers, Mr. James T. Ireland is having bad
luck with his cattle. About Christmas he
purchased 81 head Of Virginia cattle from a
local buyer and they seemed to be doing well.

eat and when the day closed five had died
Saturday five more were taken off by the
disease. Mr. Ireland did everything possible
to save the cattle but in vain. On Wednee-
day he had only l3 of the 81 cattle bought
Christmas.

Copies of the CECIL WHIG are on file at
in Baltimore. DR. +. NJ. Sparks, librarian of
the Society, said that the society is now

him last year in which the society expressed
desire to secure Il collection of Maryland
newspaper files us complete as possible and
promised to preserve current numbers as
we'll as back volumes If given or loaned to
the society. He is in hopes that the other
Maryland editors will see the value Of having
their publications represented and will add
them to the list.
The Maryland Court OF Appeals rendered
Il decision the other day-that suicide is no
bar in the Improved Order of Heptasoph's
contract suit was instituted to recover
the amount of benefit certificate issued by
the order to Miles Tull, a son OF Nathan J.
P. Tull. Pending the suit the father died
aud his administrators were substituted in
his place. The defense Of the order to the
naymept was that Milaa Tull comm itted Sui
eide, and that according to the implied terms
OF the certificate contract the order was
exempted from the payment of the same.
The order also offered to prove that Tull
entered the order for the express purpose OF
getting money from 1t by suicide. The court
holds that nothing in the terms OF contract
shows that the suicide OF the holder OF a
benefit certificate would deprive the decen-
dents estate Of the benefits of the certificate.
