A Great statesman's Secret.

1t is related that the secret of a celebrated
statesman's long life was his systematic way
of eating. Every bit of food put into his
mouth was chewed thirty times before he
swallowed il. The consequence was that his
stomach never bothered him. and he naturally
enjoyed good health. Most men and women
bolt their food, and eat things which were
never intended to be eaten. They become
costive, have bad complexion, lose flesh, are
irritable and nervous, and the first thing they
know they are played out" as the saying
goes. 1t is gratifying to know that HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters OvercOmes and cures all stom-
ach troubles. II is purely vegetable medicine
that has stood the test of fifty years. 1t cures
cases which seem 20 be hopeless. Chronic
sufferers from any disorder OF stomach, liver
or bowels, should try il.

WEST DOVER.
The Rurbee Mill Burned.

Last Saturday night about IL o'clock
the village was startled to hear the
church bell ringing the alarm of fire. 1t
was soon found that the mill property
now owned by E. L. Burbee was in
flames. At 11.3O the covered bridge on the
stream near the mill was in flames also.
The fire spread rapidly and soon the shop,
mill and bridge were gone. The fire then
caught on the shop formerly owned by
S. H. Moore, but now owned by j. a.
Davis, and but for the timely arrival of
the fire engines from Wilmington it is
feared the whole village would have been
swept away. The Wilmington people did
nobly in assisting to save the property,
and all feel grateful to them. The origin
of the fire is unknown.
Mr. Burbee was making preparations
to get his boiler ready to put in steam
works, and was expecting to begin on it
Monday. 1t is a sad loss to him, as well
as to the porperty owners of West Dover.
Mr. Burbee has the sympathy of the COM
munity, and it is hoped he may receive
such support as will enable him to re-
build. shop was burned on the site of
this one % years ago the 9Th of October,
when it was owned by Kent e Davis and
was rebuilt the same fall by Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Burbee's loss is about $4,000; insured
for $4,000.
