WORTH 3OO,0OO,OOO.
The President of certain big Oil Co

The President of certain big Oil Com.
pany is said to be worth $500, 100000 A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to a Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that no
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, erstill, divide hemoney among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want TO laugh, bat it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters ON their backs
or chests or on any other spot where there
was weight, heayiness, weakness or pain.
1t may be tho sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as ct dog bite; or it may be q
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, ETC., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. 1t relieves at once
and cures quickly. 1t stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, or
we will prepay postage on any number
ordered in the United States on receipt of
25c. each.

W" wcr" visited on Sunday afternoon
with Il heavy rain, accompanied with
hail for SOME minutes, very heavy thun-

raised the Octoraro, bun. not enough to
do any damage. The long looked for,
and much desired high water has come

quite high and bids fair for - good raft

All hands and hearts or the Susquc
hanna are anxiouSly looking for III"

is said there is large quantity of lum
Der to descend the river; we hope this is
the case, as the lumber trade is Of great
value to u0r Port Deposit folks.

Mr. EDITOR
We wish to correct ii few state
mrntS made By the "Farmrr" from l'rn-
cipio, in issue of Cecil Whig." of March
1st. concerning the Rural Free Delivery.
If tn" Farmer" lives nj Principin, he
cannot get his mail any sooner by the
Rural Free Delivery than he does At the
present time; and if he does. it will be
the mail of the previous day. because.
the mail carriers leave the Rising Sun
and Port Deposit rost-o:ticr.; II an early
hour. Th" people who live near the
starting po!rt of u" carriers, will ~;
their mail at IN earlier hour. But what
about the people who live farther away
for instance at Principle or Wuodinwn:
We notice that the Farmer" does not
contradict the settlement Of til" "Citizt.n'
from Principle. when he says that we
shall not get the %aturdar'S Wing until
= O'Clock on Monday There may be few
farmers who so 10 tn" post -oncr for mail
twice day, but when they go oncc-ilS
Il great many Of them ,io-thry got that
days mail, and not the mail of the day
before. Let the people who want Rural
Free Delivery have it. what We want il,
to let the Star Route" be continued and
the po%t-olllcrS remain under the super
vision of our obliging Postmaster. The
Rural Free Delivery is SUPPOSED to tax"
mail to everybody. yet there are some
people who viii have To hav" their boxes
more than II quarter CT II mile from their
home. if til" pot offices are CLOSED
