A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription
of DR.. A. Roschee, celebrated German
Physician, and Is acknowledged to be one
of the most fortunate discoveries in Med
icine. 1t quickly cures coughs, colds and
all lung troubles of the severest nature,
removing, as it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in strong
and healthy condition. 1t is not an ex-
perimental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in every
case. which its rapidly increasing sale
ties sold annually. Roachee's German
Syrup was introduced In the United States
in 1868, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.

Circuit Court

The adjourned December term of
Circuit Court for Cecil county re-
convened at Elkton Monday
morning, with Judges William r.
Martin and Edwin II. Brown on
the bench. The hearing of the
contested election cases was post
poned until Friday, owing to some
of the counsel not being able to be
present. The equity case of Clay
ton vs.. Harry M. Brown occupied
the attention of the court all day.
The case is "a rather q peculiar one.
A few years ago David Gregson,
Il farmer of the Fourth district,
died, leaving a will devising his
farm near Fair Hill to his two sons,
they to pay his widow an annuity
of 5000 yearly. A short time later
a mortgage was given on the prop.
erty, and in default of the interest
being paid, the property was sold
to Harry M. Brown at public sale
The plaintiff claims that Mrs.
Gregson was of unsound mind when
she signed the mortgage and that
undue influence was brought to
bear upon her, and asks that the
sale be declared null and void.
Austin I. OFethers and L. Marshall
Haines are counsel for the defen-
dant, and Albert Constable and
Holster Hess represent the plaintiff.
