DIR. Ransom r. Crothers, one OF
the best known physicians of Cecil
county, died at his home near
Colora, Saturday morning, at two
o'clock. He had been in poor
health for some time past but his
illness was not considered danger,
GUS until the latter part of the
week, and his death came as a
shock to his wide circle of friends.
The deceased was the eldest son OF
the late Alpheus and Margaret
Porter Crothers, and was born near
lakewood, Eighth District, in 1915.
He attended West Nottingham Acad
envy and Millersvile, Pa, Normal
School, and began the study of
medicine in the Office of Prof. N.
R. Smith of Baltimore, afterward
entering the University of Maryland
and graduating in 1874. He began
the practice of medicine at Row,
landville, and had a loAg and sue
cessful career as a practitioner.
He was married in 1888 to Miss
Frances Christie, who survives him,
with two sons, Roman R., and John
Q. Crothers. His funeral was held
Tuesday morning and was largely
attended. The services were con-

Coler was notified of his nomination as
democratic candidate for Governor of that

The Socialist vote in Pennsylvania is
bothering the politicians of both the old
parties. They admit that this elemen,
will have to be reckoned with in future
elections. Democratic leaders attribute
the defeat of their Legislative ticket in
several counties to the Socialist vote The
coal strike helped the Socialist ticket
greatly in calling attention to public
ownership. Mass meetings and addresses
will be continued by the Socialists during
the entire winter for the dissemination oil
their doctrines in the state.

the town seems to hang on TO the nil
side by sheer good luck there are many
level streets and but few with heavy
grades.
In the business section many fine
buildings line the streets. The county
courthouse. q splendid new building,
fronts on Main street. A new opera
house is almost completed, and next to
the courthouse workmen are building
the foundations for six story build
ing which will be the largest and finest
in the town. This site, one of the most
desirable in the town, cost the owners
100000 or $1,000 a foot front, while
other property in the business section
runs from $500 to $500 per foot front,
building lots in the resident district
being anywhere from 5000 to $1,000.
The residence section of late date
consists mostly of fine houses far above
the average Of the usual inland city.
They line wide, graded and paved
streets. but so far there has been no
effort at uniformity, and the result is
that the appearance of the town has
buHeTeu. WIFI the lued Oh Improving
the place one real estate man has plan
ned an addition in the resident section
which will add materially to the ap-
pearance of the town. A wide drive
way will be built with a central grass
plot, grass plots along the sidewalks,
deep lawns, houses of uniform style
and location, and to add to the parklike
features he proposes to have Il lake and
a pretty square with a fountain. The
streets will be lined with shade trees,
and this addition will be the beauty
spot of the town. The work on the
driveway was to have been started last
fall but was prevented by a delay oc-
casiOned by the sale of part of the prop
erty, but as soon as the weather will
permit the contractors will begin work.

COM M UNlCATION.

To the Editor Of the Registers:
Dear Sir: We feel "A desire to thank
you for telling the people of Middlebury
about DevOe lead and zine, in comparison
with lead and oil : but are restrained by
the fact that your business is TO print
the news, all the news, especially good
news.
Ii concerns every man that owns a
house; it concerns every painter, Scarce
" one of your readers Is not concerned
with paint that saves men, on the
average, several dollars year apiece.
And painter, whose work lasts twice
as long as the work of other "good
painteIs," of course, will get all the
business as soon as the fact Is known.
But people won't wait for proof, when
we authorize our agent to sell 1t under
this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it on or
hereafter in the wear, tell you dealer
about it.
ave authorize him TO do what is right
at our expense"
The usual painters saying is that lead
Is good for three years; Devoe lead and
zinc is good for six years--yes, for ten
or fifteen in favorable circumstances, II
you mean "turns water"
Yours truly,
