Contract For Road Awarded.

The contract for the macadamized
road between Rising Sun and Farm
ington has been awarded to E.
Ward Brown, of Port Deposit, who
has had considerable experience in
road building, having done large
amount of work on the fine drive
ways constructed about the Tome
Institute grounds. Engineer John
ston, of the State Highway Divi-
sion, will have general supervision
of the road for the Sixth District
Road League.
Work is to commence in few
days and be pushed with vigor, in
order that a portion Of the road
may be completed before winter sets
in and stops operations. In all
probability stone for this end of
the road will be quarried on the
farm of VIM. NJ. Pogue, adjoining
town, where the crusher will be set
up. AS nearly as can be estimated
from the nature of the proposal the
contract price will be in the neigh
borhood of 81 800. In addition to
this will be the cost of the stone,
etc., which will bring the expense
of building the road up to about
IS, 500.
The progress of this undertaking
is being watched with interest, on
account of the radical departure OF
the Commissioners from the meth
DDS which have been followed for
years and years in the county,
without any lasting benefit accru-
ing therefrom, and despite the fact
that it would seem to be a move in
the right direction numerous pro
tests have been made against the
action of these officials, which the
successful completion of the work
alone will most effectually answer

Brakeman Injured.

Section foreman John Harvey
on Wednesday morning found
Harry Evans, of the Central Divi-
sion, lying beside the track at
Dunlap's crossing, near Barnsley.
The supposition is that the brake
man fell from his train about 1880
Tuesday night, and being injured
lay helpless the balance of the
night. He was sent to the hospit-
al on Wednesday morning, and
while apparently badly hurt, the
extent of his injuries was not
made known.

A Wood Famine.

Kingstree has been greatly incon.
venieuceu during the "cool snap"-in
convencied almost to the point of
suffering. Those farmers who COM
monty supply the demand complain
that farm duties have been impera-
tive, and they could not do any
hauling. The people have had to
depend principally on the OK carts
for their wood and the prices have
been beyond all reason.
1t has been suggested that wood
yard in town would be paying in
stitution. If one man will establish
such an enterprise and be allowed to
have the business to himself there is
no reason why he should not make
money. We must have wood from
some source.

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL
As to the Florence Times Report OF
Impending Failure in Lake City.

LAKE CITY, October 27:-We are
reliably informed that the Florence
Times of one day last week contain
ed the statement that failures were
expected in Lake City and in Tim
monsville. We do not know any
thing about the condition of the
business houses Of Timmonsville but
we do know something of Lake City's
merchants-in fact we are satisfied
that We are better posted US to the
business of this town than the Flor
ence Times, and We say most emphat
ically that if there is a single genuine
merchant in Lake City who is even
cramped, we know nothing oft. By
genuine merchant We mean to ex-
clude one-horse shop keepers who
never had any credit and whose fail
ure would hurt only such houses as
extend credit upon no financial back
ing or property basis. And we make
the further assertion that no town of
this section of equal size and volume
of business can show fewer failures
during the last six years than this
one. 1t seems to us that the time is
at hand when the Times should be
less reckless in making such state
ments. W. L. B.

Whooping cough is not dangerous

substance and may be given as con-
fidently to a baby as to al adult. 1t
is also pleasant to take. When alt

of our brothers life. The secret Of
his life was in its personal relation
ship to Jesus. Jesus Christ was to
him both Saviour and Lord. His
faith was therefore a reouke to those
who magnify Christ as an example,
but do not accept Him as redeemer
from sin. The right thing to do,
the only safe thing to do, according
to the Lords word, is to take of our
sins first. Having chains stricken
from our limbs, We are ready to be
told how to walk. We sometimes
dwell upon the insignifcanee OF hu'
man life, its brerity, its small
achievements, the haste with. which
men forget it when ended. But
there IS another side. Of Abel 1T
was said: 'He being dead yet speak
eth In future years we may be far
scattered over the earth, but as often
as we think of the life Of him in
whose memory we are met today,
We will be directed to Christ, whose
he was, an whom he served. And
may we in days to come so live that
when we depart to be with Christ,
men may also by our lives be di-
rected to him."

A MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Churches In Chestertown, Pa, Held
Appropriate Services in Honor OF Rev
Henry Giiland.

A union service of the Metho-
dist and Presbyterian congregations
was held in the Presbyterian church,
Sunday morning, in memory of
the late Rev Heny Gilland. The
church was we'll filled with those
who had known Mr. Gilland during
his years of residence in Chester
town, aud who paid this tribute of
respect to his memory. The pastor
of the church spoke from HEBREWS,
xi, 4, .He being dead, yet speaketh." ."
Among other things he said: ''The
materials for a complete life sketch
of our brother who has departed
to be with Christ are not in my pos
session. Nor would he desire that
at this time and in this house we
pronounce any eulogy. Rather let
me put into words some of the
thoughts that have been in our
minds during the past few days.
For one thing We have been taught
lessons in patience. Patience in the
sense of resignation to Gods will,
awaiting events with calnness and
without discoutent; patience in the
more active sense of the bearing up
under burdens, suffering of body and
distress of mind; patience was with
out murmer or complaint-has been
exsmpli6ed in our midst. We have
had practical, living comment on
the words of the apostle Paul EN-
dure hardness, as good soldier of
Jesus Christ May the example of
our captain, and of our fellow SOL
dier be before us for inspiration and
encouragement. We have had an
example, too, of the conscientious
and faithful performance of scme of
the outward duties of religion. AS
often as health and strength per.
mitted, this one whom We respected
found his delights in the house of
the Lord, and the worship of God
there. In these times when We are
inclined to make the performance
of these dutiesa matter Of disposi-
ton or convenience, We cannot do
better than to ask ourselves whether
after all this is the way to develop
well-rounded Christian character.
Will it not be better to substitute
for inclination and feeling duty
and its conscientious performance?
And can we not say with greater
confidence that a life of gentleuess
and quiet still has its influence in a
community? Cannot the bed of sick
ness become source of great power?
Who can tell how great is, the inau-
ence that radiates from the bed of
patient suffering through commu-
nifty? 1t is still possible in our day
to represent Christian by light
with its clear and steady flame,
showing the great light of the world
to men. None of US in the pres
ence of recent memories can say
that such life Is without influence.
But passing by these lesser lessons
that will suggest themselves to us
all, let us seek the one great lesson
