NEGRO Preacher Ordered To
Leave Town.

Seaford, Oct. 1.-THE Rev. j. NJ.
Jarrel. colored preacher who came
here two months ago from North Caro-
lima, was given notice to leave town
yesterday by the town authorities. He
complied at once. The negro had been
conducting meetings on street corners
and had been stopping with Martha
Sneed, colored, widow who became
frightened at his actions but was afraid
to drive him off for fear he would re-
turn and kill her. This, together with
his actions on the streets, caused the
town authorities to serve notice on him
to leave.

HENRY B. PURNELL
N COMMITS suicide.
A Prominent Young Merchant OF Ocean
City, In Financial Straits. Shoots Him
self Dies INSTANTLY

Henry Il. Purnell, a merchant of
Ocean City, committed suicide about
twenty minutes to twelve clock Thurs
dayInight, by shooting himself in the
temple with pistol. Only one shot
wa{ fired, the ball taking fatal effect.
and death resulting instantly. Messrs.
+. S. Furbush and w. X. Purnell, Of
Berlin. were in the store at the time. and
had been discussing business matters
with him.
Without giving ony warning of his
intentions, Mr.. Purnell rose from his
seat. and going behind the counter.
shot himself in the manner described
above, before the astounded eyes of
the gentlemen who were present, and
who did not realize what he was doing
until the rash act had been committed.
Financial difficulties made Mr.. Purnell
Respondent, and constant brooding and
worrying over business matters had
probably unbalanced his mind
The fact that the rash act was pre-
meditated was brought out at the in
quest, when letter was found in his
pocket addressed to one of his brothers.
In the letter he spoke of his financial
troubles, and said that death was bet
ter than life, and that the vital moment
had come. He left an insurance policy
of $1,000, which he directed should be
used towards the liquidation of his in
debtedness. He also left another policy
for smaller amount, made payable to
one of his brothers. He was about 30
years of age. and unmarried.

heard a sharp whistle, and, looking up,
there was the Gypsy just entering

he had left his boat, and by he time
the yacht was anchored had pulled
alongside. TO his surprise no one was

II II Does Not Cure.

Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease. 1t should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempoc-
arily relieved with drastic purgatives. Here
is case in point:
Mr.. G. S. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N.
Y, was distressed with Indigestion, chronic
constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, DR..
Kennedy's aeto medicine, used it and began
to improve rapidly. All of his old COM
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.

Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,

At the residence Of Washington
Sheets near Sonestown, Wednesday
October 4, occurred a pretty home
wedding, at high noon when their
daughter, Cecil became the bride OF
Floyd G. Durham of Eagles Mere,
Ia. The Rev. S. B. Bidlack read
the pretty ceremony of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Ritual. After the
marriage an excellent dinner was
served to the families of the con
tracing parties.
An exchange tells us OF an editor
who started about fifteen years ago
with fifteen cents and is now worth
800, 600. His accumulation of wealth
is owing to his frugality, strict at
tention to business and to the fact
that an uncle died and left him
500, ,99s.
Boyd 2. Bennett, Republican
Candidate for County Commissioner
is out shaking hands with his ma
ny friends. Mr.. Bennett is good
experienced business II an, having
conducted d numbering business
successfully for many years and
consequently meets all the require
ments of a successful County Com
missioner, which he will easily
demonstrate if elected. He can be
relied upon to attend to attend to
official duties faithfully. This fact
alone is sufficient reason why the
voters of Sullivan County should
support him for the Office he is 50
eminently qualified to fill.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Streby
is now a candidate for responsible
Office we deem it proper to ask him
two or three questions relative to his
conduct in the year of the election
when Judge Sitter and Durham
were opposing candidates.
First. Did you testify when eX-
amined as witness in the judicial
contest that you received a consider
able sum of money prior to the elcc-
ton from the Democratic candidates
for Representative and President
Judge?
Second. Did you then testify that
you received fifty dollars from B..
Worth Jennings the Republican
candidate for Representative:
Third. Did you go to the polls and
vote that year?
We hope Mr.. Streby will not
consider these questions irrelevant
but answer them candidly. The
people of this county have a right to
know the facts.
