SUSSEX LAND INCREASES IN VALUE.
Fruit Growing Responsible For the Unusual
High Values Down State.-SaIes Recorded.

NN'
Real estate in the section of Bridge
vile is fast increasing in price and
sales of land at over 500 per acre
causes no comment. Only few years
ago $50 to 500 an acre was considered
very high price, but in the past few
weeks sales have been made at prices
considerably in excess of that. L. j.
Gray and K. r. Layton have purchased
of Mrs. L. A. Cahall a so acre tract
at $3.50 per acre. E. W. Ellingsw orth
has sold Philip Jones 60 acre tract at
500 per acre. Joshua Dickerson has
about closed deal to sell small tract
he owns near Bridgeville for 1866 per
acre. This adjoins tract. DIR. G. R.
Layton recently purchased for $3.50 per
acre. William Willin has sold W. M.
Sammons a 40 acre farm for 1000 or
$10O per acre Mr.. Willin recently
paid $113 per acre for the farm where
he now lives. These tracts are near
the town, but desirable farming land
several miles from here commands
from $50 to $75 per acre. The fruit in
dustry is responsible for the great in
crease in the value of land in this sec
tion. Large quantities of fruit and
produce are shipped from BridgevIlle,
and the town has the enyiable reputa-
tion of being the largest strawberry
shipping post in the world.

WALKED IN SLEEP, FELL TO DEATH.
Nluety.yesr-OId Inmate of Kent County Hos
pitaI TumbIes From Third Story Wiadow.

Mrs. Annie Shan, walking in her
sleep at the Kent County Hospital,
near Wyoming, ,at an early hour Thurs
day morning, stepped out of third
story window and dropped to the
ground. The somnambulistic feat
caused her instant death from concus-
sion of the brain and broke nearly
every bone in her body. The woman
had been twice married and was nearly
90 years old, and had just temporarily
escaped from the observation of one of
the nurses when the tragic plunge took
place. 1t was at first thought that she
was fully conscious and had simply
desired to step out on roof which was
just beneath another window of hel
ward, but she got the wrong window.

Catarrh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure for IL.
COSTS NoTHINa TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
Tisings. a formation Of gases, causing pres
sure on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing headaches, tickle appetite, ner-
vousness and a general played out languid
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and If the interior OF the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before IL has time TO ferment and
irrtate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion Is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is TO use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, little NuN, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name
OF stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not be,
ing a patent medicine can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. 3. Workman. Chicago, Ills, writes
"Catarrh is a local condltion resultina
from a neglected cold In the head, whereby
the lining membrane Of the nose become
tntiamed and the poisonous, discharge there
from passing backward into the throa
