TRADE REVIEW
alice s. SHEPHERD.
GENERAL MERCHANDISE.


TO give patrons valuesthat would stand
the test of the most enterprisiug efforts of
Philadelphia's and Baltimore's leading
establishments in the mercantile lines has
been the constant aim Of Alice & Shep-l
herd. since they located in Rising Sun on
April /, 1906, as the successors of E. Fl:
Worthington & Son. To do this they
have adopted the policy of buying direct
from the manufacturer, where possible;
Of handling only productions Of estab-
lished merit and value, and of being
liberal, accommodating and always
courteous in their relations with patrons
This policy has been with them, as with
others. the only winning one; for sales
aud stocks have increased apace in
most gratifying manner, and the estab-
lishment of Alice & Shepherd can be said
today TO be among the progressive and
reliable enterprises Of Cecil county. At
their storequarters can be found the very
latest and most select collections Of staple
and fancy dry goods, dress goods, ladies'
and mems furnishing goods, clothing;
ladies', mems aud children's shoes; car
pets, queensware, wall paper and com-
plete line of groceries. These stocks
occupy their two story store building and
two rooms adjoining. and are neatly and
.methodically arranged, in we'll lighted
quarters, thereby consulting the conven-
fence and comfort of the patron. w. K
Alice and H. L. Shepherd compose the
firm. They are.both careful buyers and
capable business men, and follow
methods in all their trade relations whose
sincerity and pronounced uprightness
appeal at once for popular confidence and
favor, and which latter are in turn fos-
tered by the aim to secure and maintain
at whatever cost the most satisfactory
results. Such aims and methods are the
most effective trade builders, and they
explain the already we'll established
popularity Of Alice & Shepherd in and
around Rising Sun since beginning bust
ness scarcely two years ago. Alice &
Shepherd are sales agents for this vicinity
for the celebrated CIPHER incubator re-
garded by everyone using itas being the
best on the market

JOSEPH Z. BRITroN.
GROCERIES, FRUIT, VEGETABLES

Carrying constantly select stocks OF
staple and fancy groceries. but making a
speciality of supplying the local demand
for fruit and vegetables in season, the
establishment conducted by Joseph f.
Britton is an important factor in main
tanning superior market conditions in the
food lines. During the fruit and vege-
table season shipments from the leading
Baltimore produce houses are being con-
stantly received, thereby affording patrons
the invaluable advantages arising from
productions that are always fresh from
the garden aud orchard. AS a result of
these advantages, already we'll estab-
lished, a nice business is done which
grows constantly each season. Joseph E.
Britton began business in Rising Sun
three years ago, during which, period he
has established an enviable reputation for
integrity and reliability in all his repre-
sensations and performances, and has
won as consequence the esteem and
regard of the community. His business
can be ranked among Rising Suns pro-
gressive enterprises, for sales and patron
age keep on increasing steadily. surely
and satisfactorily.

W. LOUIS RYAN.
GENERAL CONTRACTOR.


Ability to read plan aud expertness
with the saw and square are requisites
only from the purely mechanical stand
point, but to achieve successful career
and an enviable reputation in his business
the contractor must combine with these
qualifications integrity of motive and
performance, in order that reliability may
always be the feature Of the results
obtained. In the career of w. Louis
Ryan, who has spent life time at build
ing construction throughout this section,
the element of reliability has ever been
prominent in all his trade relations, SO
that, naturally, there exists pronounced
preference for his services among leading
and influential property owners, especially
among that class who appreciate honest
work and who has learned from exper.
fence that it is the only kind of work
worth paying for. or worthy of a moments
consideration. So many and so varied
have been Mr.. Ryan's efforts as a con.
tractor and builder during his career in
this community that it would be imprac-
ticable to give anything like complete
list of the buildings constructed or re.
modelled. From the many, however, q
few only will be selected which demon.
strates his ability to execute, and these
indicate at the same time the sources Of
recognition and preference for his ser.
vices. These are the Elkton High School
at Elkton, Nd; the Calvert NJ. E.
Church; the homes of Jesse Cameron, ].
M. Sterrett and Mrs. E. Pyle at Rising
Sun; the handsome residences of ]. J.
Hanna, at Korner Ketch, and of Joseph
P. Wright, at Perryville, and others oil
like character located on the farms, and
in the villages and hamlets of the sur
rounding country. W. Louis Ryan grew
up at the carpenters trade under the
direction of his father. Samuel P. Ryan,
with whom he was associated for years
under the firm name of Samuel P. Ryan
& Son, acquiring sole ownership aud
management of the business three years
ago. Mr.. Ryan is among Cecil county's
worthy citizens and business men and, as
mechanic, possesses the resourcefulness
of years of practical experience during
which valuable knowledge and excellent
Judgment have been acquired. These
qualities. with mechanical ability. are the
contractors most valuable asset. and they
appeal at once to the thoughtful property
owner as being the only true source of
satisfactory results.

SAMUEL HAMILTON.
POST MASTER.

Since the local mail service is con
tributing factor to community's impor-
tance as trade center aud becomes a
positive feature when efficiently admin.
istered it is but natural that there be con-
tanned in this review of Rising Sun some
mention of its postmaster upon whom
rests the responsibility of satisfactorily
maintaining the mail facilities. Mr.. Saml.
Hambleton who has discharged the duties
of Rising Suns postmaster continuously
since February, 1900. is a native Of Cecil
county, near Rising Sun, aud has been
associated with the people of this section
all his life aud has always been regarded
as among the esteemed and worthy citi-
Gems Of the community. In his official
capacity as postmaster courtesy and
promptness have always characterized the
service rendered, and his disposition to
accommodate reaches to the limits of the
postal regulations, which have always
been strictly interpreted and invariably
applied without distinction or discrimi-
nation. Mr.. Hambleton has always been
consistent member of the republican
party aud although rewarded by his party
for his loyalty to its principles he has
demonstrated the wisdom of his selection
to being Rising Suns postmaster by an
administration which receives constantly
the commentator of the entire COM
munity.

One of the most frequent and annoying con
ditions that beset humanity is Catarrh Of the Bile
Ducts. There are several little ducts leading from
the Liver and Gall Bladder that unite into one
main or Common Bile Duct which carries the
bile and other fluid into the intestines. When
there is Catarrhal condition Of these ducts the
whole system is affected and all kinds of near
feelings are experienced. Ordinary liver pills
and powders fail to relieve this condition. An
eminent physician professor in Columbus
Ohio, Medical Collegedwrote the prescription from
which Rydales Liver Tablets are made, and they
never fail to relieve this very common condition.

Court Stenographers

In these days of rapid motion il
all directions, physical, business, anc
educational, the shorthand writel
has become indispensable. Time wa.
when the the testimony given il
courts had to be taken down by the
slow and cumbrous process of long
hand. No more, however, will this
method return. Stenography has
abridged time and labor spent in
+ litigation, and if it is not absolutely
correct in its renderings, it is at least
as nearly so as the slower process it
has displaced. In both mistakes
will happen" and occasionally the
newspapers spring a bunch of them
on the public, at the expense of the
swift writer's. But that is a story
by itself.
The court stenographer is worthy
of her hire. We use the feminine
term because in Lamoille county this
duty has fallen upon the gentler sex for
a number Of years. Never does she
earn it more fully than when an ex
cited lawyer and a still more excited
witness clash in a cross-examina-
ton. To be asked to read off readi-
lv what has thus been written down
without allowing the grass to grow
under the pencil sometimes tests the
ability Of the most expert stenog-
rapher. Whenit is remembered that
one can articulate distinctly five hun
dred words a minute, and that the
most rapid writers do not skip along
beyond three hundred, it will be adj
mitted that the office of TIE court
stenographer is no sinecure.
So you who may be attending
county court, either as a Juror, wit
ness, or even spectator, and see the
young lady busily engaged in making
nieroglyphics do not think she has a
'cinch," even if her pay is eight or
ten per, but rather think of the great
strain her nerves are put to in oruer
that she may get the exact words
than are being rapidly enunciated and
not misconstrue an important sem
-ence.

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION

Since our last issue Congressman
Foster has announced that he is not,
and will not be, a candidate forthe
Senate for the unexpired term of Sen
ator Proctor.
Had this announcement been made
three weeks earlier there is no doubt
that Mr.. Foster would have received
an uncontested denomination for
Congress at the hand of the next
district convention. His friends from
one end of the District TO the other
begged, plead, urged and argued
with all the persistency possible to
induce him to abandon his effort to
ride two horses at the same time !;
but he persisted until, as everyone
could well forsee would be the case,
another entry has heen made in the
Congressional race and to-day it is
impossible to forecast the result.
Hon. Frank Fish, his opponent, it
is said, is assured by forces potential
in Rutland county that he will have
that county solid, and if, as he
stoutlv insists will be the case, he
shall have his own county solid, he
only requires "a votes from the other
five counties in the district to Sc
cure his nomination. Here are the
figures:
Total number of Delegates, 35S
Necessary for choice $50
Ru land County has 81
Addison County has 65-l56
Additional votes necessary 24'l
Mr.. Fish starts off with a VERY
strong newspaper backing. So far
as we have yet observed, nearly
every paper in the district has given
Mr.. Fish a most excellent endorse
nent and it is generally conceded
hat he is an eminently fit man for
he posi- ion.
Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Fish are both
assuring their respective friends of
success, but at this writing the care
al prognosticator will be slow in
a certain victory for eli her
gentleman until further develop
