Tobacco Growers Meet.

The Calvert County Tobacco Growers
Association held its annual spring meet
ing in the Courthouse in Prince Freder-
lex Wednesday. and the large crowd of
representative farmers was addressed by
ex-Internal Revenue Collector F. Snow
den Hill, of this county; w. Frank
CLANCY, of Anne Arundel county: Sec
rotary Frank Weems, of the State To-
bacco Association.
Mr.. Hill stated that in the effort of
the Tobacco Growers Association to
better prices for the planter the asso-
citation did not have the CO. operation of
the commission merchants as a whole,
but between the two there is constantly
mDre or less conflict The former, he
said, is not now depending altogether
on the commission merchant as in other
days, since there are banking institu-
tions in every county where he can take
his warehouse receipts and get a loan
on them and not force the sale Of his
tobacco when the commodity is down in
price. The tobacco buyers, he claimed.
we're more friendly to the association
than the commission merchants.

Resolutions.

At the banquet given by the Charles
County Bar in honor of Judge Crane al
the New Wills Hotel, La Plata, Md, on
the 21st instant, the following resolu'
tions were adopted by the members:

a Sad Death.

Mrs Mary Joanna Brown, wife of
Mr. VIM E Brown, of Halls, died at
Providence Hospital. Washington, D.
c., on Friday morning of last week,
after an illness of several weeks.
When Death comes amongst US and
takes away any one, it is seldom his
work is not viewed with sadness, but
when he fastens his grip on young
wife and mother, one who, it seems, has
so much to live for, who is so much
needed to raise and care for her chill
dren, Notwithstanding many other
duties. as in this case, he has done his
bitterest work.
However, We are told everything is
done for the best and so we must judge
in this instance, for, while she is COM
monty known as dead, in reality she is
not dead but is resting, a rest which we
all desire after this life of trials and
miseries, and no one can be more de-
serving of that everlasting rest than a
mother who has led so noble and chris
tiar life.
The deceased was daughter of the
late MIR. and Mrs John G. Wyvill, who
for many years resided near this town,
and was sc years of age. Her funeral
was held from st. Mary's Catholic
Church, this town, on Sunday morning
with requiem high mass, and the inter-
ment was made in Mt. Carmel cemetery.
The pallbearers were Messrs. j. Arthur
Wells, Richard Coffren, o. P. Mullikin,
Jefferson Jones, Leonard Deale and
VIM. r. Buck.
Il husband and five small children
survive her, and the most profound
sympathy is felt for them.

the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in bottle and take . tea
spoonful dose after each meal and at

The above is considered by an emf

Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all
forms of Urinary difficulties. This mix

tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them
to filter and strain the uric acid and
other waste matter from the blood

Some persons who suffer with the

much confidence in this simple mixture,
yet those who have tried it say the re-
suits are simply surprising, the relief
being effected without the slightest in

having satisfied himself that the facts as
Sylvia put them, he had assured his ancee that he

and Mr.. Pckwck, after kissing the old
lady as aforementioned, was standing
under the mistletoe, looking with very
pleased countenance on all that was pass
ing around him, when the young lady
with the black eyes, after a little whisper
ing with the other young ladies, made
sudden dart forward, and, putting her arm
round Mr.. Pickwick's neck, saluted him
affectionately on the left cheek; and be-
fore Mr.. Pickwick distinctly knew what
was the matter, he was surrounded by the
whole body and kissed by every one of
them.
1t was a pleasant thing to see Mr.,
Pickwick in the center of the group, now
pulled this way, and then that, and first
kissed on the chin and then on the nose,
and then on the spectacles, and to hear
the peal of laughter which was raised on
every side; but it was still more pleas
ant thing to see Mr.. Pickwick, blinded
shortly afterward with a silk handker-
chief, falling up against the wall, and
scrambling into corners and going through
all the mysteries of blind mans buff, with
the utmost relish for the game, until at
last he caught one of the poor relations;
and then had to evade the blind man
himself, which he did with nimbleness
and agility that elected the admiration
and applause of all beholders. The poor.
relations caught just the people whom they
thought would like it; and when the game
tagged, got caught themselves. When
they were all tired of blind mans buff
there WIS a great game at snap-dragon.
and when fingers enough were burned
with that and all the rasins gone, they sat
down by the huge fire of blazing logs to
a substantial supper and a mighty bowl of
wassail something smaller than an ordi-
nary wash-house copper.
"This," said Mr.. Pickwick, looking round
him, this is, indeed, comfort"
"Our invariable CUSTOM" replied Mr..
Wardle. Everybody sits down with us
on Christmas eve as you see them now
servants and all; and here we wait till the
clock strikes twelve, to usher Christmas
in, and while away the time with forfeits
and old stories. Trundle, my boy, rake
up the fire."
