There is more catarrh in this sec ton of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by cor stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incuyaole. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops tc teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes- timonials.

convention and was in the house and |
senate almost continuously till 1847 |
when he was elected to the U. S. |
Senate and served a term of six
years. He was a great advocate of
the free school system and in 1929
took prominent and leading part in
getting law passed at the legis-
lature regulating that thing. Was
a member of the firm of P. & E.
Spruance which did large CONNER
cial business and came in possession
of a great deal of property and died
in Smyrna Feb. 18th, 1863 at the age
of 78.
Judge Spruance Worthy Offspring.
William C. Spruance was born in
Smyrna April End, 1881, got college
education and went to read law with
Joseph G. Comegys, afterward Chief
Justice Comegys, in Dover, for a
time, and graduated at law school
in 1852, after which he finished his
reading law with George B. Bodney
an eminent lawyer of New Castle.
He married Miss Spotswood of New
Castle and has three sons, one Arthur
W. also prominent lawyer of this
city, and VIM. Corbit who also has
a son VIM. Corbit which would indi-
cate that they intended to perpetuate
that family name. Judge Spruance
has been quite prominent as sue
cessful lawyer and is near the close
of twelve year term on the Bench.
Horace Spruance married Miss Nc
Crackern of Pencader Hundred and
occupied the old home farm near
Clayton till his sad and untimely
death, being killed by the cars at
Clayton in October, 1882. He was a
jolly, open, frank, free spoken kind
of man and liked fun and people
liked him. My first recollection of
VIM. c. Spruance was in Registers
Hotel in New Castle while l was at
tending Court with my father in 1854,
when my father pointed him out tC
me, as the young lawyer from
Smyrna. Knowing that l knew most
of the Smyrna people and never lost
sight of him from that time anC
strange to say he and Chief Justice
Lore who was a school boy with me
at the same school in Cantwell''
Bridge in 1916 are the only two law
yers to whom I ever paid a fee.-

A Maharaiah,s Revsnna.

A maharanee of Nepaul committed
suicide in horror at the Disagreement
which an attack Of smallpox had
caused in her features. The mahara-
jah. who was passionately attached to
her, first wreaked his vengeance on
the physicians who had attended her
in her illness. Then he flew at higher
game. Out of the great temple he
brought the idols. placed loaded can
non before them and bade gunners fire
In terror at the proposed blasphemy
they refused. Thereupon the mahara
jah hanged several of them. The sur
vivors then submitted. and the guns
were fired and the idols blown tC
pieces.-Leipsic Missionsblatt.
