FISHING Outlook.

Preparations are under full Roadway
for the coming season. and already some
Of our fishermen have gone down the bay
to meet the shad as they come up from
the southern waters.
The prospects for a godd season are
promising, and shad il is said, are show

Resumss Operations.

The Baltimore, Peach Bottom Slate
Company with extensive quarries at Car
diff began operations last week after
several months of idleness. The Com
pany has changed the method of operating
their quarry and have driven long tun-
mel from point near the Ludwig quarry
IN the side of ridge. The tunnel is SxIo
#. and is about GOO #. long and will be
extended as their work progresses. The
plan is to work the quarry after the
method used in Wales, where the most
successful slate mining is carried on from
the underground method rather than a
deep hole straight d0wn as is now the
common practice in the quarries of Delta,
Slate Hill and Cardiff. In this way no
top is removed and it is believed to be less
expensive and dangerous. The Company
has new manager in the person of c. F.
Guild, Of Boston, Hartford Democrat.

a Great Success Here.

The local demonstration Of the now
famous Root Juice medicine win be
brought to close tomorrow.
The Campaign of health, as it has
been aptly called, was a success from
the start and the great medicine that
has recently effected the most aston
ishing cures in all parts of the coun-
try will live in the memory of many
in this city for years to come.
Hundreds of bottles have been sold
and scores of people who were among
the first to obtain 1t are now blessing
the day they read the first reports of
It's strange and wonderful cures.
Persons who had not enjoyed meal
for years have since sat at their ia
bles with hearty appetite and
healthy stomachs. Others who were
crippled with rheumatism and for who
the pain and soreness of that disease
had made life a burden, are now
walking about enjoying the first free
dom from misery in years.
Still others who were victims OF
weak or disordered kidneys, or who
suffered from backache and urinary
troubles, headaches and other ailments
attending arrangements OF the stom
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels, are
now in the best of health proclaim
ing to all they know, the great health
giving power of the scientists discov
err.
If there are any persons in the city
suffering from the above named ills
and there are doubtless some, it will

town is certainly overwhelming.
Any information regarding the ROOF
