Backache Is Discouraging
But Not So Bad If You Know How
To Reach The Cause

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or loft. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bal
kidneys. Belding people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case.
Mrs. E. F. Phillips, 214 State St.,
Belding, says: Several years ago !
was troubled quite badly with kidney
ailment These organs were all out
of order and / suffered greatly with a
dull, constant ache and soreness in
the small of my back. / was dizzy
felt lanquid and run down. My kid
neys acted irregularly and annoyed
me in different ways. / got Doan's
Kidney Pills at Wortley & Frerch's
drug store and they cured me. Just
recently my little year old boy was
bothered with his kidneys. He had
no control over their action. I gave
him Doan's Kidney Pills and they
soon put his kidneys in good shape
and gave him the desired results"

AN EPIDEMIC OF 1895.

A dire disease prevailed among the
cattle and hogs of the colony in 1896,
and food became scarce and dear. On
the Eastern Shore, owing to the abun-
lance of fish and game the scarcity
VAS not so much felt as in other parts
of the province, but the settlers were
much discouraged and many went to
Virginia and the Carolinas. Great dis
may was caused by the Crown assess
ment of 9133 for the defense of the
colony of New York against the
French and Indians, and a committee
was appointed to show the authorities
that Maryland was too far off to be
a party in the strife.
"The first post route in the province
and probably in the country was es-
tablished in 1896, from "Newton's
Point on Western Shore to Aliens
Mill, to Leonard Town, over the Pot
exon to Geo. Lingan's, to Larkin's, to
Annapolis, across the bay to Kent, to
Williamstadt, to Daniel Toaf's, to
Vim. Peterson's to New Castle, to
Philadelphia" The postman was to
travel the route eight times a year,
and had salary of so pounds ster-
ling.
About 1894 a new courthouse was
built on Dividing Creek, about five
miles from Pocomoke City at place
still known as Courthouse Hill. There
is no record of the location of any
courthouse previous to this. In 1866
court was held at the house of Thomas
Pool, at Manskin.
The vestries exercised jurisdiction
in many minor matters and it is prob
able there was no courthouse building
until 6e4, At this court, King Daniel,
Of the Nanticokes, with his retinue, APP
peared and made complaint that a
white man, John Parker by name, was
trespassing, and building on land
owned by King Daniel at Mattapony,
q point on the Pocomoke river seven
miles below Snow Hill.
"a commission of four Indians and
four white men were appointed by the
court to investigate the matter. The
Indians seem always to have been
protected in their rights and not to
have given serious trouble to the set
tiers

"Some of these Indians fingered
long on the Eastern Shore. In 1855
reports came to Maryland that Lam
caster, Pa, had been burned by the
French and Indians. Robert and John
Henry went to Indiantown, where a
remnant of the Nanticoke tribe still
lived, to summon their chief men to
Snow Hill for conference. The COM
n.ittee reported 100 souls men, wom-
Ell and children.
efforts were made to persuade
them to leave the State, and supplies
we're offered for the journey to New
York, where some of the tribe had
previously joined the Shawnees a.
Binghamton, but they answered with
one voice that here they were born
and here they would die. Finally
however, they went thither.

count of the stock of Mr.. John Dor.

mentioning "ironware, hoes, axes

| hoods" -quite varied assortment
doubtless brought from London ant
up the Pocomoke in vessels of small
tonnage.
"The first place of worship built il
Snow Hill was built of wood on thu
river bank and was, of course, an Eng
lish church. There is no mention of {
church building until 1894, but Ions
tefore services were held in privat'
houses by Revs. M. Teackle of Acco
mac, and Mr.. Hewitt, of Shipley, wht

1886. Both of these clergymen have
descendants living in the State.
In 1896 county records show pay
ment made laborers for intending thu
causeway in the mesh opposite Snow
Hill Landing" At this time ordel
was given that all roads leading t.
parish churches should be marked
with three notches cut in the trees OF
sides of the route. People were be
ginning to use roads instead of tn
river.

eler published in the Farmers Regis
Ter, Vol. v, we have some details in
regard to the country and the people
of the Pocomolxe in 1746.
Indians are plentiful in Snow Hill
town. The parson, Rev. Mr.. Glasgow,
who has the only brick house in the
town, is a good, conversable man, as
is also the Presbyterian minister, a
Scotchman of which nation many are
settled hereabout. The church and all
the houses are built of wood, but some
have brick chimneys.
"The town is irregularly laid out a.
long the river bank, and Saturday
presents somewhat the appearance OF
an English country fair, as the coun-
try people come on that day to barter
produce with the town merchants
Few of the men wear wigs, but they
excel in horsemanship and hunting
The women are pretty and seem nota-
BILE housewives. Everything wears
the marks of cleanliness and industry
in their houses.
l1OMBSTONES ARE FEW.
The ancient churchyards on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, though
filled with graves contain but few
llegible inscriptions. Scarcity of stone
doubtless caused the colonists to mari
their graves in many cases with wood
en- slabs, which soon persisted. The
oldest gravestones are of sandstone
and for the most part, owing to tn
action of the climate, long since il
Ilegible. Here and there is found ;
marble slab, doubtless brought from
England at great expense.

NEWBERRY's EXIT FROM THE
SENATE

The resignation from the United
States Senate Of Truman H. New
berry, a Senator from the State of
Michigan, will carry with it no re
grets from any source.
It will be remembered that New
berry's right to his seat In that body
vas questioned from the first and
long contest followed. This fight to
unseat him was made by all Of the
Democratic, and many Of the Repub-
lican senators.
At the end Of the contest the Sen
ste by narrow margin voted to let
the Michigan member retain his seat,
which had been shown by convincing
evidence was purchased outright
Even the sworn statement from his
managers Of campaign contributions
and expenses carried with it the
staggering fact that more than $780,
10000 had been thus used.
Newberry should have had enough
decency to resign at the time these
charges were made and proven, but
he held on in face Of all criticism.
He would probably have continued
to resist all efforts to Dust him anth

ton In November sealed his chance OF
holding on. In that election the
Newberry issue wa. made clear cut

erat was elected to the Senate over

OF those Senators who had former
