Sparks From FUckerville. March 10. Mr. Editor. Know ing that you can't run a paper without help, we take our pen to give you a few items from this vicinity. The last week's storm was the worst for years. The snow was said to ba 17 inches deep, and the wind, which was very high, piled it to the depth of 6 or 7 feet in places. Our citizens had to shov el and climb to keep on the top side. Many of the lanes and by ways are completely blocked yet. Whips Cove is noted for good roads in summer, but at this sea son of the year the bottom often falls out. ThePantacostal meeting appoint ed by Rev. Baugher for Friday evening last was a failure; but preachers and mail carriers are excusable at such times. Our merchant, JohnPlessinger, has partly erected anewice house, aud has it filled with ten tons or more of first class ice but the late thaw found it minus of a roof. Don't know what effect it will have on it. One thing, certain, the ice won't sour. Howard Mellott, our newly elected constable, has been haul ing logs and gettiug in lumber on purpose to build a new barn. For the last week or more, he has been spending his evenings sing ing that solemn old tune "Rocka by baby, on the tree top." From the appearance of the grain fields, binders and steam threshers will be sold at a dis count the coming harvest. Eggs have taken a drop, but that does not discourage the hens; for they are doing their level best for Eas ter. Hogs are very scarce. It is seldom one is heard to grunt. A large brood sow of Su ire Lay ton 's was taken with paralysis three weeks ago and has been entirely helpless ever' since; eats hearty. Any one informing the Squire the nature of the disease and giv ing him a cure for the same, could depend on his influence and sup port during the coming campaign providing he was on the Demo cratic ticket. I, X. L. Could Hot Breathe. Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, and other throat and luug troubles are quickly cured by One Minute Cough Cure. One Minute Cough Cure is not a mere expectorant, which gives only temporary relief. It softens and liquifies the mucous, ' draws out the inflamation and removes the cause of the disease. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. "One Min ute Cough Cure will do all that is claimed for it," says Justice of the Peace, J. Q. Hood, Crosby, Miss. "My wife could not get her breath and was relieved by the first dose. It has teen a benefit to all my family." The series of storms which cul minated in last Wednesday's del uge of snow, rain and sleet has al ready cost the city of New York 1700,000, a greater amount than ever had been paid before for snow removal1 The largest amount ev er expended previovsly duringone season for cleaning the streets of snow was $488,000. Dangers of Pneumonia. A cold at this time if neglected isliable to cause pneumonia which is so often fatal, and oven when tho patient has recovered the lungs are weakened, makingthem peculiarly susceptible to the de velopment of consumption. Fo ley's Houey and Tar will stop the cough, heal and strengthen the lungs and prevent pneumonia. AH dealers. , j Hill-Shaw. A very pretty home wedding occured at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Shaw, In Thompson township, on Sunday March 9, 1902, when Mr. Harry B. Hill and Miss Nora E. Shaw, were united in marri age. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. L. Simon, pastor of the Presbyterian church at War fordsburg, at two o'clock in the afternoon, after which an elabor ate dinner was served. The bride was dressed in silver gray trimmed in white satin, and she looked very pretty. The groom was dressed in black. Among the guests were, Wil liam Weaver and family, John May and family, Jacob Weaver and family, Abner Weaver and family, Mrs. Truxel and family, Mrs. George Fisher and family, John M. Pittmau and family, Ar thur Weaver and best girl, Davie Chesnut and Miss Minnie Rossi- ter. The bride was the recipient of many valuable and useful pres ents. The happy couple will soon go to housekeeping in the "parson age" at the Tonoloway Baptist church, and their's will be the home of the preachers. Harry was formerly one of Ful ton county's most successful teachers, and the News joins in wishing him and his bride along, prosperous and happy life. Strikes A Rich Find. I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous dbillity," writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster. N. H., "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They ha.e also kept my wife in excel lent health for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splen did for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family." Try them. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by W. S. Dickson. A Cure and a Fee. In conversation one day about the peculiar views that commer cial men sometimes entertain a bout prof essional services Dr. S. Weir Mitchell told the following story : "A very wealthy man from the west came to consult me about an attack of vertigo. He said that he had just returned from a trip to Europe, where he had consul ted eminent specalists, but they had failed to afford him any per manent relief. 'A physician in London,' he said, 'askd me why I did not make an attempt to be cur ed nearer home. I thought on my way out west I would stopov- fcer to see him.' ' "Ha any physician you have visited looked into your ears?' " I asked. ' "No," was his reply. "I made an examination of his ear, removed some wax and a sub stance that appeared to be hard ened remnants of cotton wool. I sent him away then and told him to come again in a day or tw6. He did. "'Well,' he exclaimed, 'I am cured. How much do I owe you?' " 'About 50,' I replied. "As he drew a check he asked, 'Did you know when you first ex amined my ears that you could cure me? "When I told him that I had a very fair conviction that I could, he said: 'Well, you are a blanded fool. You should have said to ine: "I think I can cure you, and I will do so for $10,000. Nocure, no pay." You would have got your money without a murmur." " 'Oh, I said, 'if you feel that way about it there ai several lit tle charities in which I am inter ested, and" " 'No, no,' he interrupted, 'that is not business. I have my cure, and you have the price you ask. The transaction is closed.' " Cough Settled On Her Lungs. "My daughter had a terrible cough which settled on her lungs" says N. Jackson, of Danville, 111. "We tried a great many remedies without relief, until we gave her Foley's Honey and Tar which cur ed her." Refuse substitutes. All dealers. Locust Grovo. The roads are still in a bad con dition. Abner Mellott has been very ill from an attack of heart trouble. Harry I'lessinger has purchas ed a fine driving horse from Phil ip V. Barton of Brush Creek Val- ey. Lemuel Smith purchased a horse from Israel Hill, that makes its mile in 2J minutes. Miss Jessie Layton, of Clear field is visiting her relatives in this vicinity. While out sleighing a short time ago, a very happy couple had the misfortune to have a "spill-out." No serious accident. The worst thing about it is, the girl says she will not go any more. Ira Smith, our enterprising far mer, has been seen quite often decending the "Point of Rocks." What is the attraction Ira? J. S. Akers has been attending the Christain Endeavor Society at Cedar Grove. Russel Layton was a pleasant caller at Ira Smith's last Sunday evening. John Smith is moving from here to Bedford county. We are sorry to lose you "John." Practically Starving. "After using a few bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cuie my wife received perfect and permanent relief from a severe and chronic case of stomach trouble," says J. R. Holly, real estate, insurance and loan agent, of Macomb, 111. "Before using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she could not eat an ordi nary meal without intense suffer iug. She is now entirely cured, Several physicans and many rem edies had failed to give relief." You don't have to diet. Eat any good food you want, but don't ov erload the stomach. Kodol Dys pepsia Cure will always digest it for you. Pleasant Ridge. . An interesting debate was held at Shanes school Friday 8th inst. by the scholars of that school, on the very interesting question : "Resolved that Washington was a greater man than Lincoln." The Lincoln side won. R. A. Forner, of near Huston town, was a caller at ex-Justice D. P. Deshoug's oneday last week Mr. Fohner broke his axe handle and came down to Mr. Deshong's to get a new one. We do not know whether that was it or not; or whether itwas because theSquire has a couple of pretty girls. Mitch Mellott is home from Johnstown. Wight Was Her Terror. "I would cough nearly all night long," writes Mrs. Chas. Apple gate, of Alexandria, Ind., "and could hardly get any sleep. I had consumption so bad that if I walked a block I would cough frightfully and spit blood, but, when all other medicines failed, three $1.00 bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly cured me aud I gained 58 pounds." It's absolutely guaranteed to cure Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, Bron chitis and all Throat and Lung Troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at W. S. Dick son's drug store. Big Cove Tannery. The usual number of changes of residence will take place among our citizens this Spring. John Pine has moved into the house on Race Corner. Murray Ray went from the John Chamber's proper ty to one of Archie Johnston's houses in the Cove. Among others who will move are Mr. and Mrs. John J. Morton from the Johnston farm to the Baldwin jlace; David Morton will take charge of the Johnston farm; Ephraira Houck goes to the 'Meadow Billy" Patterson farm in the Cove, which is being vaca ted by William H. Paylor, and Elliott Ray moves to the house, now the residence of Rev. Lewis Chambers. Brubaker, the photographer, is with us again. On account of the board of au ditors of Ayr township meeting in our school house, we had no school Monday of last week. There was a smart youth in the rural district, who when the teach er asked him to write a long sen tence wrote A sentence for life. Foley's Honey and Tot cure colds, prevents pneumonia. , Shot Like President McKlnley. Soon after the attempt upon the life of the late President Mc Klnley at Buffalo some army offi cers were discussing in the offi ce of Lieut. Gen. Miles the per centage of recovery from abdomi nal wounds, when the general took part in the conversation. "I presume," he said, "I am one of the few persons so wound ed that ever recovered. On May 3, 1863, while beating back at the head of my regiment, a rush was made by Anderson's men on Hook ers's left wiug near the Chancel- lorville house. I was Btruck by a minie ball, which penetrated my abdomen an inch and a half to the left of the navel, tore through the intestines and lodged in the muscles of the back. "When the surgeon of the regi ment reached me I asked him how long I had to live. In a tone which I thought was very uncon cerned he replied: 'About 48 hours'. I doubted the veractiy of the surgeon on the spot, and told him that I did not think it was as bad as that. He refused to argue the matter with me, and, with the aid of an assistant proceeded to probe for the ball and then sew me up. "Left to ray meditatons, I de termined to fool the doctor. As the days passed my temperature subsided, the wound healed as nicely as could have been expect pected, and in three months' time I was on my feet again. The Medical History of the Civil War' has a full history of the case, which is set down as a most re markable recovery from an inte's tinal wouud." Philadelphia Led ger, . A Severe Cold For Three Months. The following letters from A. J. Nusbaum, of Batesville.Ind., tells its own story. "I suffered for three months with a severe cold A druggist prepared me some medicine and a physician pre scribed for me, ye I did not im prove. I then tried Foley's Hon ey and Tar, and eight doses cured me." Refuse substitutes. All dealers. A Clever Plan. Probably Ray township, in Ma comb county, Mich., has the best gravel roads of any township in that State, says H. S. Earle in Good Roads Magazine. This is the result of the efforts of G. R. Lovejoy, who is such a strong ad ViXsate of good roads that he wouldn't be contented until the highways were what they should be. Mr. Lovejoy prevailed upon the board tu buy a gravel pit; then he urged every farmer to haul a load of gravel home every time he passed the pit and put it on the road in front of his own farm. Once begun, the farmers saw what an improvement gravel is over the annual scraped back, worn out earth. The board then purchased two more pits in dif ferent parts of the township and at the suggestion of Mr. Love joy, offered $1 a day to farmers with teams to haul gravel in win ter and place it on one side of the road one winter and on the side the next. The first winter the farmers turned out strong, and the town ship had t pay for 2,700 days work, which was a big starter. Each year for several years the township has made an appropria tion of from $1,000 to $1,800, and to day practically all of the town ship roads are graveled. This is a cheap but a sure way to get better highways, not, of course equal to those scientifically built by the use of road machines, but a big improvementover scrap ing the dust and the mud from the ditches into the roadway every year. A Hamburg school teacher ro cently undertook to find out what his pupils knew about common things. Out of IL'0 children be tween 10 and 16 years of age, 58 had never seen a flock of sheep, 70 had never seen a violet grow ing, 90 had never heard a nightin gale, 89 had never seen the sun rise, and 33 had never Been it set; 49 had never seen a man plow. He asserts that while city chil dren may know about theaters and concerts, exhibitions, muse ums and stores, hundreds of the simplest things in life are mere words to them that convey no co herent idea. lew Spring Goods!

Paderewski, when told by her royal highness, Princess Vic toria, perhaps the most accom plished musician of all the mem bers of the royal family, that he was "surely inspired." answer ed: "Your royal highness will, I dare say, be surprised when I tell you . I remember the day when I was quite an indifferent player. I was determined, how ever, to be what the world calls a genius, and to be 'a genius I well knew that I must first be a drudge, for genius and drudgery go hand in hand. Genius" Paderewski spoke excitedly "is three-quarters drudgery, that's what genius is. I at one time practiced day after day, year af ter year, till I became almost in sensible to sound beeame a ma chine, as it were. Now 'Pader ewski is a genius, 'says the world!

These egg statistics are from the United States Ceusus Bureau figures: The American hen laid last year 10,000,000,000 eggs. Tho total value, at an average of 10 cents a dozen, was $138,000, 000. The hen's earnings were great er than those of the entire pos.tal system. The sum realized would have paid the expenses of the entire war department. Enough eggs were consumed in New York aloue to pay for anoth er Brooklyn bridge. The total weight of the eggs laid last year was more than 1, 000,000.000 pounds. If the eggs were equally divid ed among the inhabitants of the country each human being would get Ml eggs. The number of chickens in tho United States is estimated at 281, 000,000.
