DEATH BY ONE'S OWN HAND.—This
is precisely what we know would hap
pen us if we had said anything in our
advertisements that our slices could
not make good. We shall leave it to
persons wearing our shoes to say if we
are in danger of committing the above
dread act. J. 11. MUSHED & SON.
—lmprovements of all kinds are a
common sight in Millheim this week.
John M. Itoad is at work on the new

state in connection with inserting his

town, which somehow was spread
through the neighborhood, is false,

—On Monday a half dozen or more
commercial drummers were in town.
One of thera was If. Rosenblueth,agent
for the well-known tobacco firm, D.
Buchner & Co., of New York. He
made quite a sensation among the male
population of town by the novel adver
tising scheme of issuing gratuitously a
certificate to every man entitling the
holder to a pack of first-class smoking
tobacco, to be Jilted in Spigelmyer's
store. This of course gave his goods a
good introduction and the likelihood is
ihsut J# will make some, heavy sales
here,

hart stalled their summer schools on

legs ,uid climbing a liign tree, was iu

two koepeis, one of them loudly sound
ing the bugle so as to give fair notice
to young A met lea to be on hand and
seethe show. Most likely the grind
orgali will be the next spring attrac

tnonials. Date of tn xt visit will he
from May 10th at op. m. to the lltli
at 7 o'clock, p. m., Tuesday and
Wednesday. l'lcase remember the
date.
—There is no good reason wliyt he
Millheim Hook ami Ladder company
should not lie as active and well-drilled
as some of the other organisations in
town. A body of men being organ
ized for a purpose, and for as laudable
a purpose as that of saving property
from the clutches of the fire fiend,
should not lav idle and thoughtlessly
neglect the duties they are charged
with by the authorities and citizens of
the borough. It is liy no means pleas
ant for us to repeatedly come back to
this subject, but we believe in persever
ance and know that little drops ot wat
er falling on a stone for years will
finally wear a hole iu that stone. We
earnestly hope that this little item will
have the desired effect and give the fire
boys a new impetus.
—The Suubnry lh mocmt, in a com
plimentary article about one of its
promptly paying subscribers winds up
with the following remarks, which tit
our case so precisely that we copy them
for the benefit of those whom it mat
concern. It says: "If all our sul
scribevs would follow Mr. Reimeusny
der's example we would l>e prosperous
and happy. But the reverse is the
case. The bulk of country newspaper
subscribers pay at their convenience,
thus making it very inconvenient La
the publisher, keeping him continually
"hard up." In truth, we are virtually
a capitalist, whose capital is all loaned
out without interest. The richest man
with such assets would be just as poor
as the proverbially "poor printer."
Two DEATHS. —It falls to our lot
this week to record the death of two
well-known persons, both of Penn
township.
Mrs. Annie Smith, of Smith Town,
whose death oecuired on last Thursday,
the -tst inst., was the widow of Fran
ces Smith, who proceeded his wife to
the better world about six years ago.
Ttie subject of this notice was born in
Lebanon county in Wkl, and came to
lVnn township when a little girl of
three years, and has spent all her life
time in this valley. She was the moth
er of seven children, has fifteen grand
children and 21 great grandchildren.
She was a consistent uii mlier of the
Evangelical Association for forty years
and her main desire, during the last
years of her hfe was to reach the heav
enly land. Ste had reached the ripe
age of *4 years, !• months and 10 days.
Her remains were hurried in Heck
man's cemetery, in Gregg township,
Revs.Sliatnbach andVearick ofiiciating.
Elias Musser, who died on Tuesday
forenoon, about 10 o'clock, at his resi
dence. the tollgate west of town, suffer
ed with a combination of diseases all
winter,the predominating trouble being
rheumatism. For several days he lin
gered at death's door and was finally
released from his sufferings onTuesday.
Deceased was known by nearly every
body, having had charge of the tol'gate
for over 15 years and for many years he
had lieen attending all public sales, pic
nics and other public gatherings with a
candy and peanut stand. He leaves a
wife and 4 children to mourn the loss
of a kind husband and father. He al
so had quite a number of relations, sis
the Musser frieml shaft is very large in
this section. He was a member ol
Penns Creek Lutheran congregation
and died iu the faith of a good chris
tian. His age was 56 years. The fun
eral takes place this (Thursday) morn
ing.
RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT.—
Speaking of Millheim's growth it is ad
mitted by ail who are In a position to
judge impartially that this old town
has made remarkable strides in the past
ten years. To look back over that
span of time, it seemed then as though
Millheim was being stunted. There
was hardly any building boom, any en
terprise or business of consequence,and
the town was in a rude, disorderly and
dormant state. Not until the iron
horse plowed its way up from Union
county, through the mountains, did life
and vigor in.iKe itself manifest. It was
then that our citizens saw strength de
veloping itself day by day and our busi
ness men gathered up energy and enter
prise. New buildings went up making
an entirely new addition to town, now
the lower end of Penn street and Wa
ter street. Counting from Israel C'on
fer's residence southward, we notice
twenty-one new private residences,
beautifully located, and some of them
very handsome, on Penn street and six
new houses on Water street, running
parallel with Penn. Besides that there
are two lira* brick churches on that
street, the Lutheran and Evangelical,
both having been built within the last
ten jears. Main street also exper
ienced a general revolution since the
fire of a few years ago. With a few ex
ceptions every building on that thor
oughfare has been renovated, and sev
eral new and line business houses were
erected. The two churches on jl/ain
street, the M. E. and U. It., were le
modeled and are now as good as new.
North street followed in the general
awakening and now numbers some of
the nicest houses in town. In addition
to the private buildings we gained
slowly, but surely, in manufacturing
enterprises, having now two lirst-class
planing mills, and a large-sized hosiery
factory. The prospects are t hat there
wili be about six or eight new houses
built this summer ami that by means
ot the Knitting Mills we will "have an
in flux of people up.4 a consequent in
crease in business and residences, With
push and determination ou the part of
our business men, Millheim is bound tc
become the most prosperous and thriv
ing spot this side of the mountain,

KDIIHII .lor I;NA l. :—Having been r>-
qinstcd to write lVr your pujicr some of tin*
experiences of tlio trip I propose to jfi\c ex
pression to a few of the nhscrv atioiis made,
al-o some of tlie impressions,
Natiuallv travel in litis <ll reel ion travers*
es I'.altimore ami New York hut familiarity
with these eities on tin* part of your iva<let's
foritiil anv fitriher mention here.
Passing through Richmond, of wliieli t'ity
I w ill speak Intel'ill this article, .low n into
North I 'arolina, I he objective point, I fottinl
tn\ sell right in the tohaci-o hi lt, w here that
artiele is of tine ipiality, the staple erop anil
;i natural sispieuee, the eoloreil population
very strong.
|i| lie Will;; is in a I it'll copper ore ilistt i> l
of considerable territory ami w here \ eins at
places crop out on the top. Saw several
shafts that are sunk to a ilepth of the ore,
about Ml f.et, the other aKillt 2A feet, Ullil
ore assays front 'JO to AO per cent, with veins
given tis King from to A feet thick ami
eontinuous. There is no railroail nor smelt
er tin re \et, hoth of which tlie ore ilistriet
nee,ls to facilitate the handling and ship
ping lit the products of the mines, ami the
a.grieultnlists very much mini the rn:ul too.
A Mr. Rikcr, a very enterprising Northern
man, from this state, who is largely inter
ested in ore properties there, itas forimsl a
company ami is now building a railroail
from t'larksv ille, Va., to the ore ilistriet,
with charter privileges to littrhaui, N. C.
lie is busily engaged in grading the roail
be,l, anil about one half of the grading K*-
t vve, ii Clarksv ille ami ltlue Winy is now
ilone.
Property can yet he Knight very reason
able ami I think it is the right thing for in
v esters to ilo to acquire interest ill ore lanils
there. The laml itself is worth the prices it
can he purchase.l for now, is in a tine,
healthy location, anil the spriny season
ahoat one month earlier than here. That
the completion of the railroail with the in
tlu\ of Northern enterprise ami capital will
eauseayener.il boom is apparently without
iplest ion.
Apple trees there were all in hloom on the
loth instant, ami all other vcyctatioti equal
ly advanced. I.ami throughout Viryinia
ami North Carolina call be bouyht for from
A to l."> dollars per acre, any amount of it
for sale and no question, a larye part of it
is all riyht if treated rationally.
You find places in eleyaiit condition, the
buildinys, fences and land, riyht among
lands that ;it tirst siyht and no further in
formation would seem as prohuhly irre
deetuable, eatised by ruinous eroppiuy until
exhausted without application of manure or
lime. The curse of that country Jin a meas
ure has been the colored share farmer who
admirably does burlesque farming, is too
shift less, thriftless, simply pltimleritiy the
soil until it refuses to yield coiupt'iisutiiiy
crops.
Some times we hear of men yoiny South
buyiny larye tracts of land and losiuy their
money. These parties purchase much more
land than they have money to pay for, give
mortyaye for their indebtedness, have uo
means left to improve their laml : result,
the mortyaye accumulations wipes theui
out.
A conversation with an intelligent mer
chant. from Richmond verifi<nl a the alsivc oK
servatioii; is good authority, haviny K-eti
reared on a farm west of that city, is con
versant with the wants of farming ami the
landed interestsofth.lt St. tie, quoted person
al instances where parties took this plan
allil also eiiutueratisl ilistanees of a
reverse course taken with strikiny success.
He said, "inv est half your capital in land,
the balance take ainl exjtend in improving
the satue. hy that time your farm will !><•
worth three times the cost of outlay in land
in the tirst instance and in addition thereto
be then in a money makiny, produciny con
dition."
Taking it in yenerally my judyeiuetit is
that the colored race docs improve slow Iv
in morals and culture, in some sections to a
yrcater deyn-e than in others, in outlyiny
districts their vices, shiftless condition and
ncylect of school privileges King upon in
quiry and observation of a lower standard
than where they come more in contact with
the outside world. They have the yeueral
reputation down there of (lisdaiiiiiiy manual
lal>r after they acquire a fair education and
(ii'ti'l. Cameron, no doubt, was riyht a few
years ayo when he said their eilucational
training should K> of a dual character, in
dustrial and mental.
The people generally want emigration
from the North, particularly do they want
our farmers to conn*, want no political ad
venturers. Tin' liow-eomer has the privil
ege of selecting his own society, character
ami attainments qualifying however, if In
takes t>> the low classes and negroes he
is quietly permitted to remain there. There
is a certain generosity and chivalrous
courtesy that we do not find among us here
and those dispositions coupled with the
strong desire for men to conn* and invest
among them are at least some of the half
hidden springs prompting to make matters
as agreeable as possible to the Northern
sojourner.
On my return I determined to do up Rich
mond, Va., before going home. It is a
thriving, bustling eity, clean, apparently
healthy, situated on an elevation above the
James Kiver. Steamers come 11 j> to the
eastern end of the eity, a railway centre,
tine public buildings, many tine churches,
the residence portions tine and much of it
new. The place bristles with historic
points, mostly relating to the late civil war.
Libby prison is now used for a piano ware
house and looks to be good for many years
to come. The oldest church in the State
and pew therein from which Patrick Henry
made his memorable Revolutionary address
was anions the interesting historic points
visited. After visiting or seeing about all
the points of interest, a party of three of us
ealh-d ontiov. Lee: found him both a genial,
courteous gentleman of martial bearing and
tine presence.
He appears to feel gratified that sectional
ism is fast becoming a matter of history,
that capital and fanners are pouring into
his state and told us that about three mill
ion dollars were invested by Northernmeii
in that state within the thirty days prior to
our visit.
A view from the Capitol dome is grand ;
the view is unobstructed for :i." miles in all
directions around you, and the guide points
out the localities of such military events
that occurred within this circle during the
late war and explained the events with
their purpose. Intent and bearing in the en
deavors to enter the city.
"Westward the star of empire rolls," but
it now too rolls southward, and will con

The Importance of purifying the blood can
not be overestimated, for without pure blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and we ask you to try Hood's
Dor* I ilia F Sarsaparilla. It strengthens
r CCUIId.r and builds up the system,
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
nood's Sarsaparilla pecul- ~j-_ l+ecxlf
lar curative powers. No ■ ® 115611
other medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy Hood's Sarsaparilla <lo out bo induced to
take any other instead. It Is a Peculiar
Medicine, and is worthy your confidence.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists.
