CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY AUGUST 3, 1899 Additional Local News. Thus They Were Married. An exchange prints the following marriage ceremony, which was said by a Tennessee 'Squire a short timo ago: "Wilt thou take her for thy pard; for better or for worse; to have, to hold, to fondly guard till hauled off in a hearse ? Wilt thou let her have her way, consult her many wishes; make the fire every day and help her wash the dishes? Wilt thou comfort and support her father and mother, Aunt Jemima and Uncle John, three sisters and a brother?" And bis face grew pale and blank; it was too late to jilt; as through the floor he sank, he said: "I wilt."—Nashville Banner. A Freak. Lots of men travel on their mouth singing, or talking, or blowing, but it remained for a young darkey who visited this town, to use his mouth lor a different purpose. Instead of storing music and oratory in it he made it a cold storage for billiard balls, pie plates, etc. It is a tough story to put in print, but it is a solemn fact, wit nessed by dozens of people here, that this cavernous-mugged being stored away four full-sized pool balls at one time in his mouth and closed over them so as to shut them out from view. He also took a small platter like they bring beefsteak to you on at a hotel, and slid it clean out of sight in the cavern he calls a mouth. He must have swallowed a beer keg before he got through, for it became necessary to lock him in the cooler. A close watch was kept however, for fear he might swallow the lockup and escape. —Dansville Breeze. Drunk But Still a Gentleman. The coach was crowded, not a seat being left and three handsome young women and one old lady were stand ing. The man with the new brown suit and the dinged derby which had come in contact with a low bridge or some kind of an obstruction, had im bibed too much and was disposed to wobble in his seat. The three dudes with swell suits, big headed canes and loud neckties sat and giggled like monkeys and made joking remarks about the man who had taken too much. Finely the latter gentleman looked up and saw the old lady standing. He got up instantly, lifted the dinged derby, bowed politely, and said in a kind voice. "Here, mother, take this seat." Then the well dressed man with a superfluity of the cup that cheers, went back and sat on the end of the coal box. Several thoughtful men remarked that it was better to bo drunk than to be a dude.—Ex. He faiil Too Much. Fighting Bob Evans dressed in citizen's clothes, went to church on a Sunday not long ago. Upon en tering tlie house of worship lie seat ed himself in a vacant pew about midway up the aisle. Soon after wards a gentleman and lady walk ed in and seated themselves in the same pew. The gentleman looked ugly at Bob and the lady partly turned her back 011 him. The gentleman stood it as long as he could and then passed a card over to Bob which read as follows: •'! pay $2,500 annually for this pew." Bob glanced at the card and then passed it back with the following written 011 other side: "You pay too damned much." The preacher then announced his text, "It's Blessed to Dwell Together in the House of the Lord," or words to that effect. Bob Burdette to Young Men. My son, when you hear a young man growling and scolding because Moody gets 8200 dollars a week for preaching Christianity, you will perceive that he never worried a minute because Ingersoll gets S2OO a night for preaching atheism. Remember, my boy, the good things in the world are always the cheapest. Spring water costs less than corn whiskey; a box of cigars will buy two or three Bibles; a gallon of old brandy costs more than a barrel of Hour; a ''full hand" at poker often costs a man more in twenty minutes than the church subscription amounts to in three years; a State election costs more than a revival of religion; you can sleep in church every Sunday morning for nothing, if you're mean enough to dead-beat your lodging that way, but a nap in a Pullman car costs you $2 every time; fifty cents for the circus, and a penny for the little ones to put in the missionary box; one dollar for the theatre, and a pair of trous ers frayed at the ends, baggy at the knees, and utterly bursted as to the dome, for the Michigan suffer ers; the dancing lady wlio tries to wear the skirt of her dress under her arm, the waist around her arm, and kicks her slipper over the orchestra chairs every night, gets S6OO a week and the city mission ary gets SSOO a year; a horse race scoops $2,000 the lirst day, and the church fair lasts a week, works twenty-five or thirty of the best women in America to death, and comes out S4O in debt.

EDITOR PRESS: —TheSinnemahoning Liars Club, Jr., held a special meeting last Saturday night, Philip Mead hold ing the hatchet. There was a terrible uproar when Anthony's communica tion was read before the club. Pap Blodget was placed on probation for six weeks, without cause after his re port 011 his visit to Emporium. A col lection was taken and nine cents raised for refeshments. Pap Blodget reported that he came in contact with John Meyers, who holds the champion ship belt in six states, and held him level until Mike Dolan came along, when the old champion took a walk to find reinforcements, which were in Emporium for that especial occasion. He ran against Dalrymple, who was on his way to church, and cornered I him in tiic Warner House baggage room (?). Dalrymple twisted in all shapes and told his slave stories and big trips to Potter county and Ken tucky, but it did not work. Pap had him tied up so fast that he will not run down for three weeks, or until the next democratic caucus in the east end. We have a fine organization now and in good working order. Beldin has washed his feet and he now has a new pair of socks. We expect our new goat soon and will be ready for busi ness Elias Page, of Mt. Vernon, 111., was initiated last night and by the time he gets the Iloyal degree will be able to face Dalrymple single-handed. Norman Johnson was fined for non at tendance. John Johnson is improving since lie took the second degree. Grundy Logue is having a circus with his St. Benard. He was kicking potato bugs out of the field and ran against a hedgehog, and before he got that fellow out of the patch he looked troubled sure. Harve Smith is doing fine since he left the old club, which is getting stale and too slow. They have to come to us for pointers. Two weeks ago two eels were caught 011 one hook. The same hook was set again and another eel caught. Geo. Sliafer's calf came along and swallowed eel and hook, and in less than ten minutes the calf was hooked in the hind leg. This looks fishy but it is a fact and can be proven by good wit nesses. The club adjouned in dis order and joined in the dog fight in progress outside. A cordial invitation is extended to all members of the organization, while visiting at Wyside to call 011 Pap Blodget, who is ready at all times to entertain strangers. FIDE. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

He further states an immediate sucking of the wound is the surest cure. Whiskey, he asserts, is not an antidote, as many suppose, since, being a stimulent, it quickens the circulation and carries the poison rapidly through the system. Blotches and excrescences, which so often annoy people, are simply efforts of nature to throw off impediments to the proper performance of her duties.
