Abraham Sordan of Baltimore, father in

Mr. Dill returned Friday from an extended
business trip east. He took in Lewisburg,
bis former borne, and Baltimore, where he
made arrangements with the Balto. t Ohio
Railroad Company to extend a teiephoue
wire on the company's telegraph poles from
this place to West Salisbury, for the private
use of the Boy n ton Lumber Co, Cumber
land ii Elklick Coal Co., Keystone Coal Co.,
and Hocking mines. In the near future a
telephone wire for general use will be put on
same poles to connect Salisbury with this
place, which will bring both towns within
speaking distance. Why don't our hotel
proprietors have telephone connections with
the railway station, for the accommodation
of the ever present commercial drummer?
Postmaster Hicks is back from Philadel

him leaves one of the opinion that he is
still a "Stalwart." He has very nice Christ
mas goods stalwart looking scores of them.

Lou A. Smith wants the entire cussed

who bo largely figured in the 255 votes cast
for " Scientific Alex." at the last election.

From bearings that Used to hold good,' we
are convinced that we are to have a regular
