HENRY KF.LLNER.
Another of Fulton county's aged
and most highly respected citizens has
been called to the Great Beyond dur
ing the past week in the person of
Henry Kellner. Mr. Kellnerwas born
in Saxony, Germany, nearly seventy,
four yearg ago, and died at his late
home In Licking Creek township, on
Thursday of last week. He received a
liberal education In the "Fatherland,"
but having a distaste for the army ser
vice Imposed upon every German citi
zen, he came to America in time to
avoid it. Reaching this country, he
spent a short time in New Jersey, when
he pushed his way to Fulton county
and secured employment as a farm
laborer with tho late Adum Gress of
Tod township. While with Mr. Gress,
a mutual affection arose between him
and the sister of Mr. Gress's wlfe.Miss
Margret Omert, and they weYe married
and went to housekeeping in a little
house belonging to Mr. Gress. This
was about fifty years ngo. Sometime
thereafter, he purchased the property
below Bethlehem church on which
John Cowan now lives, and remained
there until about thirty yearg ago,
when he purchased the farm owned by
him and on which he resided at the
time of his death.
He is survived by his wife and six
children Adam and William, of Bel
fast township; Mary, wife of our
townsman John H. " Doyle; Margaret,
wife of Ross Hann, of Licking Creek
township; Kmma, wife of Thomas Mel
lott, near Sipes Mills, and Sadie, at
home.
Mr. Kellner was a member of the U.
B. church for many years, a great Bi
ble student, and a man of more than
average intelligence. His remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery of the
Sideling Hill Christian church on Sat
urday 2-lth ult.

There have been such extreme
chauges in tho weather, that we
are led to think that things have
The storm which contiuued with
out interruption all day Sunday
was the most intensely cold one
of the winter. '
John Hammill is kept busy ex
plaining how and why he was
elected supervisor. John feels
good over his success.
Squire Fore having sold his
Pleasant Valley farm, thought he
could have some rest. But, alas!
for human judgment he found
it necessary to make several
journeys, only to find that the old
saying. "Experience is the best
teacher," rs very applicable to his
own case.
A couple of gentlemen of this
vicinity, accompanied by lady
friends, went to Bethkihem
church Friday night, only to find
that the protracted meeting had
closed:
Win. Sipes seems to have lots
of business in Dublin, as he goes
out there nearly every evening,
Will has a good driver, and keeps
it to the work, but Saturday
night, concluded to give it a rest,
Joe says he did not catch the
coon, as the snow left too soon,
and he lost the track.
The "sheriff" is still in a deep
study over recent developments,
but accepts tho situation with
philosophical resignation.
A number of men from this vi
cinity, who have been working at
Kearney,' Pu., are still at home;
but will pll return to work at
that place, iu a day or two.
Le Roy Myers, our genial
agent for the Blade and Ledger,
has secured a position at Bridge
port, Pa., and will enter upon his
duties in about three weeks.
Daniel Hammill, our fur dealer,
proposes a trip to Licking Creek
in the near future.
With the return of spring, the
sound of the saw and hammer
will be hoard in our village, as
many improvements are contem
plated; among which are, store
rooms for John Hammill, and D.
Ed. Fore, and blacksmith shop
for J. C. Tice. ,
G uard railings have been plac
ed at the approaches to the
bridge over Licking Creek, at
this place. The supervisors " are
to be commended for the decid
edly excellent manner in which
the work was performed. A few
dollars expended in this manner,
at an earlier date, would have
saved the township a snug sum
of money paid out for damages
BURNED TO DEATH.
Last Sunday evening about hIx o'
clock, IVarl, five-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Sprtggs (colored)
who live out at Africa a mile west of
town, was standing near a hot stove
In the Sprlggs home. The only other
occupant of the room at the time was
Nancy Sprlggs a neighbor. By the
cries of the child Nancy's attention
was called, when she found the cloth
ing of the child all ahluze. Nancy did
her In'st to tear from the child the
burning clothing; but she did not suc
ceed in doing so until the child was
terribly burned. Dr. Smith wag at
once called; but, when he reached the
child, it was beyond human help al
most every inch of the skin of the
child's body was in a blister or had
been, and already peeled off. The pain
which at first was so intensely excru
ciating soon subsided as the nervous
system lost its sensibility and the
child lived several hours thereafter in
a semi-comatose condition, when death
came.
Too much care cannot 1j taken to
guard against such dreadful uccldents.
It has been but a week or two since we
reported the burning to death of a
child at Dry Hun. Where the clothing
of a child or woman gets ablaze there
is scarcely a chance out of a dozen
of being saved from a horrible death.
MRS. VVOODAL DEAD.
Mrs. Mary Woodal, mother of the
late H. H. Woodal, a former county
superintendent of school of thin coun
ty and later editor of the Fulton Dem
ocrat, died at the residence of Mrs.
Sarah Woodal In Chambersburg, last
Wednesday evening. The cause of
her death was old age.
Fifty years ago she and her husband,
with little "Harry," wero residents of
this county. About half way up the
Meudowground mountain on the road
leading across from the Backrun
school house is a spring. Just a little
below the spring on the upper side of
the road, muy be noticed the founda
tion stones of a chimney. When the
ex-superlntendent and editor was but
a barefooted lad, his father aud moth
er lived in th house, or cabin, to
which reference has just been made.
The family at another time, lived in
tho old house, just across the creek
from Mauri's mill. For many years
her entire support came from that
faithful son; and even after his death,
she found a comfortable home the re
mainder of her days, with the fumily.
Mrs. Woodal was born in Berks
county, April 9, 1800, and was the
last of her family. She was a woman
of wonderful vitality and had always
enjoyed good health until a few weeks
ugo. Her memory was remarkably
retentive, and incidents of the early
part of the century wero readily re
called by her. Most of her life was
spent in and around Fannettsburg.
She was a member of the Reformed
church at . Mercersburg, joining that
church while Rev. McCuuley wus pas
tor. Although living to the age of ninety-one
years, she bears the unique
record of never having been in a rail
road car, and of having smoked a pipe
since her childhood.
Her' remains were interred at Fan
nettsburg on Frldday.

MORAL WEEDS.
Written for the News ty A. SiilworiUer.
An odd subject to write upon,
but ono that is practiced and
enjoyed by many persons, not a
few times, either.
How can the moral weed crop
best be cheeked aud overcome?
The great difficulty is, "what
is everybody's business is no
body's busiuess"; aud especially
is this true when it is considered
that no man has the management
of a neighborhood as he has of
his own farm.
There are a great many evil
plauts bearing seed such as
tale-bearing, impure language,
profanity, passion, the use of to
bacco, cigarette smoking, etc.
Anything is a weed when it can
not be controlled, but persists in
growing where wo are trying to
grow other crops.
To keep evil inllueuces from
taking root or bearing seed in
our community, would likewise,
take a great deal of somebody's
time, labor, and means.
Of all the moral weeds, there
is one that not only destroys our
own happiness but the happiness
of our neighbor, also; this moral
weed is gossip.
Gossip which now reigns in our
community, is likethedestroyiug
pestilence, spreading desolation
wherever it goes. An old say
ing is, "Where there is smoke
there is tire;" but, if we would
guard agitinst fanning the smoke
the dying embers would smoul
dor away instead of developing in
to a flame; and the longer the
tu'e burns, the wider it spreads,
so does gossip.
' Weare taughtin the Scriptures,
"He who walks in righteousness
will never his neighbor wrong
nor a slanderous tale repeat."
The gospel does not consist in
doctrines aud ceremonies, but in
love, "Thou slialt love thy neigh
bor as thyself,'.' said our master
on one occasion. Then came the
question, Who is my neighbor?
and the answer expressed in the
Immortal Story was, "Everyone
who needs thy help."
In Dr. Irvine's address to tho
McConnellsburg High School
graduates last spring, we remem
ber a beautiful thought. t It was,
"If we lose our money, wo lose
nothing; if we loso our health, wo
lose something; if we lose our
character, we loso everything."
Would we be guilty of robbing
a man of his money? Who of us
would turn a deaf ear to the cry
of a neighbor or a friend in the
time of sickness? Yet how prone
wo are to destroy our neighbor's
character. Character is the
grand part of our nature. To
build firm and noble characters
lies within the reach of everyone.
Yet, our dear boys and girls
grow up to mauhood and woman
hood, and wolves in sheep's cloth
ing will rise up' to drag them
down; but such is tho delight of
the gossipor.
Frequently after persons have
made an effort to turn from siu,
aud have come forth aud identi
fied themselves with the church
militant, tho poisonous darts of
tho slanderer are hurled to crush
their hopes and darken their
prospects. O, do not turn away
from those who, in tho hour of
tempatatiou, yielded to a first
fault. Bear with them yet a lit
tle lougor. Give them another
trial, While you condemn their
missteps, encourage them to
good deeds for tho future. How
sweet is the romembranco of a
kind act! When wo aro strong
enough to say to this moral weed
that Christ has set us a perfect
example, and that we can depend
upon Him, we will not have tho
spirit of tho gossiper.
Gossip is an evil habit and one
to,bo guarded against. If we
aro bettor than another, it is not
to be ascribed to ourselves but to
tho grace of God. Wo cannot
toll how long we will bo able to
continue in the narrow path of
virtue. If wo sow good seeds in
our garden, the weeds will still
continue to grow; but we must
watch aud work and use moans
of cultivation to destroy the
weods; so with our lives, we must
watch and pray. We should be
humble and to ourselves put the
question, "Who, after all, can tell
that this unfortunate person is
not better than wo?"
