The people of Berlin, Somerset
county, have been completely
mystified over the disappearance
of N. A. Seibert, a well known
business man of that place. He
left home for Cumberland, Mary
land, on August 28, and has not
been heard from since. Relativ
es who have been looking for
him in vain lear that he has met
with foul play.

Most elderly people have some
kidney or bladder disorder that
3 both painful and dangerous
Foley 'b Kidney Remedy has prov
en a boon to many elderly people
as it stimulates the urinary or

What the country needs tbe
most, just now is rain, and plenty
of it. The streams and well8 are
extremely low and unless there
is a good settled rain very short
ly many hardships will be suffer
ed from drought. While we have
had but very little rain in this re
gion for quite a while, yet condi
tions elsewhere are much worse.
In some sections mines and in
dustries have been compelled to
shut down on account of not hav
ing enough water for their boil
ers, while farmers are experien
cing much incouvenience in wa
tering their stock.
Bad Breath.
A well-known physician, who
undoubtedly knows, declares that
bad breath has broken off more
matchus than bad temper.
J la re are ardent
lovers who must
sometimes wish
their svreethearts
presented sweeter
mouths to be kissed.
Good teeth cannot
prevent bud breath
when the stomach is
disordered.
The best cure for
bad breath is a
cleansing out of the
body by use of
Lane's Family
Medicine
the tonic laxative.
This is a herb medicine, sold In
Sc. and $oc. packages by drug
gists and It is saving more doctors
bills than any other medicine has
ever saved.
It cures headache, backache,
indigestion, constipation and skin
diseases.
NEW ORENADA.
Mrs. Catharine Duvall is con
fined to her bed at present writ

3ort McClain, suffering from
a severe attack of appendicitis,

week is the show of Clifton Rem
edy Company, which is a very
fine affair aud conductod by a re
spectable company.
Miss Sarah Cook of East Broad
Top, Sundied with friends here
and took in the I. O. O. F. picnic.
The Oddfellows' picnic here
last Saturday was a most enjoy
able affair. Success crowned
the efforts of those who arranged
for it The day was tine and a
large crowd gathered, who were
orderly aud seemingly happy.
Not a person was present but
who was weil bebaved, aud a gen
eral handshaking prevailed. Tbe
Saltillo Band was tine, and treat
ed us to lots of good music. They
are a well behaved, sober, and in
telligent organization. We con
gratulate SadtUlo on such a nice
turnout, and the leader, Sheri
dan Thomas, especially. Any
gathering needing music will do
well to give them a call. The on
ly thing we were short on was
visiting Oddfellows aud speakers.
Had they seen the dinner prepar
ed for their coming, more would
have laid their little business
cares aside and come. Hon John
P. oipes, who promised to assist,
not showing up, put a ban on the
afternoon exercises. Had he re
ceived the bumps on his body
that were given him here, he
now would be in a different cli
mate. Prof. Dell of Huntingdon,
gave us one of his grand lectures
on Odd Fellowship, or rather,
Secret Societies, which was ap
preciated by all. He is the right
man in the right place. He is an
orator, sure, like unto Billy Bry
an. Thanks to him. Come again
Professor.

shows, while the New Grenada
boys played a good game.
