Mill President Got Skinned.
Mr. President of a cot
ton mill at Union, S. C. he don't
want to M his name in print
had two offers ot 300 gallons of
paint : 1.80 and 1.S6, Took the
$1.-5; and got skinned. He'd
have got three quarters skinned
if he'd taken the other.
The 11.80 was full gallon ; the
$1.25 was 1m per cent, short.
The full measure paint was ad
ulterated 40 per cent., the short
measure paint was adulterated
45 per cent., besides benzine in
the oil, don't know how much.
Devoe lead-arid zinc wasn't sold
in the town then.
It don't pay to monkey with
paint.
Devoe costs less than any of
'em; not by the gallon, of course;
by the house and year. That's
how to reckon it Go by the
name.

Our friend Thomas Johnston
was unfortunate enough last
week to lose a two hundred and
fifty dollar mare. Wednesday
evening the mare was all right,
but some time through the night
she was attacked by spasmodic
colic. This is the second horse
that Mr. Johnston has lost this
summer.
S. C. Yeakle has added to his
already well equipped blacksmith
shop a shoeing rack in which he
can shoe the most vicious ummal
with ease. The beast is strap
ped and tied, belted and roped,
so that he is held secure until the
shoes are driven, when he is re
leased. This is one of the latest
improved shoeing racks and as
Mr. Yeakle is up to date in all
things pertaining to his line of
work he has set up one of these
racks. Mercersburg Journal.

SAVED HIS BUY'S LIFE.
"My three year old boy was
badly constipated, had a high
fever and was in an awful condi
tion. 1. gave hi in two dozes of
Foley's Orino Laxative aud the
next morning trie fever was gone
and he was entirely well. Foley '$
Orino Laxative saves his life."

Misses Stella and Leona, daugh
ters of Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Teeter
of Chambersburg, drive over to
McConnellsburg last Saturday,
and returned home Sunday.
When folks come to court next
week, they will hardly know the
old "Temple of Justice." Jacob
W. Mellott has a big force of men
at work this week putting down
a concrete sidewalk on the front
and east elude, and he has remov
ed all the trees al mg the east
side, which is a great improve
raont to the appearance of the
building. What is needed now is
the removal of the trees lu front
of the building.
Last Sunday afternoon a party
of four persons two men and
two women drove through town,
and one of the men blew a bugle,
while another announced that
there would be preaching on the
street in McConnellsburg at 7:30
that evening. They claimed to
be representatives of the Israel
ite House of David, a sect with
headquarters at Benton Harbor,
Mich. At half past seven, one
of the men and one of the women
appeared on the street between
Trout's drug store, and Seylar's
drug store, and began to preach.
It was not long until they had
more of an audience than is usual
ly found in any of the churches
in town on Sunday evening. The
man preached first and then the
woman. Both were lluent talkers,
and did not take any exceptions
to the bible- in fact, they quoted
passage after passage to prove
their argument. They seemed to
be v.?ry sincere in their belief, but
their doctrines were radically dif
ferent from what the average or
thodox preacher teaches. Just
one example: They teach that
at death, our mortal bodies are
destroyed; our spirits go to the
God who gave them, and our
souls lie in the grave until the res
urrection, when they will be call
ed fourth and reunited with the
spirit, thus forming an angelic
body.
Married Man In Trouble.
A man led man who premits
any member of the familv to take
anything except Foley's Honey
and Tar, for coughs, colds and
lung trouble, is guilty of neglect.
Nothing else is as good lor all
pulmonary troubles. The gen
uine Foley's Honey and Tar con
tains no opiates and is in a yellow
package. Trout's drug store.
How Sawdust Is Used Abroad.
Sawdust is one of the puzzling
wastes in lumbering operations.
In several European countries a
new way has been found of turn
ing it to account. The sawdust,
ohiellv pine and fir, is ground
with millstones, exactly as old
time mills made corumeal, or
wheat or rye Hour.
Sawdust Hour is sold to dyna
mite factories to be mixed with
nitroglycerine and forms the
body or absorbent for that high
explosive. It is also in demand
for the manufacture of cheap
blotting papers. The mills in
the Hartz mountains, in Ger
many, an inportant manufactur
ing centre, are kept busy meet
ing this demand.
The price of the "flour" in
Germany ranges from $7.50 to
12.50 a ton. It is shipped in
bags, like meal, or in bales of
about 40 cubic feet, made by
means of high pressui e.
Woman Interrupts Political Speaker.
A well dressed woman inter
rupted a political speaker recent
ly by continually coughing. If
she had taken Foley's Honey and
Tar it would have cured her
cough quickly and expelled the
cold from her system. The gen
uine F ley's Honey and Tar con
tains no opiates and is in a yellow
package. Refuse substitutes.
