that he sustained severe injuries

Of late there has been an un
usual number of tragic deaths,
involving scandal, among sons of
some American millionanes.
While the young men were to
blame for their wrong course of
life it Is in order to ask whether
the greater blame does not at
tach to their parents? It is no
torious that oftentimes the ex
ample set by the parents is not
good, that parental authority and
discipline are not imposed, and
that the sons have an almost un
limited money to spend as they
please, which they generally
please to spend in foolish and vic
ious ways. Under the circum
stances the downward path with
its abrupt and mournful ending
is made easy for them.

Fort Littleton Odd Fellows Entertained
by McConnellsburg Lodge Last
Friday Evening,
Without any warning, twenty
members of Fort Littleton Lodge
No. 434 I. O. O. F., swooped down
upon McConnellsburg Lodge No.
744 last Friday evening. Toward
evening it began to snow, and the
weather was not- auspicious for a
large turn out of the members of
the local lodge, and as the word
did not get around in time, only
fifteen members ot the home
lodge were present. This, how
ever, did not keep those who were
there from having a good time,
and about nine o'clock the visitors
wore informed that the closing
exercises of the very pleasant af
fair would take plaee at the City
Hotel. At nine thirty, the mem
bers of the local lodge together
with their visitors were ushered
into the spacious dining room at
the City Hotel, and there served
to oysters, coffee, and the other
accessories that go to make a
complete oyster supper.
The only thing to, in any way,
mar the pleasure of the trips was
the snow storm through which
tbe visitors had to go on their re
turn home.
The visit from the Fort Little
ton brethren was greatly appre
ciated by theMcConnellsburgers
and it is hoped that these very
pleasant occasions may happen
more frequently.
The names of the visitors are:

SAVED FROM AWFUL PERIL.
"I never felt so near my grave"
writes Lewis Chamblhi, of Man
chester, Ohio., R. R. No. 3, "as
when a frightful cough and lung
trouble pulled me down to 115
pounds in spite of many reme
dies and the best doctors. And
that I am alive to-day is due sele
ly to Dr. King's New Discovery,
which completely cured me. Now
I weigh 160 pounds and can work
hard. It also cured my four chil
dren of croup." Infallible for
coughsand colds, it's the most

STAY ON THE FARM.
Said Qovernor Stuart In an Address Be
fore The Delegates at the State
Convention Last Week.
More than four hundred mem
bers of Farmers' associations
throughout the State, among
whom was J. Lind Patterson, of
Ayr township, member of the
State Board ot Agriculture from
this county, assembled . in Con
vention at llarrisburg last week.
Among the very many other in
toresting and' instructive ad
dresses, was one delivered by
Governor Stuart, in which he re
iterated remarks he had made on
former occasions to tbe effect
that the farm is the place for the
boy to stay and that commercial
success can be obtained in the
country as well as in the city.
"Tbe boy should be kept on the
farm," said the governor. "Ha
should be shown that it is to his
best advantage. He should be
taught to get the best out of his
farm, and the modern agricultur
al school is tbe place to teach him.
"What is true ot every branch
of industry is true of the farm.
Three things are necessary and
three onJy work, industry, and
application. There is no such
thing as luck. I care not what
any one may say, the success of
the individual depends entirely
upon the efforts of Abe individual.
"If the farmer raises some
thing at a cost of $1 and sells it
to someone else for $2 or $3 or
more, he is going to make money.
What is necessary is for him to'
learn what product he can best
produce at the lowest price. Then
he will succeed.

Editor of the Flxton Coun
ty News: 1 want to say through
your paper how much surprised
I was to receive a subscription
for the Fulton County News, a
paper of my dear old home coun
ty, for a Xmas present from my
family. It surely has done me
more than a dollar's worth of
good already; for I cannot ex
press to you what pleasure I de
rived trom those back numbers
you sent me; they brought so
many past memories back to me.
I left Fulton county 33 yaars ago
for Ohio. There have been many
changes since, and many have
gone to their reward, but will
never be forgotten; for I never
will forget my dear old mountain
home. I expect to visit there
again. I would be glad to hear
lrom any of my old friends.
