LOCAL HISTORY.
(Continued from first page.)
teachers from whom I received
instruction during those years
wereE. J. Osborne, Amon G.
Edwards, H. S. Wishart and W.
A, Gray. Would that I possessed
the ability to write in fitting
terms of those old time teachers
of mine, of their high and noble
character, of their scholarship,
their kindness and their success
in their work.
Wbile my life lasts, I shall
never cease to keep in most grate
ful memory those faithful old
teachers and what they did for
me.
in addition to those of my own
old time instructors, I would like
to put on record the names of
others who did most efficient
faithful work m those schools 40
to GO years ago. Some of them
were John B. and A. R. Foote, E
and W. W. and D. P. Osborne,
J. B. Bowles, B. F. Stevens, R.
F. and J. M. Miller, George W.
Ready, J. L. Ketterman, H. G.
Smith, T. A. Lyon, W. A Hunter,
S. P, Wishart, J. M. McCune, J.
W. Griffith, J. A. DeForest, J. A.
Woodcock, W. S. Alexander, J.
R, Akers, W. H. Markley, W. A.
Clippinger, and J. A. Stewart.
These teachers were all young
men in prime of life strong
physically, mentally, and intel
lectually, and of fine scholarship.
There was not a young "Prot."
among them. Verily, the old time
school directors, of Wells town
ship, had no use for inexperienc
ed boys or girls, with a smatter
ing education, as teachers in their
schools.
Many of these faithful workers
have gone from earth to the en
joyment of their exceeding great
reward. Wm. A. Gray died re
cently at the advanced age of 88
years. Except, during term of
1858-9, be never taught in the
public schools after I knew him
first in 1853. His work was done
in select schools and private clas
ses assisting young men m their
preparation for college or for
the work of teaching. He was
unanimously elected to the of
fice of County Superintendent of
the schools of Fulton county m
18G0 and served one term with
signal ability and success.
II. S. Wishart entered Alle
gheny college with E J. Osborne,
and George W. and John A.
Ready in 1856, but soon left col
lege to begin the study of medi
cine. He became a successful
physician and died comparatively
recently at tbe age of 78. E. J.
Osborne became a lawyer and
died member-elect of the Vir
ginia legislature in 16G0. Amon
G. Edwards was mortally wound
ed at the bloody battle of Antiet
am and died in a Chambersburg
hospital while yet a young man.
W. V. Osborne, J. B. Bowles and
George W. Ready are no longer
young men. Mr. Osborne being
81 years old, the others a little
younger, yet, they are doing just
such effective work as they did
nearly sixty years ago. Each
holds the same position be has
occupied for years, that of prin
cipal of a ward school in Altoona.
B. F. Stevens, J. A. DeForest,
W. A. Clippinger and J. R. Akers
became ministers in the M. E.
church, and except Mr. Stevens,
all died comparatively young.
Mr. Stevens is yet alive at a good
old age, but on the retired list of
his conference. J. M. Miller, a
talented lawyer and brilliant ora
tor is Adjutant General, Depart
ment of Kansas G. A. R. and ex
member of the legislature of that
state.
Joseph M. McClure graduated
at Yale, read law, was Deputy At
torney General of this Common
wealth under Governor Geary,
and is practicing his profession
at Bradford, Pa. Henry G Smith
became the editor an proprietor
of the Fulton Democrat; later
part owner ol the Lancaster In
telligencer, and still later, re
moved to Tennessee where he
died at an advanced age. Samu
el M. Lyion read law and located
in Bedford, and afterwards went
to Indiana, where he died.
W. Scott Alexander was prin
cipal of the McConnellsburg pub
lie schools, read law, was propria'
tor of the Fulton Republican, Dis
trict Attorney ot the County, and
on November 3, 1880. was elected
to the State Senate and served a
term of four years. He is now
practicing his profession in Mc
Connellsburg. J. A. btewart,
"hale and hearty," lives at Green
hill, Fulton county, Pa.

FOR BALD HEADS.
A Treatment That Costs Nothing
If It Fails.
We want you to try three large
bottles of Roxall ,,93" Hair Tonic
on our personal guarantee that
the trial will not cost you a pen
ny if it does not give you absolute
satisfaction. That's proof of our
faith in this remedy, and it should
indisputably demonstrate that
we know what we are talking
about when we say that Rexall
'93" Hair Tonic will grow hair
on bald heads, except where
baldness has been of such long
duration that the roots of the
hair are entirely dead, the folli
cles closed and grown over, and
the scalp is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our
statements upon what has already
been accomplished by tbe use of
Kexall "93" Hair Tonic, and we
have the right to assume that
what it has done for thousands
of others it will do for you. In
any event you cannot lose any
thing by giving it a trial on our
liberal guarantee. Two sizes,
50c. and $1.00. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in
this community only at our
store The Recall Store. Leslie

II Startled the World
when tbe astounding claims were
first made for Bucklen's Arnica
Salve, but forty years of wonder
ful cures have proved them true,
and everywhere it is now known
as the best salve on earth for
Burns, Boils, Scalds, Sores, Cuts
Bruises, Sprains, Swellings, Ec
zema, Chapped hands, Fever
Sores and Piles. Only 25c at
Trout's drug store.
"Every man is bound to get
himself into a hole sooner or
later," remarked the cynical
grave digger.
Many farmers of Susquehanna
county went across the line into
New York at Bingham pton, early
last week to witness the experi
ment of the Du Poni Powder Com
pany in breaking up the soil by
dynamite instead of plowing.
One hundred and eighteen car
tridges will be used to tbe acre,
and it is expected to break up the
soil and sub-soil in a manner that
will make plowing a lost art. It
is believed the force of the ex
plosive applied to hard pan soil,
especially, will make subsequent
cultivating one grand sweet song.
