Caiarrh Cannot he Cured
with local application, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitution
al disease, and in order to cure it
you must take internal remedies.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's CatarrhCure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the be3t physicians in this
country for years and is a regu
lar prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, com
bined with the best blood puri
liers, acting directly on the mu
cous surfaces. The perfect com
bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful
results in curing Catarrh. Ser.d

Labor is honorable, and the

work. Get you a home. Fonce
a field and plow it and plant it,
and gather around you the com
forts of home. And when you
have made a character for ener
gy and thrift, ask Borne young
lady to share your home with you.
We would say to every young
lad v. mark these men who are
w
lounging around attempting to
live by their wits, or on the inter
est of their debts; and when they
ask. you to share the lot of an
aimless life, passed them on, for
you cannot afford to marry a man
without prosperity or ousiness
habits, unless you wish to sell
yourself for a mess of pottage.

FALL SLLDLNG OF CLOVL'R.

from dry killing.
I'Ivoq where the bacteria arc
established in the fields, I have
found that inoculating with the
fresh cultures has imparted
fresh vigor, and has saved clover
from dry-killing, while, right
beside it, uuiuoculated clover has
been partially or totally destroy
ed, if you are going to seed
clover this fall send me a postal
asking for inoculating material,
and I will send it to you at once
witli instructions how to use it.

Agriculture, Washington, D. C,
The Two Men Inside.
An old Ixdien onco asked a
white man to give him some to
bacco for his pipe. The man
gave him a loose handful from
his pocket.
The next day he came back
and asked for the white man.
"For," said ho, "I found a quar
ter of a dollar among thetobacco."
"Why don'tyou keep it'" asked
a bystander.
"I've go a good man and a bad
man," said the Indian, pointing
to his breast; "and the good man
say: "It is not mine, give it back
to the owner.' The bad man say
'Never mind, you got it, and it is
your own.' The good man say:
I 'No, no; you must not keep it.
So I don't know what to do, and
I think to go to sleep, but the
good and the bad men lnep talk
lug all night, and trouble me;
and now I bring the money back,
I feel good."
Like the Indian, we have all a
good man and a bad man within.
The bad man is Temptation, the
good man is Conscience, and they
keep talking lor au4 against
many things that we do every
day.
Who wins? That is the ques
tion; and the answer decides a
child's character for his life and
the life to come. Who wlnr?
Staud up for duty. Down with
sin! Wrestle with temptatiou
manfully. Never, never give up
the war till you win. Selected.
Why Drink?
What excuse can man offer for
learning to drink?
The young man with life bo
fore him and a commendable am
bition to be successful can ask
iu more important question,
seeing that drink has spoiled the
careers of so many. Nor can
successful business men do a
greater work for the world soci
ally and materially than to ans
wer this question.
The temperance question used
to bo treated sentimentally. That
was before business began to
dominate everything" in this coun
try. The tempwance orator in
those days cotented himself with
painting the horrors of the drunk
ard's home, and he did it in the
fiercest eolos.
The days of sentiment have
been glidiug by until an era has
been ushered in that demands
action rather than talk.
It is no longer a question wheth
er drinking is merely sinful and
wasteful, but does it pay? If so,
how, or in what way? The an
swer to the question must bo giv
en by the successful business
man and not by the sentimental
alone.
If it does not pay, why indulge
in it? That is the practical com
mon sense question of the hour
and the one that thousands of
young men are waiting to have
answered before starting out in
life.
And business men are answer
ing it by refusing to employ men
who drink. Exchange.

Communicated.
Mil. ImutuU: 1 cravo just a
little space in your paper to give
cxpresiion to my opinion relative
to the recent, developments in
connection with the lnceudiarism
with winch McConnellsburg has
been plagued for some time.
In the article in last week's
Nhws one sentenoo caught my
attention. It was the expression,
"To add to the tension to which
our people aro wrought up," etc.
Weil! Who would have thought
it? Is it possible that, at last,
the people have boon aroused?
That does seem to be the case, al
though it has taken all this time.
For several years the property
owners and taxpayers of McCon
nellsburg haao been obliged to be
in a more or Jess constant state
of dread because of the work of
some friend, or friends, who
went about attempting to destroy
their fellow man's property.
Doubtless many a citizen retired
at night harassed by the thought
that, cro the rising sun of a new
day would dispel the mists from
tho valley, the match might bo
applied and some of his own pro
perty go up in ilames. Indeed,
at almost any hour of day or
night the cry of "Fire!" might
be expected to resound through
the quiet streets and the citizens
be called upon to exert strenuous
elTorts to defeat the malicious
purpose of some public enemy
and save their neighbor's proper
ty from destruction.
And, at last, the people are
aroused! Yes, be it said to their
credit that they seem to have
thrown off their sluggishness, or
foolish fear, or whatever it might
properly bo called; they have as
serted the imperial power of their
American citizenship and started
Justice out in pursuit of the das
tardly perpetrator of crime,
this vile specimen of humanity
blot on society personification
of human depravity fiend in
human form aye, devil incar
nate. After calling m some out
side help, the supposed offender
is apprehended and jailed (so to
speak).
Hut now, ye gods, behold! A
man trained in running down
lawbreakers has scarcely placed
a suspect virtually in the hands
of tho proper authorities until he
is said to have "escaped" (?) and
at once it is rumored, and later
seemingly confirmed, that an of
ficial is implicated in tho prison
er's escape. Think of it! O, the
shame that suspicion should rest
upon any man who in his fficial
capacity represents the executive
department of the government,
one supposed to carry out the
mandatas of the law, such an
one to be accused of playing trai
tor to the common good, proving
false to his trust, and betraying
the confidence of those by whom
he is placed in a position of pro
tector of the people.
Fulton county has long lain
under the stigma of being
behind the times the only coun
ty in the state without modern
methods of transportation, and
of being able to produce only
buckwheat and hoop-poles, not
withstanding that she has sent
out into the world many worthy
sons who are doing their share of
tho world's work and playing
well their part in the drama of
life. But now, is the sum total
of the criminality of the state in
general and of Fulton county in
particular to be increased and the
latter to be held upas a laughing
stock because of this perversion
of justice? Are citizens, when
they get beyond thegoographical
confines, to be ashamed to own it
as the placo ol their nativity, and
blush because of the derogatory
remarks made in reference to it?
Rather may we not hope that tho
DODulace. as one man, will rise
in righteous indignation and car
ry forward what a few right
thrnking, public-minded citizens
have already started, that justice
may be meted out and the people
place themselves on equal footing
with any other law abiding com
munity in this commonwealth.
From the reports current there
are at least two criminals at large
in this state, both of whom should
receive a good, substantial sen
tence to the penitentiary, that
they may there have ample time
to rellect that "the way of the
transgressor is hard," and that
betrayers of public trust shall
not go unpunished.
