Business was practically at a standstill on Tuesday, owing to the roads leading out of town be ing shut from fence to fence with snow. As a tribute of love, some of the ladies of the M. E. Church of McConnellsburg presented Mrs. Royer with a beautiful set of sterling silver silver spoons. LOST between Cedar Grove church and home a gold watch with a black fob. The tinder will be liberally rewarded by return ing the watch to 3 5-lt Lkvi II. Garland. Mr. Rosenberg, of Montgomery county, and C, E.

C, spent several days last week in this vicinity, interviewing farm ers with a view to having them ship cream to his company. We do not know what arrangement he made if any. President Wilson gave out the information on Monday that he did not intend to permit himself to be stampeded into hasty action in regard to Mexico by radical speeches in Congress, or by the newspapers. He intends to ex haust every possible effort to end the matter without the shedding of American blood. We intima ted, however, that if it become necessary to resort to drastic measures. Mexico would get "a plenty." Jingoes had better not fool too far with Wilson's Scotch-Irish fighting Wood; he seldom fights, but when he does lookout!
