Among the county visitors in
town last Tuesday we noticed Ed
Sharpe of Harrisonville, and
David Strait of Hustontown,
neither of whom are very fre
quent callers in the old Burg.
Glad to see them.
During the cold days of this

pieces-1125 in all. She advises
the girls that this is a good way
to keep their fingers warm in the
winter time.

Last year at this time you could
see fishermen at almost any hour

Sloan Warthin, of Ayr town

All the Governors of the res
pective states of the Union, have
been asked to declare May 2nd a
holiday this year in favor of Wo
man Suffrage. President Wilson
has been asked by the ladies to
make the day a national holiday

We are not finding fault, but
we know for a surety that dogs
and cat3 destroy quail's nests to
such extent that bitter complaint
is made in some quarters. A
flock of quail on the farm will eat
every potato bug they can find;
but, of course, neither your nor
my dog or cat would disturb their
nests it's always the other fel
low's that destroys them. Speak
to him about it.
After the death of her husband
William Gallaher at Burnt Cab
ins a few weeks ago, the unex
pected bereavement caused the
mind of the wife to become un
balanced, and last Friday, upon
ordtfr of the Court, she was tak

by Sheriff Harris and his oldest
daughter. The Sheriff says that
he believes that her mind will re
turn to its normal sanity after
she is there for treatment a short
time.

scription to the News. A few
vears ago Mr. Barmont purchas
ed a farm, some of which was
given up to hogs to root in; but
Mr. Barmont's keen eye saw
great possibilities and he contin
ued to let 'em root out the stones
which he hauled off by the hun
dreds of loads and he now has
one of the best farms in that
townshiD-the land not having
been run down by cropping, and,
in season, produces grain and
crass like our forefathers boasted
of before our land3 had been
farmed to death.

150 Decisions for Sabbath School.
The reports received from the
canvass for new members for
Sabbath Schools are very grati
fying. Seven schools in the coun
ty have reported namely, the five
schools in McConnellsburg, the
Burnt Cabins M. E. and the Big
Cove Tannery Lutheran. In Mc
Connellsburg; alone, 81 new de-
disions were made. Two schools
outside outside of town did re
markably well. The total so far
reported is 150 new members.
But, not only in numbers have
the schools been benefited but in
real personal face to face work:
in-as-much as every school which
has made the canvass has report
ed decided increase in personal
spiritual life. Any member of
the County Association will be
pleased to advise the Superinten
dents, how to make your canvass.

all the schools in the county have

cherries. Fine youngApple Or
chard, Pears, Plums, Peaches, etc
This farm I sold last year for
$5,500 00; but the party who pur
chased has met with adversity and
therefore will not be in position
to take possession this spring.
If sold before April first, the
price is $5,250.00, and the pur
chser gets the entire wheat crop
of G5 acres. Any one wanting to
buy a farm will find this a bar
gain. Remember, the price aft
er April 1st is $5,500.00 without
the crop. Buildings alone would
cost more than the price asked.
Terms to suit. For further in

The edict has gone forth that
all candidates for office whether
state or national, will be required
to declare their sentiments rela

and we hope the day may soon
come whenjbooze will be downed

Men with monev to snend are
still experimenting with two-

You may know it, or you may not; but the truth is, that Queen
Quality Shoes are manufactured by the largest Shoe Factory in the
whole United States. The "Queen Quality factory makes more
shoes, and sells more shoes than any other. This should be the
best evidence that they sell good goods. If the shoes were not all
that they are represented to be, the Queen Quality people could
not do the business they are doing. We have handled the Queen
Quality shoes for five years, and our trade in them has grown
steadily with that of the factory. Now, if you have a hard foot to
fit, come in and let us try to fit you. If we do not happen to 'have
in stock your size and width, we can get it for ybu in three or four
days and it will not mean any extra cost to you, either. The prices
run from $2.50 to $5.00. We have shoes to fit your whole family,
and prices to fit your pocket book.
