JOKE 18, 1914 Published Weekly. $1.00 per Annum in Advance. I'.ntercd lit the I'ustollleu ut MoConuillhUurir, I'u , us Hcoond oIuhn mull mutter. The Hancock Star, of last week Bays that Mr. II. II. Farrabrandt, a fruit grower of New York, state, was looking over the Ton oloway Orchard district, and that he was greatly pleased, and that he is leaving New York state be cause the varieties that may be successfully grown there is limit ed. This will be encouraging to many of our readers in the south ern part of the County who own similar lands. Mrs. 13. R. Simpson, of Dick eys Montain, went to Chambers burg on the 7th inst., where she spent a few days in the home of her son J. Edward ahd wife. The younger Mrs. Simpson ac companied her mother-in-law to Mercersburg last Friday, return ing home in the evening. The elder lady spent the time until Sunday with her son Reed and family, and with her daughter Ida, Mrs. II. B. Atkinson, and returned home Sunday evening much pleased with her trip. We had a letter a few days ago from Walter Fohner, who spent the time from the 10th of last November to the Cth of this month at Winter Haven, Florida, picking oranges and grape fruit Walter said he made as much as $27.75 a week. He says the crop for next season looks very prom ising. During the season just closed his people shiped 110,000 boxes, and they expect to ship 250,000 next season. Walter says he enjoys the climate of Fiorida during the winter months, but he likes to get back north for the summer season. He is now in Van Wert, Ohio. Speaking of automobiles, Sher iff Harris' auto fever is a little higher since his trip to Harris burg last week. Last Thursday he and Mrs. Harris and their five children and another passen ger, with Rush Cline for their engineer, left here at nine o'clock in the forenoon, and arrived in Harrisburg at 12:30 noon. They spent the time until 3 o'clock Friday afternoon in that city, when they drove to Chambers burg for supper, spent an hour and a half, and were home by 10 o'clock. Jim says autoing beats railroad travel all to pieces for pleasure, and, for a large party, costs but little more. Bazil L. Sipes, a native of Licking Creek township, but now residing near Coshockton, Ohio, brought his wife and little grand son to this place on Tuesday of last week to see Mrs. Sipes' moth er, Mrs. Sarah Deshong, who is quite ill. Mr. Sipes is a farmer and coal operator, and informed us that the mines in his locality have been closed by a strike since April, and that he has since been giving his whole attention to his farm. He made carefull note of the crops along the route to this place, and said that nowhere did he see as fine.hay and wheat pros pects as right here in Big Cove. One day last week when An drew B. Oyler together with Carl Shull and family, all of Cham- bersburg, were autoing in Mr. Oyler's machine near Mercers burg the machine suddenly stop ped. Liquid of some kind was seen running from the machine. The auto wa3 permitted to drift to the foot of the hill, leaving a streak of moisture in the dust To determine whether the liquid leaking from the machine was water or not, Shull held a lighted match to it and soon found out; for it ignited and followed the streak to the pool under the auto setting it on fire. Some of ShulPs children were in the auto and were rescued. Everything about the car that would burn was de stroyed 'except the tires on the front wheels. The party had to ro home on the train. Another warning not to fool about an au tomobile with a lighted match, or with a pipe or cigar. Road Repairing to Begin. Last week we told our readers of the decision of the Dauphin county Court making available the funds derived from sales of automobile licenses, to -be used for work on the public roads. The sum of money in the hands of the State Treasurer from this source is $1,028,005. We are as sured by the State Highway Com missioner, that unless further delay is caused by an appeal tak en from this decision, the "good roads" cause will receive a big boost in the State. Interest will now center on the question of how this money shall be expended. Commissioner Bigelow points out that the State Highway Department is well equipped with machinery, ma terial, and force of workmen to begin work at once to repair roads; and that there will be few or no new roads built, meaning, costly changes in the physical features; but that the roads will be thoroughly gone over, broken places repaired, gutters cleaned, culverts fixed. road3 scraped, and otherwise put in tip-top condition. To the best of our knowledge, Mr. Bigelow does not intend to confine his work to the repairing of the strictly new State roads, as the foregoing statement made by him would seem to indicate; but means to get out over the whole of the 9,000 miles of roads taken out of the hands of local authorities. Roughly estimated, it means that about $15,000 has been secured for each of the sixty-seven counties in the State; and since the average cost per mile for the roads already built has been over $20,000, it will be seen that there is money for necessary repairs only. It i3 said that repairs to the new roads will eat up a large portion of the $1,028, GG5. This large sum of money should bring relief from much of the bad condition of the State roads (Sproul Route roads), and as there is no reason to think that the license money for 1915 will be any less, we should, in a very few years, find ourselves travel ing on pretty good roads. In ad dition to the auto license money, it is supposed, and to be hoped, that the next General Assembly will set aside a sufficient amount to enable the state to build some new roads, in addition to making repairs. NEEUMOKE. The hay crop will be short on account of the continued dry weather. Marshall Lay ton and Raymond Plessirger are very sick. Harry L. Peck made a trip to Pittsburgh last week. Logue Hess has completed an addition to bis dwelling house, and is now getting ready to build a big wagon shed. Jacob bharpe, of Knobsville, was a pleasant visitor in our town part of last week. Children's Day services were held at Need more, and at Pleas ant Grove, last Sunday, arid there was a good attendance at both places and interesting programs. Grant Darnhart was unfortu nate euouh to lose a valuable horse last week. Miss Tyda Mellott, of Hancock is spending a few days in the home of Charles Fittery. Mrs. Edward Fost of Hancock, spent the past week with her grandmother Mrs. Sarah Run- yan. Our baseball team is making good this season. A movement is on foot to have the name of our growing town printed on the maps in Capital Letters. The chink of the black smith's hammer is again heard. There are five automobiles in, and around, the village. Now for state roads; and just bore it might not be out of place to warn the supervisors to look out for those loose stones. City Superintendent Harry E. Gress, of Monessen, Pa., was a guest at the Fulton House a day or two this week. He left for Shippensburg yesterday morning where he will be a member of the Board of Examiners in the annual examination at the -State Normal school at that place. Harry, who has already served four years as City Superintendent of schools of Monessen, Pa., was last month re-elected for four years more at a salary of twenty four hundred dollars a year, RESULTS TELL. There Can Be No Donbt Abont the Re suits in McConnellsburg. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a McConnells burg citizen Can be ea uly investigated Whatbetter proof can be had? Mrs D. Keysnr, Main St , Mc Connellsburg, Pa, says: "My back bad been causing me a lot of trouble for along time. It ached constantly and the pains in my loins were so severe that it was almost impossible for me to bond over. I had but little strength and my house work became a bur den. I beard so much about Dean's Kidoey Pills that I finally got a supply at Trout's Drug Store. I had only taken one box when i was completely cured. It is nearly three years since I have taken any kidney remedy and I know my cure has been permanent " a latkk Endorsement. On December 10 1913, Mrs. Keyser said: ' I still recommend Uoan's Kidney Pills and willing ly allow you to use the widorse- ment I gave for them some years ago." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Keyser had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buf falo, N. Y. A Challenge to Go-Aways. E. A. Buckley, of Crook, Cojo- rado, recently sent to this office a marked copy of the "Evening Advocate," a leading paper of Logan county, Colorado. The article marked was an account of the many prizes awarded to the boys and girls of that county for best products of the corn, garden and canning clubs. Mr. Buckley asks the significant question, "Why not also in Kulton county?" We turned the paper over to our agricultural editor, and here is whathesays: "la reply to Mr. Buckley we can only ask him Why did you leave Fulton county and go away off to Colorado? why did you not stay rign; here where we have just as beautiful moun tainsif not so high as you have in Colorado? Why do so many leave Fulton county?. Our sub scription list shows that the Fulton County News goes into every state in the Union to form er Fulton county people, the ma j nty of whom are either direct ly or indirectly associated with agricultural work. People don't leave good homes here without a reason. Can you grow more corn on the semi arid hills and valleys in Colorado, than can we in Ful ton where we have double the rainfall? Not a bit of it. Most of our active young men left us for some other reason. We re spectfully refer your question to them, and hope they will answer through the News, so that the many hundreds of gono-away readers may enjoy readiug it. To put in the time while they are writing their answers, we will sav for ourselves that we who remain, live so easily and happily, that we do not want to waste a dollar each to pay a prac tical demonstrator to bother us by spooling round trying to get us out of our comfortable ruts, and make us feol badly by show ing us where we may be making great mistakes; if we don't know it, it will not hurt like it Would to know it. If you, who go away, want to practice up-to-date things well and good; but don't come round disturbing our peace ful contemplation of the beauties of our little Gem Empire among the hills. We don't want any prizes of scholarships in colleges, Shetland ponies, or shotguns. The editor was pleased a few days ago upon receiving a letter from Mrs. J. W. Resley.

During the dry weather, most of us would be willing to say with the poet Riley, "It aint no use to grumble or coin plain, It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather and nends (the) rain. Why, rain's my choice." The poor attendance at church sorvices is a matter of j egret. No doubt, excuses may be giv en for absonco from church, but whether the excuses will excuse we do not know.
