Mr. Ray is in the tailoring business in his own shop, and reports all kind3 of business good in the big steel works of that place.

The glue with which they are stuck to the pa per is composed of enough ferti lizer to give the seedling a good start in life, and the back-break ing job of dropping the seed3 is eliminated.

Wm. Hoop, of Licking Creek township, was taken to the Cham bersburg hospital Wednesday of last week, in the hope that an operation for cancer of the stom ach might relieve his suffering. but after the physicians had made a careful examination of their patient, they advised that he return home without undergo ing what they said would be i useless, and perhaps fatal opera tion. Mr. Hoop was brought home Saturday. Hi 3 brother Judge J. W. Hoop, was out to see him a few days ago and reports that he is not able to walk unas sisted. Charles, son of William Black, of this place, was taken to the Chambersburg hospital Thursday of last week where Doctors Pal mcr and Skinner used the A-ray to examine a dislocation of the elbow. About a month ago Char lie fell and dislocated one of ' his elbows. Dr. Dalby reduced it Two weeks later the boy fell and in.iured the same joint, but was not thought at the.time that the injury -wa3 serious. Ten day later the Doctor was called to see him, and it was found that the elbow was again out of joint. Owing to the time that had el apsed, the Doctor could not re-locate the bones without the aid of the X-Ray. The Chambersburg doctors reduced it to almost nor mal, and Charles may yet regain the full use of his arm. DOING THEIR DUTY. Scores of McConnellsburg Readers are Learning the Duty of the Kidneys.
