have married and left town to
make their homes elsewhere is

sides at Martin's Ferry, O. A
telegram received by her father,
Dr. A. D. Dalbey last Sunday an

R. M. Cline, M. W. Nace, E.
R. McClain, B. C. Lamberson
and B. W. Peck went over to
Chambersburg last Saturday
evening to hear W. Jennings
deliver his Chautauqua lecture
"The Signs of the Times." While
the big tent in which the lecture
was delivered had a seating ca
pacity of two thousand, scores of
people who applied for admission
could not be accommodated.
Sheriff James J. Harris treated
himself and family to a new Ford
touring car last week. Like
everything else Jim undertakes
to do, he can run it first rate.
There seems to be but one cure
for the auto fever get one. Dur
ing a recent ride to Harrisburg
with R. M. Cline, Jim's fever
rose to 110 degrees, and the only
way it could be reduced was to
let Cline order him a machine.
Mrs. John Conrad met with
peculiar accident last Thursday
that might have cost her the los3
of an eye. She was in the act of
prying open a box of rat poison,
when the gas in the can finished
the task with such force that the
flying lid struck one of the len
ses of her eyeglasses, breaking it
into several pieces; and slightly
injuring an eye. Mrs. Conrad
has been in poor health for some
time, and the shock caused her
to faint.
The storm of Friday night, Ju
ly 10th. blew down the tall corn
in II. S Daniels' lot in town and
on the following PYiday h e
brought a damaged stalk to the
News office. The ear that had
just started was nearly seven
feet from the root. If the theory
that the ear comes half way to
to the top is correct the stalk
would have grown to fourteen
feet in height, had it been per
mitted to grow. Pretty good
for July 17th.
After having spent several
months in Washington, D. C,
with her niece, Mrs. Marshall
McKibbin, Miss Mollie Seylar re
turned to her home in this place
last week. Miss Seylar was one
of the 400 Suffragettes who re
cently marched up Pennsylvania
Avenue in Washington to ask
President Woodrow Wilson to
use his influence to have the
"Votes-f or-Women" bill, that is
now before Congress, passed
Mr. Wilson replied in guarded
phrases without committing him
self. Secretary of State, Wm.
Jennings Bryan, afterwards pub
licaly expressed his sentiment on
the question by saying that he
would not care to have any privi
leges that Mrs. Bryan could not
enjoy.
The Name of McConacIlsburg
Familiar to All.
Who are the Witnesses.?
They are McConnellsburg peo
ple. Residents of McConnellsburg
who have bad kidney backache,
kidney ills, bladder ills; who have
used Doaa's Kidney Pills. These
witnesses endorse Doan's.
One of McConnellsburg resi
dents who speans is L. A Youse,
retired butcher, of E. Water St.,
He says: "About three years ago
my back ached badly and it hurt
me to stotp or lift. Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Trout's
Drug Store, soon gave ma relief.
I gladly endorse them.
Mr. Youse is only one of many
McConnellsburg people who have
gratefully endorsed Doan's Kid
ney Pills. If your back aches
if your kidneys bother you don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy,
ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney
Pills, the same that Mr. Youse
had the remedy Ducked by home
testimony. 50c all stores. Fos-ter-Milburn

"I'm Going To Smith's."
Did you ever realize tne value
of having the name of your busi
ness a by word among your town
people?
When people say, "I'm going
to Smith's," instead of "I'm go
ing to town," it means a lot for
Smith.
It means that Smith and bis
business are being advertised for
him by word of mouth, and with
out cost.
Advertising in the News will
place yon so prominently and so
favorably before the public that
when they tnink of an article in
your line they will, at tbe same
time thiuk of you.
And you will get the business,

sparrows to field sparrows

What an Inch of Rain Keans.
Did you ever realize the thou
sands of tons ot rain tall even in
the smallest showers? When
you read in the paper that the
precipitation was one inch you
probably fail to comprehend just
what that means, but if you were
told that during the rain 110 tons
of water, or COO huge barrels had
fallen on each acre of ground,
then probably you would be able
to visualize just what had happen
ed when tne little drops came
pattering on the roof.
When you reflect that rain
storms otten cover great areas
and extend for many hours, or
until four or five inches have fal
len, you can imagine the enor
mous oceans of water that are
precipitated duringa storm. You
can also get a fair idea of the
reason why so-called cloud-bursts
frequently do such fearful dam
age.
