the Old Soldier's Reunion, you
should see the new ones for Fall

Soldiers Reunion at Needmore.
It is September 4, 1914, instead
of November.

Eld. II. H. LcfTerts, of Lees
burg, Va will preach at Moses
Mellott's on Friday evening, Au
gust 14th; and both morning and
afternoon, August 15th and 16th,
at Needmore. On Sunday even
ing, August 16th he will preach
at D. W. Mellott's, at Plum Run.
After having caught and . im
pounded 120 dogs in three weeks,
Ilarrisburg's official dog catcher
resigned last week. He was bit
ten mere than three dozen times,
and received numerous thumps
on the head from irate dog own
ers. He received $120 for his
"fun."
Mrs. Euphemia Pomeroy, wid
ow of the late Stephen Pomeroy
a former pastor of the Presby
terian Church of McConnellsburg
and well known throughout the
Cumberland Valley, died at her
home in Harrisburg, Sunday, Ju
ly 25, 1914, after a long illness,
aged 72 years.
Hon. J. E. Thropp's chauffeur,
of Everett, ran over and killed J.
II. Covalt's trick dog while pass
. ing through thi3 place Monday.
Mr. Thropp lett his card in case
of damages. Our old friend
"Nipp", who suns his rheuma
tism in the middle of the square
near this office should read this
notice and take warning.
The J. Nelson Sipes building,
corner of Second and Water
streets, was give a coat of paint
last week, which brightened up
that corner nicely. ' Let the good
work go on. It is not only mon
ey saved by preserving the build
ings, but it gives a good impres
sion of the town to thethonsands
of summer travelers. The Trans
State highway has made McCon.
nellsburg famous as a halfway
station.

Some one broke t o pieces
George E. Tice's mail box. A
year aero some one "borrowed" a
shock of corn from a neighbor
and placed it in George s corn
field. ' George thinks the mail
box was destroyed by the same
party. Destroying, or meddling
with mail boxes, is an offense for
United States officials to punish.
We would much rather take
. chance on stealing corn than to
risk getting Uncle Sam after us
by tampering with mail boxes.
While John Bain, of Webster
Mills, was picking huckleberries
last week on the mountain near
by, he approached a peculiar look
ing formation of rock with the
intention of examining it when
he found himself surrounded by
rattlesnakes. Mr. Bain viewed
them with astonishment until a
big one moved toward him and
he then left the spot somewhat
foster than when he approached
it. The number of ''snaix" in
the "flock" when the report
reached this place was conserva
tively placed at 200.
Notice.
Should Saturday, August the
15th, be a stormy day so that
people cannot attend the Sunday
School picnic at Laurel Ridge, a
festival will be held at that place
the evening of the same day. Pro
ceeds for benefit of church and
Sunday School.

The Evidence Is Supplied by Local
Testimony.
If the reader wants stronger
proof than the following state
ment and experience of a resi
dent of McConnellsburg, what
can it be?
Miss Susan Peightol, Main St.,
McConnellsburg, Pa., Hays: "I
was in poor health for some time
and I believe that weak kidneys
caused the trouble. I suffered
greatly from severe pains in my
back which often darted into my
head. I often became dizzy and
had chills. I was losing strength
daily, and felt poorly m every
way. Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention and I
procured a supply at Trout's
Drug Store. They acted just as
represented and brought me
quicH relief. I know of other
people who havo taken Dotn's
Kidney Pills with great satisfac
tion." KB iiNDOriSKMKNT.
On December 10, 1913 Miss
Peightel said: "I can't make my
endorsement of Doan's Kidney
Pills too strong, and I willingly
verity my former statement.
Whenever I need a kidney reme
dy, I take Doan's Kidney Pills
and am all right in a few days."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
