We desire to express our
thanks to our neighbors and
friends for their kindness and
sympathy during the sickness
and death of our dear wife and
mother. M. M. Hockensmith and
children.
If any of our readers have
trouble with garlic, and care to
know how to get rid of it, drop
a card to the U. S. Dept. of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C, and
ask for bulletin No. C10. Do this
now, as much of the necessary
work must be done in the fall.
It is reported that J. J. Con
rad3 residence, near Carlisle,
was struck by lightning during a
severe thunder storm on last
Thursday evening, and burned.
We have no further particulars.
Many other buildings in that sec
tion were burned during the
storm, including the barn on the
McCormack estate.
The road makers tried some
new surfacing material on Cove
mountain the other day. Asa
Reefer's dog was lying in front
of the steam roller when the en
gineer, not knowing that the dog
was there, ran over him and flat
tened him out so that he resem
bled a new map of Europe as it
will appear after the war is
ended.
Ethel, little daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. E. J. Croft, of Dane,
drives a pair of spirited horses
to town occasionally all alone,
and delivers produce to dealers,
makes purchases, and transacts
other business just as well as
many others of four times her
tender age. Her brother Lester
wa3 with her to town Monday.
Next thing she will be running
the auto.
One of our reporters lost his
breath for a few minutes Mon
day when he saw a farmer buy
ing a dozen, two-bushel grain
bags and make the remark as he
paid for them, "that's where the
money goes." Naturally our re
porter thought the farmer was
buying the bags to hold twenty
four bushels of money; but the
farmer explained that "money
goes" with bags when borrowers
fail to return them. Our report
er is now a wiser man.
Josiah Allen, hi3 grandaughter
Miss Julia Allen, Miss Ruth Mc
Gheehe, Julian McGheehe and
Andy Fore autoed from Burnt
Cabins to this place last Friday
where they spent a few hours
calling on friends. Mr. Allen re
moved from a point four miles
this side of Chambcrsburg tollli
in 18G5, and about five years ago
returned to Chambersburg. Old
er teamsters will recall when his
father kept hotel on the pike be
tween Loudon and Chambersburg
Josiah is a brother of Andy
Fore's mother.
FACT.
Local Evidence.
Evidence that can be verified.
Fact is what we want.
Opinion is not enough.
Opinions dilTer.
Here's a McConnellsburg fact.
You can test it.
F. M. Taylor, civil engineer,
Water St , McConnellsburg, Pa.,
says "1 suffered from severe
pains in my back and loins. I
had weak kidneys, the action be
ing somewhat irreguhr. 1 was
abvised lo Use Doan's Kidney
Pills by a friend at Burnt Cabins
who told me how he had been
cured by them. I got a box and
could notice a great relief. I al
ways take them with mo when I
go out of town because if I catch
cold, 1 get a slight attack of. the
trouble. When this occurs I can
always depend on Doan's Kidney
Pills. I recommend this remedy
whenever I hear anyone suffering
from backache or kidney weak
ness. I confirm theendorsement
I gave Doan's Kidney Pills some
years ago."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Doa't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Mr. Taylor had.
