GeorgeS. Lay ton and W. C
McKee of Whips Cove drove over
to McConnellsburg in two hours
last Saturday morning in Georges

Walter i3 like a wild goose; when
he feels the chilling winds of
autumn, he migrates to a warm

the 27th of Octoberand, now

Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Garland and
ittle son Jackie, spent a few
hours in town last Saturday.
Mr. Garland owns part of the Ja
cob Wink farm in Belfast town
ship and is rapidly bringing up
his land to a high state of culti
vation. His land is quick to re
spond to lime, and Mr. Garland
is now hauling stone for the sixth
kiln. From a farm that produc
ed a sledload of white-top for
feed a few years ago, he now has
plenty of feed for five or six head
of horses, and other stock in pro
portion.
A few years ago it was predict
ed that this decade would see the
end of the horse. It was to be
thcown in the discard with the
other relics of a wasteful p.iid in
efficient age. The motor vehicle
was going to crowd old Dobbin
out To-day there are more
horses in the United States than
ever before and they are better
ones. We have added 400,000
to the horse population in the
ast two vears but it is possible
that this number will be reduced
by the European embroglio,
which may take over as many as
we have gained, but we will have
the money.

Foot and Mouth Disease Here.
Foot and mouth disease has be
come epidemic in many states,
and State and Federal authorities
are calling on all cattle owners to
work together to stamp it out.
No cattle may be shipped into,
or out of the state. The disease
has appeared to an alarming ex
tent in Franklin, Lancaster, York
Allegheny, Chester, Montgom
ery, Northumberland, Snyder,
Lebanon and Bucks counties.
State authorities ask that as soon
as an animal is suspected of hav
mg this dreaded disease, it be
separated far from others, or kill
ed and that others be kept from
drinking from the same stream
passing over the same grounds,
or in any manner whatever, be
ing exposed to the disease. Re
port all cases at once to the State
Agricultural Department at Har
risburg. Also, see to it that your
neighbors obey the request to
stop the spread of the trouble,
Keep it out of Fulton county by
all means.

It Pajs to Go to Sundavschool.
Clifford Lininger is the name
of the boy that is making him
self generally useful in the Rack
et store, and, like all other good
boys, he goes to Sunday school.
On a Sunday morning recently,
as he was on his way to Sunday
school, his eye caught sight of
something shining in the leaves
by the sidewalk in front of the
ulton House, and upon picking
it up, found that he had in his
hand, a splendid gold watch. He
kept a lookout for the owner.
When the Fulton County News
came out the following week, it
contained an advertisement in the
Lost and Found column, stating
that a watch had been lost, and
gave directions for its return.
Clifford promptly sent the watch
to its owner, who happened to be
an automobile tourist and was
rewarded by receiving a crisp
five-dollar bill.

Longevity.
Our friend Uriah W. Kline,
ijicKing reeK township, was in
town yesterday. While Uriah
will be 81 if he lives to the 11th
day of January, he is as active
as many persons twenty years
younger. When it comes to husk
ing corn, he turns out as much
as anybody else. He is still fond
of hunting. Out of fifteen shots
this season he killed fifteen squir
rels. Uriah looks good for many
years yet His father died at the
Ufcc of 10; his brother Abram, at
94; his brother Pete, living near
Deshler, O., is 86.
I
Sailed For England.
Harry Irwin, traveling foreign
salesman for the Landis Tool
Company of Waynesboro, was
home over Saturday night with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A
Irwin, and on Sunday the latter
accompanied him on his way to
Washington as far as Ilagers
town. At Washington Harry re
ceived his passport, and sailed
on the good ship Lapland yester
day for London. Harry's regu
lar territory is Germany, but ow
ing to war conditions in that
country, he will cover England,
Scotland, and Ireland until the
situation in Germany will war
rant his going there.
At the present rate of conscript
in the countries now at war,
there will be many workmen left
to run European factories, and
Americans will be called upon
to supply most manufactured ar
ticles needed there until the war
ends and business resumes nor
mal conditions. We feel sure
that Harry will have good trade
abroad.
