Bumgarner, and Lee Chapman, of Belfast township, made a trip to McConnellsburg in the wagon Tuesday. Our first impression upon looking Mr. Bumgarner in the face was, that he had been eating a good deal of sausage this winter and not working much; but we found up on inquiry that his apparent obesity in the face was due to a swollen condition arising from an accident which befel him a few days ago. While hauling wood, he was overcome with dizziness, ell, and cut his upper lip and otherwise injured himself. Belfast township had an addi tion of two to its population last week.

Also, as the latter is said to have suddenly become absent- minded, and the butt of many jokes because of his pride in the first grandchild, so the Rever end's friends are wondering whether the new baby made him orget an appointment last Sao bath.

Mrs. Brown did her market ing by Bell Telephone this morning, in less time than it took you to walk to the car line. She does every morninir: she insists upon the nicest things, and gets them, too A few minutes of Bell Telephoning is worth an hour of tramping around the markets. Ask the Business Office how little it costs. The Bell Telephone Co. of Pa. B. H. Overpeck, Local Manager, Chambersburg, Pa Nothing adds more to. the refinements of home than good music. To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of this county that). have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano. or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See me. Let's talk it over. L. W. FUNK. fT. M. COMERER, atent for 7 Hi.
