Mr. S.'N. 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. A little daughter was born
to Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Hollins-
head, and one to Mr. and Mrs. B
E. Waltz. Just as theVecently
born White House baby made
resident Wilson a grandpa for
the first time, so the Waltz baby
put our friend Rev. John Mellott
in the same class with Mr Wil
son. 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.

get up often at night on account
of the kidney secretions. I was
tired out when I got up in the
morning and I didn't feel like do
ing any work. I had a doctor at
the time, but he only gave me a
little relief. A friend insisted
upon me taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, as he was cured by them.
1 got two boxes at Trout's Drug
Store, and found great relief at
once."

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.
