Amos Barber and a large force of helpers raised his big barn last Saturday. Contractor Watson C. Peck started this week to frame a large barn for Alex Bradshaw. Mrs Sarah Garland, of Pleas ant Ridge, is visiting friends in this section and while here, is at tending the Hoffman Thomas revival services at Pleasant Grove Rev. A II. Garland, of Belle Grove, Md., is attending the re vival services at this place. Elmer Lay ton who is on the sick list is slowly improving. Many of the farmers of this section are contemplating the naming of their farms. By all means, give the home-place a name. Select a name suitable for the location; but let it have dignity. For instance "Clover Blossoms" may sound sweet but "Clover Dale," or "Clover Hill," is more dignified. Bonny Brook sounds well if a pretty little stream flows near; but "Frog Hollow" dees not look well m print. 11 large trees abound, "The Oaks" might describe it; hut "Possum Hill" might embar rass you m case the Governor called to see you. If great cliffs are near, "Cliffs," "The Cliffs," or, "The Crags," would sound well; but "Buzzards Roost" would be awful! If a fine view is to be had, say so in suitable terms but 'Lazy Man's Rest, would be too suggestive. SIDELINQ HILL Ex Commissioner James R. Sharpe, of Dott, has purchased a five passenger Ford automobile. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Scot4. Lynch, a daughter. Miss Mamie Lynch, of Everett, is visiting in this community. Master Ralph Garland, of Bag erstown, is spending some time with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Job L. Garland. John Bowers and family, of Warfordsburg, have moved to the Henry Lay ton farm.

WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good. To correct catarrh you should treat Its eause by enriching your blood with the oil-food In Scott's Emulsion which is medicinal food nnd a building-tonic, free omalcoholorany harmfuldrugn. Tryit.

At the end of the luncheon each guest drew by means of the ribbon a favor of the evening. "Tue place cards were adorn ed with pink and -white cupids and the announcement cards were pink and white hearts pie read with a dart and bearing the names of Miss Clark and Dr. Mellott. At each plate was pink basket filled with forget-me nots. un entering the dining room the guests were greeted by Miss Clark who stood at the head of the table wearing the telltale dia mond. During the evening each guest hemmed a tea towel and embroidered her initials on it giving it to the bride to be as t remembrance of the evening.

Indiana, VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION Plaintiff's Explanation No Doubt Aroused Considerable Sympathy In the Judge. Of the many excellent stories Judge Bodkin tells in his reminis cences perhaps the most amusing is that concerning a case in which the famous Sergeant Armstrong ap peared for the defendant against a plaintiff who sought to recover a cer tain debt. The latter, a most respect able old gentleman, clearly proved the debt, and tho sergeant rose to examine him. "Without a word he handed the witness a sheet of blue paper with writing and an obliterated stamp upon it. "The witness just glanced at the document, then silently handed it back to the sergeant. Still without a word he took oil his spectacles, put them in their case, the case in his pocket, picked up his hat and began to move unobtrusively out of tho wit ness box. "What's all this, what's all this?' queried the bewildered judge. " 'Only the gentleman's receipt jn full for the amount claimed, said tho sergeant "The plaintiff, half out of the wit- ness box, turned to the judge with the air of a man who has been era elly misled. " 1 take my solemn oath, my lord,' ne said, earnestly, 'I never woul have brought the action but that I was led to believe that the receipt was burned. TO REMOVE STAINS OF INK imormation That Is Worth Being maae a matter or Household Record. One of the most maddening stains is that of ink. The time-honored remedy for fresh ink is milk, and many a good table cover, handker chief or blouse has been saved for fu ture usefulness by placing the stained portion in milk and allowing it to stana. As soon as the milk becomes discolored pour it off and put on iresn. Where there is no color to fade an ink stain may be removed by pouring a ten per cent solution of oxalic acid on the stain and letting it stand lew minutes before rinsing. This should be repeated until the stain disappears. The last rinsing should be in water to which borax or ammo nia has been added, says an exchange. If the ink is dry and well set it is hard to remove, but in most cases it will yield to an application of Bait and lemon juice or to javelle water uuuteci by the same amount of boil ing water.
