Kendall left a box of apple3 of the 1914 crop at this office yesterday which are in splendid condition. As a rule, apples do not keep well about a print shop. Next Tuesday being Election Day, is declared by the laws of this State to be a legal holiday, and in consequence, both the banks in McConnellsburg will be closed all day. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac D. Boling er and their children, Mary, Morrow, and Alice, of Shade Gap, passed through McConnells burg in their automobile last Sat urday morning on their way to the lower end of the County to visit Mrs. Bolinger's mother, Mrs. Benj. Bedford, and other relatives. The series of meetings con ducted by Evangelist Hoffman and his choir leader Prof. Thom as, at Pleasant Grove, is awaken ing much interest and bringing together large crowds. While Dr. Hoffman has been under the care of a physician for several weeks, his manner of presenting the message to sinners shows no weakness. From Pleasant Grove they will go to New Jersey, and thence to Ohio and Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Adam West, Le Roy Evans, Crouse Fisher, and Harry B. Noll-all of Chambers burg, went to the home of Mrs. West's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Reeder near Hustontown, Mon day, and the men of the party spent the time until yesterday morning hunting in that neigh borhood, with the result that they returned home yesterday with three wild turkeys the larKst of which weighed 19 lbs. six squirrels, and one pheasant. As this is the last issue before election day, the candidates are appropriating a large share of the space in the News in a last word to voters. Next week the election advertising will all be out, and there will be lots of space then for the usual grist of local news. It is the duty of every citizen in the County to go to the polls. The humblest man has the same voice in deciding who shall be the officials as the richest. The main thing is, thai the voter shall carefully weigh the responsibility entrusted tc him, and then shall cast his bal lot according to his own best judgment, and in accordance wit! his own inner conscience.

You tell the dif ference by taste and smell and price. But how about kerosene? There is good and bad kerosene just the same as eggs. How can you tell the difference? Certainly not by taste or smell. No, nor by price, for you can buy the best kerosene sold at no greater cost than the common kind if you will ask your grocer for ATLANTIC o Rayolight burns longest and brightest and produces the greatest heat A scientific process of refining prevents it from charring wicks or causing smoke and soot Neither will it create unpleasant odors when burning.
