Cattle Killed.
Last Saturday evening, about
5 o'clock, lightning struck a tree
under which three cows and a
heifer were standing on Miss
Fannie Miller's farm near Dane
and all four catt'e were killed.
Miss Miller carried insurance
and with the exception of the
trouble of replacing them, her
loss will not be great.
A WORD FOR MOTHERS
It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and Buffer in
silence this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is tiring; if your nerves are
excitable; If yott feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott's
Umulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses la concentrated form the
v7 dements to invigwate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
Scott's is strengthening thousands of
mothers and will help you. No alcohol.

Pecaos Profitable.
Persons who eat the ordinary
little hard shell pecan know but
little about the pleasure afforded
in munching the "cultivated" nut
as grown in Southern Georgia.
J. C. Maun has just returned
from that section where he in
stalled a large'mill, and he hand
ed the editor a few of what is
known in the markets as the pa'
per-sneii pecan. They are, in
size, about three times as large
as the natural variety, but the
shell is thin and brittle, and the
kernel full and rich.
The soil in Southern Georeia is
especially adapted to its growth.
A tree twelve years old will pro
duce one bushel of nuts every
year. The nuts weigh 40 lbs. to
the bushel, and they bring to the
producer CO cents a pound or
$24.00 a bushel. Twenty-six
trees are planted to the acre;
hence, after a grove is started
an annual intome of $024 anacre
is "sure thing." Better than
Buckwheat.
Clonser Freeman.
On Wednesday noon, May 31st,
two of McConnellsburg's highly
respected and honored young peo
ple were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. The groom, Har
ry Andrew Clouser, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Amos Clouser, has been
employed in Carlisle for the last
four years. The bride is Miss
Ethel Freeman, the well known
granddaughter of Mrs. Susan My
ers. After the ceremony, which
was performed by the pastor,
Rev. Robt. E. Peterman, in the
Lutheran parsonage, the bride
and groom left for Carlisle, where
they intend to be at home in the
near future at 120 East North
Street. Many hearty wishes and
congratulations from a host of
friends are following them.
New Markers.
Mr. H. C. Osterman, Field
Secretary of the Lincoln High
way Association, was in town
Tuesday, arranging for the re
painting of the signs along the
route from San Francisco to New
York. The Association does the
work, a big paint house furnish
es the paint gatuitously, and the
counties through which the road
passes are supposed to pay for
the actual work. Fulton Coun
ty's allotment is fifteen dollars,
which is being raised by popular
subscription. George A. Harris
was appointed by Mr. Osterman
to have charge of the work in
this county, of course, serving
without pay.
Want an Institute?
Couuty Chairman of Farmers'
Institutes, Frank Ranck, has re
quested the News to say that
Fulton county has been allotted
three 2-day institutes fqr this
year. Wells Valley can have
theirs by reason of their being
disappointed last year, if they
wish and will apply. This leaves
two places to be selected. Mr.
Ranck requests those interested
to make application to him at
Hancock, Md. These institutes
are of vast interest, and the com
munity that wants one should
get busy at once or get left.
Honored the Pastor.
A9 mentioned by the News on
May 18th, Rev. C. W. Sevil re
signed the pastorate of St Pauls
Lutheran church at Minneapolis,
Kansas, and on account of ill
health, accepted a call to Gyp

well party was given in his hon

Alfalfa for lUp.
During the past two winters,
careful experiments have been
made at State College in feeding
hegs alfalfa or some other le
gume. Sows ana other hogs net
intended for killing were tried on
alfalfa alone and the results were
satisfactory. Ech sow consum
ed about five pounds a day and
received no grin. Others were
fed a little grain along with the
hay and naturally, they were a
little fatter, but not more healthy.
This should be of interest to
our Fulton county people who
know that hogs can almost gath
er their own living during sum
mer months, but the high cost of
grain to winter the sows deters
some from feeding as many as
they would like to keep. Good
clover, or soybeans will take the
place of alfalfa, and all three can
be made to do well when proper
ly planted in our slatelands and
yield many more dollars worth
than the average corn crop.
