DEAR EDITOR: —We have the honor to

“Tnx SOMERSET COUNTY STAR,” and hope
we may never fail to get all other num-
bers, previous and subsequent. That we
were surprised may be imagined. Ain't
it a hummer for news? and published in
Salisbury as well! Surely the old burg
has drawn a prize heyond its most san-
.guine expectancy, if not in exceas of its
merit. This latter statement remains to
be proven. With united effort in indi-
vidual support, tne people of Elk Lick
can hold it to its brillinncy. If educated

else before failing to support their local
paper. No difference how many County,
City or Literary publications they may
take, it is a duty to take the local paper.
It is an especial effort in your behalf.
You means every man and family ina

duty. it must be a source of pleasure to
the manager to cause THE STAR yet more

There is no question so easily answered
by an observant person as that of Mey-
ersdale’s source of supremacy. That
which has made the Metropolis was once
the property of Salisbury, but they voted
“No” and the Commercial. the first and
most powerful lever to advancement, be-
came of the Dale a part. To the nncens-
ing energy of Lou Smith, and the liberal
use of printers’ ink in missionary work.
the merchants, professional men and
tradesmen in general converted all the
country to the belief that any and every-
thing sprung from, if not actually grew in
Meversdale, and that for little or nothing.
‘Salisbury and beyond have for years been
doing all their cash trading at Meyersdale.

it will grow as has this place done at
your expense. A live newspaper at Sal

vour field of operations to Garrett coun-
ty, Md., Greenville, and beyond. B8alis-’
bury has a far finer field to work upon
than had Meyersdale. Merchants there
are a wide-awake set. Not only do they
advertise heavily, but when they have a
good article in type, a regular sure draw-
er, they have an extra hundred or thou-
sand of that issue sent to parties not yet
subscribers, as sample copies. True, it
costs a little more, but don’t be afraid the
printer may grow rich by it. Should he
gain a snbscriber, you are sure of a con-
vert. Tell ye what—* business must be

comment, as we have heard but one side of the
case: :
On the evening of Jan. 2nd, 1892, three
couples from this place went to Meyers-
dale, Pa.,
to attend a lecture delivered by
Byron W. King. Our driver took us to
Mr. Nat Slicers hotel, where we alighted
and went into his Sitting room, where we
staid a few minutes and then went to the
lecture. After the lecture we returned
to the aforesaid hotel, where we expected |
to wait until our driver brought the team
around to'idke us home. Before we re-
turned to the hotel, however, the Sitting
room was darkened, so we went into the
