Now then, if John Hawn can tell a fish story to beat that, let's hear from him. George Lowry showed us an old Irish coin the other day thatis dated 1781. Mr. Lowry considers this coin a valuable relic, which it surely jis. He found it nearly a year ago in the road in front of his house. Doctor Delozier says the Talmage ser- mon we publish every week is alone worth more than tke price of the paper. The doctor has always been noted for his piety and fondness for religious read- ing matter. The following officials have been ap: pointed by the Directors of the poor: L. C. Colborn, Esq., Attorney anc Clerk; John C. Miller, Steward; Dr. J. W. Car- others, Physician. and John Hamer, Treasurer.---Somerrset Standard. The M. E, church of this place will be dedicated Sunday, Jan. 81gt. The ser: vices will be conducted by Rey. Norcross, president of the M. E. Female college of Pittsburgh. Rev. Norcross is an excel: lent speaker, and all should turn out and hear him. The new postal cards are very much different from the old. One is intended for business correspondence and is much larger than the old card. It is a cream Manilla with printing in black. The other is a small ecard for ladies, nearly white, printed in blue ink. : George Lowry is the youngest looking man of his age in all these parts. He is in his 72nd year, but few people would take him to he out of the fifties. He has always been a temperate and indus- trious citizen, as well as one of the most prominent and successful farmers in this locality. Oarlando Flesher and Pete Conley, two giant miners of this region, had a fight in the Company store last Saturday eve- ning. They had two different hitches at it, and those who witnessed the mill in- form ue that Conley came out best in the first round; while Flesher was the victor in the second. Many of our patrons are talking of sub- STAR for their own families, as all of them want to read it at once. Harvey Hay stole a march on his father and brothers Jast week by slipping around to our office and buying an extra before the paper was mailed. ' “Scottie” Easton says he wants to see war with Chili, so that he can enlist, and then, when all is over, he will hold down the dry goods boxes of this town and relate war stories that will bring the patriotism of this country up to a very high standard. On with the war! ‘Let joy be unconfined!” Dr. Speicher had a severe attack of la grippe, this week, but the doctor says in this case the physician followed the Scriptural saying and healed himself. But we believe about all the doctors fol- low that portion of the Scripture. for most of them, after a few years practice, seem to be pretty well “heeled.” Sam Kimmel, who has for some time been conductor on an electric street car line in Pittsburgh, cathe home on a visit the other day. Wonder if Sam didnt come fo secure a job on the windy electric Meyersdale road, which is to be con- structed of the sewer gas which emanates from the offices and throats of the worthy Meyersdale editors. ; The Somerset lawyers have deeided to tender a banquet at one of our hotels on Tuesday evening, January 26th, to Judge Baer and to Judge Longenecker who has succeeded bim on the Beneh in this district. A committee has been ap- pointed to- make all the arrangements. No doubt lots of wit and; wisdom will he uncorked upon the occasion. =Somerset Democrat. We are informed that there was quite a vicious fight in Meyersdale, last Sun- day night, between some of the fighting stock of that village and that of Garrett. Meyersdale got licked like sixty, it is re- ported. We are also informed that a fierce family fight occurred the same night, over in Possum Hollow, in which a young husband of that place was sadly beaten with a poker. When will while winged peace reign supreme! When, oh, when! The report has not yet been confirmed that the state of Elk Lick is going to se- cede from the Union, but it is a fact that a wall is to be built around it. The wall will be built in order to keep Meyersdale from stealing our oil well and sawing it up into 8-foot lengths and selling it for post holes. Meyersdale has already made the attempt to steal our coal region, and we must take care of our own property, even if it costs the price of several electric railroads, David Lichty informs us that his son, Steward, writes from Connellsville that Trae STAR is a great deal of company to him and that be values it highly. Mr. Lichty and his family are taking a great interest in the paper and are doing all for it that they can. Miss Anuie has our thanks for sending a sample copy to a fr end in Chicago. thereby securihg us a f vearly everybody scribing for several more copies of THE who gels a sample copy immediately subscribes. The Somerset Standard’s Elk Lick cor- respondent seems to be a pretty level- headed chap, and in his last week’s items to that p#per he gets off a large grain of truth in the following: “Talk about Sul- isburv, its future prospects and its sur- roundings, but its sidewaiks are a disgrace to the town; they are regular death-traps, and no one will dispute this fact: Their defects will hardly be remedied until some one breaks a limb or a neck and a suit is brought against the boroagh for damages.” It has been suggested by some of our people that the name of our town be changed, and in view of the fact that the town, the postoffice and the railroad sta- tion each bear different names, it would seem that tne suggestion is quite in order. To other names suggested we would add “Yictoria.” This might be too English, you know, to suit all, but the name need not necessarily be given in honor of the English queen. It is a nice name, and why not use it?—Elk Lick Correspondent in Somerset Standard. To the Meyersdale Register, greeting: Do you still think THE STAR has played all its trump? No, no, Georgie, we haven't. We are just loaded with trump and can continye playing them till the cows come home. We know just how to play them, too, in order to rake in the whole jack pot on every deal. It is just as easy as rolling off a log to rake the scalps off such little bald and empty heads as yours. But nobody knows that any better than yon do, so whfs the use of kicking you after: you are already scalped? i Mr. John Wright, Sr., has Deen quite sick for some time. The other day be sold one of his horses to his son, and the wagon and other horse he sold to John Menger. Mr. Wright will no longer con- duct a general deaying and hauling busi- iness. as he is getting too old to properly look after the business. Mr. Wright has well earned a rest, as well as the respect of all his fellow citizens. He iz a fine old gentleman, and THE STAR hopes that he will soon regain his health and enjoy many pleasant days among us in his de- clining years. A Hooversville correspondent says that John Bittinger, the miner who was so brutally assaulted by two men now in jail here charged with the crime, is slow- ly recovering from the injuries he re- ceived at their hands. Dr, Barlett is the physician attending him. and says that while he may and probably will recover, that he will be greatly distignred and probably unable to work any more, The charge against his assailants, by his re- covery, will be redoced from that of mur- der to assault and battery with intent to kill.—Somerset Democrat. Parties desiring to keep posted on the movements of the *‘Soiled Dove” frater- nity have only to read the Meyersdale Register. The Register always keeps its readers posted on such important news. Last week’s Register will tell yon where “Silver Sal” is now hanging out her shin- gle. The Register is a highly moral fam- ily paper, you know, and no good, pure reading matter for the family circle will be excluded from its columns, although the Meyersdale postmaster once excluded it from the mails on account of some of its choice reading matter. Miss Rhoda Robison and Miss Zeélla Easton called at our sanctum last Satur: day evening to raise a row with the edi- tor for saying that they had been living in Scottdale. These ladies say they wouldn’t be caught living in such a:mall town as Scottdale, and authorized us to make a correction and say that they had been living in McKeesport, or there would be blood on the moon. Therefors, we make the correction, for we are not yet prepared to die. Well, ‘call again ladies, for we always like to be visited by good-looking people, especially when they belong to the fair and gentle sex. To Geo. H. Subrie: If you never went to the Meyersdale postmaster with a copy of the Carleton Times and cailed his at- tention to an item therein, will you please state whether any of your employes went to him with a copy of the aforesaid paper on suck mission? If an employe of yours went to the P. M. on such a mis- sion, will you please state whether you sent him on such an errand or not? Now, Georgie, don’t get off any more smart things about frontier journalism and the uncivilized west, as you brand it, but answer these gnestions without any mon- key business, and may the Lord have mercy on your innocent little soul Guess you might just as well acknowl- edge that the Register was in some way mixed up in a dirty and contemptible piece of business. While W. 8. Bennett and wife. of Stonycreek township, were temporarily absent from their home Friday afternoon, attending to farm duties, their five-year- old boy took to playing with the fire in the cooking stove. In a few minutes his clothing became ignited and was burned fiom his body. The child was alone in the house at the tine and when his parents returned they found him ly- ing unconscious on the oor. The flesh on his legs was all charred ‘and cracked, exposing the bones, while his body was burned and shriveled until the intestines were exposed. A half-burned splinter of wood on the floor showed how the ca- Iamity had been brought about. A phy- gician was hurriedly summoned from Shanksville, but was unable to relieve the sufferings of the child and his life is _! terprises, persons leaving the community Ne of —Somerset Herald. We have just received a telegfam from Washington that the war with Chili must go on and that all those desiring reserved seats for the occasion, from which they can see all the fun without the aid of op- era glasses, are to be supplied with tickets at 25 cents each. Family tickets will be furnished at excursion rates. But Mr. Harrison informs us that the United States army will not be called out. He says there is still enough of Captain Samuel Folk’s militia in the state of Elk Lick to settle the row on short order, and Tae Star is authorized to tell Captain Folk to start immediately for the scene of action. Now then, Mr. Folk, get the old boys in line and chuck an extra shirt and pair of socks inte your knapsacks and move on. But remember, the Pres- ident says none of you are to be armed with anything but a canteen of hard ei- der and a stocking filled with hot mush, No shooting is to be done and no stones to be thrown, for fear of damaging the gfrdens of the people who live over in the Argentine Republic. We are in receipt of a letter from an honorable citizen of Carleton, Neb., who says hie has lived in or about Carleton for twenty years. He says he is for Pete Livengood and wants to help to defend him, since being so cowardly assailed by an enemy since leaving that town. Of course he wants us to publish his letter, and should we do so, we will venture the assertion that W. C. Bates and the editor of the. Carleton Repoiter would feel smaller than they ever felt before. But we do not need anyone to help to defend us, for it is just asthe Reporter's Shickley correspondent stated some time ago in the columns of that paper, when he said, “Pete Livengood edited a good paper and is thoroughly competent to fight his own battles.” And that's just exactly the way the thing stands. While we ap- preciate onr Carleton correspondent’s friendship and his desire to aid vs, yet we do not care to waste much more space and printers’ ink on such cattle as W. C. Bates. The Carleton people still remem- ber that mule team transaction that Bates had with poor old Billy Beanblossom, and they will continue to hold him in con- tempt. ‘He that toucheth pitch is de- filed.” so what’s the use to pay much at- tention to W. C. Bates? The Smallest Banker. Robert Philson and child, Jacob C. Philson, Miss Eleanor Philson and F. B. Collins and wife, 8 party from Berlin, a little mountain town in Somerset county on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, ate dinner at the 8t, Charles the other day. They came to Pittsburgh for a day’s pleasure... Robert Philson is a banker and modestly proud of being the small- est person in that business in the world. He condudts a general banking business in Berlin without assistance. He is mar- ried to a lady of normal stature and is the father of a four-year-old child as big as himself. Mr. Philson measures about 88 inches in height, but does not mind his absence of stature.—Pittshurgh Post. Sallsbury’'s New Hotel. I take this means of announcing to the public that my large and elegantly fur- nished hotel will be opened for the ac- commodation of thie public about Feb. 10th. I have spared no pains nor money to fit up my house complete with every- thing that constitutes a good hotel, neither will I spare any pains or money to make ‘my guests comfortable and give them the worth of their money. 1 have spent a great deal of money in the up-building of Salisbury, and I be- lieve I am entitled to get some of my money back. Therefore, I will say to my friends and prospective patrons that I desire your co-operation: in helping me to make this the most complete hotel Sal- isbury has ever had. Give me your sup- port and the benefit of your influence, and I will give you the benefit of a hotel that you will all feel proud of. Respect- fully yours, C.T. Hay. ET” The Winchesters Don’t Tell it All, Mz. Eprror:—we occasionally notice some big talk in your paper about the Winchester guns. Of course the Win: chesters are great guus, but the fellows using them don’t give a full report of all the shooting matches. Attne first match, held at Meadow ran, Alf Wagner's famous Rebel gun won half of the turkeys. At the second, which was gotten up by Kearney Simpkins, | **0ld Rebel” and John Brown's “crowbar” came home with half of the turkeys. The third was gotten up by J. Glotfelty, and the old *‘crowbar” although shooting against six or seven Winchesters, came home with one-third of the entire flock. At the next, which ‘was held at Shaw Mines, three Winchesters from this place and the old “crowbar” and while but one Winchester was marked *‘black feathers,” the old ‘‘crow- bar” got there alone. 80 yon will see that the Winghesters inve not been having things all their own way, afier all, REB. & CROWBAR, Correspondents Wanted.
