Colborn, of Somerset, was 3 caller at our den Iast week. A bad great many of our farmers hed ‘busi: ness with him concerning sugar license. No new liquor licenses were granted in the county this year, and some of the old ones failed to get renewed. Thomas Williame is one of the applicants that got ‘knocked out. Prof. Livengood was on the sick list this week and on that account was un- able for a few days to teach his school. Prof. Dickey, however, kept all the schools going. About thirty of the Elk Lick council, Jr. 0. U. A. M., went to Johnstown to attend the Washington's birthday cele- bration. They all report a good time and an immense gathering. If such villages as Confluence. Rock- wood and Berlin can have electric light, "we fail to see why Salisbury, which is 8 better town than all three of them put together, should not bave it. > The oil well is now down aver 9, 900 feet and the prospects for ofl are getting brighter and brighter.

What's the matter with some of the Republican candidates that thev do not annonnee their candidacy in all the re- publican papers of the county?

THE STAR is delayed this week on ac- count of important matters pertaining to electric light which were tardy in mate- rializing, Lut which our citizens de- manded to have appear in this issue. mit that there is considerable moss grow- ing on the backs of some of our citizens. from the date of the passage of the act. Ie you have chapped hands, face, or elnction. The hard fight was on schobl directors, all of which were elected by the Republicans, but they blundered in not specifying on their tickets the! length of time the board is to serve. The law requires this, and the Democrats having complied with the law now claim the school board, although in the minority.

The above from the Meyersdale Com- mercial, a paper that for the past year or 80 has been hovering between life and death, and which even now just tries to be sufficiently alive to save funeral ex- penses, is about the best sample of green- eyed jealousy that we have run across for some time. The Commercial tries all sorts of means to get patronage from Salisbury and vicinity, vet it either ignor- antly or willfully tries to injure this place all it can by publishing false state- ments concerning our industries, the above being a fair sample of its lies, In regard to the Extract works, Tax Star will inform the narrow-minded ed- itor of the Commercial that there are 21 men employed at those works during Fellow citizens, if we can get an elec- person who sent us this bit of news had |the day time and 14 at night.

We are glad to note that our city dads are going to entorce the pavement or- dinance. That's a step in the right di- rection, and the owner of defective pave- ment will do well to read the notices we printed for the borough this week. “1 like THE STAR very ‘much. I think itis the paper of the county.” Thus writes Miss Lydia Mesager, who is teach- ing school near Wellersburg. In eo say- ing she shows that she is a good judge of a newspaper ¢ as well as a good school teacher. Are you: in favor of electric light, or are you a croaker? You cannot afford to be a croaker; therefore, join the proces- sion and help to boom yourtown. Elec: tric light will be a great advertisement for Salisbury and will increase its trade and general prosperity wonderfully. Albert Lowry and Ed Haselbarth came ‘pretty near landing on that beautiful shore, Monday last. They were up on the top scaffold at Beachy’s hardware building, when it gave way; and had they not caught on the one: below it, they would likely have been hurled to death. Mrs. Caleb Bath, who had been ill for a long time, having consumption, ‘died today sbout:noon. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her death. Funeral will take place on Sanday fore- noon, in the Evangelical church.’ Tae STAR extends its sympathy 10 the strick- en family. : ~ Mr. and Mrs: R. B. Sheppard svended the Colored hanguet given in Meyersdale by the Keystone club, jon Washington's birthday." Mr. Bheppurd reports’ a yery y were aboot M. J Beachy says he went down to the Extract works one day and remained there one hour. During that short space of time he says 82 different teams came there with wood, “not one of which was from Meyersdale or Summit Mills. - But the Meyersdale Commercial says most of the wood comes from Summit Mills, Mey- ersdale, Garrett. and Berlin. and of course the Commercial knows, but fu seems rather strange that the Extract Co. didn’t locate the works on the main road, at Meversdale, where according to the Commercial it would be right in the heart of the wooded district.” The Commercial should tell the truth once in a while, just for luck. If Lou Smith continues to talk luny” much longer; the people will be- gin to think that he is in his dotage. For some time there has been trouble between employer and employes atthe Statler and Standard mines. This finally led to the discharge of nearly all the men employed ai those mines, but a few were | retained and continued to work on. Mr. Statler claims that the discharged men have been trying to intimidate those who were not discharged. and last week he had the following persons arrested on the charge of gonspiracv: John Fair, C. 8. Beal, Norman. Crossen, - Grant Dean, Frank Fair and Richard Embelton. They | were arraigned before Bquire Lowry and had 10 give bail for their appearance at court. “The settlement of the case is anxiously looked forward to, as there seems to-be a great deal of difference of opinion as to what the outcome of the affair will Ye. Squire Lichliter requests us to state that be is not a Democrat, as appeared last week in the election returns pub: lished in this paper.

JF BNE curing the loeation of the Extract works, that bankrupt sheet and the sorebeads of | that town are now continually raising a ing all the fish in the river. It's develish little they are worrying. about the fish. The thing in reality that worries them is the fact that they are seeing that the en- terprise of is eventually going to kill their town. ‘That's the thing that pinches Meversdale and the only thing. else to dé but gb fishing, as seéims to bie the case in Meyersdale, there may be some cause for slat for the welfare of the dear fish; but in a live town like Salis- works of ‘more benefit than the finny tribe, they don’t care much whether the fish are killed or not, as they haven't got mueh time for fishing, anyway. Mey- ersdale needn’t be alarmed about the fish, however, for if the fish are killed in the river. our enterprising business men up here will go to Meyeradnle and make a fine assortment of fish, so that the people of that town will not suffer for lack of good fishing. - The people of Salisbury are accommodating and will do anything reasonable to furnish Meyersdale employ- ment. aL ; Golng to Blow Their Horns. The band boys of this town are going to reorganize and go to blowing their horns; that is if the citizens will come down with a little “stuff” to help the cause along. The men for the band are picked musicians and will make a better | band than Somerset county ever had before. to buy a few new instruments-and some new music, and if the citizens will all chip in liberally, we will once more have the best band of the county and the cost to each individual will be but a trifle. In a few days you will all be called on by a solicitor, and upon your liberality depends the organization of the band.
