Levi Snyder, who had been sick for n long timé, died lust Thursdiy evening. He was 66 years old and resided in Salls- bury forabt ten years. His remains were taken to New Centerville for burial, where lis first wife was laid to rest some years ago, Mr. Snyder was'a quiet law- abiding citizen, kind in his disposition, and he will be missed by his fellowmen. For a number of years he drove a hack | from Salisbury to Meyersdale-and served the town in the capacity of constable. To. the Register: Tae STAR has no bad feeling toward ‘Meyersdale. Your town is a good one, but Salisbury Is go- ing to become a beter one, The local papers must all puff their own towns. and if they can get up an active rivalry by indulging in a little friendly criticism, even to the extent of arousing jealousy, will it not have a tendency to help all of us? When towns begin to get jealous of each other, that't when they begin to try to outds each other, and the more they try to outhoom and outgrow each other, the better it will be for eyerybedy. The Méyersdale Commercial slope over once more and again attemps to cover it- self with glory that does not belong to it. It claims to be the first paper to air the West Salisbury elevator project. The Commercial Is off its base; as usual, for the same duy and date that Bro. Bmith had alittle two- for-a-cent squib in his paper shout the proposed elevator. TrE Star had about one column of wall: written matter and reliable information concerning the same. It is a weakness that Bro. Smith has to try to cover him- self with more glory than is due him, and if it wasn’t for the Registér-nceasion- ally ‘sitting down on him when he de- serves it, his self conceit. and ridiculons claims would surely explode Kim, : In speaking of the lute hail storm that visited Berlin, the Record says: “Prob: ably the most exciting scene to ‘tamil x crubbed since it was built) si will be held at the | ff We find that we’ can, under buying: : 3 wissen ore pierced or shattered 10 pieces.
