Beginning at one o'clock p. m., the un- dersigned will sell at public sale, on the premises in the borough of Salisbury, Pa., Tuesday, Sept. 20th, 1892, fourteen valu- able town lots, formerly known as the Dr. Brookman property. Four of these lots front on Grant street, the main street of the town, the other ten fronting on Gay street. One of those fronting on Grant street has erected there- on a good two-story house, stable and out buildings. 8ize of lots, 50x181 feet. Some of them have an abundance of choice fruit. These lots are all situated in one of the most desirable portions of the town and are in a high state of cultivation. This is an excellent opportunity to se- cure one of the best lots in the best all- round town in the county. ‘Chere are many public works in the vicinity and many thousands of dollars are paid out annually for labor. This accounts for the town’s prosperity, as plenty of work can always be had at good wages. The town is a very healthful and pleasant one to reside in and has very bright pros- pects for ‘continued prosperity. It is growing rapidly and has now about 1000 “inhabitants. Do not fail to attend this sale. Terms will be made known on day of sale. J. M. SMITH, Auctioneer. Mgrs. G. W. BRALLIER, Per J. N. Davis. Autumn in the. Mountains.

Ter., says: “I induced Mr. Pinsun, whose wife had paralysis in the face, to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. To their great surprise before the bottle had all been used she was a great deal better, Her face had been drawn to one side; but the Pain Balm relieved all pain and soreness and the mouth assumed its nat- ural shape.” It is also a certain cure for rheumatism, lame back, sprains, swell- ings and lameness. 50 cent bottles for sale by Copland, the Druggist, Meyers- dale, Pa. BEATTY’S PIANOS AND ORGANS. Hon. Daniel FP. Beatty, the great Organ and Piano fs building and more Organs and Planos than ever. Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by his indomitable will he has worked his way up 50 as to sell go far, nearly 160,000 of Beatty's Or- gaus and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to dishearten him; obstacléslald in his way, that would have wrecked any ordinary man forever, he turns to an advertisement and comes out of it brighter than ever. lis instruments, as is well known, are very popular and are to be found in all parts of the world. We are informed that during the next ten years he intends to sell 200,000 more of bis make, that means a business of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each. It is already the largest business of the kind in existence—Send to Daniel F. Beatty, Washing- ton, New Jersey, for Catalogue. Capt. W. A. Abbott, who has long been with Messrs. Percival and Hatton, Real Estate and Insurance Brokers, Des Moines, Iowa, and is one of the best known and most respected business men in that city, says: “I can testify to the good gnalities of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Having used it in my tamily for the past eight years I can safely say it has no equal for either colds or croup.” 25 and 50 cent. bottles for sale by Cop- land, the Druggist, Meyersdale, Pa.

He says: **At times it was very severe: so much 80 that I feared it would end my life. About seven years ago I chanced to pro- cure a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol- era and Diarrlicca Remedy. It gave me prompt relief, and I believe cured me per- manently, as I now eat or drink without harm anything I please. I have also used itin my family with the best results.” For sale by Copland, the Druggist, Mey- ersdale, Pa. J. T. Shipley just received a swriond of Buggies. OLD SAILORS AND SOLDIERS. Low Rates and Great Preparations for Their Reunions at Baltimore and Washington. The thousands of sailors and soldiers who par ticipated in the late war feel an inspiring interest in the meeting of the Naval Veterans Associa- tion, at Baltimore, Sept. 15th to 19th, and in the S Natiohal Encampment Grand Army of the Re- public at Washington, D. C.. commencing Sep- ‘tember 20th. They will be the most extensive and most distinguished military gatherings in Ameri- ca since the close of the war, and as the G. A. R. Encampment 80 closely follows the nava! meet- ing, an opportunity will be afforded, for all sail- ors and soldiers to participate in the festivities The scene of each gathering will be fraught with a thousand memories of the war—of deeds of valor hi : and of th 1088 of 1 : The President, his cabinet and other distin- guished personages will review the Grand Army Parade on the 20th. The White Squadron by its presence in the harbor of Baltimore will add an important feat- ure to the naval veteraus’ meeting. Interest in the reunions will not be confined to veterans alone, but also to thousands ‘of appre- ciative citizens to whom the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. will offer the same low rates as to veterans, At both Baltimore and Washington ample pro- vision will be made by local committees for the accommodation of all who may attend, and to all both cities extend a hearty welcome. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will add coaches to its regular trains, and will run special trains at frequent intervals. Tickets sold by the B. & O. R. R. to both Balti- more and Washington, will contain most liberal privileges, They will be on sale at all stations, from September 13th to 20th, inclusive, at rate of one lowest first-class fare for the round trip, and will be good for return journey until October 10th. They will be valid to stop off at all sta- tions, from Cumberland to Baltimore—a region familiar to everv veteran. During the encamp- ment, excursions at low rates will be run daily from Washington to Antietam, Gettysburg. and other noted battlefields within access of Wash- ington.

In the course of Rockwood’s rapidly increas- ing importance, it has become necessary that due and merited prominence be shown her through the colums of TH STAR. Notwithstand- ing Rockwood has and is very successfully rep- resented through the colums of nearly every pa- per in the county, yet we feel dutv-bound to as- cribe to her greatness from time to time by con- tributing all the happenings worthy of notice. We hope thereby to be profited ourselves as well To Baltimore, ‘as add to the interest and entertainment of STAR readers generally. Miss Lydia Holtzhouer. of Meyersdale, spent several days visiting her brother, Geo. Holtzhouer. Miss Clara Lane, of Broadforward, Pa., is visit- ing friends and relatives at this place and Johus- town, Pa. W. E. Baker, formerly of this place, but now of Pittsburg, is the guest of his parents. Mr. Baker is employed as a compositor on the Pitts- burg Post. Mr. Irvin Ream and wife are spending a few days with her parents. Miss Jennie Brendel was attending the W. C. T. U. convention held at Salisbury. Reunion day held by the Reformed congrega- tion was one of the most pleasant occasions of the kind for a number of years. Unlike other re- union days observed here, it failed to rain. A better day could not have been selected. Not a cioud blurred the radiant blue sky and all was merriment and general satisfaction. S.A. and J. R. Haines, and W. H. H. Baker deserve special mention for preparing grounds. A large shed was erected for protection, in case it rained. Fortunately, it was not needed, but answered very well as a refreshment room. Among other improvements was the finding of a new spring of water, which is more conveniently situated than the old spring. J. R. Haines is generally credited as discoverer. A brass band is all that would have added to the interest and entertain- ment of the program. May the jovs of this re- union day remain fresh in the minds of all who participated and may it be revived the coming season in a still greater degree of perfection. Rev. Lichliter will preach his last sermon for this conference year, Sundav, Sept. 18th. We are on the verge of a cholera pestilence,” isthe langnage of many. Have we reasons to fear an introduction of the cholera scourge?! We think not; al least I hope not. We think all nec essary precautions are being taken to prevent it. It would be well. however, if we would investi- gate every sewer—well, in short everything that might invite this destructive visitor. We should profit by Hamburg’s negligence. Let unison of mind, hand and soul prevail in bringing about every possible result material to the non-invasion of that dreadful enemy, cholera. Edward Bach, of Indiana, Pa., is visiting friends at this place. Ed used to be one of our boys and it affords us much pleasure to meet him once more. Hope he will have a good time and enjoy himself exceedingly. Sept. 6th, 1892. OCCASIONAL. State Line. We have had frost. A good rain yesterday and last night. Farmers are now busy getting their wheat sowed. Some are done sowing, while others have most of their ground to plow yet. Miller, Baker & Gingerich are threshing in this section at present. A child of Simon Maust is sick with cholera infantum. The Slaubaugh brothers started yesterday with their engine. John Folk went with them to start the machine. Fred Gardner took the separator away, last Friday. John Folk says that the J. Miller & Co. thresh- ers jumped the fence and did some of his thresh- ing. Not so slow, Miller. Rev. John Gosho, Rev. Tzaer, one by the name of Stricher and a woman, from Canada, are here at present. Rev. Gosho preached a very good sermon, Sunday last, in the Elias Hershberger meeting-house. He also baptized some young folks. Tomorrow there will be council meeting at the said meeting- house. JANUS, Sept. 6th, 1892. St. Paul. Rain, welcome rain! Zach Faidley returned from a visit to his fath- er-in-law and reports having had a good time. Charley Wagner has patched his buggy harness and is now ready to trot his blooded horse. There are some sheep-killing dogs in this vi- cinity and we would advise all owners of such dogs to hire some good, law abiding citizen to kill them, or they may have to pay a bill for sheep not received. The squirrels are “ripe,” and by the way the guns crack, many of them are losing their lives. Boys, be careful and shoot nothing but squirrels, as pheasants and turkeys are not “ripe” yet, and they cost more than they are worth, when “green.” Zach Faidley is the proud owner of the famous gray horse, once the property of Boaz Trent, and imported to this community by J, J. Statler. This is one of the finest horses in St. Paul, C. W.'s excepted. J. J. Folk, passed through town, Tuesday, with a drove of fine sheep. Jerry knows where to find good sheep. Statler Bros. have their sawmill running and are turning ont some fine lu ber. Chauncey Engle and J ake Maust are at the carpenter trade. They are a credit to the com- munity. They dig coal, blacksmith and work at almost every other trade you can mention, even down to horse-trading. No flies on Chauncey and Jake. DAR Boon. Sept. 6th, 1892, we Southampton. Quite a rain today. . We need not send for the rain-makers. Rev. W. C. Garland will occupy the pulpit at the Kennell’s Mill Union church, on the 8d Sunday in September. John Troutman, of Pocahontas, wears a 12x14 smile, because it is a bran new boy. 8et’em up, John. The Southampton school board met on the 27th inst. and employed teachers for three schools, as follows: Kennell’s Mill, Miss Clara Fechtic, of Wellersburg; Korns, Miss Lula Fechtic, of the same place: Spruce Bank. Miss Annie Miller, of Bedford county. | Mrs. Daniel Boyer. who died near Comp’s church, was born in 1806. She was ane of the oldest and most respected women of this section. Her companion the choice of her youth, preceded her 27 vears ago, since which time her home was with her sons and daughters, on her own farm, near the above named place. She was a church member for scores of years. Her house was ever a home for Christian people. She was the mother of seven children, five of whom survive. Hers was an active life, but her labors are over and she rests. We would not call her back to suffer again. The friends need not mourn as those who have no hope, for she has gone to rest. Peace to her ashes and rest to her soul. After the funeral services were conducted by Rev.. B. Knepper, of Wellersburg, in Comp’s church, a large concourse of relatives and friends followed her remains to their last resting place. Sept. 6th, 1892. . PrimA DONNA. An Original Prize Contest.
