Public Sale of Town Lots.
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.

A Cure For Paralysis.
Frank Cornelius, of Purcell, Ind. 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.”

For many years Mr. B. F. Thompson,
of Des Moines, Iowa, was severely af-
flicted with chronic diarrhea. 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.”

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 :

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

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,

CORRESPONDENCE.
Rockwood.
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

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.

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.

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.
