choice fruit.
These lots are all situated in one of the
most desirable portions of the town and

This is an excellent opportunity to se-
cure one of the best lots in the best all-
round town in the county.” ‘There 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

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
sorenesstand 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 F. Beatty, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr.
Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his way up
80 as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty's Or-
gans and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he turns to an advertisement and comes out of it
brighter than ever. His 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 his 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, Towa, and is one of the best
known and most respected business men
in that city, says: “I can testify to the
good qualities of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. Having used itin my tamily
for the past eight years I can safely say
it has no equal for either colds or croup.”

Shipley.
For many years Mr. B. F. Thompson,
of Des Moities, lowa, 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 Diarrhea 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 SOLDIKRS.
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
National Encampment Grand Army of the Re-
publie at Washington, D. C., commencing Sep-
temper 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 so closely follows the nava' meet-
"ing, an opportunity will be afforded for all safl-
of each occasion. The scene of each gathering
will be fraught with a thousand memories of the
war—of deeds of valor and heroism, of victories
and of the loss of loved comrades.
The President, his cabinet and other distin-
; guished personages will review the Grand Army
The White Squadron by its presence in the
harbor of Baltimore will add an important feat-
_ ute to the naval veterans’ 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

CORRESPONDENCE,
Rockwood.
School opened on Monday with the following
teachers at the helm: W. H. Baker, Principal;
Ella Werner, Grammar room; Jessie Shaffer, In-
termediate; Ida Shaff, Primary. The grounds
about the school house have been cleared of
stones, stumps, ete., and rooms have been made
pleasant by repainting them throughout. Our
school board, composed of 3. A, Kendall, A. J.
Growall, W. H. Johnson, G. B. Masters and Solo-
mon Snyder, should be congratulated for so ju-
diciously discharging their whole duty in the
way of having the grounds and building put in a
presentable condition, also for employing a jani-
tor.
D. Scott, of Johnstown. Pa., was in town on
Saturday. Mr. Scott is a large contractor and
was here in the interest of a contemplated tak-
iug of a contract on the 8. & C. branch.
E. 8. Wolfersberger, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa., has
been in town for some time; he has entered the
employ of the B. &O. R. R. as a fireman and
has been taking initiatory steps on the S. &. C.
The Sullivan-Corbett fight had quite a sensa-
tional effect on those of our people who are pu-
gilisticaliy inclined. Much betting was indulged
in and great consternation was noticeable among
Sullivan backers when they learned that their
gladiator had lost his hard-earned laurels. From
a moral standpoint, nothing was gained or lost:
therefore, there is no occasion for rejoicing with
those who rejoice or weeping with those who
weep. We believe prize-fighting is detrimental
to all that denotes or promotes an enlightened
race of people. It is far from being a civilizer.
Louisiana seems to be the only resort for the re-
ception of this kind of sport and we hope the
day is not far distant when it will become so
much depreciated as to be entirely isolated be-
yond civilized borders.

on his way up town, on Saturday night, he fell
over a large stone on the corner of Main and
Market street. The stone was placed there to
protect the corner of the sidewalk.
Miss Belle Jones. of Pittsburg, is the guest of
W. H. H. Baker.
Deputy Sheriff Barron was in town on Wednes-
day last, in the discharge of an official duty.
Rev. Wilkinson preached his farewell sermon
last Sunday. The Rev. undoubtedly has diligent-
ly and unfelgnedly applied ‘the Sword of the
Spirit” to a good advantage and effect. He is
held in high esteem by all who learned to know
him. He will take a four-year course in college,
which will more completely fit him for the great
cause he has enlisted in. We tender him our
best wishes in behalf of his future happiness and
usefulness.
Our Burgess, John Stein, has received one of
Gov. Pattisons’ proclamations, requesting him
to investigate and remove everything detriment-
alto a pure sanitary condition. The Governor
is right and his request should be executed.

Hay, of Brothersvalley.
Quite a number of St. Paul folks at-
tended the funeral of Samuel Schrock,
on Sunday, and report a lage turnout.

and 13th verse. The deceased was aged
79 years and 4 months.
Boaz Trent has quit farming and has

H. F. Bnyder has secured the job of
