STYLE IN READING.
Style mreans several things and they all
apply to reading.
Style means fashion: there are fashions
in reading. Style means manners; there
are manners in reading. Good manners
and bad manners in print may, be as im-
pudent as anywhere. Intelligent people
prefer reading that approaches them like
a gentleman—sensible, earnest, and to the
point. A bargain is a magnet; uncover
it and needles will head your way. We
offer that bargain when we say to our
patrons, Send us $3.90 and it will pay for
a year's subscription to both this paper
and the Cosmopolitan Magazine. The
offer is a genuine bargain, and those of
our friends who are not now taking a
first-class Magazine into their homes
shonld see to it that they do not miss this
opportunity.
. ALL THE YEAR ROUND.
The greatest success hitherto attained
in the Magazine field must be accorded to
the Cosmopolitan, jumping as it has from
16,000 copies in 1889 to an edition of
150.000 copies for January, 1893. That
there is cause for this success goes with-
out saying. No other publication, of
any description, before the public makes
the effort to give its readers the best of
everything, and succeeds in doing it as
does this monthly. Its illustrations lead
the world; its literary merit is certainly
of the highest order that money can buy
or brains produce. Each month, from
year’s end to year's end, can be found in
side its covers something to instruct and
please every member of the household.
In fact a year's careful reading of the
Cosmepoiitan means a progressive step
in the education of any man or woman in
the land.
’ WE OFFER YOU
the monthly visits of this popular maga-
zine for a year, if taken in connection
with a year’s subscription to THE STAR,
for only $3.90. This we are able to do
through a special contract made in behalf
of our readers with the Magazine pub-
lishers. The price of the Cosmopolitan
alone is $3.00, at which price it is the
cheapest of monthlies, giving as it does
1586 pages of reading matter, with over
1200 illustrations for a singie year’s sub-
scription. Send your order to us.

for the very reason4tat within the last
month seven parlor suites of cushioned
furniture have been purchased by families
living here.
The total amount of sugar weighed in
Garrett county thus far is 149,659 pounds.
Will Stanton, living one and one-half
miles south of town, has produced the
largest crop. His net weight of sugar is
8.546 pounds. We would like to see any
one beat those figures.
Mauthias Bowser, onr congenial mer-
chant, has gone to Pittsburg to buy some
furniture for his own use. Wonder who
the lucky gir! will be.
Miss Fannie B. Getty has gone to Cum-
berland to spend a few weeks.
Last Sunday Joe Shaw left for Balti-
more to attend the graduation of his
brother, W. Potter Shaw, whose invita-

All the farmers in this vicinity have
joined hands against trespassers.and have
published a notice to that effect in Tur

posted up on their lands, and now hunt-

James L. Custer and I. A. Peck are
making preparations to build a black-
smith shop. Peckis putting up the build
ing and Custer is supplying the shop with
tools. He purchased a groundhog skin
from Jerry Shoemaker and has gathered
up an old piece of stove pipe and poplar
board that was found lying along the
road, to make the bellows. He says one
groundhog skin is not enough to tinish
the job. It will take at least one-half of
another one. Jim is a genius and will
no doubt make a success of his undertak-

cramp colic or fits of indigestion, which

required, and it has invariably given him
prompt relief. 25 and 50 cent bottles for

April 18th, 1893. Prima DoNNA.
For a number of years I have been
subject to violent attacks of intflamma-
tory rheumatism, which generally lasted
abont two months. On the first of this
month I was attacked in the knee and
suffered severely for two days, when I
procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm and it relieved me almost instantly.
I therefore most cheerfully recommend
it to those who are similarly afflicted, ev-
erywhere.—R. D. WHITLEY, Martindale,
N. C., Feb., 1888. Mr. Whitley is a very
prominent man in this place and his dis-
ease was very widely known, as he suf-
fered such severe pain. W. M. Housron

Rockwood.
Our town was tendered a musical treat
by the Salisbury Cornet Band and Music-
al Specialty Company, last Friday eve-
ning, in Rockwood Hall. They were un-
der the direction of Prof, Irven Beals, of
Salisbury, Pa., who displayed rare ability
as a band master, cornet, guitar and vo-
cal soloist, The bovs all seemed in the
hest of spirits and proved themselves ful-
ly equal to the occasion and worthy of
the efficiency ascribed to them on the bills
that announced their coming. Upon ar-
riving on the evening train they repaired
to the Haines house, where it is needless
to say they were hospitably received,
and after a hearty supper rendered some
of the most pleasing and professional
mugic ever heard in Rockwood. Music
hath charms, and when it is produced by
jolly, good-looking musicians, it makes
it all the more charming, A fair patron-
age resulted. The leading feature of the
musical part of the program was a selec
tion entitled ‘“‘A Fox chase,” which is of
most difficult rendition; but the boys per-
formed their parts nobly, This piece, no
doubt, is the finest played in the county,
The play entitled ‘‘Keely Cure.” came
next in order of importance, and the dif-
ferent characters were well represented.
Prof. Irven Beals and 8. I. Livengood
figured verv prominently in the plav,
The entertainment was given in behalf
of the Rockwood cornet band, and we
know not how to express onr gratitnde:
but suffice it to sav all were henefited:
besides, our hand was profited financial
ly. Much more might be meritorious
added. and in conclusion I desire to thank
the Salishury cornet band for their fra
ternal regard in our behalf, and extend a
hearty welcome for another visit in the
near future, OCCASIONAL,
April 20th, 1893.
Speech Restored.
For five years I suffered with pain and
discharge of the throat, hacking cough,
frontal headache, weak eyes, &c.. at
times; could not talk above a whisper;
lost weight continually, and not able to
work. I was treated by the best physi-
cians in the county, but received no re-
lief. After giving up all hopes I was rec-
ommended to use a bottle of Mayers’
Magnetic Catarrh Cure. After using it
for four weeks my speech returned. All
symptoms of Catarrh have disappeared
and ‘I feel like a different person.”
