From Petersburg Wilhelmi rode on to Uniontown to take charge of a job at the plumbing trade. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A.

Mr. Skyles, of Berlin, was the guest of Rev. D. H. Leader during the first of the week. Rev. Skyles was in attendance at a meeting of the Minis- terial Association, which met at the home of Rev. E. S. Hassler, at Keim, on Monday last. Messrs. Geo. and Lester Boucher came home from Friendsville, last week. Geo. came for the express pur- pose of helping to bury the Scull ring. Lester isn’t old enough to vote yet, but he has been helping to jubilate, just the same, and when he is old enough 1 will be another intelligent young an’s vote registered against the ring. Squire David Fuller, of West Salis- bury, informs us that the fine large cherry trees in front of Tue Star office were planted when Martin VanBuren ran for President, back in the ’30’s. Mr. Fuller says he brought the trees here himself, from the old Jonathan | Miller farm. Mr. Fuller is well versed | in the early history of Salisbury and! can talk entertainingly on that topic. | U. 8S. Kendall, Mayor of Fairmont, ! W. Va, brother of J. IE. Kendall of this | place, is candidate for State Senate in | his district. Mayor Kendall is a self- | made young man of much energy and capacity, and if the Fairmont district must have a Republican Senator, we feel safe in saying that it cannot be more ably and faithfully represented than it will be by Senator Kendall.— Connellsville Courier. Tne Star thanks its numerous Elk Lick friends for their congratulations on the result of the election. A num- ber of them left several yards of crape at our otlice and requested that it be sent to Lou Smith to drape his office with. We ask to be excused from this, as Lou’s oflice looks gloomy enough as it is. What Lou needs now is several bottles of Peruna to Bracejup hisdroop- ing spirits. “The abhorent and forbidden forces,” says the Scull paper. It evidently means the people who were forbidden to hold a primary, last year, and who were thus deprived of their rights. Now these same people, who snowed the Scull ring under, last Saturday, are “abhorrent” to the ring. No doubt of Timmie,” no doubt of it; but the Ah must and will have their rights. | It is a free country, you know. The Herald says Jeremiah Maurer was cruelly slaughtered by the Wana- maker faction. So? Well, who slaugh- tered EK. D. Miller? «If ever a man was cruelly slaughtered in the house of his friends, that man was KE. D. Miller, of Rockwood. Miller was tooclean a man to run on the Scull ticket, and as the ring knew it couldn’t elect sanner and Miller both, it sacrificed the best man to elect the worst; but happily, Sanner, too, was defeated. “wr Tne Star has been receiving many complimentary letters from all over the county, congratulating it on the vigorous and manly fight it made against the Scull ring all through the campaign. Many subscriptions have been coming in and many more will follow. If you are in sympathy with the batile that Tie Star is waging for clean Republicanism, send in your sub- seription. You will always find Tne Star in the front ranks, fighting for the people’s best interests.

Died, Friday, May 27th, Chas. Gibson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert. Gibson, of West Salisbury. Deceased was in his 16th year and he died very suddenly. He went to the mines in the morning, and after working a while he complain- ed of feeling unwell and went home. Death ended his suffering in about a half hour after he reached his home. Just what ailed the lad we have not learned, and it is a matter of conjec- ture at any rate. Funeral took place at the M. E. church, Sunday afternoon. The bereaved family have the sym- pathy of the community. “Oh, yes! There is “Uncle Adam,” he of the purple nose, which blossoms as the rose, as everybody knows, fought hard for the Scull ring, but all to no purpose. He dispensed the wet goods in the Harriet Weaver stable, not forgetting to wet his own whistle, of | course. But it was another case of the fall of Adam, and Eve wasn’t to blame, either.

Doc.—*‘Dubbie, I don’t care who in the h—I1 you vote for, but here, take a good drink of whisky while I explain the ticket the way I understand it.” Here “Dubbie” takes the big bottle and proceeds to get on the outside of a large quantity of its contents. “Pinkwhiskers” proceeds to explain, and “Dubbie” tilts the bottle every time it gets a little long between drinks. The flow of oratory from the south part of the doctor’s face, and the great arguments produced by this well-known | sage from Gravel Hill, cause great drops of sweat to ooze from the top of “Dubbie’s” bald head. He is almost overcome, and surely it can’t be the whiskey that is almost driving him to the hay-mow to conceal his emotions. “Pinkwhiskers” sees the good effect of hisoratory and reasoning and follows | up the advantage with more eloquence. side of some more of it. “Pinkwhiskers” has his eloquence and proceeds to clinch his arguments with profanity. “Dubbie” has now the contents of the bottle the final act.
