Last Sunday, we are told, Mr. Rea
Flesher and Miss Clara Beal were uni-
ted in marriage. The groom is a son of
Mr. O. Flesher, of Coal Run, and the
bride is a daughter of Mr. Charles 8S.
Beal, of this borough. THE STAR ex-
tends its congratulations and best
wishes.
Aside from being a very genial hotel
clerk, Mr. [ra Hay has lately develop-
ed into a veritable musical prodigy.
He is an expert pianist and plays to
perfection all the latest and most up-
to-date music, such as “Marching
Through Georgia,” “Yankee Doodle”
and many other selections.
Mr. Charles S. Beal, of this borough,
was united in marriage to a Miss
Smith, of Glencoe, on Dec. 18th, we are
informed. We don’t know why Charles
dido’t call around to give us an ac-
count of the wedding and set’em up
to the editor and staff, but all the same
we wish the couple much prosperity
and happiness all through life.
One day last week while several men
were engaged at erecting a steel tip-
ple at one of the Merchants’ Coal
Company’s “mines, the structure col-
lapsed and the men were badly injur
ed. A doctor was promptly summoned
and the injured men are said to be re-
covering nicely. They are strangers
here, we are informed, and we have
not learned their names.
The Easton Democrat tells of a letter
to Santa Claus that betokens a degree
of prudence uncommon in young
America. A five-year-old of that town
wrote the Christmas saint as f8llows:
“Dear Santy—Pleez fech me an ingen
and sum cars and a picter book and
sum candy and a pony and sum other
animiles, P. S.—If the pony is a mule
pleez tie his behind leggs.”
S. L. Livengood went to Meyersdale,
Sunday morning where he filled an en-
gagement, as violinist, in a picked or-
chestra that was hired to furnish music
for the Christmas service held by the
Catholic congregation of that town.
Sam speaks very highly of the excel-
lent treatment accorded him by the
said congregation, and he says Rev.
Father Dwire knows exactly how to
entertain guests. He also says the
service was something exceedingly
grand.
An exchange pertinently remarks
“boys with hats on the back of
their heads, long hair hanging down
over their foreheads, cigarettes, ob-
scene or profane words constantly in
their mouths, and ever loafing on the
streets are cheaper stuff than old worn-
out shoes: nobody wants them at any
price. Men will not employ them and
girls will not marry them. They are
not worth their keeping to anyone and
they will never be able to keep them-
selves.”
Died. at Mrs. M. E. Dunham’s Somer-
set, Pa., on ‘Dec. 23d, 1898, Catharine
Franks. Deceased was born in Bed-
ford county, Sept. 11, 1817, and was
therefore in her 82nd year when’ she
died. Mrs. Franks was a highly es-
teemed lady and was a lifelong mem-
ber of the M. E. church. The remains
were taken to Bedford county for bur-
ial, last Sunday, accompanied by her
daughter, Mrs. M. E. Dunham, of Som-
erset, and her grandson, Mr, E. A. Dun-
ham, of Johnstown.
On Monday Harvey Hay arranged
for the Salisbury band to furnish music
for the people of Somerset, by tele-
phone. Now if our band boys could
play like our friend Prof. Samuel H.
Smith, of Meyersdale, the telephone
would not have been needed to convey
the sweet melody to Somerset. Prof.
Sam: Smith once fifed for his famous
Salisbury drum corps, in Salisbury, and
his file was heard plainly at -Peters-
burg. At any rate that’s what Prof.
Smith often told us,and he ought to
know.
There was a grand turkey hunt, last
Saturday, in David Keim’s woods. Mr.

hard time of it while in “Uncle Sam’s”
army, and there is no doubt of his hav-
ing suffered more than any other sol-
dier in Co. I, of the Fifth Regt. On
August 17th, while in camp at. Chicka-
mauga, he was sent to the hospital,
whe re he suffered with fever. He was
| dangerously ill, and taking a relapse
when he last expected it, he hovered
between life and death for many weeks.
When he recovered sufficiently to be
removed, he was transferred to Fort
Thomas, Ky. This was on Nav. 14th,
and when he left his bed he weighed
but 65 pounds. He remained at Fort
Thomas until last week, when he was
mustered out and sent home. When
he arrived here he was clad in a very
fine uniform and army overcoat. and
now weighs 160 pounds, looks well and
feels well. It is needless to say that
he is receiving a royal welcome from
all his friends, and it goes without say-
ing that everybody around here is glad
to see soldier Tom again among us,
hale and hearty.

A Cure for Diphtheria.
The following remedy for diphtheria
is considered to be the best know: At
the first sign of diphtheria in the
throat of a child, make the room close.
Then take a tin cup and pour into it a
quantity of tar and turpentine, equal
parts. Then hold the cup over a fire
so as to fill the room with fumes. The
little patient on inhaling the fumes
will cough up and spit out all the mem-
braneous matter, and the diphtheria
will pass off. This cure should be in
all houses where there are children,
says an exchange.

Constipation prevents the body from rid-

Demand for Timber Lands.
Oakland Journal.
The demand for our timber is grad-
ually on the increase, and before long
all the valuable bodies in our county
will have passed into the hands of the
manufacturer. During the past few
weeks a party of Pennsylvania capital-
ists have been negotiating with G. 8.
Hamill, trustee for the purchase of a
large body of land lying on the west
side of Meadow mountain, near the
town of Bittinger. This tract contains
about 5000 acres and is said to be one
of the finest pieces of timber land in-
our county, and contains all kind of
hardwood timber.
When this deal is definitley closed,
the purchasers will at once construct a
narrow-gauge railroad to Swanton, on
the B. & 0.,12 miles east of Oakland,
and from this point all their shipments
will be made. This should prove a
boom for our neighboring village and
bring business to that town for many
years to come,
It is also stated that these parties
are negotiating for other parcels of
timber lands on the proposed route of
their railway.

Confession, they say, is good for the

nothing is too mean and degrading for

I did not have an idea that any of good
old Somerset county’s Republican pa-
pers would turn down good men of
their party and “shoot off ” about them
like one of our paper’s did in last
week’s issue. about our Representative-
elect, Gen. Koontz.

ARMY REMINISCENCES.
Incidents Pertaining to Company I,
Fifth Regt. Pa. Volunteers.
BY CORPORAT IRVIN J. ENGLE.
Epiror Star: —I wish to write a brief
accour.it of Company I’s travels in the
South.
We were mustered into.the service
of the United States on Friday, July
8th, 1898, and on the 9th we proceded
on our southward journey, leaving
Somerset on the 3:52 p. m. train.
After arriving at Rockwood we were
transferred to the main line of the B.
& O., and after a short stop we started
enroute for Pittsburg, where we arrived
some time that evening. Here we par-
took of our army rations, in regular
camp style, for the first time. All was
joy and merriment among the boys, as
we sat cross-legged in the Union depot,
and soon we again took our positions in
the cars for further transportation.
After backing out of Pittsburg sev-
eral miles, we took the
railroad, which crosses the Ohio river
at Wheeling, W. Va. This part of the
trip being made after night, few par-
ticulars were taken by anyone. One
instance I remember where an engine
was derailed, which barred our prog-
ress for some time. This time was
spent by most of the boys in sleep, but
a few of us were desirous of making
use of all of the time by getting infor-
mation from a few straggling natives
who lined up along the railroad to in-
quire about our destination.
Each of us having a seat, we made
the best use of them passible. One
would lie with his body on his seat and
his feet on his comrade’s seat, thus af-
fording each other a pillow. .
Early dawn found us skimming over
the plains of Ohio, and at Columbus we
again partook of our rations.
From Columbus, Ohio, we took a
southwesterly direction for Cincinnati,
and after stopping there for a short pe-
riod, we crossed the Ohio river into the
Blue Grass state, the surface of which
resembles that of Ohio somewhat.
were in Somerset, Ky. Ilere we re-
ceived cheers from hundreds of men,
women and children. Among them
was a small group of girls who admin-
istered their services to us, which were
of a religious character. After singing
a few .songs of farewell, we resumed |
our journey through the sunny South.
At every stopping place crowds of col-
“Whar you all goin’ at!”
you all come from!” This very
amusing to us, and when we told them
was
of our intentions, they would stand and |
stare at us, and some could be heard to
exclaim: “Fo’ de Lawd’s sake!”

On our way as we passed slowly along
we could see the ‘old Allegheny moun-

of Tennesse Georgia and North Caro-
lina. In one of the recesses of this
‘range I noticed a statue of General
| Jackson, the famous Confederate fight-
i er who terrified the North by his dar-
ing feats.
Soon we arrived at Lytle, Ga., where
| we disembarked to make the balance
| of our journey on foot. All was hustle
and business at this place, as it was the
i general supply depot for the great
army which was encamped nearby.
After marching some four or five miles
we renched the place where we were to
encamp for a limited time. It was the
least desirable place to live I have ever
come across, on a broken piece of land,
where no vegetation existed, except a
few growths of pitch pine and white
oak. But we contentedly pitched our
tents.
The climate was warm, the atmos-
phere damp and unhealthy, sluggish
streams of water rippled on their way
to the Tennessee river, deaths were oc-
curring at the rate of eighteen per day,
and many other unpleasant circum-
stances, which we did not meet at
home, confronted us. But such was
our fortune at our own will, and with
such we were contented.
