Whose turn will come next we do not know. It may be the old person bent with age, the babe on its mother’s breast, or the youth in the prime and vigor of life. “Prepare to meet thy God” is an admonition too little heed by all. The following named persons from this locality went to Atlantic City, last week: E.J. Egan, Norman Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Urias Yoder, Miss Brenne- man, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Maust and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Miller, E. E. Haselbarth Albert Reitz and Ed- ward Reitz. Most of the party have returned home, and they all report a good time. Besides having a good time at Atlantic City, most of them also took in some of the principal points of interest in Philadelphia and Wash- ington. Mr. Dillon P. Flickinger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel 8. Flickinger, of Carle- ton, Neb., who emigrated to that state from Elk Lick township about the year 1885, is dead. The young man visited friends here last winter, and he will be remembered by many of our people, for Dillon was a very genial, whole-souled young man who made friends wherever he went. On Aug. 18th the deceased had the misfortune to break a leg, from the effects of which he died on Aug. 23. He was aged about 22 years, and he was an intelligent, robust young man of many good qualities. We regret ex- ceedingly to learn of his death, and to the bereaved family, who are among the best people we ever knew, we ex- tend our heartfelt sympathy. This week Tue Star is once more is- sued under great difficulties, as our printer, Mr. T. R. Sufall, is quite ill. being confined to his bed since Wed- nesday morning. However, through the kindness of Printer John Johnston, and his employer, Merchant J. T. Jef- fery, we are enabled to get out our edition, but under the circumstances there is much news that we are unable to set the type for. We do not know how we will fare next week, for it may be that the editor will be the only man on duty, and as editing the paper and taking care of the job trade of the of- fice is about all one man can do, the paper may be wofully deficient in news. Friends and patrons, we are greatly handicapped by a shortage of help, but we trust you will kindly bear with us until we can secure sufficient help to do justice to the paper, which we hope will be at an early date. Some of our young men attended the Pocahontas picnic, last Saturday, and they report a good time. The only thing to mar the pleasure of the occa- sion was a fight between two of the young men from this town. One of the combatants was badly jolted with steel knuckles, we are informed. Boys, that doesn’t speak well for Salisbury. There should be at least some honor even among scrappers and pug-uglies. No brave man ever carried steel knuckles for fighting purposes. The world has little use at best for pugilists or would- be pugilists, but if a man wants to pose as a fighter he should be brave and manly enough to fight only with the means of defense with which nature endowed him. Whenever a fellow who wants to pose as a good slugger resorts to steel knuckles or other artificial means of defense, he, by so doing, pro- claims himself a coward at heart and shows that he does not have enough confidence in his natural ability and physical powers to trust to the same to win for him the victory. We are sorry to say that a great many of the young men of this vicinity are accused of con- stantly carrying steel knuckles and other concealed weapons, and in so do- ing they are committing a penitentiary offense. Our officers should be on the alert, and all found guilty of this cow- ardly habit should be punished as they deserve. Death of Cathryne c. “Smith. The whole community was saddened last Thursday, August 23d, when the death of Kathryne C.Smith, the young- est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Smith was announced. The deceased was taken ill on the 5th of last December, when she was taken down with typhoid fever. She had a long, hard seige of it, but finally recov- ered from the disease. IHowever,she never regained her former good health, and it soon became manifest that the fever left her with weak lungs, which developed into catarrhal bronchitis, causing her death. The funeral service was held at the family residence, last Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. John H. i, of Meyersdale, assisted by Rev. i. Het- rick, the local minister of i a Evangelical church. Deceased was a member of the Brethren church, and we can truly say that she was an earn- est, fuithful member. Kathryne Smith was a dutiful child and a general favorite in the commun- ity. She was the possessor of many good qualities, being especially noted for her kind and sympathetic disposi- tion. She always had a kind word for everybody, and her friends were legion. She was also a very bright and intelli- gent young woman, and she was highly esteemed by all who knew her. She bore her affliction bravely, and when the time came for her to bid adieu to the loved ones of earth, she was prepared for that better world be- yond. By her death the community is saddened, but our loss is her gain. She is survived by her father, mother and two sisters, all of whom have the ten- der sympathies of their many friends. The funeral was largely attended, for nearly all who knew the deceased came to show the last sad respects to their departed friend. By her de has lost one more preciot ath earth s soul, bat the gained what a all is well, rd to bear. Bank Pays 3 per cent.
