It may be, Mr. Farmer, that you will need some new
Harvesting Machinery, this year. Tt may be that you
want the very best Mower or Reaper on the market. It
may be that you don’t know where you can make the bezt
{ purchase in that line.
Look Around And See!
If you will look to your own best interests, you will in-
vest in the Light Running, Correctly Built and Perfectly
‘Working Osborne Machinery. There is nome better. I
think there is none quite as good. I would like to sell to
you, feeling sure that if you buy from me you will think
as I do.
Give me a call when you are ready for that new Mower
or Reaper that you are thinking of buying. Tt will be to
your advantage to see me before buying.

A present duty: Subseribe for THE
Ir is reported through the Fayette
county papers that the delegates from
that county, who touk part in the Re-
publican conference at Pittsburg, last
week, to fix a method for the nomina-
tion of candidates for Congress in the
new Twenty-third district, are dissatis-
fied with the adoption of the resolution
giving each of the three counties in the
district representation in the district
conference by three conferees. This
means, of course, that the Fayette dele-
gates want only such representation as
will give Fayette the power to nominate,
all Republican candidates for Con-
gress. "If our new political relatives in
Fayette have been indulging in any
such pipe dream they ought to abate
the indulgence promptly. Since the
“Frosty Bons of Tunder” will be re-
lied upon to furnish the Republican
majorities for the district, they will
demand their rights to furnish at least
an occasional candidate.—Somerset
Standard.
Our dear old friend (?) Lou A. Smith
announces in his last week’s Commer-
cial that he is going to be on his good
behavior during the present political
campaign. He promises to do no mud-
throwing, but will he keep his promise?
In other words, can a hog forsake its
filthy wallowings? Time will tell. In
the same issue he makes such promises
he publishes a whole column of hog-
wash calculated for no other purpose
than to bring about a campaign of per-
sonalities, the very thing he pretends
to seek relief from. The A in old “Lu-
cifer’s” name stands for Ananias, and it
is just as impossible for Lou Smith to
go through a political campaign with-
out opening his mud and filth batteries
as it is for any other hog to be decent
and cleanly. Imagine the anguish of a
sow deprived of her wallow; think of
the misery of a cat in hades without
claws; think of the agony of a starving
buzzard that hasn’t had a mess of car-
rion for a week; think of the terrible
condition of a fish out of water; then,
after thinking of all these things, you
may be able to form some idea of the
misery Lou Smith will be in if he at-
tempts to pass through a political cam-
paign without indulging in his custom-
ary mud-throwing and dirty personali-
ties. He will be at his old pranks, as
usual, for it is not natural for an old
dog to acquire any more sense than he
had during his prime or to learn new
tricks in his old days. But all his rant-
ing and raving will harm no one but
himself, A man who has made a hog
of himself as many years as Lou Smith
has done, is not very apt to become de-
cent in his dotage. But who cares
what he does? He that is filthy, let
him be filthy still, sayeth the Scrip-
tures.
On this We Agree With Our Adver-
sary.
General Koontz won the admiration
of his political foes by his consistent
course at Harrisburg, his courage and
the manliness, honesty and purity of
purpose he ever displayed. No bribe
giver dared approach him and no taint
of corruption smudged his garments.—
Meyersdale Commercial.
Bravo, bravo, old man! It does us
much good to, agree with you on the
above. Ior once you have made a
statement that came straight from the
heart. For once you have uttered a
truth as firm as the everlasting hills.
For once you have been honest enough
to utter what you really think. But
you are so weak, so vacillating, so
wishy-washy, and so utterly, deplora-
bly, pitifully, outrageously, lamentably
and irredeemably politically depraved
that you may go back on your own
truthful statement before next week.
At any rate you were singing quite a
different tune when General Koontz
was a candidate for office the last time.
Because he was an honest, upright and
fearless man, a man who would not
sacrifice his honest convictions for po-
litical gain, you even bolted your own
party ticket to vote against him and
advised others to do the same, and all
because you sold your political birth-
right for a promised mess of political
pottage. You even went so far as to
admonish young men not to follow in
the footsteps of General Koontz. You
advised them to sacrifice their man-
hood and their honest convictions for
political gain. Now, after seeing that
General Koontz is admired by all hon-
est men, in spite of all you could do
against him to accomplish his down-
fall, you give vent to your inward feel-
ings and speak truthfully of the man,
Well, truth is mighty and must pre-
vail, and it is better late than never,
It is also a truth that a deg will gener-
ally return to his vomit and hie it up.

Salisbury High School Commence-
ment and Alumni Banquet.
Last Friday evening a large audience
assembled in Hay’s opera house to wit-
ness the rendition of the program pre-
pared by the graduating class of 1902,
of the Salisbury High School. Those
who graduated this year are Mary
Gaunt, Carmen Ringler, Marion Rees,
Elizabeth Engle, Harriet Hay, Annie
Radcliffe, Charlotte Boyer and Ellet S.
Baumgardner, and we take pleasure in
saying that all members of the class
performed their respective parts very
well.
The exercises opened with the “Amer-
ican Vietory March,” by a swell little
orchestra composed of the following
named persons and instrumentation:
8. L. Livengood, violin; Justice Hart-
line, cornet; Chas. H. Lantz, flute:
Alfred Ringler, trombone; Otto Petry,
piano. With the exception of Mr.
Lantz, the popular and efficient mu-
sician and piano tuner, of Cumberland,
Md., who is always ready to help our
people out in any way he can be of
service to them, the orchestra was all
made up of home talent. The excel-
lent music was a very greatly enjoyed
part of the program and reflected great
credit on the musicians.
After a fervent prayer by Elder W.
A. Gaunt, his daughter, Mary, deliver-
ed the salutatory of the class. Her
subject was “Vive la Republique,” and
Miss Gaunt showed great ability and
gracefulness in her rendition of the
same. The salutatory, we are inform-
ed, was Miss Gaunt’s own composition
throughout, and if our information is
correct, the young lady has originality
enough ‘in her make-up, and of the
proper kind, to become a woman of
rare literary ability. Her production
was extraordinarily meritorious.
“Education—Its Object,” was the
subject of a splendid oration delivered
by Miss Carmen Ringler. The subject
was well handled and reflected great
credit upon the young lady.
Next was a musical selection by the
orchestra, after which Miss Marion
Rees delivered a fine oration entitled
“Blocks of Stone.”
This was followed by a splendid essay
entitled “Life—What We Make 1t,” by
Miss Elizabeth Engle, which was fol-
lowed by another excellent selection
by the orchestra.
Mies Harriet Hay then delivered a
fine oration, entitled, America’s Trait-
or” The)young lady ripped old Bene.
dict Arnold up one side and down the
other in such an earnest and eloquent
way that it would have been little
wonder if the arch traitor would have
rolled over in his grave and startled
the world with his groans.
The class prophecy was rendered by
Miss Charlotte Boyer. It was made up
of a large number of humorous and
appropriate remarks and happy hits.
It is earnestly hoped that Miss Boyer’s
dream concerning tke fine new school
house she mentioned will be speedily
realized. If it isn’t, some people in
this town will have a whole lot to an-
swer for when called before the Great
Judge of the world. We ought to have
a new school house this very summer,
and to longer defer the matter is a
very grave crime against the rising
generation. Messrs. Directors, the
friends of education expect much of
you and should not be dispppointed.
Will you act?
After another fine selection by the
orchestra, Miss Annie Radcliffe deliv-
ered a very able oration on “Our Na-
tion’s Need of Education.” Her dis-
course was well composed, well render-
ed and mach praised by the audience.
The valedictory was delivered by
Ellet S. Baumgardner. It was highly
creditable and contained much to pon-
der over with profit.
After another selection by the or-
chestra, Prof. F. B. Shaffer presented
the diplomas to the graduates, with
very approprite and impressive re-
marks, and the truth and wisdom of
his words should not soon be forgotten
by those who were so ably taught un-
der his tutorship.
The class ode was a beautiful song in
which all the graduates joined, Miss
Della Brown presiding at the piano.
After this a benediction was pronounc-
tion, after which the audience was dis-

THE ALUMNI BAXQUET,
After the commencement exercises,
the Third Annual Banquet of the Salis-
bury Public School Alumni was held
at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. S. M.
Baumgardner. The menu consisted of
orange chips, turkey, cranberries, sand-
wiches, olives, cellery, salted nuts,
green peas, salad, wafers, ice cream,
chocolate sauce, cake and coffee. The
following program was rendered at
the banquet:
“The Value of Education”—Mrs. H.
C. Shaw, Class of 1890.
“The Old and the New”—George C.
Hay, Class of 1893.
“The Class”’—Ira A. Milliron, Class of
1895.
“The Obligation of a Graduate to the
Community”—Edith C. Livengood,Class
of 1896.
“The Ladies of the Alumni”’—Ernest
Livengood, Class of 1898.
“The Gentlemen of the Alumni’—
Della Brown, Class of 1800.
“Origin and Work of Alumni Associa-
tions”—Sara Smith, Class of 1901.
“The Class of 1902”—Prof. F. B. Shaf-
fer.
Almyra Lichliter acted as toastmis-
tress, and the banquet wag a very
pleasant affair.
Traveling is Dangerous.
Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place in the y
by delicate attachments. This is the
reason that travelers, trainmen, street
car men, teamsters and all who drive
very much suffer from kidney disease
in some form. Foley’s Kidney Cure
strengthens the kidneys and cures all
forms of kidney and bladder disease.
Geo. H. Hausan, locomotive engineer,
Lima, O., writes, “Constant vibration of
the engine caused me a great deal of
trouble with my kidneys, and I got no
relief until I used Foley's idney
Cure.” Sold by E. H. Miller.
New Coal and Coke Company.
The charter of the Pennsylvania,
Maryland & West Virginia Coal & Coke
Company, of Johnstown, with a nomi-
nal capital of $1,000 has been granted
by the State Department at Harris-
burg. It arrived yesterday through
Keim & Weimer, attorneys, and was
delivered to the local stockholders.
The incorporators are D. B. Zimmer-
man and George H. Love, of Somerset,
‘and J. K. Love and W, H, Sunshine, of
Johnstown,
The Coinpay has options on large
tracts of coal land in the three states
covered by the charter, although it is
not expected that the lands in West
Virginia and Maryland will be operated
at present. The Pennsylvania territory
consists of over five thousand acres of
fine coal in Allegheny county, lying
between the Pittsburg & Western and
the West Penn railroads, although it is
the present intention to oper:‘eit from
the former road, and after delivering
the ore to the furnaces, cars have to re-
turn empty, unless they can haul coal
or the like for lake trade, and low rates
are given to induce such back-haul.

but a station, tipple and sidings will
be built there and mines opened as
soon as things get in proper shape to

vein and is eight to twelve feet thick.
The corporation is not yet organized,
but the prime movers and biggest
stockholders are Messrs. Zimmerman

Will Cure Consumption.
A. A. Herren, Sinch, Ark., writes,
“Foley’s Honey and Tar is the best pre-
paration for coughs, colds and lung
trouble. I know that it has cured
consumption in the first stages.” Sold

A New Kind of Endless Chain.
Monday morning. There were fifteen
men to adopt the plan. Each man
agreed to write four letters to four
friends, with the request that each of
these write four more letters with the
same request, and so on.
Each person receiving these letters
will be asked to refrain from eating
meat for the period of one week, be-
ginning May 15.
Wants Others to Know.
“I have used DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers for constipation and torpid liver,
and they are all right. I am glad to
indorse them, for I think when we find
a good thing we ought to let others
know it,” writes Alfred Heinze, Quincy.
