It may be, Mr. Farmer, that you will need some new

want the very best Mower or Reaper on the market. It
may be that you don’t know where you can make the best
purchase in that line.
ok Around And See!
If you will look to your own best interests, you will in-

think there is none quite as good. I would like to sell to

An After-Campaigp Lie Nailed.
Since last Saturday’s election, cer-
tain malicious persons who are sore
over their defeat, have been circulating
the report that the “Scullwart” ticket
would have gotten a bigger vote in
this borough if it hand’t been for Pete
Livengood going to the election house
and liquoring up the election board.
Well, that’s a good one; but it hap-
pens that one of the election board
tried to liquor up Pete. It happened
in this way: John
nie Wagner, two very good Republican
citizen’s, went to the polls to cast their
ballots.
(we believe by Dr. Whangdoodle De-
lozier and “Daddy” John Ringler), and
immediately there was music in the
air. The committeeman was willing to
issue ballots to both, but old “Daddy”
John just stood there and swore by the
great horn spoon and sundry and divers
other things that Morton and Wag-
ner had no right to vote and that the
committeceman, who was his son, did
not dare to let them vote. The chief
objection seemed to be the fact that
Morton and Wagner wanted to vote
the Republican ticket instead of the
bolters’ ticket. As the affair soon wax-
ed very hot, others soon took a hand in
the “cussing” match. Even Stewart
Simpkins and Pete Livengood, both of
whom were never known to swear, lost
their tempers and swore for the first
time in their lives. Stewart called
Pete a G. D. old leatherhead, and Pete
replied with something just as compli-
mentary, and Delozier lauged and
swore by turns. The people down in
West Salisbury heard it and thought a
terriftic eyclone was approaching. But
in the meantime “Daddy” Ringler went
after legal advice, and it wasn’t long
until he returned as meek as a lamb.
With a sweet smile playing all over
his face, he announced that he was
wrong and that Berkey Republicans
could vote at the Republican primary
as well as Ruppel Democrats. Then,
after quiet was restored, Inspector
Simpkins, like a true patriot should do
after he has to yield, took a bottle of
whisky from his coat pocket, and after
first taking a drink himself, handed
the bottle over to Pete ; not necessarily
to drink. bat to show his willingness to
effect a reconciliation. But Pete. fenr-
ing that the election board might get
drunk and cheat his old friend and
chum, “Congressman” Harvey M. Berk-
ley, out of some votes, took the bottle
and smashed it over the guard rail,
thus doing an act that ought to entitle
him to the next Prohibition nomina-
tion for Governor. And thus was the
election board saved from the corrupt-
ing influence of its own whisky, and
Pete, poor fellow, was cheated out of
his drink, for the breaking of the bottle
was purely accidental.
* Afflictions do not come singly, for lo!
when a man is deprived of a drink ten-
dered to him by election oflicer

The Indiana copperhead doubtless
knows by this time that he can’t run
the politics of Somerset county. Poor
thing!
Harvey M. Berkley couldn’t cheat us
out of a primary as he did in 1897. And
there’s no Barker’s Liniment” in sight,
either.
Poor Fred Rowe is under the snow,
and to Harrisburg he’s not going to go.
Not this year, Ifeddie; some other
year—perhaps.
Did anybody see Adam Fogle or Dr.
DelLozier since the primary? It’s some-
what strange that the doctor wasn’t
around to laugh this time.
To Harvey M, Berkley: You cannot
keep a good man down; ’tis truth be-
yond assail; ‘twas proven many years
ago by Jonah and the whale.
“The Berkey ticket is a dead one)’
said the Windber guttersnip before the
primary. Well, for a corpse it proved
to be an exceedingly lively one.
Little Jimmie Coveoyster should have
remained in his shell. The people
don’t want a clam or a coveoyster for
“Senatah.” Do you hear, Jimmie, dear?
Jolly Joe Ilorner sits in a corner,
winking his other eye. The returns
he does sum, and he’s landed the,
plum, and it’s “Hurrah for Poorbaugh |
and I.”
It may have given Chas. Weimer and |
Daniel E. Keller an enormous lift when
they subscribed for Mr. Akin’s Wind- |
ber guttersnipe, but the returns fail to
show it.
Angel Ilarvey M. Berkley had a nice
| pair of wings sprouted before the elec-
tion, but they have been properly clip-
ped. Angels of the “Timmie” Scull va-
riety never soar very high.
It’s a good thing that Charles Weim-
er can now go back to his shop and re- |
sume horse-shoeing. There a lot
of Scull jackasses that should go to

The Meyersdale Commercial last:

Isn’t it amusing to hear the Scull”

For every dollar of Republican money
that came into this borough, the Scull:
