Notwithstanding the numberless fads that divide the attention of the people, there are a few things concerning which all sane persons are in perfect accord and among them is the superiority of the High Speed Moulded Record re- cently put on the market by the Co- lumbia Phonograph Co. For smooth- ness, naturalness and volume, this new process record is miles ahead of any small record that has ever been heard before. The graphophone, which is the greatest home brightener the peo- ple have ever had, when equipped with the latest records made by the mould- ing method, is indeed an instrument that “entertains everybody every- where.” - The price of these records be- ing only 50 cents each, or $5 per dozen, they are within the reach of all. They are almost equal to the Grand Records which sell for one dollar each. Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago,one of the largest dealers in graphophones and records in the world, say: It is a pleasure to us to offer our unsolicited testimonial to the value and high quality of the New High Speed Mould- ed Records. Fidelity of tone and ac- curacy Lo the original composition, as well as distinctness, without harshness, place them in the forefront of talking machine records.” Shatters all Records. Twice in hospital, F. A. Gulledge, Verbena, Ala., paid a vast sum to doc- tors to cure a severe ease of piles, caus- ing 24 tumors. When all failed, Buck- len’s Arnica Salve soon cured him. Subdues Inflammation,conquers Aches, kills Pains. Best salve in the world. 25c. at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Barnum'’s Joke. P.T. Barnum, the showman, having told his Adirondack landlord with great solemnity that he hesitated to find fault with anything about the ho- tel when so much was agreeable, he was urged by the landlord by all means to be frank and do so. “Well” said Barnum, “I have discovered with re- gret that your pepper is half peas.” The landlord declared that it could not be, but on being assured that Barnum knew as much about pepper as ginger, he wrote a caustic letter to the grocer for sending him such stuff. They, know- ing, doubtless, what the real complaint was, replied that if he would spell “pepper” he would doubtless find half of it composed of “p’s” and that which they sold had only the amount of or- thography required. Look Pleasant, Please. Photographer, C. C. Harlan, of Eaton, 0., can do so now, though for years he couldn’t, because he suffered untold agony from the worst form of indiges- tion. All physicians and medicines fail- ed to help him till he tried Electric Bitters, which worked such wonders for him that he declares they are a god- send to sufferers from dyspepsia and stomach troubles. Unrivaled for dis- eases of the Stomach, Liver and Xid- neys, they build up and give new life to the whole system. Try them. Only 50c. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, the A Somerset County Veteran. Somerset county has but two surviv- ors of the Mexican War since the death, some months ago, of Charles Kimmel, of Somerset. One of these is Eli Shockey, who was born 77 years ago near his present home in Larimer town- ship. He enlisted at Cumberland, Md, May 18, 1846, and his regiment embark- ed for Mexico at once. A storm off the coast wrecked them and they were taken back to Fort Moultrie. Shockey was assigned to Battery M, First Uni- ted States Regular Artillery, under the gallant Southern officer, Gen. Twiggs, and served until the close of the war, participating in all the principal bat- tles. He was present at the fall of the City of Mexico. He was honorably discharged about the 1st of September, 1848, at Fort Hamilton. Mr. Shockey also served over three years in the Civil War in Company C, Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers. He has now remarkable health. He is a stalwart Republican. ; Three sons and one daughter are liv- ing, one son, C. H. Shockey, being post- master at Stoyestown, Pa. One sister, past 90 years of age, Mrs. Lavina Cros- by, residing in Illinois, and another, Mrs. Susan Weller, past 84, lives in Kansas City, Mo.—Cor. Cumberland Times. “Stick to It.” Geo. L. Heard, of High Tower, Ga., writes: “Eczema broke out on my baby covering his entire body. Under treatment of our family physician he got worse as he could not sleep for the burning and itching. We used a box of “Banner Salve” on him and by the time it was gone he was well.” The doctor seeing it was curing him said, “stick to it for it is doing him more good than anything I have done for eim.” E. H. Miller. gl ea No Lutheran Reunion this Year. The committee having in charge ar- rangements for the proposed reunion of Lutherans of Somerset county feel that they are not justified in acceding to the demand of the railroad company for the largely increased rate of fare named for reunions this summer. We regard as exorbitant the rate of a fare and a third for tickets good one day, with no special trains, but enly addi- tional coaches attached to regular trains, and believe we have the ap- proval of our people in not yielding to the imposition proposed by the compa- ny in seeking to exact this excessive rate of fare. The members of the com- mittee are of the opinion that reunions hereafter should be held in some grove centrally located and easy of access by private conveyance, that arrangements should be made without dependence on railway accommodations. Executive COMMITTEE. To My Friends. It is with joy I tell you what Kodol did for me. I was troubled with’ my stomach for several months. Upon be- ing advised to use Kodol, I did so, and words cannot tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommend it.Geo. W. Fry,Violo, Towa. Health and strength, and moral activ- ity of the digestive organs. Kodol, the great reconstructive tonic, cures all stomach and bowel troubles, indiges- tion. dyspepsia. Kodol digests any good food you eat. Take a dose after meals. E. H. Miller. dE Journalistie. The Forum appeared last week under the auspices of W. M. Conn & Co., pub- lishers, and J. L. Rodier, editor. It is now “an independent newspaper,” with indications favoring the adoption of a combination of the principles of An- drew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and Henry George. This is a field beside which those covered by the Cumber- land Times and Lonaconing Star are corner lots. It forecasts the approach of another golden age of the economic cast, and if all goes as all hope, Frost- burg will be its Terusalem.—Frostburg Mining Journal. But if all goes as it has been custom- ary to go with the Forum, Frostburg will be its Waterloo as heretofore. It seems that no paper can thrive in Frostburg, except Oder’s “Exclusively Great.” But let us hope for the best. It Needs a Tonic. There are times when your liver needs a tonic. Don’t give purgatives that gripe and weaken. DeWitt’s Lit- tle Early Risers expel all poison from the system and act as a tonic to the liver. W. Scott, 531 Highland ave., Milton, Pa., says: “I have carried De- Witt’s Little Early Risers with me for several years and would not be with- out them.” Small and easy to take. Purely vegetable. They never gripe or distress. E. H. Miller. A Snakeful. Mrs. D. B. Hannum, of Capon Springs, W. Va, killed 53'snakes at one time, one day last week. She was near her home when she noticed an immense snake near the road with a swarm of crawling, wriggling, twisting little snakes around the larger one. As Mrs. Hannum approached, the larger snake opened its mouth and the little snakes disappeared quickly down its throat. Then the mother snake showed fight, but Mrs. Hannum pluckily procured a rock, and with a well aimed blow broke the snake’s back. She then despatched the llttle snakes as they ran out of their dead mother’s mother.
