A Very Pretty Wedding.
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 24th, a
very pretty wedding took place at the
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. S. C.
Loechel, who reside in Garrett county,
Md., about four miles south of Salis-
bary.
The contracting parties were Clar-
ence, the eldest son of Mr. Loechel,and
Olive Eliza, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Jonas E. Gnagey. late of Grantsville,
Mad.
The ceremony was performed in the
presence of nearly 100 invited guests
by the Rev. E. 8. Johnston, D. D., pas-
tor of St. John’s Lutheran church of
Salisbury, Pa. At the appointed hour
an orchestra composed of the Knecht
brothers, of West Salisbury, and H. G.
Withelmi and Mort. A. Wagner, of Sal-
isbury, began playing a beautiful wed-
ding march, and the betrothed couple
entered the handsome parlor, beauti-
fully attired, and accompanied by Mr.
Max Bowman and Miss Evora Loechel,
who acted as groomsman and brides-
maid respectively.” Both couples made
an exceedingly handsome and refined
appearance, and the ceremony was per-
formed in the neat and impressive
manner for which the aforesaid good
parson is noted. The whole house was
beautifully decorated with flowers,
plants and the beautifully tinted au-
tumn leaves for which this locality is
noted at this season of the year, and
all in all, it was one of the most tasti-
ly arranged weddings we have ever
attended.
After the large audience had shower-
ed their congratulations and blessings
upon the happy young couple, all par-
took of a sumptuous feast which was
in readiness for the numerous guests.
The supper was simply grand and re-
flected great credit on the competent
cooks, waiters and the good host and
hostess. That all did ample justice to
the great spread of good things is a
foregone conclusion.
After supper the evening was spent
in merry converse and the usual en-
joyments indulged in on such occasions,
and it was after the midnight hour
when all of the guests retired to their
homes. The presents were many and
elegant, and all went home feeling that
they had a good time and that each of
the newly wedded couple had drawn a
capital prize in the person of the other.
The groom is one of the best young
men in all this locality—handsome, ro-
boust, industrious, a dutiful son of good
habits who will be an ideal husband.
The bride—what can we say to do her
justice? Handsome? Yes, and love-
ly, too. She has the beauty of a Cleo-
patra, the form of a Diana, and in her
handsome countenance is the imprint
of all that is pare, lovely, virtuous,
steadfast, prudent and discreet, all of
which virtures she is known to possess
to the fullest degree. To have such a
wife for a companion is to be rich be-
yond the dreams of avarice, no mat-
ter whether the couple is in posses-
sion of a dellar or a million of them.
We are exdeedingly proud that the fair
bride is ou cousin, and we are just as
proud of the young man of, her choice.
May good fortune, good deeds, peace
and happiness attend them all through
life.
Look Out For Fever.
Billiousness and liver disorders at
this season may be prevented by cleans-
ing the system with DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers. These famous little pills
do not gripe. They move the bowels

strength to the glands. E. H. Miller.

TO COMPLETE SOUTH PENN.
Pennsylvania Railroad are Said to
Have Decided on That Move.
| Connellsville Courier.
There is talk of completing the South
Penn railroad on which the Vanderbilt
interests a number of years ago spent
$20,000,000. The line would have been
a competing one for the Pennsylvania
and was shut off by their purchase.
Now the Pennsylvania have use for the
road. The South Penn road is admit-
ted to be the natural route across the
State, being shorter by 65 miles than
the present main line of the Pennsylva-
nia. The need of a sherter route to
the East, and more particularly addi-
tional trackage is a growing problem
the Pennsylvania officials. Be-
tween Altoona and Pittsburg, where
the additional room is mostly required,
the company are unable to secure
ground for the enlargement of facili-
ties. Passing as it does through coops,
ed-up passageways across the Alle-
ghenies, the great system has practie-
ally reached the limit of reseurces and
are still erying for more room toilay
tracks for the handling of Busingsuut
of the Pittsburg territory. For these *
reasons and for the additional ene tht
the Wabash promises to become a com-
petitor of the Pennsylvania to the East,
President Cassatt and his co-workers
are seriously contemplating the com-
pletion of the South Penn project.
Three years would be required to put
the road in shape for use. At Harris-
burg piers for a bridge across the Sus-
quehanna are still standing. From
that point the road nearly paralleled
the Cumberland Valley to a point near
Newville. Then it took a straight
course across the State, passing through
Fulton, Bedford, Somerset and West-
moreland counties, thence to Pittsburg,
connecting with the West Penn Divis-
ion. Eight or ten long and expensive
tunnels were required in the work.
Some of these were partially completed
and the road about half finished when
the Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilts
reached an agreement that resulted in
abandoning the projeet.
The partially completed tunnels are
in good coudition and it is said by rail-
road men that the South Penn could be
completed in lbss than three years.
Pennsylvania officials are not disposed
to confirm the reports, but the admit
that it appeared to be the only solution
of the diffieulty the company are now
in, and it seemed to be they only way
they have out of the.inereasing trouble.
Natural Anxiety.
Mothers regard approaching winter
with uneasiness, children take cold so
easy. No disease costs more little
lives than eroup. It’s attack is so sud-
den that the sufferer is often beyond
human aid before the doctor arrives.
Sueh cases yield readily to One Minute
Cough Cure. Liquifies the mucus, al-
lays inflammation, removes danger.
Absolutely safe. Acts immediately.

dered me voiceless just before an ora-

draw but took One Minute Cough

Game Laws of Garrett County, Md.
Many persons have made inquiry of
us recently regarding the game laws in
Garrett county, Md. and we hereby

The Worst Form.
Multitudes are singing the praises of
Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
tehy eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transforming their
food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you fell good all over.
Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I. T., writes: For
a nmber of years I was troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia which grew
into the worst form. Finally I was in-
duced to use Kodol and after using
four bottles I am entirely cured. I
heartily recommend Kodol to all suffer-
ers from indigestion and dyspepsia.
Take a dose after meals. It digests
what you eat. E. H. Miller.
