LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. Mrs. M. J. Coleman, the mother of the editor’s wife and Mrs. 8S. L. Liven good, arrived here from Nebraska, Wednesday evening, for a visit with ker daughters. Wm. J. Davis, formerly of Elk Lick township, but now a farmer of Somer- get township, was a visitor at the home of his parents, Elder and Mrs. John N. Davis, Sunday last. Our local racing men were not in it, except at the tail end, at the Meyers dale races, last week. As a natural consequence the “hoss” talk has pretty well subsided in Salisbury. Rev. Knepper is this week attending the District Conference of the Breth- ren church at Allentown, Pa., ‘but will return in time to conduct his 2 p. m. Sunday services at Salisbury. Last Friday our old Friend Casper Wahl went to Port Chester, N. Y,, to visit his daughter, Mrs. D. A. MeLaugh- lin. Casper is entitled to a vacation and we hope be is having a very pleas- ant visit. Under date of Oct. 6th, John W. Ringler writes that he and his family and their goods have arrived safely at their destination at Akron, Ohio. He says: “Send my paper to Talmage, Obio. Weather is fine; no frost yet.” The Meyersdale fair and races closed last Saturday. Many people attended, and while all agree that the fair was far superior to that of last year, the aniyersal opinion seems to be that it was a very tame affair, just the same. ‘The well known Haines house, at Rockwood, was recently sold by its ewner, George Ridenour, to J. A. Ber- key and Fred. Biesecker, of Somerset. The price paid is said to be $14,000, which includes ground buildings, furni- ture and all appurtenances. Ed. Grove lost a cow from eating tco much green corn. A big hog got at the carcass of the dead cow and ate so much that it died. Acting the hog kills hogs, too, says the Cumberland Courier. Whether Ed. or the cow ate the overdose of corn, the Courier does not say. Ira D. Reckard,Duncombe, Ia. writes: “My little boy scalded his leg from the knee to the ankle. I used Banner Salve immediately and in three weeks time it was almost entirely healed. I want to recommend it to every family and advise them to keep Banner >alve on hand as it is a sure remedy for scalds or any other sores.” E. H. Mil- ler. Some railroad man is mean enough to say, ‘whenever the cars run over a farmer’s cow it is always a thorough- bred the company is called upon to pay for. All stock becomes thoroughbred after being run over by a train. There is nothing that improves the blood of stock so much as being crossed with a locomotive.” An editor in North Dakota stated in his paper recently that he had been kissed by one of the most beautiful married women in-town, and promised to tell her name in the first issue of his paper in the next month. In the two weeks following, his circulation doub- led; but when he named his wife he had to leave town. Oar friend Phineas Compton brought an apple to town several days ago that weighs a pound. It can be seen at Thompson’s popular and up-to-date grocery. This isn’t the biggest apple brought to town this year, as will be seen elsewhere in these columns, but it is big enough to secure special men- tion in THE STAR. Mrs. C. A. Lichty, of Sabetha, Kan. formerly Miss Carrie Beachy, of Elk Lick township, is here visiting her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Beachy, and her many other friends. Mrs. Lichty reports times very prosperous jn Kansas, and it is needless to say that she is well pleased with her home in the west. Her husband is one of the business men of Sabetha, which is a prosperous t town of about 2,000 inhabi- tants. While opening a box, J. C. Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N. Y., ran a ten penny nail through the fleshy part of his hand. “I thought at once of all the pain and soreness this would cause me,” he says, ‘and immediately applied Chamber- lan’s Pain Balm and occasionally after- wards. To my surprise it removed all pain and soreness and the injured parts were soon healed.” For sale by E. H. Miller. 10-30 One of the latest creations of the culinary studio is called pineapple pie. You grate up the fruit, add sugar and lemon juice, and in some way or other you make the lower crust just right. It is necessary to use caution here. A sort of correct cream is applied for the top layer. The result is a dream, a ro- mance, a moonlight scene, a sonata, a welcome home, an embrace after long parting, a well in the desert, a watered garden.—Ex. It is slow process to wait until every- one in a given territory comes to a place and asks for what he wants. The man who rushes into thousands of homes and tells a story of values has the ad- vantage over the man who sits quietly in his store and waits to sell the goods in which he has so much confidence. Advertising is merely telling people about goods as they are for the benefit of those who ought to want them and who will want them when they know the price at which they are marked.— Ex. The Williamsport Leader advertises that he will take four nice spring chick- ens for a year’s subscription, says the Cumberland Courier, then adds: “We will do better than that at this office. We will take five or even six if the sub- sceriber insists.” How does the Courier man know that the Williamsport Lead- er is a he? It is just barely possible that the Courier man would take all the chickens in the subscriber’s coop on a real dark night, for nothing, with- out saying a word, and butcher them as he butchers the King’s English. Mrs. A. F. Welshons, who was a daughter of the late Levi Snyder, died at her home in Pittsburg several days ago, aged 48 years. She is survived by her husband, and. we think, several children. The funeral took place to- day in Meyersdale. Mrs. Welshons was a sister of Fremont, Bruce and Charles R. Snyder, and Nrs. Archie Cochrane and Mrs. W. H. Fair. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved relatives. The deceased was a highly esteemed lady and was well known to many of our readers. The Queen City Courier says: Some merchants and some other men go ta more trouble than a little to stamp their own envelopes. Some use “Cheap John” stuff with other people’s adver- tisements on. When you see one of this kind of hogs you would better watch your corn cribs. This class of people borrow all they can to keep the printer from living, yet they want them to give him a puff in the paper often. The printer will get a whack at them in their obituary, knowing they can never “get back—from down there.” The Courier is more than half right. In October, 1898, Ben Jones, of West Salisbury, brought an apple to Tnx STAR office that weighed 1!4 pounds. The apple grew on Ben’s own little farm and was indeed a beauty. It was the largest apple on record at Tne STAR office until Mrs. Broadstock gave us one, last week that beat it by three ounces. When we informed Ben of the fact that he was beaten, he almost cried. Since Ben has taken to raising social- istic ideas on his farm instead of fine fruit, it will likely be a long time be- fore he can redeem the lost champion- ship for the largest apple. Chas. Plitt and Chas. Hentz, who were down on the Big Cacapon on a fishing tour, returned on Saturday last. Their eateh was 140 bass and several eels, of which they brought 85 home with them. While there were no un- usually large ones among the lot, yet they were a nice string of fish. Frank Daugherty, of Sand Patch, who was out to the fishing grounds ahead of them, had great luck. One of his catch weigh- ed 4 pounds, and another 4!4 pounds. They all report fishing good in that ¥o- cality, not to say anything about the good time they had.—Meyersdale Re- publican. The Quemahoning Supply Company building now being erected at Boswell, will, when completed, be without ex- ception the finest business structure in Somerset county, says the Somerset Herald. The building, 60x120 feet, is being constructed of solid masonry, all of the stone required having been found convenient to the site. The stone is a hard stone and when dressed and placed in position presents a solid and handsome appearance. The structure will be roofed with slate and will be as nearly fire proof as stone, steel and slate can make it. A large force of masons are employed on the building and every effort is being made to have it under roof before cold weather sets in. The basement will be utilized for cold storage purposes, and the first and second fioors as a Separimens store. Never Ak Advice, When you have a cough or cold don’t ask what is good for it and get some medicine with little or no merit and perhaps dangerous. Ask for Foley’s Honey and Tar, the greatest throat and lung remedy, it cures coughs and colds quickly. E.H. Miller. old C. streei, While assisting in razing the A. Kimmell residence on Main recently, Simon Berkey found an old French coin—about the size of an old U. 8S. copper—that bears date of 1431. The coin was carefully placed between the studding and door-jamb and is re- markably well preserved, considering its age—471 years. Mr. Berkey will probably write the French Ambassador at Washington for information, and many think be can realize right hand- somely for the coin.—Somerset Stan- dard. It is not possible for the proprietors to publish more than a very few of the numerous letters received in praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy and telling of its re- markable cures. They come from peo- ple in every walk in life and from ev- ery state in the Union. The following from Mr. T. W. Greathouse, of Pratts- burg, Ga., speaks for itself: “I would have been dead now but for the use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoae Remedy. ' It cured me of chronic diarrhoea after seven years of suffer- ing. I can never say too much in praise of that remedy.” For sale by E. H. Miller. T 110:80 Another coal company will soon be chartered and its headquarters will be located in Meyersdale. The name of the new corporation will be “The Mey- ersdale Coal Company.” About 150 acres of surface land has been purchas- ed in the vicinity of Listie and Wells Creek, together with the mineral right of 500 more acres. Those interested in the new corporation are Jacob I.. Ken- dall, of Pittsburg; Samuel -A. Kendall, Frank B. Black, J. M. Black and W. T. Hoblitzell, all of Meyersdale, and Eu- gene T. Norton, of Connellsville. Frank B. Black has been chosen as president of the company, while W. T. Hoblitzell is secretary and treasurer of the same, says the Fayette Republican. To glance over the Frostburg news- papers (?) one might easily be led to believe that Frostburg is a town about the size of Pocahontas, Pa., the home of Mr. Pinkwhiskers and Fred Darr. The Journal, Mr. Oder’s “exclusively great,” has some good editorials in it from time to time, but as a newspaper —well, it cannot truthfully be called a newspaper. It looks just a little bit silly for the Journal to reprint insig- nificant happenings taken from its old files published thirty years ago, and giving its readers little or nothing of what is going on in the town at the present time. The other Frostburg pa- per, the Forum, is absolutely nothing and very little of that. No reasonable excuse for its existence can possibly be given. It is now in order for the great (?) journalists of Frostburg to set up a howl. : A few days ago a Baltimore street merchant went out in the country east of town, gunning. He failed to find any game, so he concluded to shoot mark at a stable. He selected a spot and shot twice, and then went to see how well he had done. Upon reaching the stable he heard a horse inside, and going inside he discovered that he had shot the horse in two places, making flesh wounds. He went to the owner and quietly asked what he would take for the horse, and the answer was $60. He didn’t bring his game to market. The rule with hunters is for the one who draws first blood to get the hide and hind quarters, but the merchant don’t even claim hide or quarters. He is very generous and will yield the whole “hoss.” - All he cared for was the sport, and he got that. Had the horse been standing out in the open, the chances are that he would have missed it—Cumberland Courier. Down in Bedford county when ap- ples of the 20-ounce variety weigh from 16 to 17 ounces, the newspapers make a big blow about it. Last week’s edition of the Hyndman Bulletin says: “Two apples of the 20-ounce variety were brought to this office, Tuesday, by Simeon Raley, one weighing 17 ounces and the other balanced the scales at the pound mark. The apples were plucked from a tree on the Frank Wagaman farm, near Bard. The ap- ples are very solid and perfect, and on- ly go to show what Bedford county can produce it the fruit line.” Weil, it takes a pretty good apple to weigh 16 or 17 ounces, but the 20-ounce variety ought to weigh 20 ounces. Up here ’mongst the hills o’ Somerset we can beat old Mother Bedford all hollow on big apples. Here are some of the big ones raised right here in Salisbury and vicinity this year: Xllis Wagner show- ed one that weighed 15 onuces, John Walker produced two that weighed that much each, J, T. Smearman show- ed us one that weighed a pound,and last, but not least, Mrs. T.Broadstock gave the | editor of this paper two apples. one of which weighs a pound and the other a pound and seven ounces. Not one of these big apples is of the 20-ounce va- riety, yet one of them tips the beam at that plus three ounces to the good. The 20-ounce variety would grow to about the size of a wash tub in old Som- erset. Droger in Fall Colds. Fall colds are liable to hang on all winter leaving the seeds of pneumonia, bronehits or consumption. Foley’s Hon- ey and Tar cures quickly and prevents serious results. It is old and reliable, tried and tested, safe and sure. Con- tains no opiates and will not constipate. E. H. Miller. ‘fect health.” The Biggest of All Big Apples—Ed. Hay’s Prayer May be Responsi- ble for It. Tue Star has from time to time been telling its readers of big apples grown in this vicinity this year. The first mentioned in these columns was a 15- ounce apple raised by Ellis Wagner, of this borough. Next John Walker, of Elk Lick township, brought two of the same weight to town. Then, J. T. Smearman, of the borough, showed one that grew on a tree in his lot that tip- ped the beam at one pound. But now comes Mrs. Broadstock, a widow lady residing about three miles east of Sal- isbury, with two apples grown on her little farm that weigh one pond and ane pound seven ounces respectively. These two monster apples were hand- ed to the editor of THE STAR, last Sat- urday, along with several others nearly as large. The biggest one measured 16 inches in circumference one way and 15 inches the other. it is indeed a jumbo, but Mrs. Broadstock does not know the name of the variety to which it belongs. In color it is a light green, nearly yellow, of beautiful form and excellent flavor. All who have seen it pronounce it the largest apple they have ever seen. Great was the praise accorded to the widow of ye olden time who contributed her mite, but in this instance we must sing the praise of the widow who contributed to THE STAR'S collection the biggest apple we have seen this year. We defy any and all competitors to beat it. But there may be some special cause why apples grow so large on Mrs. Broadstock’s little farm. In the not far distant past several young men from Salisbury went out in the country to explore the Findlay cave, which is located close to Mrs. Broadstock’s home. After making the exploration, the ex- plorers found themselves quite hungry, and they went to Mrs. Broadstock’s home and ordered a good dinner, re- gardless of expense. The good woman soon had an elegant dinner spread be- fore her guests, and Ed. Hay, a very devout and pious young man of the party, was so well pleased that he bow- ed his head after being seated at the table and offered up a most fervent prayer. We are told that he prayed God to shower the choicest of blessings upon the good hostess and her father- less children, to reward them with good crops, ete., ete. It is said that he pray- ed especially for a good fruit crop, that the widow might have apples as big as pumpkins and many bushels of them, and that he might be able to buy sev- eral thousand bushels to convert into apple jack as fine as any that ever gurgled down the red lane of man. If all this is true, it’s no wonder that apples grow large on the Broadstock farm, for we are told in Holy Writ that the prayers of the righteous avail- eth much. Look Out For Fever.
