000.00 and the Peoples National Bank and Peidmont Savings Bank of Wins-
ton-Salem, N. C., will tell you our guarantee is good. This old honest,

Optimist John Morton’s Departure.
John Morton, alias Flozo,alias Grum-
| sen, alias any old thing, has quit wield-
| ing the puint brush in and about Salis-
"bury and Meyersdale and has gone to
Aliegheny, Pa., where he will serve his
country by dishing out liquid patriotism
to his thirsty fellow citizens who be-
lieve in taking something for their
stomach’s sake and their oft infirmities.
In other words, John has gone to be a
bar-tender. He could have been elect-
ed to the Legislature here, but he al-
ways refused all political snaps from
the U. 8. Senate down to Road
Supervisor. :
Well no matter where John goes, he
has a legion of friends here ‘“’mongst
the hills o’ Somerset,” where we all
“wisht” ha “wus livin’ yet.” True, John
had his faults, as we all have, but he
| was in every sense of the word an
optimist. He never could see anything
but the bright side of life. If he ever
saw anything gloomy in the world, he
always kept it to himself. His motto
seemed to be—
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow her mirth,
But has trouble enough of her own.
John could sing a rollicking or a
sentimental song to suit any occasion;
he could dance a hoe-down with the
best of them ; he could twist his lithe
and lanky form into all kinds of shapes;
he ‘could recite poetry and get off
oratory, and he could a tale unfold
with the best of them. He carried sun-
shine with him wherever he went;
he was kind and generour- at all
times and to all persons. Like Castoria,
the children cried for him, the old
maids sighed for him, grass widows
nearly died for him, and all the girls
lied for him when it was necessary.
But John has flown, the cheerful soul,
we ne’er may see him more; and now
we moan, and wail and groan for the
cheerful days of yore.

Timber Destroyed by Sleet.
The timber on Irons Mountain, 10
miles east of Cumberland, Md., has
been destroyed by sleet, and the oc-
currence is considered one of the most
remarkable of its kind in the history of
that section, if not in the country, says
a Cumberland, Md. dispatch. The tall
oak and pine trees have been stripped
of every limb, until what was once a
mighty forest now looks like so many
telegraph poles. :
What is known as the Williams road,
a much traversed public highway, is
completely blocked for a distance of
five miles. Judge Rice, of the Orphans’
court, who resides near Irons Mountain,
stated Wednesday that no ouae would
believe what a havoc the sleet had
wrought. Tuesday the trees began to
break, creating a noise that almost
frightened the natives to death.
Joint Ministerial Meeting.
The mid-winter meeting of the Joint

will read a paper on the topic, “The
place of the Holy Spirit in conversion,”
and Rev. R. S. Patterson, of Somerset,
will read on “Christ in the Old Testa-
ment.” All members are urged to be
present, and visiting clergy are cordially
welcome.

The deadlock in the school board,
during which the Christmas money of
teachers is also deadlocked, recalls
Puddinhead Wilson’s famous maxim:
“In che beginning the good Lord created
idiots ; then He made school boards.”

Hell Isn’t Hot Enough.
In reply to a statement of aceount,
sent to a subscriber in Jowa, the
Pierceton (Ind.) Record received the
following:
“Mr. Editor: I received your dun to-
day. Heretofore when I got a duu
from you I threw it aside and forgot
about it. I have just been making
some calculations and I find that it has
cost you 17 cents to dun me so far.
That money was thrown away, through
my carelessness. I really didn’t care
much about your paper, and that’s why
I didn’t pay any heed to the duns. In
your last dun just received I am re-
minded that you sent me your paper
five years without a penny from me,
besided your labor and expenses of
dunning me every six months. T now
realize how mean and dishonest I was,
and have become ashamed of myself.
I am a plain-spoken man and don’t
mince words. When I or any other
subscriber don’t appreciate a paper
enough to pay for it each year, we
should square up and stop it at opce.
I always felt that I would never stop
my paper until I paid up, because I
believe hell will never be hot enough
to punish a man who stops a paper
before paying what he owes. I enclose
$7.50 for the five years’ subsecripton T
owe you, also 17 cents for the postage
you wasted on me. You may please
stop the paper, for I believe I am too
careless a man to take any pager.
Give my regards to all old friends in
Pierceton, but please don’t mention my
name. I would hate to have my old
friends know that I made you wait five
years for subscription to the old home
paper.”
We earnestly hope the above will
make some impression upon a number
of the readers of this paper. It con-
tains good common sense, and we be-
lieve those in arrears will see the
strength of it.

When a man has labored all day and
comes home exhausted to find a emiling
wife and cheerful words to greet him
he is satisfied.
On the other hand, let him come
home and find a scowling wife, an un-
tidy house and nothing but cross words
—can you blame him for going away
again?
Why cannot every wife make home
so pleasant for a husband that he will
enjoy the pleasure of coming and re-
maining at home after the day’s work?
When a woman works hard all day
to keep neat and tidy the few things
her husband grudgingly doles out to
her for the home ; when she cares for
the children and gets them ready for
school, nurses the baby, and cooks the
food—what little there is of it—the
very least a man can do when he comes
home at might is to bring kind words
and pleasant looks.—Humane Journal.

_ The Baby Boy.
Have you a little boy
A few months more than two years
old,
With soft brown eyes that brim with joy
And silken ringlets bathed in gold,
Who, toddling, follows you around
And plays beside you near the hearth;
Whose prattle is the sweetert sound
To you of all glad notes on earth?
Have you a little baby boy
Who, shen the voice of slumber calls,
Reluctant, leaves euch tattered toy
And in your strong arms weary falls;
Who, yawning, looks with sleepy eyes
Into your own and faintly smiles;
Then shuts his lids and quiet lies,
And drifts away to Dreamland’s isles?
Have you a little one like this,
Who puts all troubling thoughts te
flight
When, climbing up, be plants a kiss
Of love upon your lips at night?
1f so, then humbly bow you knee
And lift your heart in thankful prayer,
IFor you are richer far than he
Who, childless, is a millionaire.

A Few From the Oakland Re-
publican.
Eli Orendorf, Jr., aged 22 years, is
lying dangerously ill of diphtheria at
the home of his father, Eli Orendorf,
Sr., near Bittinger. The friends of the
young man entertain little hope for his
recovery.
A white swan measuring six feet, ten
inches from tip to tip of wings, and
four feet two inches from tip of bill to
tip of tail, was shot by Richard Custer,
of near Swanton, one day last week.
The bird was a wild one and ic is
presumed became bewildered in the
storm that was in progress when it was
shot.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad officials,
according to dispatches contained in
the daily papers, are “legging” to have
Congress select Somerset, Pa., as the
site for the permanent army camp
while the citizens of that town are
petitioning Congress against it. A
rather peculiar state of affairs. Oak-
lund has set forth her advantages in a
circular which was presented to Con-
gress at its last session.
Singularly enough, the residents of
Somerset, are unalterably opposed te
the plan of having an army post located
in that vicinity and are signing a
petition to Congress in opposition to
the bill now before that body to es-
tablish a post at Somerset. The Som-
erset people are imbued with the feel-
ing that an army post would disturb
the peace and quiet of the town and
demoralize things generally. The Som-
erset folks are entitled to have their
scare, but there are other places ready
to take the responsibility from Somer-
set, particularly Oakland. This city
will willingly step into the breach and
save Somerset’s bloom of innocence
from being tarnished.
A Cold Wave.
The forecast of sudden changes in the
weather serves notice that a hoarse
voice and a heavy cough may invade
the sanctity of health in your owm
home. Cautious people have a bottle
of One Minute Cough Cure always at
hand. E. H. Wise, Madison, Ga., writes:
“I am indebted to One Minute Cough
Cure for my present good health, and
probably my life.” It cures Coughs,
Colds, LaGrippe, Bronchitis, Pneumonia
and all Throat and Lung troubles. One
Minute Cough Cure cuts the phlegm,
draws out the inflammation, heals and
soothes the mucous membranes and
strengthens the lungs. E. H. Miller.
How Mark Twain Was Favored.
Mark Twain was recently standing
in a crowded street car, hanging to a
strap. As the car swung around a cor-
ner the strap broke, dumping him inte
the lap of a well dressed woman. The
humorist arose and bowed.
“Madam,” said he, “this is the first
time the street car company ever con-
ferred a favor on me. —New York
