It’s wrong to suppose that your bus- iness is so well known that you do nqgt need continuous advertising. If you do not advertise the same in the sum- mer as you do in the winter, you invite dull business and lose your prestige to the man who keeps everlastingly at it. It’s much easier to keep your business by continuous advertising than it is to regain it after it is lost by several months of silence. Keep your name and goods fresh in the minds of the | people when they have time tu read, So { through thé columns of your local Advertising Rates. “Transient Reading Notices, 5 cents & line | 2ach insertion.

She's getting polished off a bit, And pretty well Japanned. —The Ad-Writer. The man who thinks for himself is | never without a following. . Mrs. Stewart Smith and daughter Alice went to Pittsburg, last Saturday, go visit friends. Allen Spier, of Midlothian, Md., died recently of injuries received in the Carlos mine, Georges Creek region. We are sorry to learn that Mrs. Howard Meager is quiteill. Her many friends all hope for her speedy recovery. Mrs. A. D. Johnson, of Uniontown, arrived in town last week for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Keim. Miss Annie Smith, who recently com- pleted a very successful term of school at Muanhall, Pa, returned home a few | days ago. Mr. Henry Yost and daughter Clara, and Mrs. Jeremiah Yost, of Garrett ‘county, Md., visited Salisbury friends yesterday. Theodore Ringler, who is in the em- . ploy of Herman Garner, of Pittsburg, visited his parents here on Sunday and Monday last. The late May frosts did more damage ‘to the fruit crop than most people an- ticipated, but there will be a heavy apple crop in this vicinity, nevertheless. Wm. A. Somerville, a member of Co. 0, 28th U. 8. Infantry, was buried at Lonaconing, Md., Thursday, May 26th. He died in the Philippine Islands on the 7th of last December. Lf John Fair yesterday purchased the Martin store property in West Salis- ‘bury, for something like $2,500. It is Mr. Fair's intention to have the build- ing remodeled and use it for a hotel. A game of base ball was played here syesterday by the Salisbury Hoboes and ithe Meyersdale Hoboes. Our home boys won by a score of 23 to 20 and did not take advantage of their last inning at the bat. Ezra L. Milliron, of Rockwood, ar- rived here last week and will clerk at 8. A. Lichliter’s store during the ab- sence of Levi Lichliter, who went west to visit friends and take a look at the 8t. Louis exposition. Milt Livengood caught about 25 trout in Tub Mill run, Monday last. He showed one at Tue Star office that measured 11'4 inches. When Miit ean’t ketch ’em it haint no use fer to try, as the feller says, says he. Mrs. Cyrus Hoenshell, of Boynton, died very suddenly on Thursday even- ing last. She was aged about 45 years. Funeral service was held at the Luth- eran church, Saturday afternoon, con- ducted by Rev. E. 8. Johnston. W.N. Hay, who for the past two years has had charge of the Hay hotel, has purchased a home in Cumberland, Md., and will move to that city in the very near future. His successor at the hotel will be his brother, D. I. Hay. It is a noteworthy circumstance, that ! through 79 years have elapsed since Gen. LaFayette visited Fayette county, yet the News Standard is able to print ! paper.—The Ad- Writer. The influence of newspaper adver- tising is wonderful. It makes small stores great. It turns the tide of busi- ness towards the advertised store as nothing else will. It places the names the people that they cannot think of dry goods, cloching, shoes or drugs without the name of that advertised store coming to their minds simulta- neously. By a good, persistent adver- tising campaign any business house can push its way to the front. The very best medium to use in your com- munity is your local newspaper, as it goes to the people when their minds are easily impressed.—The Ad-Writer. A certain bright young clerk at one of the local hotels is being “roasted” on all sides to-day because when a happy young couple came yesterday and ask- ed for the use of the parlor to be mar- ried in he put on his Sunday smile and said “Of course.” In due time the couple were made one and the clerk was waiting orders for a hnndsome dinner, at least, while the bridegroom ‘was out on a skirmish for something to eat at one of the down-tcwn groceries. He found what he was hunting, bought it and came back to the hotel where he and the new wife sat in the parlor and ate cheese and crackers to their hearts’ content. They had “done” the clerk and were happy.—Butler Eagle. When the home of one of the adver- tisers in a country paper in the Far West is blessed, the editor bas a touch of inspiration. This is from The Gold morning broke dark and gloomy, but early in the day the sombre clouds parted, and suddenly there appeared a most beautiful and radiant being that would rival the Star of Bethlehem in splendor; and as it neared the earth its voice could be heard saying,'l come from the Master on the wings of love to bring little gifts to those who doeth the Master's bidding, which sayeth, ‘Be fruitful and replenish the earth.’ Thereupon it plucked a tiny feather from its wing, which gently descended until it was cradled in the arms of Mrs, Ernest Vroman. It proved to be a very beautiful but imperious lady, who will make Ernest get up in the mid- dle of the night, and, perchance, step on the point of a great big tack as he sings a lullaby, ‘Home, Sweet Home.”” The oldest bell in the United States is on exhibition in the New-Mexico Building of the World’s Fair. The bell was brought from Spain on one of the first expeditions to Mexico by Father Juan de Padilla, one of the Francisgan fathers who accompanied Coronado io New-Mexico. It was hung in one of the mission churches established in one of the seven cities of Cibolla. From there it was taken to Gran Qui- vera, where it was hung in a church of which the ruins are still visible. From Gran Quivers it was taken to Algod- ones, where it has hung in the parish church ever since. Father Padilla was killed by his guides while on the way from Gran Quivera to Algodones. The bell weighs exactly 198 pounds. It was baptized Maria Joiefa. It was cast in the year A. D. 1355, according to the inscription which is cast in the bell. The “F” in the word “Josefa” is invert- ed, and the letters “S” and “E” are transposed, the mistake evidently hav- ing been made in the mould. HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED. From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont. In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa- per was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping up- on his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be- came 80 bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Romedy as a last hope.

Such was the experience of Mrs. 8S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. “For three years” she writes, “I endured insuffer- able pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevit- able when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I'm completely recoyered.” For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and. Bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It’s guaranteed by E. H. Miller, Druggist. 7-1 THE ELECTRIC ROAD. Once More it Gives Promise of Be- coming a Reality. The Meyersdale & Salisbury Street Railway Company once more declare that matters are in shape to complete the round at an early date. A renewal of their franchise has been obtained from Meyersdale borough, and Salis- bury borough has also renewed the company’s franchise here. Our Town Council recently met in special session to act on renewing the franchise of the M. & S. Street Railway Co. and the Salisbury Light, Heat and Power Co. The franchises were granted almost unanimously, A. O. McKinley, the chronic objector, being the only mem- ber voting against the renewal. A few days later the ordinance was vetoed by the Burgess, who like McKinley, in- sists on sitting on the tail of progress and holding onto antiquated ideas. We are glad tosay, however, that the ordinance will be passed over the veto of the Burgess, as we have at least six councilmen with no moss growing on their backs, and that number is more than is needed to put the unpopular veto of the Burgess into the ice chest for safe keeping.

The Judge bears his advanced age re- markably well and declares that in spite of hi: numerous gray hairs he is atill one of “the boys.” He went to Tittaburg Friday evening to pass a day or two. Attorney J. A. Berkey, of Somerset, on Monday received the following tele- gram from United States Senator Boies Penrose, chairman of the Republican State Committee: “I have appointed you as a member of committee to rep- resent the State Committee at the fu- neral of Senator Quay, which occurs at Beaver at two o'clock to-morrow after- noon.” Mr. Berkey left for Beaver on Monday evening. W. V. Marshall of Berlin was trans- acting business at the county seat last Friday, having come here from Mey- ersdale, where he was trying to estab- lish a shoe manufactory. It was large- ly through the efforts of Mr. Marshall that the shoe manufactory at Berlin and the one soon to be established at Somerset were brought to this county, and he says a company will probably be formed at Meyersdale. The Berlin factory is turning out in the neighbor- hood of 200 pairs of shoes daily, and has had no trouble in disposing of the entire output. He says the company has been, at several times, unable to meet the demand. AN ALARM CLOCK FOR 25c. If you want to get up early and feel good all day take a Little Early Riser or two at bed time. These famous little pills relax the nerves, give quiet { rest and refreshing sleep, with a gentle movement of the bowels about break- fast time. W. H. Howell, Houston, Tex., says “Early Risers are the best pills made for constipation, sick head- | ache, billiousness, ste.” Sold by E.

Last Thursday night the Boynton postofiice burglarized, but the plunder secured was of small value, amounting to less than $15 in stamps and money. Two suspicious looking characters had been seen loitering about ip this vicinity and at Boynton for several days, and suspicion points strongly to- ward them as being the men that com- mitted the robbery. On Saturday morning last the two men were arrested on suspicion by Constable John Walker, assisted by Samuel Bowser, of Boynton. One of them was disposed to resist arrest, and he reached for his revolver, but Walker had the drop on him, and when John asked him to be good or be shot full of holes, the prisoner decided to be good and go with the officer peaceably. A hearing was had before Justice Lowry, and while no positive evidence was produced to prove that they robbed the Boynton postoftice, it was neverthe= less deemed best to send them to jail for vagrancy and carrying concealed weapons, burglars’ tools, ete. They had on their persons two 38-caliber revoly- era, a lot of skeleton keys, steel hack saws, fuse and dynamite caps. On Baturday afternoon they were hand-cuffed together and taken to jail by Constable Walker. ' In Meyeors- dale they were put in the borough lockup until train time, and while there they camé very near making their es- cape. They managed to reach a stove poker near the door of their cell, and with that they broke the lock and got out into the entrance room of the building. They were just about to escape from the building, when one of the Meyersdale policemen happened to enter the room and discover what had taken place. In a few ‘minutes more the prisoners would have made their escape, but they were apprehended just in time, and now they are in jail. It is likely that they will be sent to penitentiary, and time may show that they are wanted in other places for other crimes. ? They are bad-looking men, and they give their names as Albert Winehart and John Ryan. One man gave his age as 24 and the other as 54 years, and both stated that they had no home. FOR A HUNDRED YEARS, For a hnndred years or more Witch Hazel has been recognized as a super- ior remedy, but it remained for E. C. DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, to discover how to combine the virtues of Witch Hazel with other antiseptics, in the form of a salve. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best salve in the world for sores, cuts, burns, bruises and piles. The high standing of this salve has given rise to counterfeits, and the pub- lic is advised to look for the name “De- Witt” on the package, and accept no other. Sold by E. H. Miller. 7-1 was EE n— A Happy Reunion of Three Families. About the happiest men in town, this week, are Wm. Rowe, John Prynn and George James, who came here from England, last fall, with Rev. John Meager, who spent last summer in that country, visiting the friends and scenes of his younger days. The three gentlemen first named left their fam- ilies in England, intending to have them come to America later, providing they found this country to their liking: After remaining here for nearly a year, Messrs. Rowe, Prynn and James came to the conclusion that this is a good place to locate in, so they sent for their families. Mr. Meager met the women and children in New York, where they landed last Sunday, and escorted them safely to our pretty little mountain city, arriving here on Monday morning. It is needless to say that the reunion was a most joyful one, bringing equal joy to all concerned. Mrs. Prynn has two children and Mrs. James four, and the ladies were also accompanied by Mr. Mark Prynn, a brother of one of the men who arrived here last year. The new arrivals are much pleased with what they have seen of our country, and especially are they favor- ably impressed with Salisbury. We trust that they will continue to like it here, and become permanent and naturalized citizens of our community. They are excellent people, and THE STAR, in behalf of the community, ex- tends to them a most hearty welcome. Be Honest. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union professes to be an organization of Christian women. It is, therefore, shocking to hear that some of its mem- bers bribed small boys to buy soda water on Sunday, in order to furnish evidence against the vendors. To plain people professing no superior claims to virtue, no reserved seat in heaven, no golden harp to strum, this looks like sinful guile. It is not fair play ; it is not honest. It may be argued by the good ladies of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union that they are justified in “fight- ing the devil with fire,” but that is the Jesuistical argument. The methods of the Jesuists have failed to obtain the endorsement of humane and fair-mind- ed people, and have long ago gone | down before a storm of universal con- ville Courier. 4ST NATIONAL FROSTBURG.
