Mr. Miller hopes to have a permanent position for i" ith ; a the young man. Philip Smith, a well known young man who grew to manhood in this town, but who left here a good many years ago, landed here last week to look up old acquaintances. This is bis first visit to the old town in nine years, and during that time he has traveled far and wide in the United States and Canada, working at various occupa- tions, as suited his fancy. Philip is quite a roamer, but is the same genial, warm-hearted fellow as of yore, and the old boys are all glad to see him, He thinks of getting employment here and remaining a while. Prof. William Baumgardner, who is one of the instructors of the prepara- tory school at Keyser, W. Va, arrived here several days ago for a visit with Salisbury friends. Mr. Q. A.

On Tuesday evening last, Marcellus Shartzer, of Coal Run, was arraigned before Squire Lowry, charged with having thrown a brick at some miners employed at the Meager mine, while the said miners were on their way home from work. The brick struck Wm. MeMurdo in the side, slightly in- juring nim. Several men swore posi- tively that they saw Shartzer throw the brick, and under the evidence of- fered, the Justice could do nothing but bind Shartzer over to court. His bond was fixed at $300, which was promptly provided, and the case will come up at the September court. Shartzer claims to be able to prove an alabi. If we are worth nothing to the people at home, we need not flatter ourselves that there is a big niche for us in the outside world. The son whom his father trusts with his business wor- ries, and on whom his mother leans, who helps plant a bright ideal in the mind of a younger brother, who feels a responsibility for making home the brightest and most attractive place to be found, is the very one whose life the limits of home.

Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last? Such was the experience of Mrs. S. 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 doetors 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 recovered” For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It’s guaranteed by E. H.

Our thanks are due to Mr. Huston for arranging for the trip. It far exceed- ed the expectations of those of us who had never seen the great rock, from the summit of which we could see into four states, viz: Pennsylvania, Mary- land, Virginia and West Virginia. On a clear day one can see Cumberland and Frostburg, Md., Winchester, Va, and Keyser, W. Va., from the rock. We have neither space nor time to go into‘details, but we had a most pleas- ant time, and the lady members of the party deserve great credit for the great abundance and excellent quality of lunch they provided for the outing. All did ample justice to the same, and all agree that the M. E. parson and the editor are evenly matched when it comes to eating spring chickens. A trip to Dan’s Rock is worth $50 to any person. ee CUTS, BRUISES AND BURNS Linna Perry and Cora Keim, and Rev A. | A dog, presumed to have been suf- fering from rabies, attacked five people | yesterday noon near the residence of “Milt” Knepper, a short distance south of town, biting all of them in the hands and arms. Three children, ranging 6 to 12 years of age, son and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jones, were engaged in driving Cyrus Shaulis’s cow from a pasture field, when the brute pounced upon them, biting all in turn. Peter Mognet, who witnessed the at- tack, ran tothe aid of the youngsters, when the dog turned on him and sunk his fangs in his arm. A lad named Glessner was also bitten by the dog. Milton Knepper, whose home is close by, heard - the screams of the little ones, and grabbing his gun ran after the dog and fired a load of shot into him. The brute, frothing at the mouth, kept on running until laid low by a bullet fired by IHoward Glessner. The owner of the dog is unknown. Much uneasiness for the safety of those bitten will be felt for a few days. —Somerset Herald. a QUICKLY HEALED.
