Three physicians failed to give me any relief and the last one said he could do me no good. 1 tried almost every medicine I heard tell of without benefit until FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR was recommended to me.

MILLER, ELK LICK, PENNA. a LY WOULDN'T THIS GRAB YOU? Here ig Richness! Here is Juieiness! Here is Fun for Everybody! The Kind of Boynton Statesmen They Employ to Teaeh Sehool in Elk Lick Township. Isn’t This One a Peach? When men become politicians or try to achieve fame or success in anything, it is but natural for the public press to note their doings and comment on the same as they see fit, no matter whether it is to criticise or to praise. Men who dabble in politics or anything else that attracts public attention, know and ex- pect that the newspapers will note their movements and comment on them according to the views of the editors. Men of brains and ability know that they cannot keep the newspapers from using their names and commenting on their actions, and most of them would not prohibit the editors from exereis- ing that right, even if they had the power to muzzle the press as tightly as they pleased. Therefore, every day we see men of no less prominence than President Roosevelt and others ecar- tooned, eriticised and roasted to a beautiful brown by the newspapers. brains and ability have no desire to curtail the liberties of a free press, or to try to prohibit the newspapers from using their names. But in ludicrous contrast with the wise course of sensible and brainy men, occasionally some insignificant upstart, man of straw, simple gosling or silly calf like Jim May, of Boynten, will feel greatly outraged and try to force an editor to keep his name out of public print. The silly tactics and insane v&- porings of such human microbes usually furnish lots of amusement for the gen- eral public, but it is seldom indeed that one of that class displays such deplor- able and laughable ignorance as Jim May has been exposing within the last few weeks, and that’s why we give his ease such prominent mention. Now, take off your hats, bite off a fresh chew of tobacco and listen to Jimmies tale of woe, as well as to our fatherly ad- vice and comment in the case. Several weeks ago THE STAR made mention of a so-called citizens’ union party, and in doing so we gave it as our opinion that a political organization championed by such statesmen as Ed- gar Showalter, Jim May, Charles Walk- er and a few Coal Run negroes that are just as ignorant, could not amount to much. We still hold the same opin- ion, and boldly and defiantly reiterate it. But our little editorial of several weeks ago would doubtless be forgot- ten by this time, had Jim May, thesilly jay, not made the fool blunder to write a letter to a Somerset notary publie, which letter is now in our possession, and whieh shows what an ignoramus a young man can be and still be able to xet employment at school-teaching in Elk Lick township. The letter is self- explanatory, and following we repro- duce it, without in any way changing the punctuation, capitalization or gen- eral composition. Read it, laugh and grow fat, but judge for yourself whether such a sickening simpleton, such a col- icky ealf, such a mulish microbe ir fit to teach school. If he is, then Tuk STAR takes to the woods, and May God save the commonwealth! THE FOOL LETTER. Boynton Pa Oct 18—04 To Notary Public Sir,—About three years ago, Liv- engood the editor of the Somerset county star was notified to not use our name in his paper He used my name, and in a slanderous manner last week Notify him to use our name no more and let me know if anything can be done with him. We had you to notify Livengood on the occasion of the court trial of Samuel May vs J. R. Joy Will enclose you a clipping from his paper Hoping for a prompt reply 1 am your truly James G. May, Boynton, Pa. Somerset Co. OUR COMMENT AND ADVICE. In writing that letter Jimjam Jimmie displayed a grade of ignorance that is truly appalling and disgusting in a school teacher. Why does he com- mand a notary public to notify us not to use his name? It is no more the province or duty of a notary public to give such notification than it is for such officer to notify the Almighty when a rain isneeded or to send the fool-killer to Boynton, where his ser- vices are badly needed at this time. It would have been just as appropriate for Jimjam Jimmie to call on the Czar of Russia, the Mikodo of Japan, the Sultan of Turkey, the road supervisor of his district or the man in the moon to do his bidding in this case, as to command & notary public to act. Be- sides making a fool and a dolt of him- golf, Jim didn’t even have sense enough to enclose a stamp for a reply, offer a fee or to write with pen and ink. Furthermore, you will notice in his letter that Jimjam Jimmie says he had notice served on Livengood about three years ago, by the notary public, not : use that sweet-scented, precious name of his. Is it possible that he has twice made such a blooming idiot of himself? If we had a 12-year-old boy that would be such an idiot as to go to a notary public on such a mission, for the very first offense we would sell .him ‘to the nearest butcher shop and request that he be converted into veal—mineed veal —at once. We have yet to receive the first no- And, as we have said before, men of spot tice from any offieer not to use Jim May's name, which shows that the no- tary public has ignored the idiotic re- quest. Jim’s letter was turned over to a man who makes a business of collect- ing and preserving ancient and modern relics of ignorance and illiteracy, and that’s how we happened to get posses- sion of it. We propose to have it fram- ed and prominently displayed in our den among other relics and curiosities. “Notify him to use our name no more.” Now, wouldn’t that grab you? As the negro said when he fell from a tenth story window and landed on his head, wouldn’t it jar you? Jimmie, if you are so particular about that name of yours, we would advise you to pay more attention to school matters and school books, and a good deal less to profanity, insulting remarks, foul talk and the cup that inebriates. Keep out of saloons and other places that school teachers are supposed and desired to steer clear of ; keep only good com- pany; be a gentleman at all times and in all places, and above all never make the fatal mistake to set up a howl if you occasionally see a bit of truth ina newspaper that hits you in a tender To top off his foolishness and extreme greenness, Jimmie sent his poor old mother over to Somerset to sue us. The mother went to Lawyer Fred Bie- secker, and while Fred isn’t a bit more eonscientious than a lawyer ought to be, he nevertheless had too much prin- ciple to filch money from a client who had absolutely no ease. He therefore just laughed up his sleeve and advised Mrs. May to go home and pay no at- tention to the bad Star man, but told her to be sure to tell all her boys to work for and vote the Citizens’ Uuion ticket. Of eourse Fred told his friends all about Mrs. May’s mission, and be- tween them they laughed long and loud. In that way Jimmie May’s fool tactics were noised all over town, and when we dropped into Somerset, last Friday evening, we found the whole town in a giggle. Even the kids on the street could be heard singing— “Jimmie May, Jimmie May, You're a jay, you're a jay, You're a jay,Jimmie May, Simple Jimmie.” And now we are requested to print Jimmie’s portrait in the paper. We have the portrait, but as we fear it would be taken for a mule, we will not give it space in our columns. Jimmie’s mother, instead of going after law, should have laid that callow youth across her knee and beat a tattoo on the seat of his pants with her slip- per or a barrel stave with a few nails init. That’s the best medicine for such silly goslings, and the want of it in some families is responsible for the downfall of many a young man that might otherwise have grown up to be a credit to himself and to his parents. How an ignoramus like Jim May ever managed to get a eirtificate to teach school is more than we can tell. If he does not want his certificate revoked and be fired bodily from the school room, he will act wisely to be very careful how he acts in the future. If any community in Somerset county needs teachers of high moral and intel- lectual attainments to preside over its schools, that community is Coal Run. With a puke like Jim May in charge of a school, what can be expeeted of the pupils? Jim would make a good cham- bermaid for a livery stable, but we fear he is not the proper person to educate and make good citizens of the boys and girls of Coal Run. The fact is, Jim M=zy has been as. goeiating with a lot of silly calves like himself, and together they have been discussing what they think ought to be law. They have kept up their idiotic babble so long that they have gotten it into their heads that what they say is law. But that is where they are mis- taken, and the sooner they get this pa- per into court, the sooner they will learn a useful and expensive lesson. They have a gang down at Boynton that ought to get down on their knees and thank God that the editor of this paper has not long ago enforced the law against them. They bave threat- ened to kill us, and some of them have done things that would put them se- curely behind the bars if we felt dis- posed to enforce the law. Further- more, they ought to thank us for a lot of things we didn’t print, instead of wanting to raise a row over a few things we have printed. We have no desire to make the gang suffer any more than is absolutely necessary, but we do not fear the whole dirty gang combined, and if any of them ever attempt to lay a hand on us, we know just what will happen them. We are fixed and licensed to take care of such cattle, and we believe we know our business. But as Jimmie doesn’t want his sweet-scented name used in this great family companion and truth dispenser, we'll ring of now and let the poor thing alone as long as it behaves itself as it should.
