We are glad to see so many of our citizens using large quantities of fresh paint, this summer.

We hope next time more married men come in the band to Addison.” William Baumgardner, late of Salis- bury, was here several days during the past week, visiting friends.

The Turkeyfoot News. published at Confluence, objects to Tie Star refer- | ring to it as the “Confluence News.” | We can’t help it, brother, and we shall continue to refer to your publication asthe “Confluence News,” for the rea- son that the name *“Turkeyfoot News” is so hideously ugly that the mere sight or mention of the name causes us to swear at your judgement in select- ing it. “Confluence News” sounds much better, and as your paper is pub- lished in Confluence, we shall continue to use that name. Isn't it about time for our Town Council to act on .the dog problem? There are entirely too many worthless dogs in this town, and a remedy should be speedly put in force to get rid of them. Back at the North end of Grant street there is a dog factory that has Iately been running wide open, greatly annoying all the citizens, and almost killing the sick, who have been com- pelled to listen to the baying, barking and howling of about all the canines in town. A dog factory is a greater nui- sance than a rough saloon. In reply to the query, “What has be- come of the boy with patches?” the Centralia Courier says: ‘Why, bless your soul, he is out on the farm hop- ping clods 16 hours a day. He will come to town after while to run the banks and stores and be the successful lawyer and preacher and physician. Don’t worry about the boy in the patches. It’s the store-clothed, nicely groomed lad you want to inquire about. He’s the fellow that’s going to drop through a crack in the sidewalk, and out of sight, one of these day.” The fat drummer leaned over the hotel desk, and grabbing the first piece of paper he could lay hands on, began to figure up his expense account for the day, says an exchange. The slip happened to be a “call” blank, and he began penciling his figures in the 3:30 column. First he jotted down $1.50 for buggy hire, then 15 cents for stamps, 35 cents for car fare, $1.60 for express charges, 50 cents for trunk straps, sents for paper and a quarter for a messenger. Down at the bottom, as an afterthought, he put 40, and wrote “beer” afterit. Well, at half past 3 in the morning there was trouble, and plenty of it. The night clerk supposed, of course, that the calls had been left in the ordinary way, and while he was a little surprised that so many guests should want to get up at such an un- earthly hour. he told the boys to wake Nos. 150, 15, 36, 160, 110, 60, 5 and 25, and carry a quart of beer to No. 40, which happened to be occupied by a Methodist minister. ————— A BAD SCARE.

It was his first trip to Somerset in the last few years, and he was greatly as- tounded to find the old court house torn down and a new one being erected in its place. Although it is now nearly a year since the old structure was pull- ed down, Mr. Show knew nothing of the change until he appeared on the scene and saw it for himself, In ex- pressing his surprise, Mr. Show admit- ted that he takes no county paper, ad- 1ing that he has been reading only the Methodist Advocate and a temperance paper published in Uniontown. Ye gods, what an admission! Ye gods, what a Rip Van Winkle! Ts it possible that such fossils exist here 'mongst the hills o’ Somerset? The man who takes no county paper is al- ways many leagues behind the pro- cession of human advancement, and such fellows usually live in a most benighted atmosphere. Mister Show, you're far too slow, And it’s little that you know. It is a foolish caper To take no county paper, So, if you have got the dough, To a printing office go, And at once subscribe for one, You sleepy son-of-a-gun. ae CUBAN DIARRHOEA. U. 8. soldiers who served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, how- ever, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs, of Houston, Texas: “I hereby certify that Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors, but they did him no good. One bottle of this rem- edy cured him, as our neighbors will testify. I thank God for so valuable a truding piles.
