A farmer out in Garrett county, Md., was married the other night. “Do you,” said the preacher, “take this woman to be your wedded wife, to love and to cherish in sickness and-health, for bet- ter, for worse, for rich or for poor, un- til death does you part?’ There was an awkward pause. Then the bride- groom finally replied: “Them’s the calculations.” A Topeka man was complaining of rheumatism. “There's no excuse for you being afflicted,” said a friend. “I used to have rheumatism and when it would strike me I would go home and have my wife throw her arms around my neck and give me a message treat- ment. It helped me every time. You ought to try it.” “I will,” said the man: “when will I find your wife at home?” The most wonderful cure for piles is ManZan, put up in collapsable tubes with nozzle attached.

Other new fever cases reported since our last is- sue are as follows: Edward Loechel, C. B. Kidner, Chas. Crossen, M. J. Ward and a young son of Mrs. Ara- minta Lung.

Just as we go to press we learn of the death of Mr. Jacob Fresh, of New Germany, Md., who was a prominent citizen and an ex-county commissioner of Garrett county. The deceased was the father of Mr. Henry Fresh, a form- er citizen of Salisbury, who for several years was the chief clerk of the Elk Lick Supply Company. The funeral will take place on Saturday, we are in- formed. We have not learned the particulars of the death of Mr. Fresh. Jacob Glotfelty, of Greenville town- ship, called at THE Star office several days ago and said: “Put me on your Sand Patch list, as the Greenvillers are now on a rural free delivery mail route, which starts from Sand Patch.” We have done so, Jacob, and we congratu- late the farmers of Greenville on get- ting the R.F.

Newton Wagner sold his farm, known as the “Old Stutz- man Place.” to Chief of Pelice M. D. Thomas, for $1,100. Newton improved the place a great deal during his two years’ residence thereon, and now Mr. Thomas intends to make the old place blossom as the rose. It will make an ideal fruit, poultry and truck farm, and that is about what Mr. Thomas in- tends to use it for. Mr. Wagner will likely move back to town, and every- body will welcome him, for there are no better fellows than “Newt” Wagner. Strange stories get into the tele- graph ; so strange that we have decid- ed that the modern novel is fact, and the telegraph fiction. R. J. Bayer, of Rochester, N. Y., and Miss Jeannette Peltree, of Cleveland, met in the lobby of a Colorado Springs hotel. Each wanted a room, each had looked all over the town in vain, and this hotel had only one room vacant. So this man and woman got married so that they might have a place to sleep that night. And they had never met before ! Gulliver never met anything as strange in all his travels, says an exchange. The original is always the best—imi- tations are cheap. Bee’s Laxative Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup.

Livengood & Son have placed a new roof on their blacksmith shop, which is one of the old landmarks of the town. The carpenter work was done by Wm. C. Wagner and “Mistah Edgah Showaltah.” We are surprised at a good union man like *“Mistah Ed- gah” leaving his regular avocation, that of coal mining, and doing work that does not belong to his craft. When other people do the like of that, “Mistah Edgsh” calls it “scabbing.” But it makes a difference, you know, whose ox is gored, and it also makes a differ- ence when a man can’t loaf and live off of money paid to him by the union— money, which is earned at hard labor by miners in other regions. A business man who has the hiring of a great many workmen, says it is hard to get men to do what they are told to do without arguing the matter. “I learndd when a young man the les- son, and it has clung to me ever since,” he said. “In company with a number of boys I answered an advertisement for a boy. When I was shown into the presence of the man, he said that I would finda saw at.a certain place in the back shed, and that out in the barn lot was a new wagon. He told me to take the saw, and go out and saw the tongue of that wagon in half. I did so, and when I returned he said that he had told a dozen other boys to do that same thing, and all had argued the question with him. He wanted a boy who would do what he was told to do.” —Johnstown Tribune. All old-time cough syrups were de- signed to treat throat, lung and bron- chial affections without;due regard for the stomach and bowels, hence most of them produce constipation.

They left here on Tuesday morning for Con- pellsville, Pa.. to spend a few days with their son-in-law and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Schell, before going to Kans- as. Some time ago Mr. Smith was elected cashier of the First National Bank of Boswell, Pa., but he resigned the position shortly after entering upon his duties at that institution. He no doubt had his present position in view at the time, and as the greater portion of his life has been spent in a general store, it is but natural for him to pre- fer merchandising to anything else. He is a good salesman and a good citi- zen, and the people of Salisbury regret to ~ee him leave our community, but all unite in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Smith prosperity and happiness wher- ever they go. * Last Sunday the editor took his lit- tle daughter, Minnie, back to the Edge- wood Park school for the deaf, which splendid institution is located in a beautiful suburb of Pittsburg. He was accompanied by W. B. Stevanus, and after leaving the institution, both took a street car for Braddock, for the pur- pose of making a short visit with S. S. Koontz and family, who moved] from Salisbury to Braddock about five years ago. The Koontz family is getting along nicely at Braddock, and all of them are well pleased with their change of location. Mr. Koontz is conducting a wagon-maker’s shop owned by a widow, and he has a good, steady job at fair wages. His two sons are barbers, and recently started to run a shop of their own. They are do- ing a nice business. M.C.Kann,a son- in-law of Mr. Koontz, also resides in Braddock, having moved thererecently from Garrett. He has lots of work at his trade (carpentering) and works Sundays and all, owing to the great building activity and demand for car- penters in and about that town. Last Sunday some of Mr. and Mrs. Kann’s children were in bed, very sick, on ac- count of the damnable vaccination crime they had to submit to or be kept out of school. etl E@ OUR GREATEST BARGAIN! —We will send you this paper and the Philadelphia Daily North American, both papers for a whole year, for only $3.75.
