A Virginia pastor has been suspend- ed for kissing a pretty girl of his church. Preachers ought to kiss the homely girls, as they are the ones who need comfort. The laymen will kiss the pretty girls enough, says an ex- change. Wm. Wagner, Sr., moved into the new house, this week, that he erected on his farm about 14 miles west of Salisbury. He has a very comfortable home now, and we trust that he and his family may be spared to enjoy it for many years. Howard Yaist goes to Ellerslie, Md, this week, where he will take charge of and conduct a hotel. The hotel had been rented by Walter Williams, but being unable to secure the necessary female help to conduct it he had to abandon the project. The West Salisbury Feed Co. has added another handsome delivery wagon to the splendid equipment of that hustling firm. The new wagon is a covered one, and Manager Daniel Livengood says they can keep two de- livery wagons running pretty steady. Mrs. Johnson, on Oak street, made grape butter, this week. She had a half bushel of grapes and put in a nice lot of salt for sugar. Now she wonders what’s the matter with that ’ere grape butter, but there is nothing the mat- ter. It will keep all winter.—Cumber- land Courier. Everybody should attend Miss Della Brown’s piano recital in the Reformed church tonight. The musical treat will 1 be worth many times the price, and home talent should always be sub- stantially encouraged, especially when it is musical ability such as Miss Brown possesses. John Tedrow captured the father and king of all the ’possums, yesterday morning, in the woods south of town. He tipped the beam at 8 pounds and six ounces, and was caught by John’s dog while his ’possumship was busy tearing up the snow and leaves in search of chestnuts.

He can eat anything he he pleases and feels good on it, the climate is mild and agreeable, and the roses about to bloom. We trust that he will continue to improve and return home well and hearty. All the machinery for the vp house of the electric light plant is now here, and it will be but a very short time until the plant is ready for opera- tion. The !greatest drawback now is the wiring of houses. Not enough men are here to have the wiring of builde ings completed by the time the ma- chinery is ready for operation.

It will last from one to ten o'clock p. m. There will be lots of big bargains for everybody. Goods are not allowed to become old at that hustling store. The auction idea is a good one, and most stores would profit greatly by having auctions frequently. Mr. Israel Welfley celebrated his ninety-fourth birthday, on Saturday, the 9th inst. Mr. Welfley is a remark- ably well preserved gentleman. His many friends congratulate him and wish him well, says the Confluence News. Israle Welfley is a brother of the late Senator B. Welfley, who died in Frostburg, Md., about two years ago. It is a sin to suffer with backache and pains over the Kidneys, when a single dose of Pineules will give re- lief in one night.

Stotler had to shoot a good horse belonging to him, Tuesday. The animal had lockjaw, which was brought about by being overdriven and other- wise cruelly treated by a brutal driver. The driver ought to be arrested, haul- ed up before court and given the maxi- mum penalty provided by law for such cases. The horse was worth about $150. Our home merchants have very hand- some displays of holiday goods, and Christmas shoppers surely have no oc- casion to go away from home to buy Few country towns, indeed, have stores to compare with the splendid stores of Salisbury, and as for big values ‘to purchasers, there isn’t a town within fifty miles where goods can be bought cheaper. 1llustrations sometimes get a man into a hole. A Baptist minister on one occasion used a walnut with the hull to show how much better Baptists are than Methodists. Hesaid the hull was like the Methodists, but the small ker- nel inside was like the Baptists, full of fatness and sweetness. Then he crack- ed it to show his hearers, and the in- side was rotten. A correspondent writes: “Most of the teachers in Shade township are closing their schools on account of the vaccination luw. Monday last Teacher D. L. Berkebile turned out every pupil. The citizens are much aggravated about the matter, and it is not known what the results will be, as many of them declare they will not get their children vaccinated.” A big nest of poker players was raid- ed last Saturday night. Some of the the gay gamesters promise faithfully that they will from this time forward abandon the gambling habit if they are not exposed and taken into court. They have been taken at their word, and mercy has been shown them; but if they are ever caught gambling again it will go rough with them. Now is the time to guard the health and strength of the lungs. The best remedy to use for coughs and colds is Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar. The only cough syrup that does not consti- pate the bowels, but which onthe other hand, expels all cold from the system by acting as a pleasant laxative. Best for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, ete. Sold by Elk Lick Phar- macy. 3-1 The town of Syracuse, Ohio, having 2000 inhabitants, will not allow a negro to remain there over night. It is an unwritten law of the town. When a colored person enters the town, the boys soon make the law known, and he or she takes the hint. The whole state of Oregon has a similar law. No “nigger in the woodpile” for Oregon. That may be the reason Oregon’s sena- tors are both facing the jail—no ne- groes to blame things on.—EXx. We acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Morenci (Mich,) Observer. It isa good newspaper, and we take pleasure in adding it to our exchange list.” The Observer is published and edited by A. G. Eisfeller and E. H. Ahrens. Under Mr. Eisfeller’s instruction THE STAR man learned the first rudiments of printing in the office of the Carleton (Neb.) Times, in 1888. We used to have lots of fun with *Isaac,” as we called him, and it’s many a time we bested him in a wrestling or boxing match, and it’s many a time we tore ‘his shirt and‘pants in wallowing him all over the floor in a rough and tumble tussle. Those were indeed merry old days. The Gieser Manufacturing Company, of Waynesboro. is the kind of an in- stitution that any town ought to be proud of. The annual meeting was held on Monday, and a dividend of ten per cent. was declared on the capital stock of one million dollars. A bonus of two per cent. was voted the employ- ees to be paid on Saturday, the 23rd. The bonus of two per cent on the capi- tal stock amounts to twenty thousand dollars, and goes to the nine hundred employees of the company—an average of over twenty dollars each—a nice little Christmas fund. The net earn- ings of the company for the past year were $193,994. After the dividend and bonus are deducted, the balance, over seventy thousand dollars, was added to the surplus fund of the company, which now amounts to over eight hun- dred thousand dollars. The company’s plant and assets are valued at about two and a half million dollars.—Milton Standard. Maryland’s History on Voting. 1878—Only land-owners allowed to vote. 1718—Roman Catholics and Quakers disfranchised. 1776—Tories disfranchised. 1876—Jews allowed to vote for the first time. 1856—Nnow Nothings drive foreign- ers from the polls, 1864—Southern sympathizers disfran- chised. 1875—Ballots burned in Baltimore.
