One of our exchanges is vigorously
opposed to women being required to
remove their hats in church, claiming
that it will necessitate the expense of
purchasing mirrors to enable the fair
creatures to put them on again.
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

for many years.

Brown possesses.

Mobile, Alabama, stating that he feels
much improved in health since arriv-

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

ings completed by the time the ma-
chinery is ready for operation.

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. Suffering women
should heed these warnings ere it is too
late. Female troubles may result.
Pineules will strengthen the Kidneys
and bladder, clense the blood and re-
lieve the aches and pains of Neuralgia
and Rheumatism. Sold by Elk Lick
Pharmacy. 31
C. W. 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.
