Lichty will start for his home in Nebraska, this week, and he will re- turn feeling that the trip to his native heath has not been in vain. He had a pleasant visit with his many old-time friends in and about Salisbury and Meyersdale, and they all enjoyed the visit as much as Mr. Lichty did.” Be- sides, Mr. Lichty has succeeded in in- teresting many of our pecple in the Canadian lands he is agent for, and be- fore mahy months go by, a great deal of Somerset county capital will be in- vested in the fertile and fabulously productive soil of the province of Sas- katchawan, where one crop alone has been paying for farms as fine as the sun ever shone upon. We have many working people in and about Salisbury who have saved from one to three thousand dollars during the past few years, and they could make no better investment than to buy land in the lo- cality where Mr. Lichty is selling it, and where many of our acquaintances, some formerly from here, others from Kansas, Nebraska and Towa, have been buying and locating. All of them that we have spoken or writien to concern- ing their investments are well pleased, feeling that they have struck it rich, and urging their friends to invest also. while land can yet be had at such fig- ures as will enable purchasers to pay for fine farms with one crop. Mr. Lichty expects to come east again at a later date. INDIGESTION OVERCOME.

CASPER WAHL, The 01d Reliable Butcher. Death of Harvey Smith. Harvey W. M. Smith, was born in Salisbury, Somerset county, Pa., on the 9th day of November, 1855. Died at Crescent City, Illinois, on the 10th day of January, 1908, aged 50 years, 2 months and 2 days. He was connected with the church of his father and moth- er, the Evangelical, in his boyhood days, and remained a member of the church of his early choice until his death. During the past sixteen years he had his home with his sister and her hus- band, Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Bowlin, in the state of Illinois, and whilst with them, worshiped with the M. E. people, and contributed to the support of that church. His early life and the best part of his manhood were spent in his native town, and he was well known by all the people of Salisbury who resided here 17 years ago and earlier than that date. It may be truly said of Harvey Smith that he was an honest, upright Christian man. All the best years of his life were spent in caring for his father and mother, and providing for them in their old age, when misfortune had overtaken them. No higher trib- ute could be paid him than this, and now, on the same lot where sleeps the dust of mother and father, his dast also reposes, in the Salisbury I. O, O. F. cemetery. There survive him, of the immediate family, one brother, M. F. Smith, and two sisters, Mrs. Levi Lichliter and Mrs. A. M. Bowlin. Deceased was en- joying good health up to a very short time before his death, when he was stricken by paralysis and survived the stroke but a day or two, when a second stroke ended his life. MAY LIVE 100 YEARS. The chances for living a full century are excellent in the case of Mrs. Jen- nie Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., now 70 years old. She writes: ‘Electric Bitters cured me of Chronic Dyspepsia of 20 years standing, and made me feel as well and strong as a young girl.” Electric Bitters cure Stomach and Liver diseases, Blood disorders, General Debility and bodily weakness.

F. Perry, of Elk Lick, Somerset cousty, father of Chief Train Dispatcher F' aucis J. Per- ry of the Pennsylvania lipes, were laid to rest at Greenwood cemhetery.

Dr. Perry voluntagly retired from active ministerial Isbors after lacking but cne year of completing his fiftieth year. When asked why he had not continued io round out five full de- cades, he explained that there were so many younger men who would be capable of doing a greater work than ster, that h it would have been wrong for him to have con- tinued actively in church work. Bn Dr. Arthur Staples, president of Bealv- er college, and a close friend of Rey. Perry, was also an attendant at the funeral, as was Rev. S. A. Smith, of West Middlesex, and Rev. A. O.
