We live side by side, our children attend the same school, and after the smoke of the battle has cleared away, we will still be friends and neighbors. At best, life is short, and we get out of it a full measure of sorrow. Let usin our lit- tle city live as one big, good-natured family. The tar that is contained in Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is harmless. It is not coal tar, but is obtained from the pine trees of our own native forests. Bee’s Laxative Honey and Tar is the best remedy for colds because it acts on the bowels—thus expelling all colds from the system. Bee’s is the original Laxative Honey and Tar, and is best for coughs,colds, croup, whooping cough, lung and bronchial affections.

By glancing over the list and compar- ing it with the Mercentile Appraise- ment list of 1898, we find that Somer- set county has today more than twice as many business firms as it had then. That fact alone gives one an idea of the great increase in population and business in this county during the past few years. A dose of Pine-ules at bed time will usually relieve backache, before morn- ing.

They bave many friends in Salisbury who will be interested in knowing that Mr. Fresh is the inventor of a street car brake that promises to put him on “Easy street,” and right here we want to say that good fortune couldn’t come to a more worthy man. Under date of April 27th, Mr. Fresh writes to the editor of this paper as follows: Dear Sir:—I have neglected from time to time to give you our new ad- dress for Tue Star. We have missed it very much since we have not been getting it, especially Mrs. Fresh, as she has always been very much interested in the Salisbury news. I will say in conclusion, that the brake business is coming along nicely and has the promise of being a very good and profitable business. We are building a plant with all individual motor drive machinery, and installing a direct connected engine and genera- tor, to furnish power and light for the plant. It will be a modern plant in every detail, and will have a large out- put for a small plant, which is economy of production. »> Whenever you get down in God’s country, drop in to see us, for we have a combination on our door that any friend can open. Yours very truly, Henry FRESH. FORTUNATE MISSOURIANS. “When I was a druggist, at Livonia, Mo., writes T. J.

There is to be a relocation of the line, 87 feet higher than the original location from a point below Frostburg to Cumberland.

Still further advices are to the effect that the new Pittsburg, Westmoreland & Somerset railroad belongs to the Wabash people, and that it will be ex- tended ‘from here to Meyersdale, where it will connect with the main line.— Somerset Democrat.
