“And tear myself from you.”

“Say good morning, then. Skidoo!”

Wm. R. Haselbarth’s furniture sale
was pretty well attended, Tuesday, but

all of Mrs. Compton’s brothers and
sisters, the children of the late John
Stotler. Most of the wives, husbands
and children of the Stotler family were

was not the least portion of the enjoy-
ment.
There is a dispute over the origin and
destiny of two kegs of beer that arriv-
ed here one day early this week. One
man says one keg was Lowndes, one
Pearre. Each, however, fell into the
other hands. Of 23 men in one case, 4
had to go and see a doctor, and of 32 in
.the other, the doctor had to go and see
5. It is very clear that what is one
man’s nectar is another man’s naphtha.’

He was aged about 50 years, and is

Confluence, Tuesday afternoon, and

tives of the deceased who reside in this

Harry Bepler was visited by his
mother, several days during the past
week. Mrs. Bepler resides in Alle-
gheny, Pa. The editor was much pleas-
ed to meet and have a talk with Mrs.
Bepler concerning the good old days of
bygone years, when the parents of both
resided in Grantsville, Md., and were
next-door neighbors. Mrs. Bepler was
formerly Miss Lydia Chapman, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chap-
man, now deceased, but who resided in
Grantsville for many years.

An editor who attended church once
has the following to say: “The ser-
mon was a very good sermon, as ser-
mons go. We enjoyed the singing and
stood up with the brethren and sisters
while they sang the good old hymn,
‘shall We Know Each Other There’
While the hymn was being sung, we
looked about us and counted a dozen
members of the congregation and of
the church who do not speak to each
other when they meet on the street, or
elsewhere. The thought occurred to
us, why should they know each other
there when they seemingly do not
know each other here.”
Mrs. E. E. Shaffer and a friend of
her’s, Mrs. Meyers, both of Pittsburg,
arrived in Salisbury last week for a
visit with friends. The two ladies were
both welcome callers at THE STAR of-
fice, Tuesday morning, and Mrs. Shaffer
added her name to THE STAR'S sub-
scription list. Mrs. Shaffer is the
youngest daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur McKinley, and some 20
years ago resided here with her first
husband, Elijah Fuller, deceased. She
is one of the editor’s old schoolmates,
and we know that her husband will not
feel offended when we say that she is
getting better looking as she grows
older.
That snakes are capable of continued
existence without food has been clear-
ly demonstrated by Emil Meurer, of
South Franklin street, a snake fancier
of more than local reputation. He has
a black snapper rattlesnake bearing a
dozen rattles, that has been in captivity
367 days. In that time it has never
tasted food. He drinks plenty of wa-
ter, but his appetite is apparently an
unknown quantity. Food is frequent-
ly placed before him, but he disdains
all such delicacies as frogs. mice and
meat. A few days ago he gave evidence
of his perfect health by shedding his
skin, and how is a handsome specimen
of his kind.—Titusville Herald.
Sh-h-h? The bass season opened
Friday. To practically every man
there comes a time when he feels that
he must go fishing. It may come toa
woman, too, but her horror of angle-
worms and her inability to bait a hook
have impelled her to keep her yearn-
ings sub rosa. These moments come
often to some men. They used to steal
upon President Cleveland, and under
their spell he would drop the rod of
empire and seize the jointed one of
bamboo. Problems of state were for-
gotten while Grover fished, and a na-
tion searched the morning papers to
learn what his luck had been the day
before. The bass season extends from
June 15 to January 1. Six days a
week, and there are hints of Sunday
editions. Lewistown disciples of Izaak
Walton will be found at the end of a
fish pole, waiting for that electrifying
tug at the bait.—Lewistown Gazette.
AN ALARMING SITUATION
frequently results from neglect of clog-
ged bowels and torpid liver, until con-
stipation becomes chronic. This con-
dition is unknown to those who use Dr.
King’s New Life Pills; the best and
gentlest regulators of Stomach and
Bowels. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller,
druggist. Price 25c. 7-1
Interesting West Virginia Letter.
In remitting for Tue Star under date
of June 16th, our friend Geo. 8S. Bouch-
er, who is now located at Boyer, W.’
Va., writes as follows:
“This finds us comfortably located,
and enjoying the pure air of Pocahon-
tas county, West Virginia. This is
certainly the place for those who wish
to follow the lumber business. The
town of Boyer is forty-eight miles be-
low Elkins, on the Greenbrier river.
This forty-eight miles has a sawmill
for every mile. A great many of these
are strictly up-to-date Band mills.
One double Band mill just below. us
made a cut of 212,000 feet in eleven
hours, a speed which only those inter-
ested in sawmills can appreciate.
Three-fourths of these operations are
owned by Pennsylvania lumbermen.
This country is just being opened up,
the Greenbrier division of the C.& O.
having been completed just four years.
We are deprived of a great many of
the luxuries we used to enjoy in Som-
erset county, yet the buzz of the saw
has a particular attraction for us.
There are abundance of fish in the
streams, and plenty of game in the
woods, which furnish plenty of sport
for those who enjoy it.”
DEATH FROM LOCKJAW
never follows an injury dressed with
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. Its antiseptic
and healing properties prevent klood
poisoning. Chas. Oswald, merchant, of
Rensselaersgville, N. Y., writes: “It
cured Seth Burch, of this place, of the
ugliest sore on his neck I ever saw.’

clothes of proper style. A cour-
teous manner and a good im-

ward success. You may be suc-

a poor appearance, but your
chances are better the other way.
