Long, of Hagerstown, Md., will preach in the German Baptist Brethren church, at 10:30 o’clock, Sunday morn- ing, also at 8 o'clock on Sunday and Monday evenings. Everybody is cor- dially invited to attend these services. Mrs. John M. Angle, of near Lanark, 111, recently tried to make a real angel of herself by taking laudanum with suicidal intent. Why should she re- sort to laudanum when she can make a real angel of herself by merely trans- posing the last two letters of her name? Twenty-three veterans of the Civil War are in the United States Senate, of whom thirteen were Confederates. In the lower House are thirty-two who served in the Union army, and twelve were Confederates. The total of sixty- seven Civil War soldiers in Congress forty-one years after the war, is a strik- ing fact. As a desirable residence section of our town, Beachy addition No. 2 is rapidly getting to the front. Some very pretty homes have been built there, and sidewalks are being extend- ed right along. We own one of the most desirable corner lots in that part of the town, and it can be bought at a reasonable price. Mrs. S. A. Kammamery and daughter, of Philadelphia, arrived in town last Saturday for a week’s visit with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Balliet. Mrs. Kam- mamery is a sister of Mrs. Balliet. From here the visitors will go to Bed- ford Springs, Pa., at which famous re- sort they will spend some time before returning to the city. Mrs. J. T. Smearman went to Wind- ber, last Saturday, to visit her husband, who is a guard in the employ of the Berwind-White Coal Company. Mr. and Mrs. Smearman both returned home in haste, Monday, owing to the serious illness of one of their children. We are glad to report, however, that the child’s condition is improving. The old time method of purging the system with Cathartics that tear, gripe, grind and break down the walls of the stomach and intestines ‘is superseded by Dade’s Little Liver Pills. They cleans the liver, and instead of weaken- ing, build up and strengthen the whole system. Relieve headache, biliousness, constipation, etc. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 9-1 Our friend Sam McClure arrived home from Buffalo, N. Y,, day, to spend his summer vacation. Sam seems to be well satisfied with the way we managed this town during his absence, but says whenever his services may be needed in settling any great diplomatic questions pertaining to this city or the nation, all we need to do is to summon him home. Adam Wedel, a farmer, while hurnt- ing ginseng in the mountain near Cleversburg, Cumberland county, re- cently found a barrel containing apple- jack. The liquor was a deep amber in color, and of such strength that a medium sized drink was enough to put an able-bodied man to sleep. It is thought it was buried during the sum- mer of 1863, when Lee’s army invaded Pennsylvania, says an exchange. Every form of distressing ailment known as Piles originates internally. The real causes of the trouble is in side. ManZan is put up in collapsible tubes with nozzle, so the medicine can be applied where it will do the most good, and do it quickly. If you are suffering with piles you owe yourself the duty of trying ManZan. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 9-1 E. H. Lambert and his brother-in- law, Jeremiah Matheny, returned from Fayette county, Pa., last Thursday evening, where they had been visiting friends for a week, trying their luck at trout fishing, and, incidentally, samp- ling some of the superb mountain dew made in the Laurel Hill region. They made some fine catches of trout and report a most excellent time. Mr. Ma- theny returned to his home in Wood county, W. Va., last Saturday morning. Tommy was absent from school the entire day. But he brought a note of excuse the next morning which proved that he had been detained at home legitimately. The writing was hardly that of a feminine hand. and the note appeared to have been written labor- iously. Furthermore, the penmanship seemed strangely familiar to his teach- er. The note read as follows: ‘Dear teacher, please excuse Tommy for not comeing to school yestiday, he coud’nt come. 1 tore my pants. Yours trualy, Mrs. Mulligan.” J. J. Hoblitzell & Sons sold their large general store in Hyndman to W. E, Slaugenhaupt, of Pittsburg, who took immediate charge and opened up on Saturday morning a cash store.” The branch store at Williams was purchas- ed by our townsman Henry W. Ware, who also took charge at that place, and will conduct the same for himself here- after. J. J. Hoblitzell & Sons have conducted a general store here for 25 years or more, the one at Williams for a shorter period, and also at one time conducted a store at Keystone Junction, Pa.—Hyndman Bulletin.

Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 9-1 last Satur-/ Chas. F. Cochrane attended a ban- quet given to J. C. Brydon, at the Highland Inn, Somerset, Pa., last Sat- urday evening. The banquet was par- ticipated in by a large number of per- sons employed in the office and operat- ing departments of the various coal companies of this county. Mr. Brydon was the well-known general superin- tendent of the Somerset Coal Company, but recently resigned to accept the general managership of the Davis Coal and Coke Company. The banquet was a farewell blowout in his honor, and was a very fine affair. A hundred years ago the best phy- sician would give you a medicine for your heart without stopping to consider what effect it might have on the liver. Even to this good day cough and cold medicines invariably bind the bowels. This is wrong. Bee’s Laxative Cough Syrup with Honey and Tar acts on the bowels—drives out the cold—clears the head, relieves all coughs, cleanses and strengthens the mucous membranes of the throat, chest, lungs and bronchial tubes. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 9-1 If you know of an item or a piece of news, tell us about it. That’s what we want. But a newspaper man some- times experiences more difficulty in agine. This was the case when a re- porter in a neighboring town, a short time ago, was sent to write up a fire in a residence. Going to the door he in- quired for the lady of the house. The maid said she was out. “Are any of the family at home?” inquired the scribe. “No, they are all out,” was the reply. “Well, wasn’t there a fire here last evening?” “Yes,” said the hired girl, “but that’s out, too.” J.D. Northrup, of Charleston, W. Va., who is connected with the West Virginia Central Gas Company, grant- ed a franchise to distribute natural gas in Cumberland, Piedmont, Keyser and the towns of the Georges Creek Valley, is in the city. He says the work of laying pipes will begin in two weeks, and will be completed by early winter, when gas will be pumped into Cum- berland. The work will be on two di- visions, one at the Hendricks end, and the other at the Cumberland end, and there will be about 400 men and 100 teams on each division The line will be a twelve-inch one, and the distance to be laid is 69 miles, making the line 120 miles long.—Cumberland Daily News. The first steel passenger coach to be built by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was turned out of the Altoona shops, recently. It was given a trial run to Huntingdon in a special train, and high officials of the company road in it. They were very well pleased. The new car does not differ materially from the old ones, except in the ma- terial used in construction. It is vesti- buled, has eighteen windows to a side, and is handsomely finished inside. It is painted the standard colors of the road. The coach will be given a thor- ough test on all the Pennsylvanialines, and if it succeeds in standing in com- parison with the wooden coaches, will be pet in general use all over the sys- tem. That even the best of physicians sometimes make a mistake in their diagnosis of cases is shown by the ex- perience of a man living near Frank- lin. While calling upon a neighbor he was induced to take a bite of honey that had been taken from a hollow tree only a short time before. Suddenly the guest was seized with a pain in his mouth, and in a short time the mouth swelled to such an extent that he was unable to talk. A Franklin physician who was sent for pronounced the man’s affliction a case of New England mumps, and began to apply remedies. The patient at once rebelled, and by pantomine indicated that he wanted a pencil and paper. Believing that he wished to make his will, his tearful wife placed the articles on the stand beside him. Seizing the pen, the suf- fering man wrote: “You fools, I was stung by a bee while eating the honey. Get a move on and pull out the sting- er.” This was done, and, although an attempt was made to keep the matter quiet, it leaked out.—VenangogCitizen=- Press. Marriage Licenses. Ray Lytle, Confluence.

A watchman’s neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which 8. child’s finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devastating an entire province of Holland. In like manner Kenneth McIver, of Vanceboro, Me., permitted a little cold to go un- noticed until a tragic finish was only averted by Dr. King’s New Discovery. He writes: “Three doctors gave me up to die of lung inflammation, caused by a neglected cold; but Dr. King’s New Discovery saved my life.” Guar- anteed best cough and cold cure, at E. H.
