The blackberry crop was probably never before so large in this vicinity as this year. They are selling as low as 20 cents per gallon, and thousands of bushels of the very finest of berries will go to waste on the logged-off lands of Pine, Meadow and Tub Mill runs, for want of pickers. Fred Otto’s little daughter, aged several weeks, died at the home of its uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Newman, last Friday. The mother of the child died the week before, at her home in New Germany, Md. The fu- neral of the babe took place Saturday morning, Rev. H. 8. May officiating. Mr. R. S. Garrett, superintendent of the Merchants Coal Company, went to Saratoga, N. Y., last week, for his an- nual vacation. Mr. Garrett spent his vacation in the Adirondacks, last year, and came home greatly benefited in heaith. THE Star hopes he will reap fully as much benefit this year as last. The potato crop in this vicinity will be very light, this year, owing to rot. Many patches will not be worth the digging. The editor has a patch that promised to yield over a hundred bushels, a few weeks ago, but it is doubtful whether there are now five bushels of sound potatoes in the entire patch. Mrs. E. E. Shaffer, formerly Mrs. Hart Fuller, is here from Pittsburg with some little tots from the Smoky City, and all are enjoying our pure mountain air.

In writing of a cyclone out west, one of them said it turned a well inside out, a cellar upside down, moved a township line, blew the staves out of a beer barrel, leaving nothing but a bung hole, changed the day of the week, blew a mortgage off a farm, blew all the cracks out of a fence, and knocked the wind out of a politician. Herbert Engle, who had been em- ployed to teach one of our borough schools, has resigned the position and accepted the management of the West Salisbury Feed Company’s large store, The former manager, Daniel Livengood, resigned some days ago. We wish “Bert” success in his new position. Miss Margaret Glotfelty has been hired to teach the school that Mr. Engle was to preside over. No one would buy a sailboat with sails that could not be reefed. There is always that possibility of a little too much wind that makes a cautious man afraid to go unprovided. The thinking man, whose stomach sometimes goes back on him, provides for his stomach by keeping a bottle of Kodol For Dys- pepsia within reach. Xodol digests what you eat and restores the stomach. Seld by E. H. Miller. 9-1 Our home traction engine works yesterday turned out the biggest engine the company ever built. It is s 35- horse power machine, with drive wheels about 76 inches high. It has a cab al- most like a railroad locomotive, and the monster engine is indeed a beauty. It will be exhibited at the Williams Grove fair, in Eastern Pennsylvania, and it cannot help Lat spread the fame of the splendid engines made here. Katadids and crickets are now hold- ing nightly concerts, which reminds us that the good old summertime is rapid- ly drawing to a close.

One construction concern in that city has contracted for one thousand barrels a day, during the month of August. It is expected that later in the year, the same party will use ten thousand barrels, or about seventy carloads each day, and to be used in the construction of $5,000,000 worth of buildings. Druggist Miller and wife went away last week for a vacation of about two weeks. They are making a tour of some of the great lakes and famous re- sorts of the lake region. They could not have selected a more pleasant trip than a tour of the great lakes, and they could not have left a more accommo- dating pair of young men in charge of their drug store than V. L. Blocher and Wm. McClure, who are conducting the place with credit to themselves and great satisfaction to the customers. William Fouse, of Drab, Blair county, is 81 years old and never wore stock- ings until three years ago. He has never in his life worn underclothing, gloves or mittens, never used tobacco in any form, and was never sick an hour until his 80th year, when hejhad a slight attack of grippe from which he soon recovered. Last fall he ploughed 40 acres, harrowed it three times and drilled it in wheat, husked 1,000 and hauled in 2,000 bushels of corn without any assistance whatever.—Ebensburg Mountaineer.

The team is composed of a horse and a Holstein bull. The bull is harnessed and driven with bit and reins exactly like his work-fellow, the horse. With this team Mr. Campbell does most of his plowing and hauling on the farm. The work keeps the bull good-natured and gentle, and his subdued manner is in strong contrast with that of animals of his kind that become ill-tempered and cross through idleness.—Butler Record. 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.

Some of his friends suspect that he met with foul play and was placed on the rail- road for a train to run over, and thus conceal the crime; but the suspicions do not seem to be well founded. The deceased was a brother of Henry and John Mull, of Coal Run. Mr. James P. Murphy, of this place, and Miss Annie McDonald, of Coal Run, Pa., were married at the Catholic church, West Salisbury, Pa.. last Sun- day, Rev. Father McDonald perform- ing the ceremony. After the wedding the happy couple went to Altoona, Pa., where Mr. Murphy was due as a dele- gate to the State convention of the Or- ‘He: der of Hibernians. They were accom- panied to Altoona by the groom’s brother Frank and wife. The newly wedded couple have many friends, and THE STAR joins them in extending best wishes and congratulations. The groom is a son of Mr. Nicholas Murphy, and is engaged in the restaurant and grocery business in this town. The bride is a daughter of Mr. John McDonald, of Coal Run. “Jack” Fallon, who recently com- pleted an 8-year sentence in the Mary- land penitentiary, arrived here a week or more ago. He called at THE STAR office last week, renewed his subserip- tion to the great paper and told what a comfort the weekly visits of the “Twinkler” were to him while he was in prison. He declares that he is in- nocent of the crime for which he was imprisoned, and there are good reasons to believe that he tells the truth. He admits, however, that he was wayward and got into much trouble through drink, and he says he has quit intoxi- cants forever. May God give him strength to live up to his good resolu- tions, and may his fellow men give him a helping hand, instead of trying to crush him down, as is tob often the case in their dealings with weak hu- manity. Once upon a time a man went down to his front gate one morning and stop- ped the milkman. “Say,” he called, “I want you to leave milk here after this. How much is it a. quart?” “Five cents,” responded the milkman. “Well, here is thirty-five cents. That will pay for a week.” And that worthy citizen went in to his breakfast. For all that week the milkman faithfully left the milk on the door step each morning, and after the week was up he continued to leave it, and the citizen continued to take it inside every morning and use it. Things went on this way for a year, and finally the milkman presented a bill for milk for fifty-one weeks. “But I only ordered milk of you for one week. You should have stopped when the time was up,” said the citizen. “Have you not received the milk each morning, and used it?” asked the milk- man. “Yes, but I thought you was giving it to me,” asid the citizen. *“You’r a blamed fool, or else you are a terrible liar,” repliel the quick-tem- pered milkman, “and if you don’t pay for that milk I will have the law on you.” The man paid up. Should you ask us the name of this protesting eciti- zen, we can only tell you that it is the same man that took the local paper for seven years, and then refused to pay for it, because he had only paid for a year when he subscribed, and claimed he thought that the publisher was giv- ing it to him.—Berlin Record. The editor and wife had a most pleasant time at Atlantic City and Philadelphia, last week, returning home last Sunday, greatly benefited in health and feeling about ten years younger. The ocean bathing was fine, and the sojourn at the seashore was enjoyed to the fullest neasure. Among other things we enjoyed in Atlantic City was a very nice visit with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wiggins, who are acquaint- ances and warm personal friends of brother W. 8. Livengood. They are Los Angeles people, and are in charge of a very fine exhibit of California fruits and other products at Atlantic City. They had charge of the Cali- fornia exhibits at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo, and at the World’s Fair at St. Louis. They un- derstand their business, and they know how to make people feel at home. We were indeed very glad to make their acquaintance. In Philadelphia we had the pleasure of a very nice visit with Mrs. Evora Carr Smith and her daugh- ters Zuleka and Dorothy. They are living very nicely in the Quaker City, and the many courtesies they extended to us will never be forgotten. Mrs. Smith’s only son, Ralph, whom many of our readers will remember as having been educated in navigation, some years ago, on the school ship Saratoga, is now holding a fine position as quarter master on board the Philadelphia, a large ocean steamer that plys between this country and South Americag Ralph has been practically all over the world since leaving old Salisbury, and several times he has been shipwrecked. On one occasion he and two others were all of the ship’s crew that escaped a watery grave. you | best rona OL office pant; cartr cents
