“He has gone to a happier home.”
This was the conelusion of the obit-

for $10,000 for slander. She got all the
editor had—ten cents.

ideal one for a sale. Goods brought
fair sale prices, and so did the real es-

who had been down with diphtheria
for about two weeks, is able to be out
again. One of his children also had
diphtheria, but the child has also re-
covered. Neither of them had anti-
toxin administered, and we have been
taking notice that the diphtheria sub-
jects who refuse to be doped with anti-
toxin usually recover.

a sister of Mrs. W. N. Moser. Her
husband died a year or more ago, but
she is survived by several children.

indorse it. Children like it because
the taste is so pleasant. Contains
Honey and Tar. It is the Original Lax-
ative Cough Syrup and is unrivaled for
the relief of croup. Drives the cold

is a brother of James and Truman
Maust. ‘He went west some years ago,

Howard Peck has our thanks for an
invitation to make him a visit at his
picturesque mountain farm when the
trout season opens. Howard is a son
of Rev. Louis Peck, and like his father,
is a most whole-souled, kindly disposed
person. He orders THe STAR sent to

greatly since leaving his father’s roof
within the past year. Howard took
unto himself a wife within the past
year, and now he resides on the famous
old farm his grandfather, the late John
Peck, tilled with profit for many years.

a good digestant, thus giving the tired
stomach equally as much rest. Eat

On Tuesday evening, Jan. 15th, the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Diehl, of
West Salisbury, was the scene of a
merry gathering of young people, the
occasion being a birthday surprise for
Miss Maggie Diehl, who was 12 years
old on that date. Fifty-four young
folks participated in the happy event.
and Miss Diehl was the recipient of
many handsome and useful presents.
The evening was spent in general
merry-making, the playing of games,
partaking of refreshments, etc. All
had a good time, and the occasion will
long be remembered as one of the hap-
py incidents of life, by all who partici-
pated.

Where to Begin Paying.
An exchange says the way to make a
Happy New Year is to pay vour bills.
The suggestion is excellent. We might
add that the first man who should be
paid is ‘the publisher, especially the
publisher of the country newspaper.
While the prices of all his material
and of his labor have gone up with the
advancing values in other lines, his ad-
vertising and printing rates have not
advanced in proportion, and his sub-
scription rates have not advanced at
all. He never made a fortune out of
his business, and he is making no more,
and sometimes less today. He is
obliged to pay his labor every week
and his other bills every month. He
should not be obliged to wait longer
for his money.
Be just to him. No man does more
free and forceful work for the com-
munity, and none deserve more con-
sideration.—Connellsville Courier.
It’s a pleasure to tell our readers
about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop’s.
For years Dr. Shoop has fought against
the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other
unsafe ingredients commonly found in
Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems,
has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug
Law recently enacted, for he has work-
ed along similar lines many years. For
nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop’s Congh
Cure containers have had a warning
printed on them against Opium and
other narcotic poisons. He has thus
made it possible for mothers to protect
their children by simply insisting on
having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Sold

Dakota’s Big Farms.
An Englishman traveling over this
country said:
“I once heard a Dakotan talk about
the big farms they have out there.
“We have some sizable farms,” he
said, thoughtfully. “Yes, sir; pretty
sizable. I’ve seen a man on one of our
big farms start out in the spring and
plow a straight furrow till fall. Then
he turned around and harvested back.”
“Wonderful,” said I. :
“On our Dakota farms,” he went on,
“it’s the usual thing to send young mar-
ried couples out to milk the cows,
Their children bring home the milk.”
“Wonderful!” I repeated.
“Once,” he said, “1 saw a Dakota
farmer's family prostrated with grief.
The women were weeping, the dogs
were barking, the children were squall-
ing and the tears streamed down the
man’s face as he got into his 20-mule
team and drove off.”
“Where was he going?” said I.
“He was going half way across the
tarm to feed the pigs,” said the Da-
kotan.
“Did he ever get back?” I asked.
“It ain’t time for him yet,” was the
reply.
CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE.
“It is now eleven years since I had a
narrow escape from consumption,”
writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business
man of Kershaw, 8. C. “I had run
down in weight to 135 pounds, and
coughing was constant, both by day
and by night. Finally I began taking
Dr. King’s New Discovery, and contin-
ued this for about six months, when
my cough and lung trouble were en-
tirely gone and I was restored to my
pormal weight, 170 pounds.” Thou-
sands of persons are healed every year.
