Hold fast as long as you can, and if

Youxe men, the first question your
employers ask themselves when busi-
ness becomes slack and it is thought
necessary to economize in the matter
of salaries. is, “Who can best be
spared?” The barnacles, the shirks,
the makeshifts, somebody’s proteges,
somebody’s nephews, and especially
somebody’s good-for-nothing young
men, please remember that these are
not the ones who are called for when
responsible positions are to be filled.
Would you like to guage your own
future for a position of prominence?
Would you like to know the probabili-
ties of your getting such a position?
Inquire within! What are you doing
to make yourself valuable in the
position you now occupy? If you are
doing with your might what your
hands find to do, the chances are two
to one that you soon. become so valu-
able in that position that you cannot
be spared from it, and then, singular to
relate, will be the very time when you
will be sought out for promotion for a
better place.
’
Ir is more pleasant to be invited to
take a higher seat than to be deprived
of it. It is more pleasant to be king of
a cottage than a servant of a palace.
It is better to be a good five-cent piece
than a bogus quarter; in other words,
it is better to hold ourselves at what
we are honestly worth. The world is
full of people who never know or learn
anything, because they think they
know enough to begin with. Thou-
sands are teaching when they ought to
be taught; thousands believe them-
selves wise when their ignorance is
lamentable ; thousands believe them-
selves clothed in gold when they are
only thinly plated, and the eopper
shows through in many places. The
wisest are comparatively ignorant, and
thousands of men who have grand ideas
of their own abilities will some day
wake up to the realization that they
have been laboring under a large sized
delusion. Many a young man’s life is
gilded by bright dreams that come in
the early stage of the game, but later
he finds that these dreams are. only
1 empty, and O, how bitter is the change
when it comes!
SENSATION AT BERLIN.
Honors and Trouble Thrust on Ex-
Editor Marshall at the Same
Time.
Last Thursday President Roosevelt
sent the name of W. V. Marshall, who
has been recommended for postmaster
of Berlin, to the U. 8. Senate for con-
firmation. About the same time Mr.
Marshall was arrested on a charge of
furnishing liquor on election day for
the purpose of influencing voters, on
information of Wm. Powell. Mr. Mar-
shall was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Schrock, but promptly gave bail in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at court.
Marshall was for many years the ed-
itor of the Berlin Record, and as he is
a man who has always stood well in
Berlin, his arrest has caused a great
sensation. It seems to be the general
opinion among unprejudiced people,
that spite work and jealousy are at the
bottom of Mr. Marshall’s arrest, and
the ex-editor’s friends are of the
opinion that the prosecutor will fail in
proving his charge. They declare that
the arrest is nothing short of the
meanest brand of persecution, but as to
the real facts in the matter we are not
in a position to pass judgment, hence
we’ll wait and see. what the outcome
will be.
RISING FROM THE GRAVE.
A prominent manufacturer, Wm. A.
Fertwell, of Lucama, N. C., relates a
most remarkable experience. Hesays:
“After taking less than three bottles of
Electric Bitters, I feel like one rising
from the grave. My trouble is Bright's
disease, in the Diabetes stage. I fully
believe Electric Bitters will cure me
permanently, for it has already stopped
the liver and bladder complications
which have troubled me for years.”

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
No reward comes to him who robs
himself of what he needs to sustain
life and health, or what is needed to
care for his own, merely to give to
those who ask. No man has a right to
give what is not fully his own; no
right to give away any time that which
belongs to another, to create poverty
in order to relieve poverty ; to lose the
respect of his home ones, or to do what
will weaken their faith in him as a pro-
vider and a protector.
Man’s first duty is to his family, and
he discharges the duty when he is true
to the family that is the restlt of his
making and begetting. Men err by
withholding when they have means to
spare as well as not, and they err by
giving heedlessly to the endless asking
of those whose great aim in life is to
attach themselves to those inclind to
charity. Help those who are in sick-
ness, in trouble and distress, if you can
do so without robbing your creditors,
yourself or your family. Be just, and
then be generous. To give wisely is an
art, to give well is to give successfully.
To provide employment is even hu-
mane and wise, but you should .give it
or find it to those who try to deserve
such assistance, not to those who are
lazy, dirty, shiftless, careless and in-
different to your success. Let those
who will not try to come up just a lit-
tle higher, with your help, remain
where they are.
No man has a right to walk deliber-
ately into poverty in order to prove his
manhood a disposition to humanity.
This is not the way to help mankind,
or to serve your country. When a man
is stricken down, then help him if you
can, but do not encourage him to fall
again and to keep on falling simply to
be helped. Do not be a miser, nor yet
a spendthrift. Do not be selfish, but
be careful to preserve your own health,
means and ability to help those who
are willing to help themselves.
A VALUABLE LESSON.
“Six years ago I learned a valuable
lesson,” writes John Pleasant, of Mag-
nolia, Ind. “I then began taking Dr.
King’s New Life Pills,and the longer I
take them the better I find them.”
They please everybody. Guaranteed

LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox has faithfully
expressed as common truth in a little
poem entitled “Companionship,” com-
mencing:
“Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
‘Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has troubles enough of its own.
“Sing'and the hills will answer;
Sigh, and it is lost in the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.”
One of the first and hardest lessons
which the novice has to learn upon
entering the great busy world of toil
and tumultis that the rushing, strug-
gling; striving public has no interest in
the grief of any individual. It is too
fully occupied with its own advance-
ment to spend a thought or a care on
what does not concern or effect its wel-
fare. >
When we come to investigate we will
find that trouble is universal, and is
more equally meted out than we sup-
pose. It comes to us all in one form or
another, sometimes in disguise, but it
is the same ugly spectre when the
mask is thrown aside. Every heart has
its own burden which wealth cannot
lighten, nor honor alleviate. It. may
be in the hidden depths, unseen by hu-
man eyes, but it is there nevertheless,
and will be until the spirit throws off
this “mortal evil” and leaves it behind
with its earthy tenement. The only
difference is that one has the moral
courage to meet or overcome, or else
submit bravely to the inevitable, while
the other makes no effort to lift him-
self from the stream into which the
tide of circumstances has placed him,
but wastes the strength in vain re-
grets and useless repining, which, if
properly exerted, would put him on
his feet.
Whatever your trials and disappoint-
ments, keep them to yourself; they
only worry your friends and vex those
who have no claim upon your
confidences. Keep a bright face, a
cheerful word and a hopeful heart.
Carry in your bearing the dignity of
self-esteem, and let the air of prosper-
ity fit you like a garment. Extend to
the world a cordial hand, and remem-
ber that life is for the most part what
we make it.

| DEATH’S HARVEST.
Samuel J. Lichty, one of Salisbury’s
Best Citizens, Passes Suddenly
Away.
It is with deep regret that we this
week chronicle the death of our good
neighbor, Mr. Samuel J. Lichty, who
passed suddenly and unexpectedly
away at his home on Grant street, last
Friday evening. His death was a
shock to the entire community, and the
news was as surprising as would be a
flash of lightning from a clear sky.
It is true that Mr. Lichty was one of
our oldest citizens, but as he was a
man of wondeful vigor and rugged
health, his death was not in the least
anticipated. He had been hauling coal
all day with his horse and sled, for he
usually enjoyed the best of health, and
never could content himself in idleness
or inactivity.
In the evening, at the close of his
day’s labor, he complained of having a
severe pain in one of his hands, also. of
a shortness of breath, and while sitting
in his comfortable home, surrounded
by his aged wife, daughter and grand-
children, his son, Dr. A. M. Lichty, was
sent for, but before anything could be
done for his comfort, he suddenly ex-
pired in his chair.
The sad news was at once flashed
over the town, and on all sides much
regret and sorrow was expressed, as
well as surprise. It can be truly said
that Mr. Lichty was a noble man, and
as a citizen he was esteemed and be-
loved by all. He was one of our near-
est neighbors, and we knew him inti-
mately for more than thirty years. He
was a plain, blunt citizen, free from all
shams and outward show, yet very cons
siderate of the feelings of others—kind,
generous and manly.
One admirable trait that Mr. Lichty
had was his disposition to keep silent
on the faults of others. He preferred
to speak only of the good that he saw
in others, and he was at peace with all
the world. Another beautiful trait was
his fondness for children, and he was
never more happy than when driving -
about with his wagon or sled, surround-
ed by a bevy of little folks. The lads
about town were always eager to do
errands for him, but no more so than
he was to do a good turn for a neigh-
bor whenever “opportunity presented
itself. :
Mr. Lichty will be greatly missed in
this community. Not only on account
of his many good traits of character,
but on account of his general useful-
ness. For many years he was a sort of
general utility man in the community,
for he could turn his hand to almost
anything useful, and his services were
always at the disposal of any and ali
comers, rich or poor, and at extremely
modest charges, and many, many times
without money and without price.
His was a peaceful and a happy life.
He strove not for great riches, but was
content to live in ordinary comfortable
circumstances, working more or less
every day, but never taxing his strength
beyond the point of discretion. He
was a man temperate in all things, and
his daily life was an open book, as it
were, every page of which contained a
wholesome lesson and a good example
for his fellowmen.
Deceased was aged 79 years, 3 months
and 26 days. He was a son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. John C. Lichty, and a
brother of Solomon, Jonas and David
Lichty, Mrs. Daniel Miller, Mrs. Mich-
ael Kimmel, Mrs. John W. Beachy,
Mrs. Sally Sipe and Mrs. J. D. Liven-
good. The only surviving brother is
David Lichty, of this place, and the
sisters are all dead, except Mrs. Daniel
Miller, of Illinois, and Mrs. J. D. Liven-
good, of this place.
Samuel J. Lichty was the father of
three sons and three daughters, as fol-
lows: W. 8. Lichty, of Lincoln, Neb.;
Daniel, of California; Dr. Albert M., of
this place; Mrs. Albert G. Keim, of
Missouri; Mrs. C. Rowland, deceased,
of Illinois ; Mrs. M. H. Wagner, of this
place. Besides the surviving brother,
sisters and children, deceased is also
survived by his aged wife, who is oniy
about a month younger than her la
mented husband,
The funeral service was at the Ger-
man Baptist Brethren church, Monday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. W. A.
Gaunt, of Huntingdon, Pa., assisted by
Rev. Geo. Yoder, of the local congrega-
tion. Deceased was a member of the
aforesaid denomination for a little
more than 58 years, and a deacon of
the same for more than 50 years.
The funeral was attended by a large
concourse of people from various parts
of the county, although the weather
was very inclement at the time, all of
which goes to show that the people
care not for weather conditions when it
comes to paying their last sad respects
to a departed friend and brother. The
remains were interred in the I. O. O.F.
cemetery.
