When twins arrive at a man’s home, the women he went back on and didn’t marry, feel as grateful as if they had been snatched from in front of a cable car. The Brethren Ladies’ Aid Society served a fine suppver at the residence of Q. A. McClure, Wednesday evening, to some of the members of the Meyers- dale W.C.T. U Frank Daugherty, who is conducting the Riverview Inn, at Ursina, has de- cided to go into the hotel business at Listonburg, in Addison township, if he can get retail license. The groundhog has been getting in | his work in great shape since he saw | his shadow on the 2nd inst., and thus is our poetical propecy written for the occasion being verified. “If you could tell a woman’s age by | remarked the | 3? her teeth, like a horse's observer of events and things, a woman would be more inclined to keep her mouth shut.” Isn’t that a slam?

The wife of Peter “Hawn has been very ill for more than a week.

The lady has a host of friends in Salisbury, and all hope that she will speedily recover. At last report her condition had slight- ly improved. Under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Lutheran church, a big supper at 8. C. Loechel’s, and a sleigh- ing party, were arranged for last Fri- day night, Many took part in the en- joyment, and Mr. Loechel informs us that supper was served to 114 people.

Refresh- ments were served,’ and the evening was spent in playing games and in gen- eral merry-making.

Mrs. Livengood, who acted as assistant editor and compositor, years ago, is again one of the office force, and we find her services a great help to us.

Newman, one of Salisbury’s most exemplary young men, last week purchased a half interest in the Mey- | ersdale Commercial College. He will | be the general manager of that institus tion, while the President of the same, | Prof. C. E. Stretcher, will devote most | of his time to the teaching department. The new partner is a son of the late { Jerome Newman, and we wish him much success in his new venture. A young woman in a town in Illinois, { near Chicago, has resigned her position | in the public schools for the purpose of going as a missionary to Africa. Why | should she go so far when Chicago is | so near, and where there are more | heathens to the square yard than there | are in Africa to the twelve miles { square? Strange ideas of the mission- | ary work these school “marms” have, | says an exchange. The Pennsylvania College Glee and Mandolin Clubs, of Gettysburg, Pa., will appear in the Donges theater, Meyersdale, on Saturday evening, Feb. 16th. where a high class concert will be given under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Lutheran church, Everybody whotecan should attend. as the attraction will be a rare treat. Salisbury boys, William and McClure, are members of the lin Club. The Holt, Mo., Dispatch says it has a few subscribers who remind it of Tom Jones whom the Swede collector said had promised to pay his account in January. He reported to the boss: “Tom Yones say he vil pay in Yanu- ary.” Well,” said the boss, “that is the first time Tom ever set a time to pay. Did he really say he would pay in January?’ ‘Vel aye tank so, he say it been a colt day when you got dat mone. Aye tank dat been Yanuary.” To stop a Cold with “Preventics” is safer than to let it run and cure it af- terwards.

There are seventy-six cases on the list, em- bracing all varieties of cffenses. The two murder cases, that against John H. Miller, charged with killing Catherine Stauffer, and that against John Flick- inger, charged with murdering Wesley Emerick, are set for Wednesday. That is also the day for presenting applica- tions for tavern licenses.—Somerset Standard. Our old friend Jacob D. Miller re- turned from Laneville, W. Va., several days ago, where he had been visiting and working for a few weeks. “Jake” says it was so allefired warm in that locality during the middle of January that copperhead snakes crawled forth from their winter quarters, only to be killed by the natives of that wild and woolly region.

The weather was very cold the day the bridge was completed, and some of the fellows who put on the finishing touches tried to celebrate the occasion and keep warm at the same time by means of a log fire and a jug of Overholt whisky. The Overholt evidently got the under holt on some of them, for we are re- liably informed that it got some of them down, while much of their dinner came up, and all they could utter for a while was “New York.” Nothing else of the same cost adds go much to the attractiveness of a town, nothing else gives such an air of prosperity and thrift, of comfort and content as the good repair and neat appearance of buldings and fences and generally well-kept up premises. A dollar spent by way of paint, and a little time spent now and then fixing up, toning up and keeping things in order, has a most wonderful effect; and a store of satisfaction. Great and im- posing edifices are not necessary to beauty and attractiveness. We know of some humble cottages, yet are so en- veloned in neatness and tidiness of all things round about, we never look on them but we are reminded it must Le pleasant to be there. It’s a pleasure to tell our readers about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop’s. IFor years Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opiul, 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 coniainers 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 by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 3-1 Do yoar own advertising. Make it a study.
