The operation was very skillfully and successfully performed, and the patient is reported to be recovering nicely. Mrs. Catharine DeHaven was taken quite ill several days ago. Her daugh- ter Mary, whom we understand resides in Washington, Pa., has arrived here with her daughter Bertha, and they are doing what they can for the aged parent and grandmother.

Stotler shipped his two running horses to Huntington, W. Va. to be entered in the West Virginia and Ohio racing circuit. “Bud” Stotler went with the horses, and we all hope to see him come back wearing dia- monds. However, “hoss” racing is a mighty “onsartain” thing, “as the feller says, says he.” We are very sorry to learn that a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Price is down with cerebro-spinal men- ingitis, which is a very dangerous dis- ease. Few people recover from it, and most of those who do are usually left deaf and dumb, blind or cripplad. However, we hope for the best in this and all other cases of sickness. Last Sunday a sort of family reunion and picnic was held at the Findlay spring, up Pine run, by some of the Wrights and Wagners, together with a number of invited guests.

Livengood, of Elizabeth, N. J, made a hurried visit to some of their many Salisbury friends, last Friday and Saturday: They have since returned te their home, which we greatly regret, for we didn’t have an opportunity to swap a single yarn with the genial doctor dur- ing his last visit. If they don’t spend more time in Salisbury when they come this way again, there will be trouble. Parties cutting timber on the Robert Gourly farm at Fairfield discovered a bee tree. The tree was felled and in cutting it open. in search of honey, they discovered a big black snake which they managed to kill. The bees and the snake were occupying the same tree, but no honey was found. Wheth- er the bees had just recently taken possession of a new home, or the snake had eaten the honey, comb and all, is a question.— Western Press. One of our citizens who occasionally wipes the dishes for his wife, became tired of the job and refused, saying that “it is not a man’s work.” Not | feeling disposed to lose help, she brought the Bible out to convince him of his error, and read as follows from 11 Kings, 21:13: “And will wipe Jeru- salem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.” It is needless to say that he is still doing his occasional stunt.—Confluence News. The P. & M. Street Railway Com- pany last week purchased three car- loads of crossties which had been ship- ped to the old faking M. & S. company by the Welsh Lumber Company. of Grafton, W. Va. It is needless to say that the M. & S. failed to pay for the crossties, which were evidently pur- chased for bluffing purposes, and that’s why they were sold to the P. & M. company, a concern that is actually building a trolley line instead of bluff- ing. Do you really enjoy what you eat? Does your food taste good? Do you feel hungry and want more? Or do you have a heavy, dull feeling after meals, sour stomach, belching, gas on the stomach, bad breath, indigestion and dyspepsia? If so, you should take a little Kodol after each meal. Kodol will nourish and strengthen your di- gestive organs and furnish the natural digestive juices for your stomach. It will make you well, It will make your food do you good. Turn your food into good, rich blood. Kodol digests what you eat. Sold by E. H. Miller. 8-1 Lawyers stand up in court houses before jurors, in the presence of large audiences, and denounce men as liars, scoundrels, thieves and perjured vil- lians, and when court adjourns the men appear to harbor ill will against them. But let a newspaper faintly in- no timate that a man’s character.is blem- ished, and he has to confront a horse pistol, stand a libel suit or suffer what the people think to be the greatest of all mortifications—lose a subscriber, says an exchange. Newton and Lawrence Wagner, of Jerome, Pa., arrived here for a short visit, Tuesday evening. They report good, steady work at the mines in the | vicinity of Jerome. In speaking of the | shooting affray that occurred in that town recently, in which a foreigner was shot dead by Henry Jones, who is now in jail awaiting trial, Newton Wagner informs us that he was an eye witness | to the tragedy, and says that in his | opinion Jones was justified in shooting the foreigner, as he shot in self defense.

His locat- ing elsewhere depended entirely on certain conditions, and his Salisbury friends are glad that he has returned. Sheep in Lincoln Creek Valley, | Wash., are growing tine crops of moss on their backs. The farmers attribute | the moss to the fact that in the last winter, while the animals stood under the low sheep-sheds, they gradually | accumulated enough soil in the wool on their backs to nourish the vegeta- tion. Then came heavy rains, which | developed the moss. Many of the ani- mals can not be sheared because of the | moss on their backs, and not a few Lincoln Creek farmers will be losers as a result. It is said the moss crop will | far exceed the output of wool. | I will mail you free, to prove merit, | samples of my Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, | and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The | Heart or The Kidneys.

Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ailment, Sa 5 | and not the cause. Weak Stomach | nerves—the inside nerves—mean Sto- mach weakness, always.

Keim farm, has been refenced, thoroughly cleaned up and put in good condition. The afore- said cemetery is over 100 years old, and in it are buried some of the grandest men that ever lived in this locality— men who came here when this locality was a howling wilderness and made it blossom as the rose. They were men of brain and brawn, as well as men of stout hearts and generous impulses. The editor’s great, great grandfather ed native of Switzerland,. was one of | the first men to locate here. He had | first located in New Jersey, later in Berks county. Pa., and then in this | tion of Bedford county.” The evening | he and his young wife landed here, | under the spreading and there, that very night, miles and lat the age of about 95 | neglected, - miles away from any physician, the first child of our great, great grand- parents was born to them.

The last resting place of such people our ancesters were, and others equally as good who are buried in the old Livengood cemetery, dare not. be and the cemetery must hereafter be kept in proper condition, and it will be.

A number of Salis- bury people attended, and two of them, Rev. I.. P. Young and Mrs. E. E. Hasel- barth, participated in the program. The Meyersdale Republican makes the following mention of them: “Rev. Levi P. Young, of Salisbury, closed his address with some very striking and at the same time logical remarks. He is a pleasing talker, and the convention enjoyed him very much.” “Mrs. E. E.
