The last one makes No. 9, he says, if he counted them correctly. Abram Williams, who had gone to Avis, Clinton county, Pa.. with a view to purchasing a hotel offered for sale in that place, returned without making the purchase, as the investment did not look good to him.

Long, is down with ty- phoid fever at the home of her mother and step father. Ellis, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Wagner, is also down with typhoid fever.

At this season we should eat sparingly and properly. We should also help the stomach as much as possi- ble by the use of a little Kodol For In- digestion and Dyspepsia, which will rest the stomach by digesting the food itself. Sold by E. H. Miller. 9-1 | Mr. and Mrs. Harvey B. Keim, of Es- | bon, Kan., arrived here Tuesday. even- | ing for a visit with friends and rela | tives.

George Yommer, an aged and re- spected citizen of Garrett county, Md., died last Thursday, at his home near Jennings. ‘He suffered intensely with Fair is his successor as pressman, and’ asthma for many years, dropsy finally setting in, which proved fatal. He was unable to lie down during the last 22 weeks of his life, and it is but reason- able to infer that death was a most welcome guest to him. The funeral took place at Grantsville, last Sunday, conducted by Rev. L. P. Young, our local pastor of the Lutheran church, of which denomination the deceased was a member. Mrs. M. H. Hoover has our thanks for some cash to apply on subscription to the “Twinkler.”” Her husband re- cently met with an accident while run- ning a stationary engine for the Stand- ard Oil Company. His hand was caught in some of the machinery, lacerating it very badly and breaking some of the bones. He will not be able to work for about two months, writes Mrs. Hoover, from Center Bridge, Bucks county, Pa., where they now reside.

Welfley, of Somer- §¥ Clearance Sale! set, landed here ou Monday evening for a visit to his old native heath. “Ju- lius,” as he is commonly called, is as full of jokes and fun as ever, but he is not only a humorist, historian and writer of ability, but also somewhat of a sage and philosopher. In speaking with THE Star man on the lawsuits pending between the great policeman of this borough and the editor, he re- marked that in his opinion the only benefits to be reapad out of the cases will be reaped by the “legal sharks,” as he terms lawyers, That may be very true, but the “legal sharks” must live, too, and like the undertakers and doc- tors, they often thrive by cther people’s misfortunes and blunders. Those who have stomach trouble, no matter how slight, should give every possible help to the digestive organs, so that the food may be digested with the least effort. This may be done by taking something that contains natural digestive properties—something like Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspepsia. Kodol is a preparation of vegetable acids and contains the very same juices found in a healthy stomach. It digests what you eat. Sold by E. H. Miller. gardless of cost.

I.i Livengood had to give bail in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at court, he is a falsifyer. He ought to post him- self on the penalty for reporting false news to a public journal, or he may get BUY AT COST into court himself. However, it wouldn’t matter much whether P. L. Livengood was required to give bail in the sum of one hundred, one thousand or one million dollars, he could easily secure the necessary bondsmen. While in Somerset, last Monday, we had the pleasure of a short visit with our old friend Hugh Denison, poet, in- ventor and agent for all kinds ‘of mu- sical instruments. Mr. Denison has a large and interesting family, and they all know just how to make a fellow feel nt home. Hugh has had a pretty strenuous time of it in selling musical merchandise, owing to the fierce com- petition, some of which has at times been very unprincipled competition. However, he has always managed to do his share of the business, and persons looking for a square deal in buying a musical instrument, never regretted buying from Denison.
