The Restorative is a genuine tonic to tired, rundown nerves, and but a few doses is needed to satisfy the user that Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is actually reach- ing that tired spot.

Tuesday morning a new mail sched- ule went into effect at our home post- office. The mails under the new sched- ule arrive and depart as follows: 9:00 a.m. 1:30 p. m, and 6 p.m. The new arrangement gives three in-coming and three out-going mails per day, ex- clusive of the mails over the Grants- ville and Jennings routes. Mail Contractor C. W. Stotler, whose hack and mail business between Salis- bury and Meyersdale was rendered unprofitable by the P. & M. trolley line, has been released from his contract by the P.O.department, which has made a contract with the trolley company for carrying the mails. The new arrange- ment is very much better than the old, and as Boynton now has its own mail pouches, trolley traffic is no longer de- tained at that place during the distri- bution of mails. A WOMAN TELLS HOW TO RE- LIEVE RHEUMATIC PAINS. I have been a very great sufferer from the dreadful disease,rheumatism, for a number of years. I have tried many medicines, but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago, when I bought a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Pain Balm. I found relief be- fore I had used all of one bottle, but kept on applying it, and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice m ny of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked.—MRgs. Saran A. CoLE, 140 8. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is a liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale at Miller’s drug store. 5-1 Death of Samuel Koontz. The subject of this sketch, a former w-Il known citizen of Salisbury, died very suddenly at his home in Braddock, P.., Wednesday morning of last week, He had been in poor health for a year or more, but his death was not looked for so suddenly. He arose from his bed about 3 o'clock, ‘but suddenly fell to the floor and expired in a few min- utes. Death is supposed to have been caused by paralysis and an internal hemorrhage. Deceased was born in Somerset county, Nov. 1st, 1850, and for nearly 30 years followed the wagon-making trade in Salisbury. About seven years ago Mr. Koontz and family moved to Braddock, where the family still re- sides. Deceased is survived by his wife and the following named children: ‘Mrs. M. €. Kannand Mrs, David Haas, of Braddock ; Mrs. W. B. Stevanus, of Salisbury, and Milton, Allen, Della and Florence at home. Henry D. Koontz. a brother of Samuel, also passed away within the past few weeks, at his home in Mt. Pleasant, Pa. He, too, was a resident ot Salisbury, some years ago, and like his brother, was well and favorably known here. Both of the brothers were members of the Reformed church, and both were honest and upright citi- zens. It is with much sorrow that their many friends in Salisbury and vicinity learn of their death.
