Colonel Al Swartzwelder called at
The Star cffice, last Thursday even-
ing, and paid another year’s subscrip-
tion to the “Twinkler,” and requested
that the paper be sent to him at Lis-

been employed. Colonel Al says Le
intends to take up the study of law in
the near future. We fear he is too
innocent a man for a lawyer, but we
wish him success.

Eider Howard H. Keim, of Ladoga,
Ind. arrived here last Thursday, for a
visit with his mother and sister, Mrs.
8. C. Keim and Miss Cora Keim. He
also enjoyed short visits with a few
other friends while here, and it is need-
less to say that his many friends in
old Salisbury fare always glad for an
opportunity to entertain him. From
here he went to Frostburg, Monday
morning, to visit his aunt and cousins
residing there, the wife and daughters
of the late Hon. B. Welfley. His plans
were to go from Frostburg to Elkins,
W. Va. to visit his brothers who re-
side there, and from thence return to
his home. On Sunday Elder Keim
filled the pulpit of the Union street
Brethren church, where many of his
old-time friends had the pleasure of
hearing him preach. One of his sons
accompanied him on his visit.
Two Serious Mine Accidents.
Two serious mine accidents occurred
in this viciniey within the past week.
One of them occurred in Samuel Ring-
ler’s mine, Saturday last, when Harvey
Engle, an employe of the mine, was
caught by a fall of bone coal. His
head was struck such a severe blow
that he continued to bleed from both
ears for a day or two after the accident
happened, but at last report he was
resting quite easy, and it is believed
that he will recover. The injured man
is a son of Mr. and’Mrs. John B. Engle,
is married, and resides at the village of

Every citizen in a town should be in-
terested in its prosperity. One of the
best ways to help a town is fo speak
well of it. It is true patriotism to
stand by your own town, and interests
that effect the town should effect every
citizen.
Never forget you are a part of the
town, and that your own deportment
helps to make up the strangers’ es-
timate of the place. Sell all you can
and buy all you can at home. Every
dollar that is sent or carried away
from home makes the town that much
poorer. If you have the means, invest
in something that will give somebody
employment. Do not kick at a pro-
posed improvement simply because it
is not at your door.

A perfect town is that in which you
see the farmer patronizing the home
merchants, the laborers spending the
money they earn with their ou4n
tradesmen, and all animated by a spir-
it that will not purchase articles
abroad if they can be bought at home.
The spirit of reciprocity between man
and the mechanic, tradesman and
laborerer., farmer and manufacturer,
results every time in making the town
a perfect one to do business in.
For some time Elijah Livengood has
noticed that some one has been steal-
ing his hay stored in a shed standing a
considerable distance from his house.
For a good while he had no clue to the
thief’s identity, but he now says the
thief is a woman, and he has mentioned
her name, we are informed, to certain
“persons. He says he knows he is right
in his suspicions, because he found one
of the accused woman’s garters in the
shed. We have no doubt that Elijah
knows what he is talking about, but
how in blazes did he find out what
kind of garters the woman wears? We
give it up.

MRS. McRANEY’S EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. M. McRaney, Prentiss, Miss.,
writes: “I was confined to my bed for
three months with kidney ahd bladder
trouble, and was treated by two phy-
sicians, but failed to get relief. No hu-
man tongue can tell how I suffered,
and I had given up hope of ever get-

bottles I felt like a new pergbn, and
feel it my duty to tell suffering women
what Foley’s Kidney Remedy did for
me.” Elk Lick hmmeny, H. Miller,

Low Water in New England"
Streams.
Engineers of the United States Geo-
1 gical Sarvey report extreme low-
water conditions in many streams of
New York aid New England during
September and October. The Ceon-
necticut River, in particular, reached
the lowest stage ever recorded, and con-
tinued at this stage for the greater
part of twoimonths.
All of the rivers of Maine have
shown the effect of the drought, al-
though it has not been nearly as severe
in this State as in other parts of the
New England district.
In New York State the conditions
have been very abnormal, and it is
probable that the low-water records
obtained during the last two months
represent the lowest stage for many
years.
MARKED FOR DEATH.
“Three years ago I was marked for
death. A grave-yard cough was tear-
ing my lungs to pieces. Doctors failed
to help me, and hope had fled, when
my husband got Dr. King’s New Dis-
Bac, Ky. “The first dose helped me
and improvement kept on until I had
gained 58 pounds in weight and health
was fully restored.” This medicine
holds the world’s healing record for
coughs and colds and lung and throat
diseases. It prevents pneumonia.
