You would not delay taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy at the first sign of kid- pey or bladder trouble if you realized that neglect might result in Bright's disease or diabetes. Foley’s Kidney Remedy corrects irregularities and eures all kidney and bladder disorders. Blk Lick Pharmacy. E. H. Miller, Prop. It is much easier to lead people than to drive them. We often hear it said that a person was ‘driven to destruc- destruction. There are many snares and pit-falls in che highways of life, and many are lured to destruction by those who enjoy seeing others brought to their own level. In the early days of railroading in this country no restraint was laid on any employe from drinking, and many of them were intemperate. Now rail- roads are virtually temperance socie- ties. Many companies will not permit any employes to be seen entering a galoon, nor under any circumstances to drink intoxicating liquors. There is no case on record of a cough, cold or la grippe developing into pneue monia after Foley’s Honey and Tar has been taken, as it cures the most ob- stinate deep seated coughs and colds. Why take anything else? Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Prop. 2-1 Wm. H.

Mr, Lichty was operated on last Thursday, and the surgeon pronounced the opera- tion a complete success. Mr. Miller says they expect to have the patient out and as good as new within a few weeks.

They area pair of energetic and hustling young men who have de- cided to embark in the mercantile busi- ness in the Sanford Broadwater stand, at Grantsville, Md.. and we predict that they will do a flourishing business. Mr. Miller is a son of Jacob 8. Miller,a prominent farmer residing near Grantsville, and Mr. Maust is a son of D. W. Maust, of near Springs, Pa. Criticism is a medicine that some- times kills, but often cures. It cured Lord Byron of some of his early foibles and lordly conceit, and it is said to have killed John Keats, an oversensi- tive young poet. But takenasa whole, criticism is a good thing if wisely di- rected and properly administered. It corrects errors, cultivates taste, and nducts the world in the right paths to the attainment of the most substan- tial good to the greatest number. Ross Lichty, of Carleton, Neb., who had been visiting his parents (Mr. and Mrs. David Lichty) as well as other friends here during the past month, started for his western home, Monday afternoon. He was the. editor’s guest, last Sunday, and we enjoyed the good, long talk we had concerning scenes and persons well known to us in and about Carleton, where we first embark- ed in the newspaper business, where some of our most pleasant years were spent, and where we formed strong friendships that will last until the end of time.

Some people think it a mystery that notwithstanding good advice their boys grow up to be wild and reckless young men. If these boys were taught from infancy that home is the proper place for them after dark, rather than prowl- ing around the streets, annoying well and sick people alike, much of this mystery might be explained, and young men with better moral character and more intelligent minds. would be the result. No parent need expect pure morals in a boy that prowls the streets at night, even if he does go to Sunday school. To place your umbrella in a rack, in- dicates that it is about to change own- ers; an umbrella carried over a wom- am, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain, signifies court- ship; when the man has the umbrella and the woman the drippings, it indi- cates marriage; to carry it at an angle under the arm, signifies that an eye is to be lost by the man who follows you; to put a cotton umbrella by the side of a silk one, means “exchange is no rob- bery ;” to lend an umbrella may be in- terpreted, “I am a fool;” to carry an umbrella just high enough to tear out men’s eyes and knock off men’s hats, signifies, “l am a woman.” The term printer's devil as applied to the boy who does the choring around a printing office has a peculiar roman- tic history. In early days printing was styled the “black art,” and printers were supposed to be in league with gatan. But it was in the time of Aldus Minutius, in Venice, that the matter took a serious turn. This was the famous printer who first published the Greek and Roman classics. He took into his employ a negro boy who was homeless on the streets of Venice. The people supposed the boy was an imp from satan, and that he assisted in printing. Mobs collected about the office and were about to wreck it, when the boy was brought forward and ex- hibited, showed that the boy was flesh and blood, but he was still called “the printer’s devil,” and every boy in, his position ever since has been so called The February number of The Ladies’ World has a cover by Charlotte Weber- Ditzler, which is one of the most at- tractive we have seen, ond the con- tents are of the same high order. Of course, there is a Lincoln story, but it is a most interesting one, telling of his early life and taking him up only to the It is written by Clara E.

The household in- terests are fully covered in a plain, practical kind of way, and in a special article called “The New Road” is given the best explanation of the New Thought and Emmanuel Movements that we have seen.—[ New York; Fifty 9.1 | children.

There would certainly be trouble in many homes, arrests in some directions, shotguns in otters trouble all around. But the patron never sees the waste-basket, He only glances at the beautifully printed pages, complains if one letter in fifty is upside down, growls his dis- appointment if one name in five hun- dred has happened to be printed wrong, kicks because his communication sign- ed “Tax Payer” has been condensed into respeetable English, frowns be- cause the editor didn’t take his advice about publicly warning his neighbor against throwing melon rinds into the alley, and is generally disgruntled, not go much at what he finds as at what he fails to find. He knows his share of the waste-basket, but if he could have one look at the contributions made to that receptacle by his neighbors, he would thank God for the existence of a man with sufficient intelligence and courage not to print all he knows, and to temper even that which he does print, says an exchange. In renewing the family subscription to THE STAR, Mrs. W. T. Buchanan, of Harrisonburg, Va: sends their best wishes to the edilor and family for good health, happiness and prosperity. We always feel grateful for such kind expressions of good will, and especially when such expressions are accompani- ed by a check or money order for a paid-in-advance subscription. Mr. Bu- chanan is still superintending two of the largest tanic acid extracting plants in the country, similar to the one he used to superintend here, only much larger. One of them is located at Stokesville, Va., and the other at New- port, Tenn. Mrs. Buchanan writes that her husband is kept very busy looking after the two big plants, but we know that he is equal to the task, as he is an expert in his line. Other- wise he wou'd not be holding his pres- ent position so long. Well, more power to him, and good luck, happiness apd prosperity to the whole family. Salisbury lost one of the best families that ever resided here when the Bu- chanans moved away, and, say, wouldn't we all be glad to see the old extract works doing business here yet? It was Salisbury’s most valuable as- set during the panic of 1893 to 1898, and a factory of that kind would be a great help here right now, or at any time, for that matter. It is no pleasure to us to refer toa fellow townsman as a bar-room sen- ator, but when a fellow takes a devlish delight in continually hounding and persecuting us, hurling insulting re- marks at us when we are not speaking to him or of him, etc., ete., we feel justi- that will justly fit him. It is human nature to strike back, and when a fellow will sign a dirty, scurrilous, ly- ing petition setting forth that a post- master is a whisky soak and about everything else that is dishonorable, in order to have him removed from of- fice, that kind of a fellow has no right to expect gentle treatment at the hands of the person he is continually seeking to injure. That is the kind of a course a certain bar-room senator has seen fit to take against the editor of this paper, yet the fact remains that during the eight years we served the people of this town as postmaster, no patron of the office ever received an unkind or an uncivil word from us in or about the postoffice, and no man, woman or child ever saw us there under .the in- fluence of liquor. - We have never neglected any business entrusted to us, neither through drink nor any other avoidable cause, and the bar-room senator to whom we refer has for years been drinking to excess, and he seems to be keeping it up, too. And the petition he signed availed him nothing. It is probably for that reason that he still delights to hound and persecute us, to address insulting remarks to us, etc., when we are not speaking of him nor to him. If se do not like a man, we are content to let him alone if he lets us alone, but when he continues to goad us, for no other apparent reason than to be mean, when we are trying ‘0 ignore him, he must remember that the time is sure to come when forbearance ceases to be a virtue. We have spared a few such people in these columns on their relatives for whom we have re- spect, but the time has now come when it will be a case of “lay on Macduff,” regardless as to who gets hurt, if a certain bar-room senator and a few others of his ilk insist on needlessly persecuting and insulting us and there- by inviting all kinds of trouble and humiliation for themselves and their friends. We know that a newspaper man has a double advantage in meting out shame and humiliation, but we do not wish to make use of the advantage unless forced to it by continued stabs in the back and needless insults in public places. But there's a big storm brewing for a certain clique of hypo- critical shysters and snakes in the grass, if they insist on bringing it about. We have all the essentials to produce the storm, and the thunder and lightning of truth and retribution will strike hard if once the thunder- bolts of justice are let loose.
