Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Pro- prietor. 4-1 M. P. Lichty, of North Dakota, begs to state that he was very much inter- ested in the long list of uncle C. C. Livengood’s customers of 85 years ago. Of the many names given in the issue of THE STAR a few weeks ago, he has recollections of a large majority of them, but some he only faintly re- members. He says: “Of many, me- thinks, I can see their faces as distinct- ly as though it were but yesterday— the very play of their smiles and trowns, according to the mood they were in. Of the long list, to my know- ledge, only two are yet alive, namely, uncle Elias Peck, of Falls City, Neb, who will be 94 years old the 7th of this coming August, and Jacob~Lentz, of Waterloo, Iowa, now somewhere in the 80's. \ This is the most dangerous time of the year to catch cold, and it is the hardest time to cure it. If you should take a cold, a few doses of Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup will act very promptly. Its laxative principle cures the cold by driving it from the system by a gentle but natural action of the bowels. Children especially like Ken- nedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar. It is sold by E. H. Miller. 4-1 Woman Burned to Death. The wife of Louis Smearman, of Gar- rett county, Md., met with an accident on Monday last which ‘proved fatal to her. She was doing the family wash- ing, when in Some way her clothing caught fire, burning her so badly that she died the next day. Her husband is an uncle of Henry and J.T. Smear- man, of this town, and some years ago the stricken family resided on the McClure farm, in Elk Lick township, this county. Tallest and Shortest. Washington, Pa., March 23.—With the admission of “Tobe” McConnell, a dwarf, to the Washington County home, yesterday, that institution now houses the shortest and tallest adult persons in the county. “Tobe,” for many years a familiar figure in Washington, is 2 feet 7 inches tall. Pat Bane, stands 7 feet 2 inches. Pat was the first inmate to accost “Tobe” when the latter arrived, and the'two promise to become fast friends. Cost of State Roads. Recently, the County Commissioners issued orders for the payment of the county's share of the cost of building the following State highways in the different parts of this county during the past year: Seanor road, $2,024; Summit Township Friedens road, $1,336.83: Shade Furn- ace road, $,5561.70. Under the new road law the state pays six-eights, the county one-eighth, and the township or borough in which the road is located pays the remaining one-eighth of the cost of constructing the highways. As a result, the above amounts represent only one-eighth of the total cost of improving these four roads, which was $16,192 for the Sea- nor road, $11,047.12 for the highway constructed in Summit township, $10, 694.64 for the Friedens road, and $12,- 413.80 for the Shade Furnace highway —an aggregate cost to the state, coun- ty and townships of $50,347.36.—Som= erset Standard. road, $1,380.89; CURES INDIGESTION. All Distress from Stomach and In- digestion Vanishes in Five Minutes. Take your sour stomach—or may be you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas- tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn’t matter—take your stomach trouble right with you to your Pharmacist and ask him to open a 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your stomach misery. The correct name for your trouble is Food Ferment$ation—food souring ; the Digestive organs become weak, there is lack of gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become af- fected with loss of appetite, pressure ' and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nervous- ness, dizziness and many other similar symptoms. If your appetite is fickle, and noth- ing tempts you, or you belch gas, or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lamp of lead on your stomach, you ean make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one cause—fermentation of wundi- gested food. Prove to yourself, after your next meal, that your stomach is as good as any; that there is nothing really wrong. Stop that fermentation and begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. Almost instant relief is waiting for you. It is merely a matter of how soon you take a little Diapepsin. Death of Judge Fairall. Judge Samuel M. Fairall died on the 8th of March, in Iowa City, Iowa, aged 74 years. He was the oldest son of Truman and Mary Fairall, originally from Prince George’s county, this state. The.son was born in 1835, at the Little Meadows, .now in Garrétt ‘county. The father .then kept the his- toric Tomlinson Stone House Hotel. The Fairall family .consisted of ten children, about equally divided in the sex. They were all carefully educated by the ambitious parents. Samuels education was begun at a nice private school on the Fairall premises. For a time he was a student at Allegany Academy, thence to Washington col- lege, Pa., where a full edueation was campleted. The deceased was a cousin of Mrs. Dr. E. H. Bartlett and Mrs. R.J. West, of Oakland, Mrs. Dr. Carr and Mrs. Dunlap, of Cumberland, and Rich- tard Fairall, formerly of Swanton, now residing in Cumberland. He is sur- vived by several children.—Oakland Journal. Death of Mrs. Samuel Wetmiller. Mrs. Samuel Wetmiller died March 19th, 1909, at her home in Greenville township, four miles bast of Salisbury, at the age of 60 years and a few months.

DB. Meese, of Garrett county, Md.; Mrs. Harry Knecht, of West Salisbury, Pa.; Lucin- da and Eliza, of Hall’s Corners, N. Y.; Clara, Catharine and Alice! at home. One son died in infancy. Besides the eleven surviving children, deceased is also survived by her husband, six brothers and three sisters, and her aged father, Mr. Samuel Weimer. Mrs. Wetmiller was well and favor- ably known in this loeality, and she was universally respeeted and held in high esteem for the noble traits of character she possessed. The eleven surviving children have been brought up in the way that good parents rear their children, and all are a credit to themselves, the respeetive communi- ties in which they live, and to the parents from whom they received their good qualities and excellent training. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Father Brady, with High mass, at St. Michael’s Catholic church, West Salisbury, on Tuesday, the 23rd inst., deceased having been a faithful member of the Catholic ckurch all her life. The remains were interred in the Teemetery adjoining the church, the four stalwart sons of the deceased acting as pall-bearers. The little church was entirely too small to accommodate the many people who turned out to pay their last re- spects to one of earth’s noblest women, and many wept with the bereaved family during Father Brady’s touching discourse.
