AYERS
Cherry PeCtoral

Is not new claimant for popular conf
dence, but u medicine which is TO-DAY
saving the lives OF the third generated
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever beer
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given IL q proper triai
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it. -
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is a
medicine that only requires TO be taken in
small doses, is pleasant TO the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing SO good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

"Who the thunder is Joe Bar
biere any how?"-Statesman.
He is the fellow who several years
after the war closed, wrote book.
That wouldn't have hurt him, but he
had the thing printed, and now it is
kind Of a tombstone for him. If
you write book, Captain, never
have it printed, and be careful what
you print, anyway. 1t is the grave
yard of the past, in an editors ca
reer, that furnishes his ghost.

BELLFONT MENTIONS.

The last ten days viii be long re-
membered for the number of prairie
fires in this vicinity and surrounding
country; in fact, we have been about
surrounded by fires. One from the
northeast, swept the prairie up to the
railroad track, destroying the greater
part of the snow fence adjoining the
east of this station OF the four fires
which were started. but one is known
to have originated from the railroad
engines; and the others, by parties try
ing to burn off the grounds, that plow
ing might be more easily done. It is
about time that an example be made of
some of these reckless persons, and
they be made to feel the full penalty of
the law, which may deter others from
putting the lives and property of their
neighbors in jeopardy. Not only large
range of pasture has been burnt, but a
number of stacks Of straw and hay con
sumed.
Late reports from the FIRE, bring
the sad news Of two persons, out herd
ing cattle, and were caught in the fire
on last Wednesday, north of this place,
near the Sawlog, were fatally burned.
On Friday evening, Miss Wertz, living
south CT Offerle, who was an invalid,
was taken from their burning house by
a brother. who returned to lock for an
other sister, ard during his absence the
formers clothes took fire and fatally
burned, expiring few hours after she
was found.
The last few weeks have demon
strated that Bellfont has not all the ac-
commodations necessary for the travel
ing public. A livery and feed stable is
much needed Who will come and build
| one?
Mr.. S. OFT, travelling land agent Of
the A., T. & S. f. railroad company,
gave US call few days ago, accom-
panied by parties from the east, who
were looking for land.
Among the arrivals the past week,
| we note Mr.. NJ. Lememann, Of Maquo-
quota, Iowa.
Mr.. Fisher Of Des Moines, Iowa,
was also here looking For location.

The Baptist Church of Alleghen,

The Baptist Church of Allegheny
City, Pa, celebrated its semi-centenni-
al anniversary on the 9TH inst. Rev.
n. G. Collins, of this city, was pastor
of the church in its early times, and We
make some extracts from the proceed
ings, which we take from the Plttsburg
Dispatch, of the 9Th inst. We have
no doubt the extracts will prove inter
esting reading Elder Collins ha. an
eventful history, covering ministerial
period of over fifty years We extract
from the Dispatch as follows:
The semi-centennial anniversary of
the Sandusky Street Baptist Church,
Allegheny City, was celebrated in fit
ting manner at the church last night.
The building, which was handsomely
decorated, was crowded with members
and friends Of the congregation. Beau
tiful floral decorations and festoons of
evergreen ornamented the pulpit and
other portions Of the room. The most
conspicuous was an elaborate tablet Of
flowers bearing the inscription, also in
flowers: 1S35-1sS5
A large, decorated scroll in the rear
bore the names of the pastors who have
filed the pulpit since the inception of
the church.
The Rev. n. G. Collins oficiated for
time as pastor of the church without a
formal call, but in August, 1912, he
was called for one year. There is no
re cord of his resignation extant, but On
March %, 1915, he was chairman of a
special meeting, held for the purpose
of calling Rev. II. Silliman to the pas
torate. 1t was during the term Of Rev.
N. g. Collins, and mainly through his
exertions that the present church ediiice
was built. No history of this enterprise
appears in the minutes, but DR.. Wood
burn is Of the opinion that it was en-
tirely under the supervision of Rev.
Collins. He went on collecting tours,
solicited subscriptions, gathered mater
ial, and when at home took his place
with the mechanics and assisted them
in their work. No mention is made in
the church records Of the disposition of
the Robinson street property. The con-
ference meeting Of September 9, 1913,
was the first held in the lecture-room
of the Sandusky street edifce. The
record in the conferences speaks Of it
as the Sandusky Street Church, which
is the first known use Of the name. The
charter has never been amended, and
the legal name Of the church is still the
First Regular Baptist Church, Of Al
leghenytown.' A resolution Oh the
church books, January 25, when the
society acknowledges their everlasting
gratitude TO Rev. Collins for his exer-
tions in behalf of the church, shows
that it had cost $4,000, and the church
had raised but 500 of this The ground
on which the church stands was leased
by Judge Davis for ID years with the
privilege of buying. This was after
ward done. Rev. N.G. Collins is still at
Dodge City, Kansas, and enjoys vigor-
Gus health.
