A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs that any other. 1t
is probable that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head,
causing Catarrh. Now all this is dam
gerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you must
act with promptness allowing cold to
go without attention is dangerous and
may lose your life. AS soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a bot.
tie of Boschee' German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

HISTORICAL EVENTS.-Amid the
festivities and rejoicings attending
the Fourth of July celebration in the
present era of peace and prosperity, it
will not be amiss to glance ever the
many events big with the fate of the
Union that have occurred to add or to
mar the public joy on the natal ami
versary. In 1926 the day had been
celebrated with joy throughout the
twenty-four states, which then form
ed the Union, unawares that Thomas
Jefferson, the author of the Declara-
ton of Independence and the third
president of the United States. and
John Adams, the second president,
had both passed over to the silent
majority on that eventful day. In
1881 the holiday was marred by the
death of James Monroe, the fifth
president. History tells us that four
presidents have died in Office. The
first, William Henry Harrison, inagu-
rated on the 4th of March, 184iv died
after holding the Office single month.
The second, Zachary Taylor, owed his
fatal illness to exposure to the hot sun
on the 4th of July, 1850; and died on
the 9th. The other two, Abraham
Lincoln and James A. Garfield, per-
ished by assassination, the latter re-
ceiving his fatal wound on the I'd OF
July, 1881, when about to leave Wash
ington, converting that holiday into a
day of gloom.
During the war two ofthe most inn
portant Union victories occurred on
the 4th of July. The long and bloody
siege of Vicksburg, by its surrender
on the 4th Of July, 1868, and General
Grant eat his dinner within the Con-
federate Notifications, as he had
threatened to do. The same day was
an eventful one at Gettysburg, for
after desperate struggle Lee was re.
treating with his defeated troops, and
the invasion of the North was at an
end.

A dispatch from MiddIetown, Md,
says that about five O'Clock Monday
evening the citizens in several parts OF
that county were startled by a loud
noise. sounding as ifa heavy explosion
had occurred some distance in the
north. This was quickly followed by
a dull, rumbling sound, lasting nearly
two seconds. Windows were shaken
and in several instances houses were
rocked to and fro,, the inmates of
which were considerably frightened.
The vibration passed from north to
south, and was experienced by large
numbers of persons. Some persons
think the shock was the result of Q
heavy explosion somewhere, but the
general opinion is that it was an earth
quake. The same sound was heard in
Shepherdstown by many people, but
it was generally thought that it was
from the firing of salutes at Gettys-
burg. More than likely it was q
slight shock Of earthquake.

Hundreds of families in this State
have had their homes destroyed and
thousands Of farmers their land and
crops damaged by the floods, running
the losses into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. In other States people
have suffered from storms and acct

been blessed around here with safety
and plenty; and as some good chris
tian remarked, have been favored
more than we deserved.

A SCRAP Book OF THE HARRISON
CAMPAIGN.-Mr. WIN. Dorsey has
shown us a scrap book made up by his
father, beginning with the days Of
Clay and Calhoun, and containing
many of the songs Of the Harrison
campaign of 1910. There are some in
teresting local scraps. too, and in gen.
eral literature many good selections.
An old volume like this is as valuable
as the best author, because it is the
history of a people now mostly gone
to rest. Their children are now on
the stage of life, going through SINH
lar scenes, and working out the des-
tiny of a nation. Mr.. Dorsey is COM
piling scrap book of the present
campaign that will be a worthy com.
panion of the relic of other days left
by his father, and in after years will
recall the political scenes of an i'm
portant period in American history
Mr.. Dorsey's maternal grandfather
was Harrison, descendant of the
early settlers of Maryland and Vir
GINA, and not unlikely branch o.
the original Harrison family from
which the Berkeley F" Harrisons de-
scended.
