The Elkton correspondent to EUery
Evening says there has been organized in
Elkton in the past few days an associa-
ton which has produced considerable
comment. The organization is known as
the Elkton Social Club. The Farmers
Hotel on Main street in the hollow, Of
which Harry Confer was the last tenant I,
is the headquarters of the club. 1t was
organized for the purpose of furnishing
beverages of class which are not allow
to be sold in the prohibitory county,
to its members, as well as for the pur-
pose Of having club room in which to
hold social intercourse and play friendly
games.
A president, secretary and treasurer
have been named and a well-known Elk
tonian selected to have charge of the
club room. The members of the execu-
tive committee, who pass on the admis-
sion of members, &C., are prominent citi-
zens and two of the five are ex-town
commissioners. 1t is not necessary to
state that the friends of the prohibitory
law are not well pleased with this new or
ganization and will break it up if they
can under the law, as all the towns in
the county will doubtless have clubs of
the same character if this proves a sue
cess. The members Of the club state
that they have the best legal advice that
their organization cannot be interfered
with.

On Wednesday evening the Aid
Society of the Presbyterian Church held
their last meeting until September, at
the residence of Miss Laura Cavander.
Early the large parlor was crowded with
people anxious to witness the ceremonies.
The first on the program was duet
by Misses Annie Wilson and Jennie
Maxwell which was finely rendered;
"Girahe- Giraha," by several Misses, was
nicely done and the head-gear rather
unique; Misses Nora Raub and Annie
Wilson sang duet in Il style that highly
pleased the audience the browning fea-
ture of the evening of the entertainment
was the "Magic Mirror" it is needless to
describe the working of the mysteri-
GUS glass, but to describe the beautiful
creatures that passed before it at the
wave of the wand in the hand of the
Magi clan Raub, would take more than
columns. Therefore suffice it to say
that the different costumes were beauti-
full and added beauty to the wearer.
Stephen Choate, jr., represented the
Prince and sustained the character very
well.
The piano solo by Miss Shirley Deputy
was finely rendered; Songs Rounds"
was a pleasing feature. To describe this,
we simply gather the prettiest roses con-
tanned in garden and pin them to a
sheet, and stand off and look at. This
was the effect the "Songs Rounds" had
on the audience. The contrivance was
80 that the heads of several Misses were
shown, and the singing was well timed.
The entertainment was pleasant affair.

Birthday Anniversary.

About sixty friends and relatives OF
VIM Edmanson gathered at that gentle
mans home at Hares Corner, Monday
afternoon, to celebrate the 54th ami
versary of his birth. The occasion was a
very pleasant one, and Mr. Edmanson
seemed much younger than his years in
dictated. He was the recipient of several
pretty presents. THE LEDGER was not for
gotten, but enjoyed some delicious cake
as a result of the anniversary.

Thomas Lumb, ST., Dead.

On Sunday night last Thomas Lumb,
Sr., died at his residence near this town,
after many months Of illness. The de-
ceased was about 70 years old. He had
resided in this neighborhood for over
thirty years coming here from Pennsyl-
vania, near Philadelphia. He was a
Woodworking, frugal man, and paid
strict attention to home affairs. For
many years he had been a devout Christ
ian, regular attendant at the M. E.
Church here. A widow, five sons and
two daughters mourn their loss of kind
and devoted faithful father. Four weeks
ago the invalid daughter of the deceased
died, and the stricken father who had
always desired to live to see his daught-
ter die, was then willing to lay down the
cross of life and accept that blessed rest
and peace that awaits all Christians.
The funeral took place on Thursday.
Service was held at the house, with in.
terment at North Cedar Hill Cemetery,
frankfort, Pa.

Dwelling Burned.

On Saturday night last, the dwelling
house of Thomas Wright, near Dayett's
Mill, was not entirely consumed by fire.
The family having retired early and
were awakened about II O'Clock and
had barely time to escape. A small guam
ity of furniture was saved, but every
thing else was lost even their clothes; we
understand the house and furniture
was insured, and the whole is not to-
tai loss.

fire is unknown and it is impossible to
conjecture as to its origin.

BoiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, Of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years lie has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause Of innumerabe COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautifA faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsiglltly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla q fair
trial, - avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised 20 remedy
