UNIONTOWN.

Sickness still prevails to a very great
extent in the community, and space will
not permit of personal mention. There
are no dangerous cases as far as we have
learned Mrs. Jehu George has been
quite i'll, also Mrs. Naomi Yarnell. Mr..
Thomas Boyd and Mr. VIM. Gillespie
were able to attend church ON Sabbath.
Rev. George S. Hackett preached in the
.. P. Church on Sabbath evening, at 7:30.
The sermon was good one, and listened
to with earnest attention, and if the even
ing had proved more favorable the at
tendance would have been large.
A telegram was sent to Mr.. Henry
Daniels stating that his daughter, Mrs.
Laura Simpson, whose home is in Iowa,
was dangerously i'll, and no hopes were
entertained of her recovery. This was a
severe trial 10 the family, and especially
to Mr.. Daniel, the word coming at the
time of his own affiiction. The fullest
sympathy is accorded.
Our visit to the Institute on Friday aft
ernoon was much enjoyed. Every one
had pleasant word and kindly greet
ing, and the time passed away all too
swiftly. We first fortified ourself with a
Christian dinner, furnished by the La
dies Aid Society of the Presbyterian
Church, and we hope the modest sum
contributed by us benefited the Church
financially in the same proportion as the
excellent dinner benefited us morally and
physically. The ladies are justly deserv-
ing of praise for their good work.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
J. H. Denham and Mr.. Ault, the original
discOverers of the Farmers Home Picnic.
They found it on ridge about two miles
south of st. Clairsville, and figuratiyely
speaking let the world know about it,
and several thousand of them came over
to see it. Mr.. Denham's front name is
Joseph, but as he is hustler, people call
him "Joe" for short. He is the father of
the RNoxem-All' Gate, and as he uses
printers ink literally we learned that his
headquarters were down behind the
Treasurer's Office "a good position), and
one editor said 'call down and see Joe
and his gates, you will find them both in
teresting," and we did. When the action
of the automatic was explained, and the
gate swung round, all we could say was,
Joseph, 1t does"
The Earth-pig came out we suppose as
usual on Sabbath, the I'd inst, and in
this locality, we are happy to say he could
not see his shadow. Under the circum-
stances the proper thing for him to do
would be to go back, put on his linen
coat, open the hall door and set an onion
patch in the front window. Six weeks of
weather may confidently be expected.
We are informed that the BrOkaw oil
well is failure, and that drilling is sus-
pended and the well abandoned.
Mr.. John Ritchey, teacher of the school
here is sick with the influenza.-Mr. Ev-
erett l. Hays has just recovered from
its effects. III.

A WOMAN of Wellsburg attempted to
defame young Miss of Is when the Miss
went to the woman's home, locked the
door as she went IN and then proceeded to
do her up with her fists. She succeeded
in admirable style. When a policeman
broke down the door, the Miss appeared
as the victor of the affray and came down
with $40 to pay for her satisfaction and to
prevent arrest. ,-..-

POOR HUMANITY!

The common lot is one of sorrow say
at least-the pessimists, they who look at
the worst side. Certainly what would
otherwise be bright existence, is often
shadowed by some ailment that over
hangs it like pail, obscuring perpetually
the radience that else would light the
path. Such an ailment, and very com
mon one, is nervousness, or in other
words, weakness of the nervous system,
condition only irremediable where in
efficient or improper means are taken to
relieve it. The concurrent experience of
nervous people who have persistently
used HOStetter's Stomach Bitters is, that
it conquers entirely upersensitiyeness of
the nerves, as well as diseases called
which are invited and sustained by
their chronic weakness. As the nerves
gain stamina from the great tonic the
trouble disappears. Use the Bittters for
malaria, rheumatism, billiousness and
kidney troubles. 26-4t

YOUR rheumatism may be had; we will
admit it to be very bad, and that you have
expended great deal of money for med
icines and treatment without receiving
much benefit; but remember that others
have suffered even more, and yet have
been permanently cured; no case of rheu-
matism can be so bad that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm will not ease the pain and help
it, and hundreds of cases that had long
been regarded as incurable have yielded
to the soothing effects of this great Rem
edy. The prompt relief from pain is alone
worth many times its cost. soc BEETLES
