During the last campaign the Demo
Gratis raised the cry of higher prices "by
every false resort and falser report.
Now Democratic editors and party ar
guers havn't word to say about the re-
duction of sugar, the removal of the to-
bacco license for merchants. cigar max
ers and tobacco raisers, and the cheapening
of everything people consume. Demo
cratic editors will write columns about
the increased price of tin under the Nc
Kinley bill, but they will not have the
honesty to give Mr.. Mckinley and re-
publican congress credit for the reduc.
ton of sugar. Every farmer in the
country pays out $50 for sugar where he
pays out fifty cents for tin ware. and af-
ter the establishment and development of
tin plants in the country we will make
our tin at much less price than we pay
England or Wales for it. Farmers, just
think back and over the statements made
by the Democrats and you will begin to
appreciate the magnitude of their misrep-
reservations. Next campaign they will
try to deceive you again, will you believe
them!

WEDDED.

On Wednesday afternoon, April Sth,
at $3.50 clock, the home of Mr.. l.. c.
Geriing was filled with invited guests
to witness the marriage of his sister,
Anna c. Gerling daughter of ,dr. Fer
dinand Gerling, to ]. Daniel Schlotter-
beck, formerly of Hagerstown.
The handsome parlors were very
tastefully decorated with evergreen.
At the appointed time the bridal party
entered the rooms and took their posi-
ton by beautiful pyramid of potted
plants, under a bright light suspended
from the ceiling The scene presented
was very attractive indeed. The cere-
mony was performed according to the
ritual of the Lutheran Church, by Rev.
c. S. Trump. The stately bride was
attired in very becoming tan-colored
travelling costume, wearing a large
bunch of Marshal-N Neil roses. The
groom wore the conventional black.
The bridesmaid was Miss Clara
Schleuss, of Martinsburg, attired in a
dress corresponding with that of the
bride The best man was Mr. Ber-
nard Gerling, brother of the bride.
An interesting feature of the occa-
sion was f1ash-light picture taken of
the bridal party and relatives by an
artist from Chambersburg, after which
all were invited to the dining apart
ments for refreshments.
The table was ladened with choice
fruits, confections, etc, i'll abundance,
while ice cream and cake were served
by a professional caterer. Each end Of
the table was graced with a magnif-
cent brides cake, and the centre a
mound of flowers.
The great number of beautiful and
useful presents presented, indicate the
high appreciation in which Miss Annie
Gerling was held, and we congratulate
the groom on his choice. The happy
party left amidst shower of rice, and
good wishes, for an extended trip to
Washington and other cities. We
wish our young friends, bright and
prosperous married life T.
