HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill q bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours sediment or
settling indicates diseased condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.

GET IN THE PUsH.-Martinsburg
has got slump on her that will be
hard to get rid of. The thing for
every one to do is to put their
shoulder to the wheel. Don't wait
for some one else to stop walking
the streets trying to discourage
every one they meet, by talking
about hard times, etc. but start your
self and right away go to work.
Try to build up the city, don't let
anything 60 away that can be help
ed, and don't take too many chances
on what comes.

Lutte, the Swear old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Frankenberry,
of FrankeDberry-Town, it is thought,
is possessed of the gift of second
sight. A remarkable performance
was given of her at this office on
Thursday morning last, by picking
from set OF dominoes, with the
faces down, every one asked for.
Not only could she pick out the
domino. but could tell on which end
the larger or smaller number was.
Whether this is a gift of second
sight or not is not known, but if not,
she has Indeed wonderful intellect.

HIS PLAYING MARVELLOUS The
Mercersbnrg College Banjo and
Mandolin Club, with Mr.. a. A. Far
land, gave a concert at the Central
Opera House, Friday night. The
playing of Mr.. Farland on the banjo
was marvellous. His tones resem-
bled the violin much more than any
other instrument, and his lingering
was simply miraculous. Tue col
lege boys, although not as good as
Mr.. Farland, played wonderfully
well, and proves that the musical
education at Mercersburg is above
the general standard at preparatory
schools.

THE BALTIMORE & ONO Truck
TBAFFIC.-The decision Of the Bal
timore & Ohio to secure q share of
the truck business originating in
South Carolina and points along the
Southern Railway is attracting
much interest among the Southern
truck growers, who are reported to
be very friendly to the idea. The
freight is transferred to the B. & o..
at the Potomac river by the South
ern, and is carried across the river
in carload lots without breaking
the bulk. 1t reaches the Northern
market by the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Reading and the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey. The really
enormous increase in the shipments
of fruit and vegetables from Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas to the North
has proved TO be a very important
source of revenue to the combina-
tion of roads which hitherto has
had the exclusive benefit of the all
rail business, and the B. &. o. and
Southern will doubtless obtain g
considerable share OF the traffic as
the result of their enterprise.
