NOTES AND CONTENTS.

Every person has enough of
the windy weather.
The grippe has got lots of our
people.
The person who is not at pres
ent suffering from a cold or
hoarseness is entirely out of
fashion.
Oh, the snow, the beautiful
snow how slow it comes, and
how fast it goes
1t is said, by eating an apple
on retiring at night, and an
orange on arising in the morn
ing, your doctor bills will de-
crease. The remedy is cheap,
pleasant and palatable. Try it.
Recently the Worlds Fair
glass blowers made an exhibit
ton of their skill at Goddard's
Hall, Williamsport, Md, when
prizes were voted to the home
lest man, the handsomest Miss,
and the prettiest baby of the
town. Prizes were awarded as
follows: J. w. Sterling, glass
pipe; Miss Blanche Hewitt, glass
sooner under large glass bowl;
Francis Taylor. glass lighthouse
under glass bowl. Miss Hewitt
is a daughter of Mrs. Jennie
Hewitt, and a granddaughter of
Mr.. A. T. Russler, of this city.
Numerous congratulations were
showered upon the young lady
and for some moments she was
unable to express more than a
polite bow, with sthanks. "
Sorry we were not there. If we
had been Mr.. Sterling would
never have received the pipe.
In conversation with an in
teresting young person recently
in reference to business pursuits,
it was remarked that the chance
for accommodating wealth here
is not as brilliant as it had been
in days past. This is a mistake.
Many persons have started out
in the world with not a dollar
and to so express it, have learned
to paddle their own canoes
against wind and tide. No per-
son in our country is poor who
possesses health, education and
an unblemished reputation.
Franklin says the road to wealth
is as easy as the road to market;
but it is not found in street cor
ner loafing, nor at the gaming
table or the OVERLOOKING bowl.
1t must be sought for and ap-
preciated when found. Get up
reputation for doing a legiti-
mate business for which you are
best adapted, make it your pro-
fession give it your time and
energy follow it for ten years,
and success is sure. Fulton i'm
agined there was something in
steam to be developed and he
succeeded; so did Morse in tele-
graphy, so did Edison in cleo
tricity. Were persons in possess
sion of more intellectual advan-
tages then than at present? 1t
should not be the case. If per-
sons grow wiser, though they
may become weaker physically,
new developments are constant
ly springing up in the mind
pointing the way to health,
wealth and happiness, which at
times are suppressed and re-
buked for worldly pleasures,
which appear as susceptible as
the thornless rose and fades just
as quick, leaving behind only a
shadow, faint idea, of what
could have been accomplished if
the proper course had been pur-
sued.
Let us then be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait"
We were shocked to learn of
the demise of Mr.. M. l.. Paskel,
a. resident of North Martlnsburg,
which occurred early last Mon
day morning at his residence.
He was apparently in good
health ten minutes before he
died. He was an honest, quiet
Christian gentleman, respected
by all who knew him. He was
in the 57th year of his age and
leaves a wife to mourn the loss
of an affectionate and kind hus-
band. She is left alone to battle
with the many storms incident
in this life. How sad to medi-
tate upon such sudden and severe
