suit against himself was witnessed in
court on Monday. Some time
ago one of our young lawyers was
kind enough to go on a bond for a
friend with others, for a small
amount of money. This note was not
paid and the plaintiff went to this
lawyer to have suit brought upon it.
The lawyer Immediately took the
case and instituted suit against him
self and others. The money will like
ly soon be made. Lawyers will have
iness.-Fairmont Index.
1t is remarkable the number of men
who are going about introducing new
schemes. The latest one worked in
this section is revolving frame en-

number of business men of Oakland
whose cards are painted in gaudy
colOrs. The frame is made to revolye

Governor John Walter Smith has
issued a proclamation designating
Wednesday, April II, as ''Arbor and
Highway Day" He reccomends that
the day be devoted by the people of
this State to the planting of trees,
and l especially recommend to par
ents and teachers in our schools that
they encourage their children or those
under their influence to plant or trans
plant at least one forest shade tree on
that day by the side of a public road
or about their schoolhouse and that
they be urged to study the habits and
needs of our birds and their young,

Many a man has made failure in
the battle of life because he ''despised
the day small things" and the
young man who overlooks the impor-
tance of small things" is almost
sure never to be great success. The
mighty river that rolls onward to the
ocean was, in its small beginning but
rill trickling down some moss-cover
ed rock; the giant tree that sweeps
the air with its hundred branches
and mocks at the bowling tempest
was, in its small beginning, but lit
tie seed trodden under foot unnoticed.
The first seed put in the ground, the
first shilling put in the saving bank,
are important things. Don't de
spise the day of small things young
man if you want to succeed in life.
We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep a bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use
the Cough Remedy, and as a result
we never have to send away for a doc
tor and incur q large doctor bill, for
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never
fails to cure. 1t is certainly a medi-
cine of great merit and worth.-D. S.

The trout season in Maryland be-
gins on April 1st The near ap-
proach of this season causes many a
pleasant anticipation to rise in the
breast of the lover of the piscatorial
sport. Already the fishermen of
town are laying plans for trips to the
near by brooks where they expect to
make big catches, the streams in the
county having been so well taken
care of during the administration of
Fish Commissioner George that no
fear is entertained for scarcity of
the juicy and wholesome fish, Union
town (Pa.) fishermen are making pre-
paration to invade this county also.
They will have their headquarters at
or near Friendsville.
