COUNTY NEW S.
Case In Point.

"Philip's Boy is in trouble.
Last week he gave out the Bryanesque
idea that correspondents would be al
lowed 80 cents on the dollar for new
subscribers to enable them to have some
spending money at the picnic"
But democrat whom the 'Boy" has
been teaching how to abandon old plat
forms and construe new ones "writes to
know if he can keep the money and stay
at home"
This, unfortunately induces the Boy
to indulge Il crossword.
Not only so-he reaches the conclusion
that some democrats III this country are
"always trying to twist everything they
read to make it mean something else.
People have been doing that way with
the Bible for hundreds of years. They
want to twist it so it will suit themselves
individually, but the Bible and God s
laws don't change; neither are we going
to change the offer made merely to
crafty any ones greed"
Now, if the Boy only had very
little of the same kind of opinion of
democratic principles, he would avoid
both bad language and leaven somewhat
that big lump of inconsistency that
sometimes chokeS him.

is just the man for this juncture, and
the JOURNAL announces i'll way impair

tinue to send lawyers to Congress, but
if they want some business done for the
district, send, now and then at least, a
business man.
The Rockville convention might do far
worse than select the captain.

Married.

At the residence of the bride, New
Shaft, Tuesday evening, August 2S, 1900,
by Rev. Reese Reese, of Scranton, Pa,
Miss Anna Pascoe to Mr. Henry J. Wise,
of Cumberland. The bride is one of the
attractive daughters of Robert II. Pas
coe, the genial master of the extensive
machine plant which operates the New
Shaft. A correspondent, thoughtfully
assuming to represent the JOURNAL,
writes:
These young people were married in the
presence of small company of relatives and
intimate friends assem- bled III the home par
lor, most tastefully decorated with ferns,
golden rod and palms. Preceded by the
brides sister, Miss Lizzie, as bridesmaid, and
w. w. DOwney as best man, they entered,
the bride carrying brides roses, keeping step
with Wagner's Lohengrin, rendered by Miss
Melissa D. Schilling, of mberland, and,
standing upon rug of white flowers, beneath
the decorated curtains of the bay-window
they were pronounced man and wife.
The bride wore a gown of an extremely
pretty creation of fine white organdie and
lace, built upon foundation of white satin
and trimmed with many yards OF narrow
white satin ribbon. The bridesmaid wore
white organdie over blue taffeta, the groom
and best man the conventional black.
After the ceremony and congratulations
those present were invited to the dining room,
where the long table was laden with feast
of good things.
The popularity of the graceful young bride
was splenddly attested by numerous costly
gifts-many from friends not present, which,
i'll addition to handsome collection of silver
ware, included several beautiful testimonials
in jewels.
Those attending from abroad were Mrs.
Nate Weiss and Miss Hamilton, of Wheeling,
w. Va. Charles Lovensten, of Piedmont,
w. Va; Mr. and Mrs. S. w. Wise-father
and mother of the groom, Misses Carrie,
Myrtle, Bertha and Esther Wise, Misses
Esther and Melissa ID. Schilling, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur jenkins, Messrs. Edgar and
Walter Wise, of Cumberland, and Robert E.
Anwyl, of Middeport, Ohio
The happy couple took the noon train
"Wednesday for tour of the States of West
Virginia, Pennsylvania. ohio and Kentucky.
After returning they will make their home
in Cumberland, where Mr. Wise has already
ali elegantly furnished residence. He is a
trusted employee of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company, enjoying the highest re-
gard of both the officials and his fellow
employees.

Grover Cleveland.

Under all sorts of provocation from
both republicans and so-called democrats
Grover Cleveland maintains silence now
as ably and effectively as he used his
tongue and pen when in office.
The same integrity of purpose and
courage of conviction are behind his
dignified retirement as were then present
III his executive uttermces.
With sure place i'll history, the shafts
of envy and ingratitudc alike fall upon
his panoply of official rectitude harm
less as strawS upon the scales OF
Leviathan.
And, though out of office, he is still
an oracle with the democratic thousands
who have. not abandoned "the faith once
delivered to the saints and where he
sits is still the head of the table.

But some pulled, some pushed, some

There is more Catarrh in this section of the

and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure manufactured by f. J. Cheney, Toledo,

The reasons for this are manifold. The

ality all its own. The family regards it as
