THE GREAT rlEDTcTNE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use OF Palne'S Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best OF Health"

The greatest Of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that It had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands Of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women Of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incomPar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast of his or her burden
Of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
It proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people OF wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured OF a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use Of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several OF
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one Of them, at least, would understand
my case.
"I was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. ! was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. / could not 60 from the house alone,
as was liable TO sudden collapse. / tired
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
l ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side TO ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweatsr
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use Of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind Of food. Thank God am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"

Murder at MartlnSburg.

A shocking case of fratricide &C.
Cured at Martinsburg last Saturday,
when John Locke, aged Is years,
stabbed and killed his brother, Clar-
ence Locke, aged 20 years. The two
young men, sons OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John Locke, worked in the canning
factory, and when they went home to
dinner became engaged in quarrel.
Clarence struck John, and John threw
a stick of wood at his brother. CLAIR
ence told John he would fight him
outside the house, and both went into
the yard to have it out. Clarence
struck at John, when the latter made
lunge at his brother with barlow
knife, the blade of which penetrated
his neck and severed the jugular vein.
Clarence ran to the porch, where he
fell, with the blood squirting in great
stream from his death wound. In a
few moments his life ebbed away, and
before a physician conld reach him he
was dead. When DR.. Mccormick ar
rive he found the blood stained corpse
lying upon the porch, with an agon-
lied mother bending over it and the
rror-stricken .tratricide, whose hand
was red with his brothers blood,
trembling by her side.
The young man, who was almost
crazed with remorse, surrendered him
self to the authorities and was placed
in Jail. a coroner's jury was sum
moned and rendered a verdict that
Clarence Locke came to his death as
the result of wound inflicted by a
knife in the hands of John Locke, Jr

Mr.. ByerS' Prize Winners.

Charles F. Byers, of this vicinity,
one of our progressive farmers and
stock.raisers, exhibited Shorthorn cat
tie, Poland-China hogs and Shrop-
shire sheep at the Hagerstown fair
last week, and of twelve entries that
he made he won seven premiums. He
got first prize for Shropshire ram and
second for yearling ewes first for SOW
and pigs, first for yearling boar, and
second sweepstakes premium for pigs,
and second for boar under one year ;
he also got second premium for Short
horn bill. Besides the premiums
that he won, Mr.. Byers made num-
Der of good sales, among them being
heifer 20 months old that he got
1926 for. He also sold six hogs, and
expects to sell a number of other hogs
and sheep. He is very much encour-
aged with his experience at the fair,
and is satisfied that it pays to raise
good stock. We have no doubt that
our Jefferson county farmers could
make handsome profits if they would
90 more extensively into the business
of raising frst.class cattle and other
stock.

Delightful Weather.

The weather has been simply beau
tiful this week, and it is a positive de-
light to ride over our good roads or
walk through the fields and forests
now so brilliant in their autumnal
glory. The trees are putting on their
most gorgeous clothes, and the fresh
clear air is like good wine in its ex-
hilarating influence. Like the tents
Of a mighty army the corn shocks
stand row after row, while the new
sown wheat is putting carpet Of liv-
ing green upon the earth. The cat
tie in the pastures, the sheep with
their feecy winter garments, the hur-
rying, busy folk of the woods gather
ing their winter stores, the assembly
of the birds as they flock together pre-
paIatory to their fight to warmer
climes-all these lend enchantment to
the view, and we realize how good it
is to live in such a land, so blest OF
God, and with the Psalmist exclaim
Thou crownest the year with thy
goodness aid thy paths drop fairness.
They drop upon the pastures OF the
wilderness al the little hills rejoice
on every side.
The pastures are clothed with tlocks
the valleys also are covered over with
corn; they shout for Joy, they also sing

wives Wanted.

J. Few Brown, assistant cashier Of
the Shenandoah Valley National Bank,
of Winchester, has received letter
from A. B. Hodsell, of Buckeye, Ariz.,
asking Nr. Brown in all seriousness if
he cannot send a carload of Winches-
ter girls to Buckeye, where thrifty and
industrious husbands will be provided
for them at once. Mr.. Hodsell says
there are practically no women in his
section, and the young farmers there,
while thrifty and prosperous, are un-
happy because they cannot get wives.
Mr.. Hodsell says that the young men
of Arizona are not particular as to
what age, looks or other qualifications,
and guarantees that he will find good
husbands for carload of eastern fe-
males within a hours after their ar
rival in Arizona. Mr.. Brown has al
ready received several applications
from young women who desire to be-
come the wives of the Western farmers,
and while the matter was at first treat
ed as joke, it is possible that num-
Der of women will 60 from this section
