0rbiSOuia, Saturday.

The Orbisonla Baseball Team
will appear on our grounds this
Saturday, the twenty seventh,
and IN all probability, the Speed
Boys will have strong team to
play. This team has not been in
McConnellsburg for more than
ten years, hence we are glad they
are coming, and we hope to give
the fans more interesting game
this week than the game played
with Hustontown last Saturday.
The Orblsonla boys are a fast
bunch, but with the Speed Boys
at their best will give them all
they are looking for, and hope to
send them home with small end
of the score.
On Wednesday of next week,
thirty first, the Pleasant Ridge
boys Will come to McConnellS-
burg, hoping to repeat the Hus-
tontown score of last week, which
is possible but hardly probable,
but as all things are possible in
baseball and the game is never
over till the last man is out, they
may make our boys go some.
Everybody come to these games
and help make baseball success
and wewlll promise to give you
the best we have. We can't win
all the games, but we are not
afraid to try. We are not pro.
fessionals. but the boys have their
batting eyes on the ball, as,you
will notice the hit column against
the mighty Barton, and with
lever errors we will show Orbl-
sonia Saturday.

HARD LUCK.
Harry E. Morris Dwelling House and
Contents Destroyed by Fire Last
Week While He Was Away.

On Tuesday of last week, the
dwelling house, of Harry r. Mort
of Taylor township, together with
most of the contents, was des.
troyed by fire. Harry was work.
ing up at the mines on Broadtop.
His wife had been dong the fam
lily Washing, and stopped to pre-.
pare dinner. " hen the meal was
almost ready, her little daughter
came running in and told her
mother that the house was atire.
She hastened to the telephone
and called up her nelghbors, and
they hastened to the scene of the
fire as fast as was possible; but,
owing to the scarcity of water,
but little could be done IN the way
of saving household goods and
nothing for the house.
This means hard luck for Harry
and his family as there was not a
cents worth of insurance.

and again by Prof. Asaph Hall
and two assistants at the Naval
observatory, Washington, 1t is
impossible to say exactly when
it will come near enough to the
earth to be distinguished with
the naked eye. But from pres.
ent indications, when 1t does
come near, it will present an ap-
pearance second to none of the
comets seen within the last cen.

THRESHING MACHINE ACCIDENTS.
Job Clark, Of Belfast, John Tice, Of
Todd, and Lewis Cleyenger, of
Ayr, Among the Victims.

The threshing machine seems
to be getting IN it's work this
year. and several persons bear
the marks of a too close famih.
arlty with the big machines.
A few days ago, Mr.. Job Clark,
of Belfast township, 85 years of
age had the misfortune to have
one of his hands caught in the
cog-gear of an old fashioned
threshlng machine with the re-
suit that he now has a badly lac
Grated hand.
John Tlce, of Knobsville, who
for many years has run a steam
threshing outfit in the upper end
of the Cove, was, op Tuesday, as.
slstlng in the threshing at Squire
Daniel E. Fore's. By some
means, his left hand was caught
and drawn between a set OF re-
volvlpg cog wheels, and the fin
gers badly crushed. The third
finger was amputated, and he
may yet lose part of the first and
second. While Mr.. Tlce is not a
young man, he is gamey, and we
hope to see him good as eyer In a
short time.
Lewis Clevenger, of Ayr town
ship, Is working with Rowe Mel.
LOFTS big thresher, and Tuesday
they were threshing on the old
Knauff place, now tenanted by
Luther Gordon. A belt becom.
ing detached from the "wor m"
pulley, Mr.. Clevenger was at
tempting to adjust 1t, when an
other flew off hitting him a stun
ming blow across the forehead
causing his eyes to swell shut in
a short time.

A Justices Duty.

The Office of Justice of the
Peace Is just like any other busl
ness, 1t has it's pleas ant features
and it's unpleasant features.
The Justice is called upon to de
eide questions and disputes arls,
ing among his nelghbors, and no
matter how hard he may try, he
cannot decide so as to please both
parties, with the result that the
dissatisfied party and his friends
will blame thes Justice for being
partial.
The Justice is on his oath, and
if he is honest and fair, he must
and will get above his personal
feelings. A Justice, in nine out
of ten cases, would rather dis
charge the defendant than punish
him, provided he consulted his
own personal feelings In the mat
ter, but he must be governed by
the law and the evidence and not
by his feelings. His decisions
may not meet with public. senti
ment and approval, but the ans
wer of good conscience an9 the
consciousness that he has done
right, is better than public sentl
ment and applause.

Farmers and Automobiles.

A great deal has been said
about the buying of automobiles
by farmers, about the extrava
gance of such buying, about the
waste of the purchase money be.
cause 1t is expended for some.
thing that does not add to the
permanent wealth of the coun-
try, and so forth. But it has not
been shown that the farmers
who bought automobiles have
snnk hemselves In financial diff
culties on that account. In that
respect they are unlike their city
brethren, some of whom go into
debt to keep in the fashion. 1t is
estimated that a couple hundred
millions of dollars are spent for
automobiles every year. A com.
paratlvely small part of this
whole Is spent by farmers, and
their share becomes insignificant
when one remembers that the ag
ricultural outturn is worth seven
or eight billions of dollars a year.
The farmers can answer all the
hints and predictions of extrava.
gance In the buying Of automo-
biles by saying that the Ameri.
can public spends twenty mil
lions of dollars O. year for base
ball. That is a dead waste of
money, for 1T does not add dol
lar to the wealth Of the people. 1t
is a good thing to enjoy ones self
occasionally, but the farmer
should have some enjoyment too.
He doesn't get much chance to
spend money on baseball, and II
he likes anything else that's
about the thing he would like.
Anyhow, the more automobiles
the farmers own the sooner the
States will be provided with good
roads.
