PRESENT BAPTIST CHURCH, NEEDMoRE.

ganzatlon, probably, on account
of the nearness of Sldellng Hill
and Tonoloway churches.
About this time, the land along
the road leading into the place
was lald off in building lots, sew
eral new buildings were erected,
and the village took on quite a
boom. In fact, the residents
of the place thought their town
sufficiently developed to warrant
a christening, and many were the
names suggested. "Fairvlew"
was a name that met with much
favor until 1t was discovered that
Pennsylvania already had a post
Office by that name.
1t renamed for the late Daniel
Bishop, a we'll known wit, to give
it a name. He was present one
day when the matter of a name
was being warmly discussed, and
said in his drawing way, "You'd
better call 1t Needmore; for it
needs moro town worse than 1t
needs a name" "Needmore
town" struck a popular chord,
and from that time it went down
on the map Needmore, dropping
the "town" part of the word.
The first store in the village
was conducted by job Hart in
1870. In 1871, Mr.. Hart sold the
store to MIR. Ahlmaaz Runyan,
and in 1872, post office was es-
tablIshed with Ahlmaaz Runyan
as post master. Mr.. Runyan
continued in the mercantile busi.
ness IN that place for more than
forty years, and is still resident
of the village.
At this time Q91D the village
contains about twenty buildings
including 2 general stores, school
house, public hall, church, black
smith-and wheel-wright shops,
grist mlIl, handle factory, marble
works, &c.
There are two clergymen-
Elder Funk, of the Baptist, and
Rev. Powers, of the Christian,
demomlnatlons-and two physl.
cans.
There are IN process of con-
struction modern d elling
houses, which, with good tele.
phone connections with distant
points, and improved mail facili-
ties, lend to the place, an air of
substantial Importance.

Bedford County Dry.

Bedford comfy is now without
single licensed hotel or saloon.
OF the two associate judges, one
Of them is an out-and-out anti
saloon man, and votes against
every application that comes
down the pike, The other asso.
cate Is just as firmly Of the opin-
ION that every man that asks for
a license ought to have 1t, and he
votes as he thinks. The Presi-
dent Judge Is not in sympathy
with the liquor business, and un.
less a man comes before him with
mighty clean sheet, he gets a
negative vote from the President
Judge. Thousands of citizens of
Bedford county signed remonst-
RANGES against the granting Of
licenses, and sent witnesses into
court TO show that those who had
licenses last year violated the law
in every case; hence, at the first
sitting of the court, Associate
Judge Huff voted against every
application; Associate Brlce vated
for every application, and Presl-
dent Judge Woods having the
casting vote, voted with Huff in
every case except that of the
Bedford Springs, which Is open
but three or four months during
the year, and who agreed not to
sell liquor to any person outside
the guests of their own hotel. A
few days later, Associate Judge
Brlce arrived at the conclusion
that if every one else should be
turned down, the Springs had
might as we'll take It's medicine
with the rest, and he changed
his vote. Had the Bedford
Springs been quick enough, and
taken out their license at once,
after the first sitting of the Court,
Judge Brlce could rot have af.
fected 1t by changing his mind.
From this 1t may readily see that
if licenses are to be assured to
applicants, 1t is necessary that
the liquor men must see to 1t
that no Associate Judges are put
on the bench that will vote
against the granting of licenses.

William Hart, brother of Jacob

Runyan, Moses Starr and others
whose foundation of faith was the
good old Bible.
There were few schools in the
settlements in those days, the
terms were short, and the modern
text book, a thing unknown.
Hence, the New Testament was
used almost exclusively as a
Reader.
This Meeting HJuse as church
buildings were called gave to the
pace the name of Hart's Meet
log House. 1t served the pur-
pose of church and school house
until the year 1910 when 1t was
torn down and the materials sold
for $1,000 to Joseph Palmer to
be used IN the construction of a
barn for his son John on the farm
now owned by Thornton Hess.
The congregation from this
time worshlpped IN the school
house until 1871, when a new
frame church building was erect

In 1872 the congregation known
as the Fairview Baptist Society
was formed. The church lot was
decided to the Society by Job
Morgret and Rev. Thomas Rose

In 1908 this building was re-

"ECZEMA ITCHED so
 COULDN'T STAND IT,"

T suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. 1 kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, then I went to a doc tor and got some liquid to take It seemed as if I was going to get bet ter The itching stopped for about three days, but when it started again was even worse than before. The ec- Zema itched so badly I couldn't stand it any more. I went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but 1t didn't dc any good. We have been having Cuticura Remedies in the house. so I decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so got me box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times day. and then put the Cuticura Ointment on The first day l put it on, 1t relieved me of itching so l could sleep all that night. It took about a week, then I could see the scab come off I kept the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured.
 My brother got his face burned with gunpowder, and he used Cuti. cura Soap and Ointment. The peo- pie all thought he would have scars, but you can't see that he ever had his face burned.
