weddings and pleasant to see them.
There is no prettier ceremony known
than formal elaborate wedding
when there are bridesmaids and
flower-girls and groomsmen. and a
world of delicate, beautiful blossoms

wives. O deceased. Philkill declar-

that he felt like a boy Of 10.
He was first married 40 years ago,
when he eloped with Miss Marie Con-
roy. He was greatly attached to all
said that they were all in love with
him. His first wife was killed in an
accident about six years later. He
afterward married Miss Anna Conroy,
with whom he lived for a dozen years.
She died of heart disease while they
were enjoying a trip to the Pacific
coast.
Mr.. Philkill remained single for
two years, declaring to his friends
that he would never marry. He did
not keep this resolution, however. as
he again fell in love when he came
here to visit the Conroy family, and
the graves, of his wives, who are all
buried in the family plot.
Miss Lillian Conroy was the next
bride. He wooed and won her during
this visit and she accompanied him to
Baltimore as a bride. This proved
Philkilps longest venture in matri-
mony, as the couple lived together for
Is years. At the expiration of that
time Mrs. Philkill died Of typhoid
fever. Mr.. Philkill remained single
two years, but Cupid possible believ-
ed that he made too good a husband
to be without a wife, the wedding to
Miss Josephine Conroy and the wild
over being the outcome. Mr.. Phil
kill is the father Of three boys, one
having been born to each Of his three

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

"1 have suffered from the same trou.
bic (painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time Of
lts occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
no for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were we'll. The infamma-
ton and s%uppUration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was SO painful that I had to use q
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
Of inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent infiammations resulted in the
loss Of the nail. l had sometimes as
many al three fingers in this state at
n time.
Perhaps ten years later | began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again l tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor Of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that / could not use it.
] began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. l had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as I could. / had not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently we'll. There
was no more suppuration, o infiam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box Of Cuticura Ointment
was all that l used in effecting a
cure" (Signed) Mrs. 7. J. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y. Apr. 13, 1910. On
Sept. 81, Mrs. Horton wrote: Il have
had no further return of the trouble

Mr.. G. L. Rose and VIM. Cook, rep

able location in which to place a dis

mobiles. Mr. Rose and Mr. Cook will
handle the e. NJ. F, Flanders and
Studebaker cars for this vicinity.
Their branch will be part of the
great service department which the
e. NJ. F. company is organizing
throughout the United States and
they will be directly connected with
the Studebaker Company in Portland.
They will have an up-to-date repair
shop which will repair nothing but
cars manufactured by the Studebak-
er Company, that is the Flanders, E.
NJ. F. and Studebaker autos. These
machines will be repaired for the
owner at absolute cost. This policy
has been adopted by the company, af-
ter considerable study, and means
that the owner of one of these cars
will have great advantage in getting
his repair work done, or whatever
work is necessary on his car. Mr.
Rose says they will open their place
of business the first of next month.
At present he is securing the town
for a suitable location.
