Why He Quit Drinking.

Indianapolis newspapers tell a
story of why a certain attorney
suddenly quit drinking. With
great liberality he patronized one
saloonkeeper for number of
years. Recently the saloon man
bought a house and lot and had
another lawyer to examine the
abstract for him. The steady
patron resented this and wanted
to know why the saloonkeeper
turned away from his own Gus
toner to give business to a man
who never patronizes his or any
saloon. when | have business

keeper, Il want it done by a

Will Remove TO Hancock.

DIR. and Mrs. W. F. Sapping-
ton, of Webster Mills, expect to
remove to Hancock Friday. We
are sorry to hear Of their leaving
the county. Their going will
leave great big vacancy in the
section in which they lived. The
Doctor will be missed not only by
his wide circle of friends to
whom he ministered when they
were sick, but the social circle
will miss them greatly.
Doctor and Mrs. Sappington
located at Webster Mill thirteen
years ago, and with the excep-
tion of two years practice in the
University of Maryland, it was
the first place at which the Doc
tor hung out his shingle" to in
vite the public to come to him
for relief of bodily ills. Marked
success attended his practice from
the beginning, and it will be with
regret that his patrons bid him
farewell. The News sincerely
hopes tnat the feeling of conf
dence will follow him to his new
field, and that continued success
in the practice of medicine and
will attend his practice.
Come back to see US occasionally,
friends.

A Treat TO Farmers.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Patterson
and their little daughter Isabel,
j. l.. Patterson and their sister
Miss Bess laid aside work on the
farm at Brookside last Friday,
modified" and struck out over
land in tn cir Overland for
Waynesboro to see how that wide
awake town entertains the farm
ers who support it. The party
came home Monday. Saturday
was Farmers Day" in Waynes-
boro, and endless preparation had
been made by the business men
of that place to entertain them
just as we have suggested time
and again that McConnellsburg
should do. Thousands of farm
ers responded and joined heartily
in the festivities. Bankers, mer-
chants, and every one interested
in showing their appreciation of
the presence of the sturdy farm
er, contributed money to the
amount of $500, for prizes for
best exhibits Of farm life. Farm
scenes, by means of magnificent
floats, made up a great parade.
Some of the floats were as large
as the biggest loads of hay or
grain, made so by erecting a
framework on wagons and cover
ing these frames with real grain
on the straw, or by covering
them with hay, fodder, &c.
Milking scenes, boys feeding pigs
with bottles, and, in fact, life in
the country was represented as
nearly true to life, as circumstan-
ces would permit. Many comic
shows" were designed by the
boys and girls, and we
that the town people
were as highly entertained as
were the visiting farmers.
1t was a great day for Waynes-
boro, and we are sure that the
farmers feel kindly toward the
town for having had such a treat,
and the $500 won by the country
boys, girls, men, and women, was
well spent, and highly ap-
preciated by the winners.

a hole in the ground, Stanley
cutting the sod with a hatchet,
and Estelle scraping away the
dirt with her hands, and the lit
tie girl put her hand into the
hole just as Stanley made a stroke
with the hatchet, with the re-
suit that the first joint of the
middle finger of her left hand
was cut off. DR.. j. J. Palmer
dressed the wound and made Es-
telle as comfortable as circum-
stances would permit.

Commencement at Clnrlnpton.

Barnett township schools closed the last
week in March, the last feature of the
school work being the commencement ex-
ercises of the Clarington High School, held
in the NJ. Il, church at Clarington, Friday
evening, March Goth. Although the wealth
er conditions were uniavorabe and the
roads were muddy, large crowd was
present and all join in the same opinion,
that the exercises were fine. The class that
graduated was small, only four in number,
yet each member OF the class did his part
in the exercises in manner that was q
credit to himself and 20 his teachers. The
junior class of 1912 furnished the music for
the evening.
AT eight o'clock the juniors came up the
center aisle and took their places in the
choir. They were followed by the seniors,
who were seated on the right side of the
church. The choir gave a selection, after
which came the invocation in charge of
Rev. d. o. May, pastor of the NJ. f. church.
Timothy Coon was the first member of
the class to speak and his Grafton ON

showed that everyone must work if he
would maintain an existence. Not only
the common laborer, but also kings presi-
dents and ALL are subject to this great law.
After another selection by the choir,
Cecil Fitzgerald gave the class prophecy.
He pointed out the lives of each member of
the high school fifty years from now, in a
way that caused the audience to laugh,
Next Floyd Fitzgerald gave an oration,
He took the class motto "Climb Upward" "
for his subject He took as examples
some of our prominent men who have
reached the topmost round of the ladder
of fame after hard but steady climb,
simply because they had the will and
backed by the help of Christ they made
the way.
Then came the presentation by Zoe
Reardon. She first presented TO the high
school large wall clock bearing the in
scription "Class of19l2' She gave to each
member of the high school some little ar
ticle which was appropriate to each. With
each present she gave some advice, which
was arranged as poem. She also pre-
sented to the senior class of 1913 the key of
knowledge.
The reply from the class of 1913 was given
by Susie Black, who thanked the class of
of 1912 for their advice and help in the past
and promised to follow in the footsteps of
the seniors of 1912. On behalf of the junior
class she wished them all success in their
work and hoped to hear of each one some
day lifted to lofty position in the hall of
fame.
Next came selection by the choir fol-
lowed by the address given by Prof. VIM.
NJ. Stewart, of Slippery Rock. He spoke
along the line of character building. He
gave some excellent advice to both young
aud old and all were pleased with his talk.
Diplomas were presented to the members
of the class by their teacher, Roy S. Braden.
Rev. D. o. May dismissed the congregation.

Big Buck Shot In the Adirondack.

d. p. Webster, Ernest Hendricks
and Clarence Lapp returned Monday
from the Adirondacks with the larg-
est buck brought from the north In
many years. 1t was shot by Mr.. Lapp
and weighed $40 pounds, measured
nearly nine feet from tip Of nose to
tail and had most perfect head, each
antler having five uniform and nicely
formed prongs. The buck must have
been trodding the Adirondacks for
years, as It was without teeth and the
Antlers indicated that he was well
along in years.
Mr.. Webster, who each year visits
the Adirondacks, when he first saw
the deer after 1t had been shot was
so startled at the size of 1t that he
gasped and imagined It was mule.
The guides also informed the Fort
planners that nothing to compare with
1t had been shot in the Adirondacks
during the last decade.-MohaWk Val
