AFTER PASSING YEARS.
McCOnuelISburg Testimony Remains Un'
shaken.

Time is the best tsst of truth.
Here is a McConnellsburg story
that has stood the test Of time.
1t is story with a point which
will come straight home to many
of us.
John p. Conrad, deputy post
master, Main St., McConnells-
burg, Pa, says "For abouta year
| had terrible pains across my
back and | didn't sleep well at
night. | was very nervous, and
when | got up in the morning l
was more tired than when | went
to bed. Finally | read Of Doan's
Kidney Pills, and as others siml-
larly troubled had been benefited
oy them, gave them trial.
They helped m e Immediately.
Before long my back was free of
pain.

After an almost year-and-a-
half's sojourn in McConnellsburg,
MI. and Mrs. J. H. Covalt re-
turned to their farm at Covalt,
Pa, last Monday. While not
strangers when they came to
McConnellsburg, during their
stay they held all their old friends
and formed a host of others all
of whom regret very much to
lose them as neighbors. Mr..
Covalt will be especially missed
in the M. f. Sunday school where
he was a most faithful and sue
cessful worker - developing a
class of 16 into one of 36. VIM.
Sigel and Alonzo Barnhart with
a four-horse team, and Vernon
O'Rourke, Elmer Covalt, Bethuel
Powell and Howard Martin - each
with a two-horse team, came to
town early Monday morning and
took Mr.. Covalt's household
goods back to the farm.

Miss Lillian Fleming, of Clear
Ridge, went to Egeland, North

that outsiders must have Fulton

without them. Hope those Da-
kota blizzards will not blow her
a way, a pack of hungry coyotes
eat her up, nor that one of those
lonesome rangers will carry her
to the parsons and then take her
to his wigwam.

After PIums.

Atlanta, Oct 30-Already those who
would assist President Woodrow Will
son in administering the affairs of
the government are laying their plans
for pulling down some of the plums
which will go with the democratic vic
tory in the national election.
There is scarcely prominent party
man who has not been approached by
numerous aspirants for postmaster
ships, revenue collectorships and 9TH
er appointments that will come under
the new administrator. In nearly ev-
cry town containing presidential
postoffice, candidates are out for the
nice plums therein, and are pledging
their friends.
This condition, which is not believ-
ed to be peculiar to Georgia, is taken
as a conclusive omen that the demo-
cratic ticket is certain of success.
The average fellow with ambitions in
the direction of an appointive office,
has marvellous instincts for foresee-
ing victory.

DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
POLITICIANS WORRIED ABOUT
THE LOCKER cLU5S-oTHER
ATLANTA NEWS.

Atlanta, Oct. 30.-Politicians from
all parts of Georgia are beginning to
wear a worried expression when they
drop in at the capitol for an occas-
ional week-en visit.
What's this | hear about the lock-
er clubs being closed up by order of
the mayor?" they will inquire, or,
Say, is it so that we can't get a
drink any more?"
And then their friends, the club
members, hasten to explain that the
clubs are still doing business at the
same old stand, and Will in all likeli-
hood continue to do business indefi-
, nitely.
1t seems that wrong impression
has got abroad throughout the state
that inasmuch as Acting Mayor Cand-
ler refused TO issue any locker club
permits, they all had to close up.
Such was not the case. All the
Atlanta clubs are still operating as
that the police closed as thinly-veiI-
ed blind tigers. The necessity to
have a permit from the mayor is
new thing, and the ordinance is not
yet actively operative. 1t is believed
that when it becomes necessary, all
the bona tide and honestly establish
ed clubs will have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the necessary authorization.
The only affect the agitation has
had thus far is to cause the clubs to
cease dispensing drinks to their mem
bers on Sunday.

forced to pay demurrage on goods
that they fail to remove from the
cars in specified time.
