His Own Wedding Notice And
II Is A Classic

Franklin, Pa, July 23--Describing
himself as "sI old hayseed" and -
writer Of les about his neighbors," !"
Oliver G. sigworth, one Of venango
county's best known farmers and a
country correspondent for forty years,
wrote his own wedding notice, and
sent 1t to the newspapers. II was
his second marriage and his bride is
Mrs. Emma J. Ludemig, who got her
decree In divorce an hour before she
appeared for the marriage license.
Mr.. -Sigworth writes about the princi.
pals Of the wedding as follows:
The bride is as fine as silk, and
Is good cook. though as to this the
groom reserves the right to amend his
petition later. She is tat, fair and 40
and weighs 40, dressed.
Il am not aware that she has ever
figured much in social events and she
Is not a member OF the 400. Nor do
the records show that she was ever
arrested. She has a nice home in
Oil City and her friends think she
is foolish for going out to q farm.
where she will probably have to chop
wood, Wisely, however, she leaves
her home furnished, and II chopping
wood and feeding the calves become
too strenuous she can return to her
home.

Good Time Now
for Blood Health
Warm Days and Proper
Help do Wonders for
the Blood.
: &

A few doses of that wonderful blood
purifier s. 8. s., will start activities In
the cellular tissues OF the body and
soon show decided changes in the skin.
The skin is but fine network Of tiny
blood vessels, and the specific action OF
6. 3. s. Is declared to be pronounced
stimulation Of the activity OF these
cells. Certain II IL that in surpris-
ingly short time any skin eruption
shows a most remarkable change; IT
begins TO dry up; the skin scales on
in tiny fecks, and soon layer OF
clear. healthy and Arm tissue results.
The reason for this is in the peculiar
stimulation of S. s. s., which enables
the cells in the skin to select from the
blood the nutriment 1t requires for
regeneration.
This fact has been demonstrated year
in and year out in a wonderful number
of cases Of severe skin diseases that
had seemed to be incurable.
You can obtain s. s. S. at any well
stocked drug store, If you insist upon
II, but be sure you are not talked into
something "just as good"

FOR GAS FRANCHISE
COMPANY WANTS TO PUT IN AN
Y ARTIFICIAL PLANT.
IL Now Operating Successful Plant
n Msnhsttnn-Wiil Pay Ex'
pense OF Special Elestion
II Abilene Wants Gas

]. ]. Donelan is here this AFTER
noon interviewing the business men
and city officials concerning the
establishment of an artificial gas
plant here. Mr.. Donelan has been
meeting with very favorable COM
ment on his proposition among the
business men here and It is proba-
ble that within short time the
proposition will be submitted to the
people for a vote.
A few months ago this same COM
pany was given a franchise to oper-
ate an artificial plant at Manhattan.
The plant was finished shortly be-
fore Christmas and has been In
operation now for about two months.
The newspapers at Manhattan have
had many fine things to say about
the plant and 1t is giving entire
satisfaction. The commercial cluD
at Junction City has taken up the
campaign for an artificial gas plant
there and is assisting Mr.. Donelan
in securing 500 subscribers for the
use Of the gas. When this number
is secured a special election will De
called for the voting of the fran
chise.
Mr.. Donelan Is willing to put IN
his plant here on the same basis
now in operation at Manhattan and
will pay the expense Of the special
election If the city wants gas. The
gas is used for heating and cooking
purposes chiefly and is used on only
one street at Manhattan for lighting
purposes. 1t will not be necessary
to tear up the pavement to install
the pipe lines, Mr.. Donelan says
The proposition will be taken W
by the Commercial club tonight ano
discussed from all angles.
