They are telling a good story on
Mr.. J. G. Parrish, one of our popular
druggists. It seems that he went
squirrel shooting Saturday in COM
pany with a lady, who is right smart
of Diana. Mr.. Parrish wandered
around in the woods, didn't see any
squirrels, lost the lady and returned
/ to the car without trying to find her.
And "varmint" in the woods, too. Ac-
cused of the crime, Mr.. Parrish only
smiles and says that lady had good
gun and is more at home in the woods
than any man in town.

HOW cATARRH IS CONTRACTED

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract The Inflammation
of the mucous membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove a
LIES burden. Many persons who
have this Iothsome disease viii re-
member having had frequent colds at
the time it was contracted. A little
forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy judiciously used, and
all this trouble might have been avoid
ed. Obtainable everywhere.

ADVANCE IN PAY GRANTED
TO RAILWAY employees
Telegraphers and Agents on B. and
o. Reach Agreement With Com
pany officers.

BOYDS, Md, September 23.-The COM
mittee of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers. representing the telegraphers
and agents on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. have come 10 an agreement
with the railroad officials of that road
and received an increase of wages that
means about s per cent raise to the men.
On this division, from Baltimore VIA
washington to Hagerstown. the men re-
ceive the per cent and other considera-
fions. Agents who receive over $50 per
month are the only ones in that line who
receive an increase, but all classes OF
telesraphers get an advance without re-
gard to their present salaries. A point
of contention between the employees and
officials of the road in which the officials
denied the right of the telegraphers' or
Eanization to represent the agents in the
wage dispute was settled by tne asenss
receiving the increase. The increase was
agreed uDon to become effective from
August 1. 1916.
G. b. Mullin & Co. of Washington, D.
c., were awarded the contract for the
construction of two important stretches
of road in this section of MontgomerL
county. The first contract was that OF
the county road leading from Dawson
willie, distance of four and half miles,
for $4S,000. The other was the contin-
uance of the state road from Dawsonville
to point near Beallsville distance of
nearly two miles, for s2o.5 The con-
tractors broke ground yesterday on the
state road work. which is to be complet-
ed first.
