BartOn...HSnn.

Mr.. Guy Elton Barton, and Miss
Anna Grace Ham were united in
marriage August l, 1916, at the
M. E. parsonage in Cumberland,
Nd, by Rev. Dawson.
The bride is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Ham, Of Saluvia.
She is well known in the county
as one Of its most successful
school teachers. Two or three
years ago, her father bought the
store at Saluvia and Miss Grace
was appointed postmistress. She
enters upon the duties of her new
life with the best wishes of a host
of sincere friends.
The groom is a son of O. A.
Barton, near Akersville, and is an
industrious young farmer of abil-
ity. Mr.. and Mrs. Barton have
not determined where their fu-
ture home shall be. Both have
interests at their respective
homes which require their atten-
ton for a short time at least.

Received Sad News.

Word reached this place two or
three days ago that John Bishop,
who is on the Texas border with
his regiment, was seriously i'll
with blood poison which started
in one of his feet, and some time
last week the whole limb became
affected, including the hip. His
companion, J. G. Alexander, of
Franklin county, who enlisted
and went with him, wrote to
Mrs. Alexander, advising that
she find Johns parents and noti-
fly them of his condition. She
did so, and Johns father, w. M.
Bishop, of Big Cove Tannery, at
once came to the News office to
get exact data concerning his
sons address in order to get
word to him or to the officers of
the Company and Regiment to
get John home on furlough if he
was able TO travel. Fulton coun-
ty has three sons at the front,
and their friends will be shocked
and saddened to hear Of Johns
misfortune.

Must Pay Two Cents.

Everybody knows that a sealed
letter with a one cent stamp on
it may be dropped into a home
office and it will be handed to the
party asking for it at that same
Office, and if the letter has to be
sent to another office, a two cent
stamp must be affixed. But all
do not know that a two cent
stamp is necessary if the letter
is to be delivered by a mail
carrier to the farm gate.
Let us illustrate. Mr.. Trout,
north of town, gets his
mail at McConnellsburg, and a
letter carrying a one cent stamp,
dropped in at this Office, will be
handed to the one asking at the
Office for his mail. But if the
Knobsville mail carrier is expect
ed to deliver the letter to Mr..
Trout's box at the farm gate, the
sender must put a two cent stamp
on it. or the letter will remain in
the office until Mr.. Trout or his
agent calls for it. The law ap-
plies to all post Offices in the
United States.

Killed A Pheasant.

When Scott Palmer was in
town last Friday, he said that
some one had recently run over
and killed a pheasant within sight
of the store and Post office at
Sipes Mills. For a long time this
summer, the pheasant had been
seen almost daily taking a dust
bath in the road near the store.
The bird was never disturbed and
in this way lost its life through
too much confidence in its human
friends, but it is not thought that
the beautiful bird was killed pur-
posely,

Snakes Bite Ladies.

One day last week, while Mrs.
Emory Thomas, wife Of our coun
ty Superintendent, was in her
garden, a snake bit her on one
finger. Blood flowed freely from
the wound, but she suffered no
pain to speak of. A slight numb
ness was all the i'll effect. The
reptile was killed. 1t was one of
the non-poisonous species.
Last Friday, while Mrs. John
Rasp, of Ayr township, was in
the field bringing home the cows
a rattlesnake bit her on the left
foot just above the heel. Infa-
nation and swelling at once set
in, and DR.. Mosser was hastily
summoned. He rendered what
aid there was, and it is hoped
she will not suffer permanent ill
effects. This is the second time
Mrs. Rasp bas been bitten by a
rattler on the same foot.
Doctors and others report more
snake bites for the summer of
1916 than have been known for a
long time. Some peculiar atmos-
pheric conditions feem to bring
the reptile from their hiding pla-
ces out into the open where hu-
man beings come in contact with
them. One day last week Bert
Doyle, a railroad hand, killed two
rattlers on the east side of Cove
mountain, and on the same day,
surveyor John Taylor killed two
below the old tollgate not far
from where Mr.. Doyle killed his.
Many others have been seen and
killed, Mr.. Taylor wears two
thicknesses of leggings, having
been struck twice this summer
by poisonous snakes. Twenty
two rattlers have been killed this
far by State Road and sawmill
workmen on Sideling Hill. Will
liam Bair, of Green Hill, was
Mortified one morning last week
to find that two big black ratt-
lers had shared his cabin on the
mountain during the night. Billy
sleeps at Green Hill now.

Alfalfa.

We have received a few re-
quests for information concern
ing alfalfa, 1t is getting a little
late in the season to SOW alfalfa
this year. While the latter part
of August, just after a shower,
is the time to sow, there is not
time to prepare the seedbed prop
erly. The ground mustbe plough
ed and narrowed, then after
grass and weeds have started,
they must be killed by narrowing
and this must be done several
times until very little more will
come up. If this is not done,
the alfalfa will surely be smoth-
cred out by weeds and grass.
If you have patch of ground
that has been well cultivated this
summer, say potato patch, and
if it has been lined, you might
try alfalfa on it. Unless the seed
is inoculated, you may have to
try the same piece Of ground two
or three times before it catches
The reason for this is that each
time seed is sown, a little alfalfa
will grow. Then in a year or
two, enough alfalfa bacteria will
have been created in the soil to
enable a full crop to lay hold on
that particular piece Of ground.
Always try the second and third
time on the first piece of ground,
if the first sowing failed. But
the first sowing should not fail
if weeds and grass have been
killed, lime used, and the seed
inoculated. Have the seedbed
we'll settled, and do not loosen it
up very much at the time of SOW
ing.

DIRTY BREAD.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by

Commissioner Of Health.

Even should the process of
making and baking of bread be

reach the consumer. 1t is fire.

for the delivery wagon by hands
that have just swept the stable,
curried and harnessed the horse.
Enroute the driver may divide
his time between the dexterous
dandling Of the dirty reins or
the smoking Of a pipe or cigar
cite. The contents of his wagon
ne delivers from house to house
and from shop to shop with his
hands besmeared with dirt from
the stable, horse, harness and
mud or dust from the road.
If he cannot carry enough
bread in his germ laden hands he
takes a loaf under each arm. The
bread that is delivered to the cor
ner grocer may pass through two
or three sets of hands before it
reaches the children's mouths.
If a servant were to stick
finger in a dish that was being
served you would vehemently
protest but tentimes the careless
ness in the handling Of your fam
ily's bread supply is passed with
out thought. If you have any
doubt as to the accuracy Of the
observations noted above, make
some of your own and imagine the
danger Of the transmission of
disease.
No other food is more subject to
contamination from handling
than the staff of life."

Badly Injured Elbow.

Last Friday, while a hand wag-
on was being brought down Cove
mountain, Duffield Sipes got on
the wagon which was loaded
with wood. In some manner the
wagon upset, and in falling, DUFF
field struck his elbow on the
hard surface of the pike and
bruised his elbow so badly that
it was thought some of the bones
were fractured. He went to the
Chambersdurg hospital and had
the X-rays turned on, but care
full examination revealed no
broken bones. The injury was
very painful. Mr.. Sipes lives
near the tollgate at the east end
of McConnellsburg.

the purity of the water from the

Annual Report, Fulton County.
DIR. NATHAN G. SCHAEFFER,
Supt. of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg, Penna.

SIR =
The following is my annual
report of the condition Of the
schools of Fulton County for the
year ending Monday, July 8, 1916.
BUILDINGS.
We have only eighty-four
school rooms in our twelve school
districts. A few of these being
graded schools, we have seventy
seven school buildings.
Many Of our one room build
ings are old and in poor condition,
but our school boards are loath
to spend much money on them
as consolidation is much discuss
ed in some districts.
The districts of Thompson and
Todd have each constructed one
new up-to-date building during
the school year. These buildings
are very attractive and reflect
credit upon the boards Of those
districts.
Bethel district divided the
Warfordsburg school and estab-
lished in its stead a graded school.
This was a much needed improve
ment, as the school numbered be-
fore division siXty-seven pupils.
The board deserves much credit
for this progressive step.
| had anticipated that Dublin
district would do the same with
the Burnt Cabins school which
also numbers more than sixty pu-
pills. | am informed by the Sec
retary of the Dublin school board
that a petition of the patrons of
the Burnt Cabins school for its
division and the establishment of
graded school in its place is now
before said board of directors.
Belfast district has decided to
construct new school building
at Maple Grove to have ready for
use at the opening of the coming
school term.
During the school year, Taylor
district added several large
porches to their school buildings,
and gave both porches and build
ings a coat of paint. This added
much to the attractiveness of the
buildings thus improved. This
district also is building modern,
up-to- date, one-room house at
Hustontown.

SCHOLARSHIP.

The greatest source of weak
ness in the profession of teaching
is superfciality of knowledge in
the branches to be taught. | do
not believe in the dictum that
some teachers teach more than
they know. In fact, no teacher
teaches quite as much as he
knows. 1t is, therefore, obvious
that any one who has only a
smattering of a subject cannot
teach that subject well. For
this reason | have been most
careful in my examination to Sc
lect from those persons examined
a sufficient number to fill the
schools having the best qualifca-
tions to teach so far as scholar
ship is concerned.
The only means we have in the
county for preparing young per-
sons for the profession of teach
ing is the McConnellsburg High
School and the Summer Normal.
We have previously been getting
some excellent teachers from our
High School, but the course has
been so changed in the last three
years as to make it almost impos-
sible for the graduates of the
High School to pass a teachers
provisional certificate examina-
ton. The schools of the county
are beginning to feel this loss.
EXAMINATIONS
On June 2Sth, an examination
was given to the students of the
Needmore Summer Normal. On
June 29th and Both, an examina-
ton was given to the students of
the McConnellsburg Summer
Normal.
The number examined at these
two places was ffty-nine, of whom
fifty successfully passed the ex-
animation.
At our County Institute, last
December. we adopted in our
course on professional reading,
School Discipline, by William
Chandler Bagley. This text was
not only to be read but to be

j. E. JOHNSON.
John Eric johnson died in Bos-
ton, Allegheny county, Pa, July
10, 1916, aged so years 6 months
and 7 days. The remains were
inferred in the Everett Cemetery
July 22nd.
Mr.. Johnson was born in Swe-
den and came to this country
about the year 1868 and settled
at, Emmaville, this county. He
worked until he earned money to
send to Sweden for his wife and
children. From this county he
went to the far west. He then
went to Everett where he
purchased property and for many
years he had been a highly re-
spected citizen of that place.
ISAIAH LAYTON.
Isaiah Layton, whose death we
mentioned briefly last week died
at the home of his. daughter, Mrs
David Jay, seven miles east o1
Everett, on Thursday night, Ju.
ly 20, 1916, aged 81 years. Flu.
neral was held on the following
Sunday, interment being made
at the Memorial Christian church
six miles east of Everett. He is
survived by three daughters, Mrs
Hattie Daniels and Mrs, Davic
Jay, of Bedford county, and Mrs
E. B. Cornelius, Of Hancock.
