Upper Longtown's octogenarian, Mr. Joe S-'ewart, is in the foil enjoyment of his usual good health and strength, which is indeed remarkable for one of such advanced years. War is the all-absorbing topic of conversation among our psople now. There seems to be a mighty feeling of unrest among them throughout the length and breadth of the laud. This feeling is due to several reasons." The American people naturally sympathize with the Cubans in their struggle for freedom, bavins felt the iron heel of oppression themselves, though in a limited sense as compared with the Cubans. Then again the barbarity and inhumanity of the Spaniards is simply appalling to civilized people; indeed it sounds like a tale of the "r??rt acres" instead of bfilontnnor tn the boasted enlightenmeut of the nineteenth century as it docs. Then again tbe blowing up of the Maine in Havana harbor is another insentive to this feeling. The Maine was un^donbtedly blown ud by the Spaniards, at least that is cur opinion of the matter. Whatever else may be said of President McKinley, this can be said, that iu dealing with the momentous questions that now confront our common country he ha3 acted in a very calm; dignified and statesmanlike manner. We trim and feel that the president will use all honorable means to avert war, for it is nothing to be desired. But in case he finds To those living in malarial districts Tutt's Pills are indispensible, they keep the system in perfect order and are an absolute cure for sick headache, indigestion, malaria, torpid liver, constipation and all bilious diseases. Tutt's Liver Pills that it cannot be done wiihout impairing the victim's honor, then let it come. We believe that the citizens of this great republic to-day stand more united than they have ever done befo;e in its history. Woe be to Spain or any other nation that would dare to insult the Stars and Stripes, for the Americans would rally to its support to a man. e. f. d. March 31st, 1898. The strength T^hich comes to us from eating nourishing food is belter than stimulation, became it is new strength. The health which belongs to a strong body, well nourished by proper food {properly digested), is the only health that is lasting. Tt-ia Rhak&r Di gestive Cordial and other medicines is simply that it helps nature to make strength. It does not profess to cure sickness, except as that sickness is a result of weakness cansod by food not properly digested. Shaker Digestive Cordial will relieve the pangs of indigestion, and make tbis sick, weak people as well as if their stomachs had never been out of order. It is a gentle aid to the digestion of nature's strength-maker, food. At druggists. Trial bottle, 10 euta. IIOBIXSON-DEIXEHEY. At Greenbrier Church, April 6th, "Mr. J.

As soon as the Rev. J. D.

As I entered i the hallway of his residence I saw a large table* covered with presents of all kinds, and there was nothing trashy about any of them, fur I made* personal investigation and there was not a present on that table that had not been selected with great care and taste, while many of them were noted for their intriniic value. The next thing that attracted my attention was the table, and I am free to say that I haven't seen one like it in many years. It had everything on it to satisfy the most fastidio s epicuie. In addition to the roasted turkeys in the way of meats, Mr. Robin?on had two quarters of beef and a large porker barbecued, together with a large pot of hash, which was rather unique, and something out of the regular order at wedding suppers; but the good people of this community as well as the visiting friends seemed to know something about good barbecued meat and hash and did full justice to both. The festivities were kept op until a lafe hour, when the company gradually dispersed. Now in conclusion let me add that in deed and in truth all things went "Merry <ts a marriage bell," and we'trust that the pathway of our young friends, may be strewn with flowers and that they may be able to pluck all the roses and avoid the thorns. r.
