F. HARCLERODE, JO. W. TATE, Committee A Young MUD of Fine Promise The Bedford county friends of Rev Richard Oyler, formerly of Mann' Choice, will be pleased to learn of hi success as a pastor, as set forth in tin following communication from Tivol to the Pennsylvania Methodist: "As the 3feiftociist is taken by a large number of Methodists of our state deem it advisable to give an accoun of the progress of Methodism in thi little town of Tivoli. The enterprise of building a church here is an accom plished fact.

Oa Sabbath, January 30, the handsome frame structure was consecrated to God. Rev. Dr. Gray, president of Dickinson seminary preached finely in the morning and gave an excellent talk in the evening to a large, appreciative and attentive congregation after the full amount of indebtedness, $375, was promptly raised. "This community is not blessed with a vast amount of wealth, but the congregation responded valiantly to the call of obliterating every cent of in debtednes? on the church, after which it was impressively dedicated by Dr Gray and the pastor, Rev.

R. S. Oyler, preacher in charge of this circuit. This is the second year in charge of this circuit for Mr. Oyler, and we think the second year of his ministry.

He is a graduate of Williamsport Dickinson seminary, under tutelage of Dr. Gray, and a young man of fine promise. He has worked assiduously in the erection of this temple of Bxl, and it is largely owing to his persistent and protracted effort that the church is built. He preaches gospel truths from the pulpit and is now carrying on a successful revival." Samnel Morgart. Samuel Morgart, of near Rainsburg died Wednesday night.

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs Peter Morgsrt ant was born in Friend's Cove about sixty- eight years ago. He was twice married His first wife, Sarah Beard, diet about fifteen years ago. A few years ago he was united in marriage to Mrs Jane McClellau, who, with severa! children, survives him. He is also survived by three brothers and two Perry and Benjamin, of Colerain township Frank, of near Schellsburg; Mrs.

Mary Buchanan, of Iowa and Mrs. Rebecca Evaus, of Chicago. With the exception of few years, when he lived in Cumber- laud Valley, the deceased resided in Friend's Cove all his lifetime. He was farmer by occupation. In politics oe was a Democrat.

EGOLF, Attett: CommiHigiun. 9AUER, auk. FEBRUARY SELLING AT EOPLE good values--not low prices. Prices in themselves are always ofttimes deceptive. A price may seem "extremely low," and still be aa outrageous overcharge.

It all depends upon the degree of quality to which the price is joined. Yalues are what count, and it takes price and quality to make a value. Values are poor; fair and good--poor, when quality is not commensurate with price; fair, when price and quality balance, and good, when there is an excess on the side of quality. Low prices are tempting-but dangerous. When a firm solicits business on the strength of ''extremely low prices," and forgets to speak of "values," rest assured you will sooner or later discover a "nigger in the wood pile." We have no ambition to be known as a "low-priced" concern.

We do assert, however, with all the emphasis that cold type will per- i mit--that we can give you better values at the same cash i prices, or the same values at lower cash prices than any i other house in Bedford County. i You can easily satisfy yourself as to whether these i claims are well-founded by even a single visit to our big i store. g- g- Child Comfort.
