the Lodge Gratifying as tins must be,
there is more satisfaction in the conscious
ness of a great and good work well done,
and the best memorial is the monument
they have erected. We a'e glad to give
the names:
BUILDING COMMITTEE:
George lloskcn, CR0irMan,
Thomas Hill, Secrttoiy AMI Treasurer,
r. W Mason, Henry Robinson,
George Bottincr, Robert Tenant, jun
Andrew Fox.
| Through these gentlemen the members
Of Frostburg Lodge, No. AZ, |. O. o. T.,
have carried oUt Il hope cherished and nur
tulcd alike through unf:,vorablc and pros
porous times They lave earned need Of
/ praise above and beyond any which mere
individual or speculative enterprise would
have evoked, having reared an cdificc in
the interests OF hcncvolcncc as practis, d
and exenplifcd in ODD Fcllowship-on Of
its highest and trucst types. We conGratu
late and applaud them for their noble
work
| Perhaps no member of the Order eX
ccedcd George b. McCulloh in close attcn-
ton, practical interest and constant
assistance in whatever capacity he
was appointed to fill. With men
like him urging and pressing any move
mcnt there is always prospect of success
ahead. We wish we had several such to
lead in the prosecution of other measures in
which this community holds deep interest
The exterior of the structure presents an
imposing appearance from any standpoint.
Wherever Frostburg is visible its height
and proportions make it prc-cmincnt. Its
size is 50N90 feet and thee stories high
from the ground level. One of these, how
ever is "A feet high, and the other two higher
than usual In other words it is So feet
from ground to cornice. Tie front walls
are % inches thick, the front being built of
pressed brick. Each of the four sides are
! marked by pilastcrs, and at the summit Of
each story belt courses extend all the way
rourd--tEc first and third of galvanized
iron, the second of brick. The heavy den
tai and brackctcl cornicc of galvanized iron
also ornaments all sides uniformly. Above
this in front a pc0iment stands II feet high
by % feet wide, cmbclishcd with 4 circle
head window and the |. O. o. f. golden
cmb!cms-"T Links" "Crosscd Gavcls,''
and the "Al-Secing Eye" At the rear
east end corner the huge ventilation and
smoke stack with its heavy sheet iron caps,
is the next most prominent feature, The
roof i, tin covered and painted
Thus closes the best description we can
give Of this important addition to the town
Of Frortburg. No other building equals ii
n sp&c,0usncss and no other can be APP
piled to as many uses 1t is open To trades

. EXCEPT the approaching dedication of
Centennial Hall there is little of local inter
est in prospect This, with the fact that
nothin of moment has transplrcd, makes
our local clumns barren of incident. We
trust, however, the Centennial Hall dcscrip-
Ii will afford some compensation.

will move to the Presbyterian Church
where addresses will be made by Rev. John
Thomas and Rev. T. NJ Davis. This is the
