HEADED OF on the notorious TACT
business, the ANego,alo1a attempts to
twit the style with which one of our
locals was put up last week:
Does not some boarding school girl write
locals for the Frostburg JOURNAL? What
other supposition can explain this;
Spring has put its lovelicst robe of fresh
green upon forests and meadows. The
birds twtter in the thickening foliage over
the glad aspect which nature throws over
all its realm at their tavorite season.
That's what you call fine writing.
Without referring specially to the
fact that the Alega11joa suppressed
the point Of our item by putting a
humorous peroration as serious, We
aver that we have never characterized
our writing, We do so now only to
say it is quite as fine as the follow
ing, which we take entire from the
same issue of our critical neighbor
Croquet parties are reviving, when the
tired housekeeper, the rosy maiden, the
small boy and the big young man built af-
ter the manner of spring chicken, all legs
and little body, can rest from the "hcat and
burden of the day. and have fun.
In all fairness We submit if our
hearty boarding school girl is not as
fine at local chronicles as the Al
leganians spring chicken whose
autographs description leads us to
fear its collegiate digestion was neg
lected, or that it attended school"
minus the boarding % The fact that
the 'spring chicken has matriculated
in "croquet' is something perhaps,
in its favor, that is, if it adds any
thing to the symmetry either of its
"corporosity or its notions of Journal
istic ethics. Skill lis a good thing in
itself, but above this a good croqetist
will derive certain degree of morality
out Of his mallet, ball and wicket. Sir
Walter Scott insisted that his daugh-
tiers should indulge horseback exer-
else, because it would teach them to
speak the truth and deport themselves
becomingly." There is and always
has been hope for the spring chicken"
even if it practices "croquet." But it
must be cautious when fooling around
our boarding school girl, or it Will
get fried.

do you wish to buy for cash or on

the goods and prices on the cash side
are shown, but if it is one who wants
credit he is shown the other side and
