PoL1TIcs grow in interest having

died at O'Fallon, Missouri, Thursday
morning. He spent some time last
spring with his friends in Frostburg,
during which he won the high regard

ian department. His health had
been critical for year past. He
leaves widow to lament the loss of
an excellent husband.
The Pic Mic advertised by our
Lodge of Free Gardeners for last Sat-
urday was a failure so far as the woods
programme was concerned, owing to
the heavy rain which prevailed. They
however met the Homecoming Lodge
at the depot and marched through
town to the M. E. Church where SER
vices were held thence to the Fores-
ters' Hall. Here the best was made
of the unpleasant surroundings.
BY private letter from a friend in
New York we learn that Capt. B. F.
Bond contemplates organizing all
other B. & 0. R. R. excursion during
October for the accommodation of
those who have not yet gone to the
Exposition. This gentleman's care
full attention to those who patronized
his late excursion has brought out gen.
eral comment and all are quite profuse
in their acknowledgements of his kind
ness. We hope to be able to announce
his next excursion soon.
