VISIT OF A VETERAN Coal OPERA
ToR.-Col. William Borden, president
Of the Borden Mining Company, of
New York, is guest of Mr.. A. G.
Greene, agent of said company. We
believe Col. Borden is the only survi-
vor of the pioneers of our coal trade.
All who embarked in the develop
ment of this region at or about the
time he did are either dead or re-
moved to other spheres of business.
He alone has maintained continuously
a chief connection with the trade,
and his present position with the sub
stantial company he represents. May
he live to pay us yet many more an
nual visits.
THE TINE FOR CLOSING SToREs.-A
movement is on foot in Easton to close tho
stores at shutdown. 1t will be good thing
if this design is carried out, and if the St
Michaels merchants will adopt the same
plan. From the first Of June to the first of
September lamp should never be lighted
i'll any place of business. The days are
long enough to do all the work necessary
to be done, and it is simply useless to carry
the days work into the night. Mechanics
will work but ten hours day-and ten
hours are enough for them to work-and
certainly merchants should be willing for
their clerks to call from sun up to shutdown
days work through the summer months,
and let them have these hot summer even
ings at their own disposal.-St. Michaels
Comet
Which is just as true in Frostburg
as i'll Easton and St. Michaels. Sales
men of Frostburg, "try, try again"
