Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1878-06-15


milennial season, as it were; and we take
great pleasure in anticipating our many
moonlight pic MICS during the coming sum
mer to be held in gardens and front yards,
where the hop vine twincth and the will
derness smileth and blossometh rs the rose
and where we have perfect right, the law
being now in favor of Us pasturing wher-
ever we can.
Resolged, That we are Communists by
instinct, habit, and now by charter, and
that we utterly denounce good fences and
locked gates as barriers against US which
hedge about the so-called divine rights of
that large, wealthy, and overbearng class,
known as garden owners. 'The earth is
ours and the fullness thereof"
Resolced, That in view of the fact that
Frostburg is rapidly coming INTO notice as
summer resort, and as large numbers OF
visitors are expected, we will do our full
share in making 1t pleasant for them; we
will let them know we are here by the
dulcet clattcr of our bells, and by proclaim
ing that COWS "shall not live by grass
alone" and that in other ways, not neces-
sary to MENTION we will pay especial at
tention to the comfort and convenience OF
the ladies. In conclusion
Res0l0ed, That to the new Council we
donate our cream and butter; to the mem
| bers of the old our buttermilk and whey
Mrs. Redtop moved the adoption OF
| the Resolutions just read.
Miss Mixer moved to amend by
! inserting the words, Free-ramble and
| before Resolutions.
| Certainly" said Mrs. Redtop
"that's what I meant"
| Mrs. Muly was Gin doubt about the
use of the term, "Free-ramble," al
though it was an expressive word, and
meant precisely the dearest principle
in the hearts of all cowhood. Il
| would be better, however, to stick t.
usage and say Preamble"
! Miss Mixer thought, like San
| Weller, that "Free-ramble" wa.
more neater," but she wasn't parhc
ular.'
| The Chair (mpatiently)-"Cattle
are you ready for the question p
| eve are, responded the drove.
| The Chair-"The question is, shall
the report of the Committee be adopt
ed? Those in favor will say aye
| Answered in full chorus, with bel
accompaniment and great swayin;
of heads and horns, and switching o
tails. The cold blooded Mrs. Blue
spot was observed to sidle away from
the enthusiastic gesticulations of Mrs
| Sookie.
! The Chair (menacingly)-"Thos
| opposed will say no.
| Dead silence reigned, and perfec
stiffness, except when the Chairman
threateningly swung her knotted tai
around and knocked the pen out 0
| Miss Heifers hoof. The Chair wa
much embarrassed at this untowarc
| diversion, and suggested that "Mis
! Hoofer should infuse more grip in he
heif.'' Continuing, she announced
that the report was unanimousl,
adopted"
| Mrs. Sookie advanced and Offered
an apology to Mrs. Bluespot for tn
unintentional injury inflicted by he
horn, which the latter gracefully
accepted. While this love-feast wa
| going on night-policeman Price cam
around Snyder's corner. Some on
in indignant tones wanted to know
why this minion Of last years Law
was retained ?"
| The Chair affected not to hear thu
inquiry, and quickly put a motion tt
| adj ourn, made at the same moment
| which was carried unanimously.
A DEsPIsED GARDENER.
