Don't be deceived about the chest
paper in the county, The JOURNAL
rarely INDUCES in that kind of ego
tism, though the testimonials to the
fact are numerous and come from
high authority One particularly
from an eminent Cumberland gentle
man, not given to laudation, is espec-
tally appreciated, We are not heavy
in quantity, we admit, but while 9TH
ers are calling attention to subscrip-
ton lists temporarily swollen, we
challenge comparison as to quality of
matter. The JOURNAL deals with
nearly everything going, especially
with topics concerning the develop
ment of the region, new railroad for
instance. And if there was another
road projected and building up be-
tween the G. g. P. and G. G. g. c., we
would favor that too with all our
might,
In addition to the above Mr.. j.
Hill Thompson, of the National La
Dor Tribune, Pittsburg, Pa, reports to
us that in his extensive canvass for
his own paper through this region he
has everywhere heard the JOURNAL
designated as the paper in this coun-
ty.
There is no doubt about this matter,
friends, no matter what stereotyped
nonsense you see Iaraded on the high
est pinnacle Of certain editorial col.
umns, patent or otherwise.
The ROAD TO LoNAcoN1NG.-Mr.
G. BerkebiIe, Supervisor of the coun-
ty road leading from Frostburg to
Homecoming, has done some good work
on that thoroufare, among other
things the erection ofsome substantial
bridges. The late rains, however,
have damaged the road very mater
tally at several points, which will
neceasitate an additional outlay Of
money to make il passable.
1t is to be regretted that The appro-
priation to this much-used and need
ed thoroughfare should be SO made
quste as to make it impossible for the
Supervisor to put it in proper order.
This too, in the face Of the fact, that
the County mas manifested its ability
to do SO by its very munifcient dona-
Mons to some of the incorporated
towns.
DEATH OF Mrs. BARNARD.-We
had intended whiting a notice of this
estimable lady, but contributor Of
her own sex has sent one which APP
pears elsewhere.
The funeral Tuesday at the NJ. E.
Church, South, elected much fearful
sympathy for the friends Of the de-
ceased, and was an emphatic testimo-
NAL Of the universal esteem in which
the entire family is held.
Mrs. Barnard left her husband and
an infant daughter to mourn her un-
timely demise.
