CONFERENCE.-THE paid visit OF inspec-
ton to our station building at the railroad,
lately remodelcd and enlarged and just COM
pleted. Mr.. H. G. Shriner took possession
on Saturday last of the best appointed, most
convenient and handsomest railroad station
that we have yet seen on the line of the W.
Maryland.
There has been added Ladies Waiting
Room at the eastern end Of the building lex
16 feet; the former room now becomes the
Gents Waiting room 15x16 feet 1.-THE ticket
and telegraph and business office lies be-
tween the two, 8x16 feet, with bay win
dow in front, in which are located the tele-
graphic instruments and from which the ar
rival and departure of trains may more
readily be reported; the freight room has
been enlarged to 24x16 feet, which will be
ample room. This room heretofore was very
small.
Schroeder's Corn Solvent is recommended
by leading physicians for Corns and Bunions.
IS cents.
The Banner asks us what we think of the
article in the Catizen of the 14th inst. and we
cheerfully give our views The article re-
ferrcd to calls upon all the young democrats
in the county to subscribe for the Citizen and
from the reference it makes to the county
newspapers, Republican and Independent, it
can only be inferred that it is desirious that
the people of the locality, that is the Demo.
Gratis should discontinue them and subscribe
for the Citizen,
Now, this is all right; the Citizen with all
other political newspapers assume that read
ers are interested only in politics and as that
assumption is based upon fallacy that is 80
patent as to be ludicrous, we are content to
have the partisan sheets continue their bids
and demands for party support. 1t is their
sole stock in trade in a majority of instances
and it is only the annual reprint of ''See that
every Democrat is registered" "Do not fail to
get every Republican voter to the polls on
Tuesday next" the Tidal Waves, BOOSTERS,
Cannon, Cyclones, Pyramids and general
whoop and whoop-up, that gives them char
acter and a lasting hold upon the masses and
that being the case, it is perfectly agreeable
to us that the thing should be worked for all
it is worth We are at just that much of
disadvantage and necessarily it tlatters us
to know, that our hold upon our readers is
maintained by intrinsic merit and not by
that abstraction, party fealty.
PRESENTATION. The members of the
Lutheran Sunday School and congregation
presented Mr. Van B. Oser with very
handsome, Bible and chair at the
anniversary exercises on Christmas Eve. 1t
was well-merted reward for the untiring
zeal that has been displayed by Mr., Osler in
the welfare of the school and conduct Of the
choir. Mr.. JOS E. Webster, superintendent,
made very pleasant presentation speech.
The recipient was taken entirely by sur
prise, but he mastered his emotions sufficient
ly to make a brief and feeling reply. We
have yet to report the receipt of gift that
has been met with feelings of keener ap-
probation than this one. The popularity of
the movement to secure subscriptions for
the gift, which resulted in the receipts over
running the cost Of the Bible, by the cost of
the char, rendered the gifts more gracious.
Miss Katie Freeze also received n very
handsome Bible at the hands of her class
This was genuine token ofaffcction and es-
TEEN by the young ladies who have been SO
fortunate rs to have her for their teacher.
