an old and highly respectable Mary. |

all Oiu dfIu HIEHIy respectable Mary
land family, died at the same time
and place and with the same fell dis
ease. 1t is said he almost defied the
great scourage. and one day ate freely
of peaches, and in a few hours was
added to the long schedule of deaths
ofthat fearful summer. He was born
at WilliamspOrt, Maryland, and adj
mitted to our bar in 1916 was a young
man of fair talent and character. His
ways and nature were rather exclu-
sive, which prevented his rapid en-
trance into general acquaintance bust
ness. He was not well known to the
writer, What he learned of him
chiefly was through his brother-in-
law, John M. Brewer. who for some
years was quite noted and popular
lawyer. His age is not known, but
somewhere on this side of thirty.
And the last of this stricken group
was George B. Mason Price, the son of
William Price, who was returned to
the legislature a number of times
from this county, and died at Annap-
oils many years ago; and born at
Westernp0rt, in the same county,
and was mainly brought up by his
widowed mother. The scanty wages
of his youthful days were handed
over to the struggling mother for her
support. His education was quite
limited, but such as it was came rap
idly and easily to a quick and suscep-
tible mind. A punctual attendant at
the Sabbath school in his youth, with
the Rev. Patrick HamiIl for his teach
err. Thomas Perry (late Judge Per.
ry) when in his fullest practice saw
the promise in the young man, took
him into his Office and prepared him
for the bar, to which he was admit
ed in November, 1913. He at once
opened an Office in Cumberland and
began practice which was full of
promise, but cut short at the end of
five years, Elected to the legislature
in 1S49 with j. S. Fell, G. H. Kill
dow and Jacob Reel, in 1853 he got
the Congressional bee in his bonnet,
but the Democratic nomination was
given to Gov. Hamilton for the third
time. Gov. Thomas, whose name
had also been before the convention,
became the opposition candidate, for
whom the Wings in the absence of
candidate of their own voted only
generally. The bewitching eloquence
and power of the old governor at
tracted the youthful Price to his stan
dard, but they both went down, the
one to rise no more. His frail ard
attenuated nervous system could not
endure the shock of d efeat and disap-
pointment. He died almost unseen
and alone in the old Revere House.
His fragile nerves were not equal to
his vaulting ambition, He was truly
a victim of the vice of seductive pol
itics. What other name can be ap.
piled to thing that destroys so many
and makes so few? 1t has been for
chilly said that Bacchus. mammon
and politics are the trinity of evils.
and the latter only awaits dedication
with its twin. Price was unmarried
and only about twenty seven years of
age at his death. CLEANER.

Hint TO Uelinauents.

Here is how the Harrisburg Patriot
puts it, to which our delinquents will
please take notice: 1--WE presume
that some people think newspaper
men are persistent duns let farmer
place himself in similar position and
see if he would not do the same. Sup
pose that he raises one thousand
bushels of corn, and his neighbor
should come and buy bushel, and
the price was only the small sum of
one dollar, or less, and the neighbor
says. II will pay you the amount in
few days." AS the farmer does not
want to he small about the matter, he
says, "All right" Another comes
in the same way, until the whole of
one thousand bushels of corn are
trusted to one thousand different per
sons and not one of the purchasers
concerns himself about it, for it ia a
small amount they owe the farmer.
and of course that will MT help him
any. He does not realize that the
farmer has FILTERED away his large
crop of corn, and that its value is due
in thousand little driblets, and that
he is seriously embarrassed in his
business because his debtors treat it
as little matter. But if all would
pay him promptly, which they could
do as well as not. it would be a vpry
large amount to the farmer, and en-
able him to carry on his business
without difficulty"

The father of the young man was
perhaps in the same dilemma with
the father of the late Judge Weisel,
