Presentation.-Th ladies will pre-
sent publicly Thoburn Post, G. A. R.,
with splendid flag at Odd Fellows
Opera House next Friday evening at

expected.
BasebaH.-The Frostburg Gndepen-
dent club went over TO Meyersdale
last Saturday and took the club at that
place at the immense advantage or
disadvantage of fighting the latter on
its own ground. We can't say how it
all was, as the boys tell little. But we
have heard enough to anticipate that
brother Smith will report this week II
for Meyersdale.
The Frostburg and Homecoming clubs
played yesterday at the Band picnic,
latter place. Our edition will be out
before result is known. We predict,
however, victory for Frostburg.
We understand the Orioles of Balti-
more and Homecoming will play in
Cumberland during the Reunion.
The game at Midland Tuesday be-
tween the Midland club and picked
nine resulted: Midland IS; p. n. 6.
Ne,rspapers.--The Home Guard, Cum
berland, the prohibition paper, issued
its first number Wednesday. The sa-
lutatory is moderate in tone but deci-
ded in sentiment.
The Maryland Union, Frederick, ap-
peared this week in dress of new typo
A good paper before, its entry upon
the thirtieth year furnished the editor
an excnse for distinguishing the occa-
sion by some substantial mark of i'm
provement and he has succeeded hand
somely.
Miss Nettie M. Latham, of Atlanta,
Ca, is in town soliciting subscriptions
for the Sunny South. Born in Alabama,
reared in Tennessee and educated in a
printing Office, she has graduated
keen, brisk, industrious lady. Besides
she is young and pretty, altogether
combination of elements bound to win.
Ho,r tt Goes n, the Hooking Valley.
"A circular signed by John Mcbride,
President, and Ebenezer Lewis, secre-
tary of the Ohio Miners Association
at Massillon, Ohio, has been distrib-
utsd quite extensively in this local
ity. It reads as follows, and goes to
show that the people interested are
apprehensive of an experience similar
to ours of two years ago:
The four thousand Coal Miners of the
Hooking Valley, Ohio, are out on strike
against reduction, which if accepted would
reduce the wages of all miners in the State.
The coal operators have their men out in
nearly all large cities trying to secure men to
work in their mines. Two hundred were
brought here two weeks ago They had been
secured under the promise of steady employ
ment and good pay with the understanding
that there was no trouble here. They found
upon their arrival that they had been de-
ceived, and left. We ask, therefore, that all
friends join with us and endeavor to prevent
the importation of foreign labor into our
midst. Ifthis can be done we will spread the
light and help good cause.
Ptcnfcs.-The picnic at Midland last
Tuesday was spirited affair. Quite
a large number were present. Thomas
c. Weeks, State labor statistician, de-
livered an excellent address to meet
ing over which Hon. P. A. Grove pre-
sided.
