Hamill, although a young man of
matrimonial aspirations, is a general
favorite and is said to be one of the
most attentive and efficient employees
of the road. He is certainly most
promising young man, and we predict
that before many years that he will be
one of the prominent men of west
Texas. He has the get-up and the
ability in his composition"

the Clerk exhibits healthy state of
affairs and reflects great credit upon
the administration which retired from

this showing is enhanced by the fact

then encase the package in a feather-bed, i.e.,
as lie is awfully afraid Of Frostburg thunder.
Of course we do not mean to predict
that the thunder we saw in our fore
east was literally of the ''Frostburg'
variety, but of the old regulation sort
which scares horses and frightens sem
sitive editors. II was this sort of "em-
pyrean rumbling" which actually came
along Tuesday afternoon and night.
But we would not have learned that it
was heard in Cumberland buG for the
following paragraph taken from the
Meas of Wednesday morning:
The season for thunder showers is ON hand
and we are getting our share.
For further verification of our
prophecy contrast the clear, fine
