The Cumberland Times has an sim
print" expert on its staff. 1t tells of a
"Frostburg nice young man" with
lavender pants, who at "a picnic last
week sat down on strawberry cake
which his sweetheart had carefully laid
on the seat Of the coach. Like the
JOURNAL, he carried the imprint
home and lost his days SPORT Mon

ender pants smelling shortcake "im-
prints is business in which the ex-
pert might get its nose kicked off.
If you would build up town pat
ronize its business. You can. in nine

cheap at home us you can from the
large city houses who advertise so at
tractively in the city dailies.
Repairs of recent break in the canal
were completed yesterday, but no ship

excursions? Awake, freemen arouse

A white SOW belonging to somebody
outside of town has had long picnic
on the streets. The owner has had
sufficient notice, we believe, to take
her home and keep her there. Should
he fail to take the hint measures of
contiscation will be inaugurated at a
very early day.
II. B. Shaffer, of this place, lost a
valuable horse yesterday by death.
