confess that they are not overrln with custo

will open and then glance at the columns of

a iuicious line, here and there, brings trade
as some of our business men arc shrcwd
enough to see.
A peculiar result of the extreme hot
weather in this county last week is the large
quantity Of dead fish that have been found
in the Caloc,in creek, near Jefferson. All
along the banks of the stream hundreds OF
fish have been found in dull and weak
condition, many of them dead.

Col John Brooke Boyle, of this city, reach
cd the 18TH mile stone IN LIES journey, on
Thursday, and the event was observed by a
family dinner. Besides the sons and daugh-
tiers and their families living in Westminster,
DR.. John B. Boyle Of Baltimore, and Mrs,
Charles B. Boyle, of llagcrstoWn, were pres
cnt. Colonel Boyle, Notwithstanding his
advanced age, is in excellent health, his
mental vigor is as good as ever, and his
physical condition good.
In the residential portion Of Westminster,
IN the past five years, there has been a
decline IN property. Values and rents have
both declined. Houses that rented for 1928
per year five years ago, are trnanted now at
500, and $3.50 and $500 rents are now much
below those figures Why this is so, it is
difficult to state, for the city in general is as
PROSPEROUS now as cyer.-Adc0cdte.
Quite a cont roversy IS going on III tho
Hagerstown Mail between Mr.. Gambrill
president of the G. & 0. Canal Company and
Mr. Victor Cushwa, Of this place. ltsprngs
from what occurred ut recent conference OF
President Gambrill and three directors on
the part of the canal company, and Messrs
Cushwa, Darby and Findlay representing the
business interests OF that portion OF the cana
between Wiliamsport and Cumberland.
These gentlemen proposed to the canal man
agement to repair and put IN navigable con
dtion that portion of the canal as far east as
this place, they to employ and pay lock ten
dcrs and repair hands, and to reimburse
themselves with tolls to the extent OF thcll
outlay. These propositions were rejected
Mr.. Cambria, stating that there exists nc
authority for handing over the canal III INC
way proposed. AS Mr.. Gamhril has stated
at other times and in other places that the
canal is beyond restoration, we would ASK
that as he has confessed his inability &c
restore it, why not resign Why hang on
and suck what little there might yet remain
or accrue of undivided or unsolcn spol!s?
