A Prominent Frosbu,g Emterpri,

a Prominent FrOsbu,y Enterprise.
On account of its exceeding health
fulnesS Frostburg has always been an
attractiYe place for visitors. Her peo-
pie are law abiding, indusirluu. and lu-
telhgent. Her streets are clean, well
lighted and well paved. Her com
merce is conducted ON Il scale which
would do credit to IA much larger city.
Her business houses are imposing,
substantial and commodlous. Promi-
pent among these is the ''lron Front" D."
II building erected Ey our popular cloth
ier, Marx Winelaud, III 1873, and bear
ing on its cone IN inscription to that
effect. The building is l05 fl. long by
4j it. wide, and consists of two floors
and IL large. roomy basement. The
shelving, counters and stairway are
finished III walnut and hardwoods.
1t has always enjoyed the reputation
Of being one of the most conspicuous
business houses in the town. But it
remained for its present occupants, who
engaged in business about one year ago,
to give it not only "a local reputation,
but by unliring effort, by perseverance,
and indomitable spirit to extend its in
fluence and trade throughout the larger
portion of the county. This spring it
has been cleaned, painted and papered;
neither labor, nor money, nor time
have been spared to make it one of
the most attractive stores to be found
in western Maryland. The stock car
ried is extensive and complete, special
attention having been given to II full
line of dry goods, particularly fine
dress goods.
The second floor is devoted entirely
to carpets, lace curtains, clothing and
house-furuishing goods. arranged in
the most pleasing order. That their
business has been a success is a fact of
which tho least Obseryant are aware.
Nor is i: surprising when we note the
methods which have been employed
The business is conducted on IA strictly
cash basis, the goods are marked in
plain HgueeS aud are sold tu every GUS
toner ut the same price. Every one
connected with the concern is alive
to their business polite, attentive and
courteous. The house is noted for its
straight forwardnesS. candor and relia-
bility in all transactions. One of the
striking features of their business is
the novelty of their advertising, which
is original, extensive and unique, al
ways catching the eye and ear of the
public. Mr.. ID. F. NcMullen. the Frost
burg manager of the company, says
that they are devotees at the shrine of
the printer, and attributes large
share of their success to this medium.
A !! in all, the firm and Its large run of
patronage take II just pride in this
model establishment, whose counter
parts in the State are scarce.

Better sacrifice fancy cooking and decorative
work than lose your child's confidence.
The temperance training to make your sons
and daughters total abstainers must include
scientific knowledge of the effect of alcohol,
which teaches that alcohol is not a food, but
a poison. DR.. Davis, of the Chicago Medical
College, a high authority, says you must
drink several (more than six bowls of beer to
obtain nutritive material equal to what is
contained in one ordinary loaf of bread.
Mothers example must be perfect, not only
sCrupulously abstaining yourselves from par
taking of or Offering the beverage, but from
the mcdicjhm Use and culinary HSf Of intoXi-
eating drinks. Strive to make your home so
lOvcabe that the saloon will not outmatCh its

peach tree; but it is a difficult question
when applied here in our soils, that are
so lacking. Now is the time to commence
fertilizing all our fruit trees, but we must
not overdo it. Too much fertilizing with
ammoniated manures would bring too
rapid a growth, and the fruit liable to
drop. Use potash or wood ashes now,
and the others sparingly until the fruit
ing season is over. ], for my own peach
orchard, have raked fifteen acres Of
clean pine timber and mulched fifteen
acres OF bearing peach trees. | believe it
will hold moisture at the time the trees
need it most, and is a cheap source of ma
nuring, that with an application now
soon OF half pound of potash to the
tree, will be sufficient until the fruit is off.
Then apply any good wood-making fer
tilizer, bone meal, blood and bone, or cot
ton seed meal, and work the pine straw
into the ground to rot, which it quickly
does. And don't forget the pruning
question; let those prune that can't let
a tree alone, but you let yours have all
the leaves nature so lavishly supplies
them with, that they can drink in from
the atmosphere those elements of plant
life that are required for perfect fruit.

How 500, 900 Can be Saved.

A commission man of Boston writes as
follows to one of our subscribers:
'"The orange market is in a sad state
just now, owing to heavy arrivals and u
large proportion OF it in bad order. ex-
pect that this glut will clean up little in
week or two, and that about the Goth
of January we shall see better prices, and
that from the middle to the last of Janu-
airy We shall see as good prices as at any
time before the first.of March ] may be
mistaken as to better prices the last of
January, but that is the way j feel
Nearly all the fruit coming in via the
Savannah line of late has been overheated
and in bad order, while that via all rail
or the Atlantic Coast Line is much better
as rule. Am advising shippers to try
the all rail or Atlantic Coast Line
''What the orange growers need is a
daily orange train,. express freight, to
New York, Philadelphia and Boston, to
be made up at Callahan or Waycross,
and the sooner the growers band togeth-
er to get it, the better it will be for them.
Ii it had been in operation upto this time
the present season, the saving to orange
growers would have been 100000 or
more, in my opinion"

The receipts of Florida oranges to-day
are only moderate and trade shows no
special Improvement. Straight lines of
choice sound fruit of desirable sizes,
brights, are readily placed at $3.50 per
box; other brights $3.50 to 1926, ac-

Russets are bringing at thepresent time
from $1. so to 80 per box, as to size and

Mandarins and Tangerines are very
hard to move at any price, but retailers
will need to replenish their stock soon, and
trust then the present stock on hand will
find more ready outlet.
Few beans are arriving and bringing

How and When to Fertilize Peach
Trees.

The prospects are now very promising
in this part of the State for peaches.
Peen-tos are in bloom, Bidwell's Early
showing some blossoms, with Early Ar
lington and Bidwell's Late buds swelling,
and they, too, will be out by February 1.
With the heavy rains this winter, the
ground is well filled with moisture, which
the peach tree SO much needs at the time
OF making fruit. Then, too, the winter
has been some colder than the average
three degrees below freezing and think
cold enough that it will have the effect
to start the sap in flow at the proper
time with our old Florida peaches and
the Honey, and maybe the Kelsey plum
will get enough OF that frost agency that
it, too, will bear, and they are SO fine
when we do get them. Fought to beable

The foregoing is a simple statement of
the facts. No difference was known in the
crates or their contents at the time of
shipment; from the consignees report, it
is evident that the crates shared equal

A Clay County Episode.

On the 10th or j 1th day of April, 1888,
Warren Whipple, of Highland, in this
county, caused six crates of Strawberries
to be shipped to a firm of commission
merchants of Baltimore. The fruit was
prime, dry-picked and carefully culled,
and the packages and baskets brightand
new, and clean. AS per account sales, the
fruit was received and sold by the CON
signees on April 18th. Owing to previous
transactions with the same firm, Mr.
Whipple had become suspicious as to their
honesty and fair dealing, and in order to
test the matter, three of the crates above
referred to were shipped in the name of q
friendly neighbor and the other three by
his son, George Whipple. The account
sales were received by his neighbor and
himself on the same date, were dated
alike, and evidently written by the same
person. The figures stood thus:
