P'eserct"9d Reiic.--At the request
of many citizens the county comm,s-
slonerS are erecting Il substantial pa
vlllon over the famous "Braddock
milestone Just outside our corporate

popular resort.
Nfc O'der. J. j. Miller, of Cum
berland, was in town Saturday in tbo
interest of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, mutual insurance society.
Nearly thirty had signifed an inten-
tentlon of joining, and u lodge will be

Appofntment.-At the November
Communication of the Grand Lodge
OF Maryland, Ancient, Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, held il Baltimore on
the 10th of that month, Bernard Stern,
Worshipful Masterof Mountain Lodge.
No. 20, OF this place, was appointed
Grand Inspector for the First Masonic
District of Maryland, comprising Mt.
Savage, Frostburg, Homecoming and
Barton, In Masonic circles the Office
is justly regarded as one worth having
IN that its bestowment carries with it
high authoritative recognition in the
incumbent of Masonic industry and
scholarship. Mr.. Stern is one of Il
few whoseinterest and requirements in
the work of a Mason merit the honor
and distinction in case where the Of
flee must always seek the man.
Pounding Rev. A. Thompson, pas
tor Of the Presbyterian church, was
pounded" Friday evening until his
pantry was full. Some of the pounds
overshot Is ounces, but the at
tentlon of the inspector of weights and
measures need not be called to it. He
was also given sum of money to buy
some things which even the compre
hensive kindness of friends so good
may have overlooked. All of which
We're worthily bestowed and thankfully
appreciated, as the hand of affliction
has lain heavily on Mr.. Thompson
these many days. 1t is such incidents
as these that make even the unregen-
crate soul rejoice that there is evident
ly a way upward from human deprav-
ity which reaches at least plane far
above the mechanical selfshness of
ordinary life.
Home Enterprise. se.--Said prom
inent man the other day:
1t is astonishing the amount of work John
b. Williams has brought to Frostburg from
the surrounding country, and even from dis
tant points. He is now making a monument
to be erected at Mt. Pleasant, Pa, and has
other orders from remote places He does 1t
10y husting. Now, if we had in Frostburg Il
few more such men we would soon have in
dustral establishments giving employment
to many who need it. Williams makes no
blow, but his example of hunting work and
getting it shows what could be done by others
i'll other departments of manufacture.
The JOURNAL is glad to quote the
foregoing, and to add an expression of
complete satisfaction with a job Of
work recently done by Mr.. Williams.
He is a young man of good taste, who
does his best to please his patrons,
and he succeeds. Hence, he does not
rely alone upon industry for thrift
