The following paragraph appeared
III recent paper:
The agitation of the COW question in this
city eliminated Saturday night in one of the
largest mass meetings ever held here. Despite
the down pouring rain II brass band paraded
the streets, followed by procession of men
and boys carrying CowbcllS. The court house
crowded with representative citizens.
The meeting was called to order by the ring
ing of CowbclS and the mayor was made
chairman \ committee of five was appointed
to confer with the aldermen and have the
ordinance giving the cows free pasture
throughout the city rcscinded
We would respectfully commend the
above excerpt to the attention of the
mayor and councilmen of this town.
They have already done much good in
the interest of the peace and good or
der of this community and the people
arc looking with II hopeful and expect
ant eye to see them continue III their
good work of reform and progress.
The COWS ON our streets by day and
by night are nuisance, even without
the bells they generally wear. With
them they are II double nuisance. One
poor mans garden may be eaten up by
another poor mans cows, hence the
poor need protection against the poor
aud the people us IL whole need protec-
tiou against the COW. The aged and
the infant require rest IN their beds ut
night, but who can sleep while COW
rings her bell in the yard or on the
highway. Let the cows then be re-
mittcd to the pasture fields or the COM
mons and let this town he what it was
intended for-the hnhItation of the
people. CITIZEN.

4 Nnisdnce.-We hear complaints
from several citizens of the town Of
the almost total destruction of their
gardens by COWS that are permitted to
rambIe the streets by night. This is
an iutolcrable nuisance and one that
should be abated. If the owners of
these marauding cattle were made to
pay damages in few eases, they
would secure their COWS, thereby re-
lieving the public from much annoy

IT is astonishing to note the large
number of residents of Frostburg and
vicinagc who seem to entertain the no.
ton that they can purchase merchan-
disc to better advantage elsewhere
than at home. This is an erroneous idea,
and one that is calculated to act as a
hindrance to the growth and business
prosperity of the town. 1t is fact
that our home dealers buy their goods
at just as reasonable figures as do those
conducting business elsewhere, there
fore, is it not reasonable to suppose
that with rents from % to 80 per cent.
lower than in larger towns they can
afford to sell as low as those doing bus
mess in other localities The mer-
chants of this town carry large stocks
and as fine a grade of goods as are TO
be found in more pretentiOus towns
in fact their lines will compare favor
ably with the retail houses of the larger
cities-and purchasers can buy just as
cheaply at home as elsewhere. And
when we remember the fact that those
who go from home are necessarily un-
der more or less expense for car fare
or it may be are compelled to take a
long drive to crafty mistaken notion
to say nothing of the loss of time in.
Cured, and then be compelled to pay
just as high for their purchases, We
fail to see the economy in such q
course. With these facts before Us
does it not seem strange that people
will so to neighboring towns to secure

The Glorious 4th.-Next Thursday is
looked forward to rs the anniversary
of our national independence with
considerable interest by patriotic citi-
Zens of all sections of our broad land,
but by none with a keener feeling of
interest than the people OF Frostburg.
The day will be celebrated here in good,
old-fashioned style, with u grand mill
tary parade and tournament, partici-
pated in by the military companies of
Alleyany and Garrett counties, com
posing the Second Battalion under the
command of Col. George A. Pearre.
An interesting feature of the occasion
will be the imposing street parade par
ticipated in by the military, bands of
music, benevolent and fraternal asso-
Citations, fire companies, etc "A shoot
ing match for handsome prizes will
take place at Centennial Park. The
prizes will be contested for by ten
picked men from each of the four com
panies composing the battalion, each
marksman to have five shots at 600
yards range. A fremen'S race with
hose carriages, for a purse, and 2 foot
race by fleet runners Is also announced
as interesting features of the day.
The dancing pavilion on the grounds
will doubtless be the attractive point
for those who delight in terpsichorean
pleasures.
This demonstration IN honor of our
national holiday will be mainly due
to the exertions of Capt. JAS. p. Smith
aided by his fellow members of Co. ID.
We understand that arrangements
have been completed, through the lib
erality of our citizens, for Hospitality
entertaining the visiting military. We
