will conclude his all day meetings

success all over his charge. at Bloom

The picnic advertised for Chestnut
Grove on last Saturday did not ma.
teriaIize. Counter attractions at Elk

Miss Camille Hendrickson, of Al
exandria, Va, has received the ap-
pOintment to the Garrett County
scholarship to the Art School of
Maryland Institute. Baltimore. We
do not know who has the appointing
power, but one thing we do know, a
Garrett County youoq lady did not
draw this valuable educational adj
vantage.
Another pointer fer the Garrett
County farmer-the culture of bees
and little attention during the long
summer evenings to a moderately
sized. improved apiary will add a
couple of hundred dollars to the
farmers credit every season and help
fill up many crack and crevice in
farm expenses. Mr.. Sam Harshbar-
ger, of this place, has given bees con-
siderable attention, and uses patent
hive with numerous cross sections
which when filed with honey, each
section weighs exactly one pound,
and it is remarkable with what pre-.
cision the industrious insects fill up
these sections to the required amount.
His stock is imported, all his queens
coming from Italy. He ships honey
as far West as Youngstown, Ohio, in
boxes of his own design, without the
breaking of single cell or section.
the demand has been good this sea-
son and prices ranging high. One
firm alone in Ohio advertised for
5000 lbs. at Is cents a pound.
Mr.. William Price, of Seldom
Seen. was thrown from a loaded truck

oil, laid on the window sill and
thrust through broken pane of the
back kitchen window. Mrs. Fraley
was awakened by the smell of smoke
and the reflection of the fire through
an open doorway leading to her bed.
room. she aroused her husband, and
as barrel OF rain water stood handy.
the fire was soon extinguished, after
burning the sash and window. In a
few minutes more, had it not been
discovered, the fire would have com.
municated with the roof and imper-
lied the lives of both families. No
cause can be assigned for the deviIish
deed as both families are quiet and
inoffensive citizens.
Congressman Rusk, at the Demo.
; cratic pOW.Wow at the Calumet
Club on last Friday evening, said
some things that are especially APP
plicable and appropriate to the poIit-
ical condition of affairs in the Sixth
District. He said: mo one but the
man who has been there himself
knows how little use is an entirely
new member of Congress is at first.
and how experience and long service
tell in procuring recognition in mat.
tiers of practical importance to his
district, &C., &C." This is the Re-
publican belief in the Sixth District.

liable time and money to make
Congressman out of McKaig - two
years or more of time. at a big sal.
