George W. Sypolt, of Preston
county, came over to Oakland a
week or two ago and applied for a
marriage license, After being sworn
by ClerkTower it transpired that
he and the woman he wished to
make his wife, were both married.
Upon these grounds the slerk re-
fused to grant license. Sypolt
went home a single yet a married
ried man. Truly West Virginie has
some green people and our neighbor
county can produce some of these
"artisans. "
The Garrett Guards, with thirty
two men in line and commanded by
Capt. j. Newman, went down to
Cumberland Tuesday morning to
participate in the carnival and sham
battle. This company is known as
Company B, Infantry, Maryland
National Guard. The Cumberland
News says of it: "The Garrett
county boys showed life and vigor
in their movements and marched
and wheeled in fine style"
The company returned to Oak
land on train No. Z Wednesday
morning.
Some thieving miscreant went
into Miss Lou Thayer's front yard
Saturday night and removed there
from, very carefully, one of the fin
est Towering plants she possessed.
The same person or persons then
went across the street to Mrs. Lough-
ridges garden and broke and des-
troyed all her blooming plants.
Such practice as this is mean
and dirty one and the guilty parties,
if found should be made to suffer
dearly for their low work.
The Methodist Episcopal confer
ence Of Illinois adopted the follow
ing resolutions
First, That we declare emphati-
cally for American home rule in all
matters of public education and the
sustaining Of our public school sys-
TEN.
Second, That home rule in mat
ters of public education shall mean
no interference of any ecclesiastical,
sectarian or sectional organization
in the administration Of our cduca-
tional affairs, and no appropriations
of public money to be sustaining of
schools controlled for ecclesiastical
or sectarian surposes.
The long dry spell in September
was phcnominal, and the absence
of the equinoctial storm has pro-
duced universal surprise. The ques-
ton now is: "What had the ram
making experiments in the west and
southwest to do with it ?" Did the
precipitation caused in the usually
arid places draw sufficiently from
this quarter to deprive us? And
did it so paralyze and astonish the
elements that the winds went west
to look at the curious interference
with natures prerogatives:
Certain it is that while the rain
makers have drawn water from the
skies, in sections where the water is
unaccustomed to be, our usual share
has been denied us.
