Eclat Conferred by a Lie.

The Homecoming Star charges the
Ledger and JOURNAL with "a complete
evasion" of its second-place claims.
Speaking for itself, the JOURNAL
answers-not a bit of it.
The JOURNAL talked of population
and population only.
1t drew no other comparisons.
AS to the census. The figures for
either town are too much involved
with out-of-town enumeratlons to de
termine with exactness the population
of the towns proper.
Hence, with the second-place idea it
is with the Star and Regieao as Napoleon
said of history-"a fable agreed
upon"
'The true poem is the poets mind I;
the true ship is the shipbuilder,' says
Emerson.
So with the second place enthusiasts
at Homecoming. The whole phantasy
is in minds eager for the prima facie.
They have pretext for regarding
Homecoming as bigger than Frostburg
and they give it cordial welcome be-
cause it hatters them. They believe
in the sincerity of the compliment,
no matter about whether it is either
accidental or undersigned. They give
faith to the entire fiction because it
raises them to an unexpected level.
In short, it is lie which suits them
better, perhaps, than if it were the
truth-an element of strength which
would bring no glory to successful
campaign whose war-cry is--"any-
thing to beat Frostburg.'

Rumor has it that preparations are
making to build new brick depot on
the site of the present unsightly struc-

1t is such intelligence that gives

1t is such news that has started the

company to abandon the idea of CIV
ing Frostburg new depot at all.

sent to the Dead Letter Office are ad-
dressed to foreign countries.

dress of the sender does not appear,
the parties addressed are notified that
the package will be forwarded by ex-
press at their expense, or returned to
the sender if they will furnish the
proper address in this country.
With no knowledge of the value of
the package or by whom mailed, the
addressee often declines tc direct it to
