earning honorably an enviable place in the
esteem of those who know him best and the
newspaper mirrors the man.

Frederick along the F. s E. turnpike surely
promises an excellent crop, possibly not so
good as that of last year, yet not far below it.
The grass crop seems to be well set every.
where, but Is short for the time of year; u
week or ten days or warmer weather would
bring it out rapidly. The corn crop is in the
ground and in many fields the corn is up,

oblging and attentive engineer, its beautiful
engine and well.driled horses Engine house

IT SHOULD PREvAIL.-An organized ef-
fort is being made by our people to secure
the Blue Mountain train ut this point, going
west as well as east. Our people are arrang-
ing, beyond anything known for some years,
for the accommodation Of summer boarders,
here and this tram is essential. We have no
doubt concerning the railroad company's
desire in this matter: we recall the effort
made by the company last season to deyisc
plan to meet our requirements; 1t failed
then but we have even stronger grounds this
season upon which to base our request and
we shall be grevlonsly disappointed should
we meet with no greater success.
| Our people have gone about the matter in
a busness-llke way and we can assure our
people that we have an advocate in the right
place down there and that our belief that he
will bring it out right for us this time, is rs
strong as our desire.
