In the practice Of fasting the tirst

Improve the Towns.

The Piedmont Herald in it's last
issue calls attention to certain in
dustrial matter which Marylanders
need particularly to reflect upon.
Piedmont is a small railway town
in West Virginia, near the line of
Garrett county, in Maryland, and
the conditions there existing do not
differ at all from those in other
towns within our own state.
Our contemporary's article was
inspired by improvements which
were recently made in the Piedmont
Machine Works. These improve
ments are taken as indication of in
dustrial advancement, and the Her.
aid calls upon the citizens of the
town to rally to the support of GER
tain enterprises which are anguish
ing for funds, and to lift the COM
pany operating them out of the
mire. The company is home con-
cern, all its stock having been sub
scribed in Piedmont, and the argu-
ment is advanced that more of the
stock should be bought in so that
the plant--a manufacturing one
may be enlarged and the works put
to their full capacity.
The point to be urged is that one
Of the most prominent concerns in
Piedmont is owned and operated by
its own people. They have been
enterprising enough to foresee adj
yantages, to organize effort and to
develop a profitable industry III
their own town.
1t is this spirit Of enterprise which
we would see transferred to every
town in Maryland. A few of them
already have it, but many similar
places in our state are sound asleep,
so far as any appreciation of what
ought to be done to build up home
industry is concerned. AS we view
the matter, it is not so much capl-
tai from abroad that is needed az
it is an aggregation Of home savings
and the organization Of company
to utilize what money and labor
may be on the ground. That IS
the first step in the progress Of any
town. 1t is not often that foreign
capitalists thrust their wealth upon
a community too indolent or too
pcnurious to help itself.
This lesson the Maryland towns
need to learn, and then wave Of
material progress viii roll over the
state such as was never seen before,

Ready for Christmas.

Probably not for many years have
the merchants of Oakland had as
large stock of Christmas goods for
sale as they have in this year of our
Lord, 1892. The displays are va
ried and it is certainly very easy
matter to please the most fastidious
of our citizens.
The intended purchaser of
Christmas goods can go into any of
our large stores and find almost
everything the heart can desire.
OF course these larger establish
ments do not deal very extensively
in the toy line but you can go to
the stores where these articles are
the stock in trade and find things
to set the babies (young and old)
wild.
There is no use to go out of town
for your Christmas novelties.
