The prohibition party has been
putting in some lively work in
Allegany and Garrett counties.
The principal speakers have heen
MIR. W. Frank Tucker, of Balti-
more, and Rev. j. W. Steel, of Bar
ton. The points at which the most
enthusiastic meetings nave been held
arc Barton, in Allegheny; Friends
vile, in Garrett, and a rousing
meeting of the people in Western
port, Of Allegheny. The speaking at
the latter point, however, was on the
West Virginia side of the river, in
the Piedmont Opera House. Prof.
j. W. Wheatly, the campaign
singer, has cnlivened all these
meetings with prohibition cam
paign songs, in which he makes
many happy hits. The prohibi
tionists expect great gains in West
ern Maryland this year.
This is an age of STIR. Men must
more, and they must make their
business move. The man who
doesn't advertise in the newspapers
is back number. Men regard
him as II curiosity--a relic, and the
boys ask him where he got his hat.
He is behind the times. The race
to which he belongs is nearly ex-
tinct. The advertiser has most of
the business the relic used to have,
and will soon have the rest. And
where will the relic be then? What
can he do but to retire from the
unequal struggle, and join his an
cesters.in in that silent city where no
body advertises that place whose
inhabitants are noted for being
unanimous" and for "lctting well
enough alone!" No trade revolu-
ton is more complcte-none better
established-than the change which
has been worked in the matter Of
newspaper advertising. The mer-
chant who doesn't use the advertis-
ing columns freely is doomed. The
merchant who uses them freely and
| judiciously must reap great re
wards. -Ex.
An organized gang Of robbers
seems to be infesting Garrett
county. About three weeks ago the
night operator in the telegraph
office in Oakland was shot at by a
masked man at 3 O'Clock in tho
morning, but the marauder and a

graph station on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, about nine miles

upon his return he found the Office

only small sum Of money, but
