For THE CLARIoN.l

MIR. EDITOR -
In reading the columns of the
CLARION, have noticed discussion. pro and
con, relative to a change Of name for your
town. In writing do not expect to spring
anything new upon your readers, but merely
to impress upon their minds that something
more than a change Of name is desired, if de-
sired at all.
1t is not my intention to suggest names
which might be more appropriate than Me.
chanicstown, for l think person must be
very cratic that takes primarily into con-
sideration that the changing OF the name will
bring success and prosperity to the town.
There is nothing in name; and the name is
more able to take care of itself than the town
to take care of its people.
We have always been aware that fogyi
has existed in your town to such an extent
as to injure its prosperity and enterprise.
How many times the business and enterprise
of your town could have been increased shall
never be known until those old togys shall
have been transplanted from this mundane
sphere into the eternal regions of bliss, aud
cntcrprlsing young men come forward who
will invest capital, from which they will re.
alize handsome percentage then, and then
only, will the town I've euterprislng and
prosperous.
One would think from what they hear
that the only industry (?) IN your town is the
one for which there are SO many applicants
the pOst0filcc.
1t can be said to the shame of the Mechan.
lcstown people that they arc no better than a
miscr, who hordes up his money and who
gives no employment to the unemployed
Mechanicstown with all her tcillties for
manufacturing purposes Can bring herself
more in repute this way than in any other
way and with these established she will be.
come the thriving town of Western Maryland.
Instead Of giving land to companies, they
ask an exc. bitant prlceWhy is this
Have they no sense Of enterprise? or are
they more willing to see their youths 60 out
from home with the world to struggle for an
existence-let alone Il living. 1T is high time
that the people Of Mechanlcstown awake to
a Justice 10 themselves and their children and
bring about an enterprise that will be more
attractive than any high flown name for the
town.
Sufficient to say, let the citizens invest
money in some home enterprise, aud see the
town pr ,sper, and, while the present name
is not very harmonious to the ear, more
appropriate and beautiful name could not be
desired.

MUST HAVE Coop RoAps.-What about
=. meeting in Frederick during the winter to
take some action regarding good roads in
this county. Our present board Of commits
sloners have done much In the way OF CIV
ing US good roads. Much more, however,
can be done. Ifall the money appropriated
was honestly applied 10 the roads we would
see good results. In many instances a little
dirt ploughed here and there seems to meet
the desired end. What seems to be the plan
is 10 work out the appropriation. --Citssen.

birthday of Aunt Betsy" Appleman, of
Ml1dlctown:
"Onc day recently Tile Sun contained an
account of the celebration of the birthday
anniversaries of two women more than q
hundred years of age. One of these is Miss
App'cman now living in Middetown, Fred
erick county, Md, born in December, 1901.
1t is almost startling when we consider what
changes this woman has witnessed, what an
important portion Of the history of mankind
her life spans. She has seen the beginning
and the growth of nearly all the appliances
of our modern civilization. When she was
born the Indians were in almost undlsturbed
possession of the whole of North America
except the narrow Atlantic slope. Since
then she has seen thirty one States admitted
to the Union and the population increase
from five millions to siXty.five millions. She
was OLD enough to have voted, if she could
have voted, at all the presidential elections
except those of the first four Presidents.
She was born while Louis XVI was still
King of France and George III King of
England. When Napoleon subdued the re-
public of Venice she was six years old, and
was nine when that great soldier was made
first consul, ard she was mature young
woman of twenty -four when the battle of
Waterloo was fought Her recollection
goes back to the time when the site of the
present beautiful city OF Washington was
covered by a pine forest or fields and
swamps. She was old enough to have mar.
RED and taken her bridal tour on Fnlton's
first steamboat on its trial trip up the Hud-
SON She was nearly forty years old when
the first train of cars ran, and had attained
the age OF fifty three when the first mes
sage was sent by telegraph. The first iron
pillow was made when she was twcnty-nine
years of age, and for over forty years of her
life fires were kindled with finder box,
matches not having been invented.
