A PLEASANT PARTY NEAR MAYBERKY.

On Friday evening, the 4Lh inst, the hos
pitable residence of Mrs. Fannie Bankard,
residing near Mayberry, was the scene of one
of the most enjoyable social occasions of the
season. Early in the evening guests began to
arrive and continued to come until o'clock.
All were determined to spend happy even
ing, nor were their expectations disappointed.
The program included choice selections of
vocal and instrumental music appropriately
rendered, and amusing games and plays. So
pleasantly did the evening pass, none thought
of the approach of midnight, until they were
interrupted by an invitation to the dining
room, where there was large table laden
with all the delicacies of the season, served in
profuse abundance, to which all did ample
justice. Games were engaged in for time,
when the company dispersed, expressing
themselves as having spent happy evening
long to be remembered. There were about
thirty present.

dents of the various societies regarding the
above matter, and to designate May and De-
tober, as more suitable months for holding
said conventions. Mr.. Queen was also APP
pointed 10 secure literature to be used in the

AGuu Turned,

Under the heading, ''Was a Compile
ment Intended? ?" the Le,7ger INDUCES
the following logic:
Our local contemporary in its endeavor to
discredit the Le,lger's course on the water
question, paid us a compliment that could
hardly have been Intentional. In intmating
that the Ledyer is to receive subsidy our
contemporary must admit that this paper has
great influence III this community. We
would hardly receive a subsidy for nothing.
So that if our contemporary considers us able
to mould the opinions of the people of Frost
burg and influence the votes of the council it
gives us credit for great deal that we do not
claim. But what would the Frostburg
Water Co. want with an advocate when
everybody except two men and a-half in
Frostburg thinks the old water works should
be bought?
The Le1ger strains its ratiocinative
system.
Let us change its remarks to read
In intmating that the JOURNAL was cor
rupted by James b. Groome, or his agents,
our contemporary must admit that this editor
was legislator of immense importance and
gives him credit for a great deal that he does
not claim. But what did James b. Groome
want with the JOURNALS vote when the
lowest ring democratic caucus poll was 20,
and the highest opposition poll was :?
In fact, what did Mr. Groome want
with such a character as the Le,'ge,
depicts in the following paragraph
If our Frostburg contemporary is "the
organ of the coal companies" as it seems to
desire to be called, the companies have a very
unintluential champion. 1t never did the
companies any good.
Nor anyone else.
o, yes it did. 1t has raised fam
lily: destroyed the Knights of Labor
staid in the same Office 20 years, aud
it once employed a young man from
the Eastern Shore, and paid him every
week all he was worth. Thus. in.
cidentally, not Intentionally, it became
responsible for the infiction on Frost
burg of disease whose latest pros
pectus announces that it will still be
sporadic here during the summer and
winter of 90.
That the companies were injured by
the outcome is admitted, and the
Ledger cOnfesses that no one else was
benefited.
The JOURNALS motives in this, as ii
all its projects, was good. Otherwise
its remorse would be inconsOlable.

A Baltimore EeStmS.

Schonfarber, the picturesque master
workman, graphic legislative instruc-
tor and all-round editorial labor swell,
says:
Our friend Oder, of the MINING Journal,
got mad because we did not attempt to answer
each and every one fhis fallacious arguments
in favor of his patrons, the mine owners.
The JOURNAL never gets mad at its
contemporaries, nor anyone else. 1t
has no cause for anger, for it always
oyercomes those who controvert its
propositions, but it never rejoices over
their defeats,
1t might wink the other eye at by
standing editors, but it would be done
in a style that is jolly to the utter
most.
Moreover, the only christian insti-
tuition in Frostburg, exemplifying
the graces. enjoying the comforts OF
religion, and actively at work outside
the church denouncing sin is the
JOURNAL.
