SIDE DRArNs-Thc water ways on'the
north side of w. MaIn-st., III front of Mr..
Jas. Crccger's and Mr.. Chas. A. Wellers
properties have been properly levcled and
cobbled.
The registration would make 1t appear
that we are losing the population. A glance
at our infant classes In the several Sunday
schools would seem to prove the above
proportion an absurdity.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE ORGANIzED.-At q
meeting of the Democratic Central Commits.
tee IN Frederick ON Monday last. COL L. "
Baughman was elected chairman ind j. Fog-
er McSherry secretary.

RESUMED The Union Knitting Mills OF
Frederick employing 225 hands, after having
been shut down for several months, resumed

crick's chief labor giving-enterprises.
VOLUME XVII.-On Monday last the Fred
erick Daily NeOs entered upon its seyen-
tcenth volume. The Daily Ners is a credit
to its editor and publisher and an honor to
the city. 1t gives the news and does it well
and carefully,
Mr.. w. II. Biygs' creamery at Rock y
Ridge is doing large business. The farmers
in that section realize that in no other way
can they secure an equal return from their
cattle and they stand by Mr.. b as he stands
by them. We believed creamery here would
pay good return on the Investment.
HiCKs.-Four an unusual number Of, Gulf
of Mexico bred storms, havepasscd up the t.
lantc coast thus fall About the time of the
autumnal equinox these coast storms, trav.
cling north, occur and have come to be
known as the Equlnoctial storms. This
season there haye been four. MI of them unus-
ually severe yet all occurring under natural
law cf mctcorology that renders prediction
of their occurrence during the months OF
September and October certainty.
If anything were lacking TO prove the char
latanism of Hicks, his utter ignorance of
these storms as evidenced by his failure to
predict" one Of the four, this alone should
suffice to rob him of the privilege of posing
longer as a prophet. Look up some other
fad, brethren, and put an end TO the waste Of
space on Hicks.
STILL ANorHER-M Maurice Stokes, a
graduate of The CLARION office now EN-
ploycd by the firm of Gugg,nheimcr & We'll,
Baltimore City, is visiting his father here
this week. This is the fourth 'prent that
has been to see US during the past several
weeks. They all come around, set lot OF
type and give us information tina, is valuable
to US.
We are more than gratifed to know that
they are all doing well, much better than
some of their associates who have elected 70
learn other trades, or who, without trade,
have taken their chances" here or elsewhere.
The older ones and some Of the more fortu
nate reach as much as $2J Il week at the very
best others make $ls to $50, while the yely
last one out of the Office has place at $40
They all agree that the opportunity afforded
them by TIE CLARION has probably given
them chance in life not otherwise afforded
them here, all of which, as we have said, is
very gratifying to us.
ONLY MAKE-BELIEvE -Period'cally as
the time for holding agricultural! fairs rolls
around, we Re d In the Frederick and Ha-
gerstown newspapers, presumably addressed
to the managers of the Frederick aud Wash
ington County Agricultural Societies, where.
in it is urged that the conflict Of dates he
remedied for the betterment of the two soci-
cites and for the convenience Of the people.
Many who read believe and all say amen
save the managers of the two agricultural
societies.
AS for lis, We say amen, but we do not be-
lcve; that 49, We should be gratified to have
the dates arranged so that both exhibitors
and visitors could patronize both iairs, but
we do not believe that the managers of either
society so desire it.
On the principal that Opposition is the
life of trade" 80 the rivalry that has sprung
up between the agricultural societies Of this
and Washington counties, particularly and
markedly since the advent ofconfict'ng dates
has been the life of thee two fairs Once
allow the war to cease by the surrender of
either one and the public will lose 'ntei est in
both as the partisan of each will haye lost
his job and footing to WIN will have been a
lost art.
Our edvice to the managers is to continue
to hold both fairs in the same week they
will be better attended as the parlisans of
each will, for the privilege of criticism, at
tend the other at some time during the four
days and the der people have ample oppor-
tunity to do the same.
A BIG BARGAIN-We have Victor
