A host Of friends We're grieved Sun
day morning to learn of the sudden
death of Mrs. Elizabeth Crump, wife
of William Crump, of this place. Few
women filled Il woman's sphere more
usefully than she. Mrs. Crump was
II years, : months and 20 days Old.
Her husband and seven sons survive,
one Of the latter a helpless invalid for
many years and the object Of her un-
sleeping care and solicitude. She has
done what she could and there is no
doubt she has gone to the house
wherein there are many mansions.

A justice of the peace in Sanders
Vile, Ga, being called upon to per-
form marriage ceremony, is accused
of concluding with:
BY the authority vested in me as an officer
of the state of Georgia, which is sometimes
called the Empire State of the South by the
fields of cotton that lie spread out in snowy
whiteness around us; by the howl Of the coon
dog and the gourdvine, whose clinging ten
drills will shade the entrance to your humble
dwelling place; by the red and luscious heart
of the Watermelon whose sweetness fills the
gizzard with joy by the heavens and earth,
in the presence of these witnesses, pronounce
you man and wife.

the JOURNAL would haye credited
heroship to that chaste and fluent
magistrate, Judge Orville Justice

The JOURNAL spoke recently with
regret Of Rev c. A. Bri;ts failure to
secule Hon. George X. Vending for
one of the series of lectures tins win
ter. Weddings power as an orator
is said to be wonderful, and that he
should be in constant demand is II
matter of course. An instance Is given
in newspaper account Of his lecture
on "Stonewall Jackson" delivered
some time ago in Kansas city, Mo.
Bee, driven back by the Union ad
vance, implored his men to
Rally behind the Nirginians! there stands
jackson like stone wall
"a man in the gallery rose, his face on fire
with emotion, and shouted
Glory to God,

the man seized his hat and sent it sailing over
the audience, and in an instant, to quote the
time -honored phrase, ''pandemonium reign
ed." For five minutes the audience cheered
and yelled with vigor that ratified both
Vending and the windows.
Weddings lecture on jackson would
probably not be popular here, but he
has others, any one Of which would
take this community by storm.

The game given to Homecoming last
week was due to Prices inability to
hold Hollis ball.
SO Frostburg sent to Johnstown for
Swink, who came on time to take part
in the second exhibition game which
Frostburg deigned to afford Lonacon-
ing on Wednesday. The game went
pretty evenly past the middle inning,
the contest being a pitchers battle.
Frostburg at last won IA run, and then
two. Here they rested, not desiring
to plank the woes of encouragement
down too hard on the visitors Then
Homecoming somehow stole run. and
eventually two more, making a tie.
The ninth inning came on and passed.
Still a tie. SO with the tenth. In the
eleventh, however, the umpire, Scott
Kelso, of Cumberland, not hearing the
bat strike foul, allowed Lonaconlng
another run. The true score is:
LonacOnlng.. g................. ............. -
That it was a foul is beyond all
question, but the noise made by the
friends Of the FrostbGrg club drowned
the sound of the strike. Tothose near
by, however, both sound and sight
proved it Il foul. Swink not only 50
treated it, but Bakers manner Of
running to the plate under Goa aching
showed that he regarded it as IL foul.
The game was the best ever played
in Frostburg probably in the county.
Homecoming is Just near enough being
a good second to Frostburg to make Il
contest between the two quite in
teresting.
