1t Will be Ever Thus

The Frostburg JOURNAL comes out of the
scrap with its city council with flying colors

The Star agrees with more than two

Identified at Last,

The Ledger claims to have awakened
somebody who turns out to be twenty
years in arrears.
This settles disputed question
Is the Ledger's knowledge of day break the
result of instinct or observation
The JOURNAL believes it is the
former, for the Ledger merely INDUCED
a blind propensity to do something
without intelligent aim or object.
Hence, we are glad it has at last
confessed that it is a rooster, four
years old this grass.
And to suggest that if 'Fair Play
is a sportsman of impartial ante
cedents, he should lose no time in pro-
yiding a real worm for the early bird.

Webster's Dictionary is recognized
in the United States as the standard
authority on spelling.
But there is no single author who is
pre- eminently standard on writing
or speaking to the exclusion of all
others.
Correct diction and speech can be

The question as to where Salem is to pro-

BILE cost seems to be virtually settled. The
Lynn and Boston railroad has sunk II artesian
wells in the vicinity of its new power-house
The deepest well is but 40 feet, but flow of
100 gallons minute, or more than 200, 900
gallons day, nearly half the amount requir
ed for the city, has been struck. The water
has been analzyed and found remarkably free
from all impurities. This discovery will save
the city from an enormous expense to increase
the supply.
What is wanted to know here is
how the water was found without ex-
perimentally boring for it?
And where would Salem be now if
the Water committee had told the Fire
Department that "there will be no

An Obituary PROSPECTUS.

The gallant Cumberland Ne,cs rises
with its usual grace and makes a
happy remark which the JOURNAL
reprints with grateful appreciation
A democratic member of the Frostburg city
council, wishing to be particularly severe in
his denuncation of the editor OF the JOURNAL,
reminds him that many years ago he was a
rebel. This would be bad enough if it came
from a republican at this late day, but from a
democrat OH However, he does not get
away with the great paper by any means.
1t was the worst that could be said.
But it is the fortune of the JOURNAL
that the very people who indulge this
sort of thing have either no right
whatever to do so, or there is a
skeleton in their own closets.
But time and nature and the fitness
of destiny are driving them rapidly on
to junction with the troubadour and
mound builder, and the places which
now honor them will erelong know
them no more forever.
