THANKs.-The gifted IF. B. Marye," the
Thurmont panegyrist in the Hagerstown
Glo5e, once more tells the readers Of that
widely circulated and excellent newspaper

ed that we shall find It bearing fruit for the

considerable to rebuild. The districts that
suffered the most were Buckeystown, Urbans

TOO late,"-"not enough to amount to
anything, yes, better than nothing"
must have more within week"-such
are the thankless returns that We have heard
rendered the Clerk of the Weather for the
showers of the early part of the week. The
average human gets very much more at the
hands of bountiful Nature than he deserves;
as to thankfulness to the good Lord, a great
deal of it is, we fear, stited form.
NEW TELEPHONE CoMPANY.-A telephone
company has just been incorporated in
Frederick and is ready to do business.
We sincerely trust that it may put the

Hicks said that the warnest weather ofthe
summer would be from July 9th to 10th.
On the contrary We had the coolest and most
pleasant weather of the season at the time.

1t looks rs if Aphy's suggestions about
making permanent provision for camping or
outing parties at Pen.Mar would bring an
early abundant crop.
Two full-slzed plans are in embryo looking
to meeting this much-telt want. Mr.. John
e. Crout, that sagacious and interchangeable
caterer and landlord is thinking seriously of
erecting dozen outing cottages on his land
adjoining the park grounds on the east.
His idea is to put up plain building and sup.
ply them with mattresses, the campers to
find their own bedding. Blue Ridge Zephyr.

Here it goes without saying that no town
Or section of country within the borders Of
our State stands in greater need OF a complete
modern Touring mill of about 30 barrels
capacity, than does Thurmont, Md. Nor
can the wisdom of erecting and operating
such mill here he questioned. Seldom now
a.days does such an opportunity present
itself to capital for paying investment. For
a period of more than seven years have our
farmers, as well as merchants, mechanics
and laborers been deprived the convenien-
fences, accommodations, etc, which a good
mill judiciousiy operated, affords to CON-
mupity ia which it is located. We feel sure
that the entire population Of Thurmont, and
of the country round about, will unite in their
patronage and hearty support Of the mill
