A Pleasant Evening.

On last Thursday evening Super
intendent l.. A. Rudisill. of the
Park, entertained a number of edi-
tors, newspaper reporters and their
friends at luncheon at the lake.
Among those present were Dr.W NJ &.
Frysinger and wife, of Carlisle. Pa. ,
DR.. and Mrs. W. l.. Davidson, of
Ohio; Rev. and Mrs. j. O. Thomp.
son. of Keyser; Mr.. and Mrs. S. T..
Jones, of Oakland; Mr.. and Mrs.
G. W. Conner, of Wheeling; Miss
Hopkins of Ohio; Miss NJ. r. Ped
dicord, Mr.. Thomas j. Peddicnrd,
Chas. A. Tower, P. Il. Kimmell
and Benz. II. Sincell. of Oakland,
and others.
Supt. Rudisill, who is very
pleasant and affable gentleman, had
made all preparations for the enter
tainment of his guests in manner
creditable to himself and to the
Association. Those who went to
the Park Oh the trains were met at
the station by carriages and driven
to the lake. The Improvements
about this beautiful body of water
is something wonderful and per-
son who has not visited the spot
during the past year would be both
surprised and gratified. Where
once was but q pool of stagnant
water one now sees llmpid waters
covering about twenty acres which
is dotted here and there with boats
and merry boaters. The boats
which were made IN Wisconsin and
ten in number, are very pretty, the
capacity being from one to a dozen
passengers.
At seven o'clock luncheon was
served in the boat house and it can
be truthfully SAID that all present
did their duty to this part of the
evenings entertainment. There
were several after dinner speeches.
Those who spoke were DR.. Frysin-
ger, Rev. j. O. Thompson, DR.,
Davidson and Mr.. Il. j. Peddicord.
The party broke up about nine
O'Clock and ali returned to their
homes thoroughly impressed with
the present beauties of Mountain
Lake Park and expressing a wish
for the bright future of the place.

Grand Jury Report.

10 the Honorable tile JHdges ofthe
Circuit COurttor Garrett county,:
We, the Grand Inquest of the
State of Maryland, for the body of
Garrett County, for the September
term of this court, beg leave to re-
port as follows:
1st. That we commenced our
duties on Monday, the 9th inst. and
examined all the witnesses that
were produced before us, besides
summonlng others that we thought
proper to come before us. and after
careful and diligent inquiry and
after examining 103 witnesses we
returned twenty three present
ments. We find that the criminal
business has considerably decreased
within the last year, for which the
people of the county may be con-
graduated. We find that the off,
GERS attending upon our body
attended to their duties promptly,
which facilitated our labors and
consequently shortened the term to
a considerable extent. We believe
that we examined into all the in
fractions OF law within the borders
Of our county.
End. In the further performance
of our duty, we examined the con-
dition of the courthouse and jail
and find them in about as good
condition as could be expected
under all circumstances, except
that we find the jail is too small
and too badly ventilated for the
comfort of these confined therein,
and would recommend as soon as
possible the same be improved by
building a new jail and sheriff S
house. We desire especially to call
the courts attention to the exposed
condition of the jail and the prac-
tice of outside parties communicat-
ing with the prisoners by which we
believe they are very often tampered
with and the ends of justice often
defeated. There should be some
remedy for this evil.
3rd. We also made an examina-
ton of the clerks and treasurer S
office and find the records of the
county kept in good condition and
so far as we are able to judge, the
books of the treasurer s office are in
good condition and the public
money has been faithfully handled
and paid out.
Respectfully submitted,

Advertise at Home.

The editor can always write more
checrfully of the business interests
of a town when his columns are
literally filled with the advertise
ments of the business houses. No
editor can advocate the doctrine of
buying from home merchants, un-
less the home merchants show they
are interested in catering to the
home trade by advertising in the
columns of the local newspaper.
1t is depressing to the editor to find
business men patronlzlng every
advertising fake that comes along,
and at the same time the names of
those business men are rarely if
eyer seen in the advertising columns
of the local newspaper.

A bicIcle enthusiast contributes
the following; Don't dodge bicy-
Gle rider. Posts, trees and telegraph
poles do mot dodge, and only be-
ginners ever rnn into them. If you
see bike approaching and begin
dodging you confuse the rider. He
don't t know where you are going to
land, and there is likely to be col
lision. If you are driving vehicle
and meet bicycle, give the rider
room to pass. He has as much
right to the road as a two-horse
wagon. and If you crown him off
and he Ithereby breaks his wheel,
youa3r liable for damages.
While in Chicago, Mr. Charles
L. Kahler, prominent shoe mer-
chant of Des Moines, Iowa, had
quite a serious time of it. He took
such a severe cold that he could
hardly talk or navigate, but the
prompt use Of Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy cured him of his cold so
quickly that others at the hotel who
had bad colds followed his example
and half a dozed persons ordered it
from the nearest drug store. They
were profuse in their thanks to Mr..
Kahler for telling them how to cure
bad cold so quickly. For sale by

the strongest new financial institu-

that carry it on are responsible

is good association for the in

any other association. 1t is good
for both young and old and espe-
