And notwithstanding as. the
metropolis.
Brevities.
Some of the reasons given by Itelli-
gent citizens for not contributing to
the towns hospitality to the press in
dictate slowly but surely that the raw
material of which silverites and pop
ulists are made is not all dead.
The Board of Health, it is under
stood, is still reducing the number of
hog. pens by persuading people to let
Their pork be raised away out in the
country. Every time hog-pen comes
down the death-rate comes with it.
Notice the postponement of the
Saurbaugh as. Moore sale until the
18th inst.
The new uniforms of gray flannel,
maroon trimmings, have arrived, and
the baseball boys will don them for
the work in hand to day.
There is "Ben Hur" bicycle in
town that seems to be the equal in
quality and finish of any other bicycle
made. There is some difference be-
tween bicycles, but the JOURNAL has
assurances that there is none between
the very best of other makes aud the
"Ben Hur." See advertisement.
Two reasons force the JOURNAL to
defer publication of Rabbi J. l.. Stern's
reply to Rev. A. C. Haverstick until
next week. 1t is long and comes in
late for an issue that must be printed
earlier than usual. By the way, a
prominent teacher is to be heard from
also.
Two baseball clubs 60 to Meyers
dale to-day to play teams of that place
the 'Centrals' and Orioles" When
they get through knocking the dilt
from under that unfortunate town
editor Smith will wonder why he ever
settled so close to Frostburg.
