Mislead and misiniormed by the thrilling
revelations of ambitious detectives, a number
of newspapers haye been imposed upon in
statements relating to the desperate charac.
ter Of the men captured in the vicinity Of
Thurmont this county, accused Of petty
thcving. While there are number Of peo-
pie living in the mountain in that part OF the
country who are Enthusiastically rough and
uncouth, it is not true that they are either
bandits or brigands, and life and property are
to all intents and purposes as safe there as in
any other civilized community. This amende
honorable is due to Thurmont and its excel
lent citizens, at whose expense the Baltimore
detectives haye sought to gain greater glory
than was their due-Ne,os.

SABILLAsviLLE-Ap plea for the old name
What and Director says.
Editor Of Zephyr-In this age of unpatriot
ism, of lack regard tor the old and of clamor
for new tangled ideas, and new nonsense,
there is great disregard for the traditions
and landmarks that our fathers established.
In this age of Illumination by Goldfish stu.
dents the romances that have been handed
down from generation are entirely obliterated
we have the crack-brained notions Of big
headed college graduates as to the beauty
and propriety of things.
And SO it comes to pass that party of
overly educated gentlemen knowing nothing
of the sentiments of their fellow townsmen
as to the beloved name that our little hamlet
has borne for many decades wish to discard
that dear old name and substitute some Latin
term, telling only of the beauty ofthe scenery
without any history whatsoever. Some per-
sons desiring notorietyand lacking the ability
of gaining it by their own endeavors, try to
do so by tearing down the fabric Of others
work.
Sabillasville is an uncommon name, and
that's one reason why it is good one. 1t
is an English name in its present surround
ings despite the tact that the first part origi-
nally came from another tongue. The very
fact that 1t was given by one of the early
fathers gives it beauty that no new tangled
name can ever possess and what more fitting
subject can be found than noble maiden
for an honor such as was conferred upon her.
Moreover what is to be gained by the
change. Another town not many miles
away has tried the scheme, but the same old
ruts catch the same old wagon wheels. The
! same old coal oil lamps light the same grass
over goown streets and it is necessary to
sever the name from the place entirely to
appre ciate the beauty of the former
Our dear old town is beautiful spot to the
eye of her inhabitants, but it's plain, old
old town and we are plain, old people, and tc
thrust some high sounding, new tangled name
upon us would be like compelling an honest
countryman to enter the 400 in New York
The countryman could not be happy and WI
would feel ashamed of our old home places
name everytlme we met a stranger.
1t is Sabillasville. Let it SO remain unit
the crack Of doom.
