Council erred in distributing the
new coordination" among so many
officers. AS the matter stands nobody
is practically responsible for the towns
records. The clerk. who ought to be
accountable for them, can easily and
reasonably absolve himself from blame
for anything that may go wrong with
them. In one or two other matters
Council has exhibited more haste
than wisdom.
A disinterested view of Charles A.
Sme,tz's status as a Councilman seems
to be this-Mr. Smeltz cannot be adj
judged nonresident as long as he is
here, nor non-taxpayer until Coun-
Gil ascertans through the assessors
that he no longer owns property in
town.
There seems to be some discussion
in the Fire Department concerning the
propriety of a full turnout in Cumber-
land next month. The invitation to
join in the demonstration has been
formally accepted, but many threaten
to remain at home on account of the
unneighborly part played by Cumber-
land last year. The JOURNAL sincere
ly hopes this sentiment will not pre-
vail. Frostburg is pledged to be in
line and Frostburg owes it now to
Frostburg to make as fine and as i'm
posing a display us possible. 1t is no
longer retaliation that rules, but town
pride now commands eeery Fireman to
60 down and take his place in the line
of march. With -sumbers and equip
ment to make a tirst-rate exhibit, we
must not be content to earn second
rate honors.
Since our police officers have showna
design to protect Frostburg audiences
from indecent shows, it is believed our
ladies need not hereafter fear to at
tend theatrical performances. The
Bailiff deserves great credit for his
work last week.
If "Taxpayer' will trust the JOUR-
NAL with his name his inquiries will
be printed and answered.
Many merchant vino prays for
trade every time he goes to church
fails to get answers to his prayers be-
cause he doesn't advertise when he is
out of church.
Both banks steadily growing in the
item Of deposits. Nearly $3l 900 is
pretty good for Frostburg.
Weather delightful.
The JOURNAL started on tour to
ascertain mercantile experience of the
benefit derived from the semi monthly
pay system. Opinion is much divided,
but the number of those who think
sufficient time has not elapsed to note
results is too large for report this
week. The tour is, therefore, post
poned a couple of weeks.
Messrs. C. G. CLANCY & son have
opened u grocery in the McCaughan
building and are exhibiting choice
stock of goods. They are clever gen.
tlemen.
The graphaphone entertainment
given Tuesday evening in the M. f..
Church WAS one of great interest to
the audience.
The county commissioners enjoyed
CD drive over our nearby roads
Wednesday, and those who use the
highways most We're glad to see them.
The projectors of the last amend
ment to the Act of Incorporation
should have included the Bailiff among
the appointed officers. In fact, all
subordinates should be wholly an
swerable to Council for their tenure.

"A Pretty Tribute,

The appended acknowledgment of a
christian lady's gift appeared in this
months number of St. Johns Record,
the organ of the Episcopal church,
this place. 1t is signed by IN. E. 7. -
A feeling of gratitude prompts me to call
attention to the fact that the ground on which
st. Johns Protestant Episcopal Church low
stands was donated by Mrs. Ann Bruce, whose
long and useful life came peacefully toan end
on Palm Sunday
She will be well and lovingly remembered
by the older members of the Church
and community, but | wish to impress upon
those who are not familiar with the early
history Of our Church that we are all in
debted to this lovely Christian character for
the foundation of our present handsome
structure.
This Is only one of numerous generous
deeds so quietly done that few knew whence
they emanated.
Give her of the fruit of her hands and let
her own work praise her in the gates.-Prov.
XXI, 81.
The deceased lady. as is wellknown
In this community, was the elder
daughter of Meshach and Catharine
Frost. the founders of Frostburg, and
the wife of Daniel c. Bruce. in his day
a prominent citizen of the county.
She was born and reared here hence,
it was a graciously fitting act for her
to memorabilia alike her nativity and
christian character in the gift she
made to the church, and it Is fortunate
for her many Surviving friends that
"M. E. T." has so becomingly called
attention to it in the lines quoted.
enthusiastically.
The JOURNAL does net know the
correspondent of the Cumberland
Times at this place.
But as he seems to feel that he has
been overlooked the appended quota
ton from his letter of last Sunday is
reproduced
And the editor of the great and only Min
ING JOURNAL never said a word.
If the correspondent is lady the
JOURNAL is willing to let it go at that.
If a gentleman, he has hardly any
claim to serious notice until he learns
that he must be taken by what he says
and not by what he means.
For instance, a man who writes
yesterday" on Monday and insists
that he is right because he meant
Saturday, is a calendric quantity too
uncertain as an authority in any line of
intelligence. He might now and then
be accidentally infallible.

The answer to these questions is TN
