On Friday, January %, 1897, Charlotte, only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis D. Kelly,
aged five years.
MY Lord has need of these fowetets gay,
The Reaper said and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where He was once child.
10, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flower away"
Once again the reaper has come and taken
one of the fairest flowers of earth, tc bloom
in paradise. For those left here, feeling the
agony of bereavement, it is hard to see any
thing but sadness and loss in the death of
this dear little girl, so bright and winning,
so loved by all who knew her.
But, there is another side, which the Heav.
emily Father will reveal in His own good
time Taken from the sorrow and suffering
inevitable to the happiest life, all that the
most loving earthly care could do, perfected
and enhanced is not her future glorious be-
yond our feeble comprehension? So, though
weeping may endure for night, joy will
surely come in the morning, as it has already
done to the little pilgrim whose footsteps
had gone but short way on the toilsome
journey of life which has ended so gloriously
in the sweet fields of Eden.

The w. & u. Electric Railway.

From reliable source we are informed
that the bill now before Congress to incor.
porate the Washington & Gettysburg Rail
way Company, will probably be passed thia
session, and thus complete all the arrange
ments for an electric railway through Fred
erick City, this town and Emmitsburg, Nd.
Much interest attaches to this project, be.
cause of the fact that not only is railway
needed from Washington to Gettysburg, but
because of the fact that our county will be
greatly benefited by connecting together a
number of our most prosperous towns in the
northern and southern parts of the county.
and putting them in easy communication
with the county seat at Frederick city.
From preliminary survey made some
time ago, the route of the proposed railway
will be located as nearly as possible as fol-
lows: Starting at or near the point where
the Sergeant road in Maryland enters the
District of Columbia, a northwesterly course
will be followed to Sandy Springs, Brook
vile, Unity and Damascus in Montgomery
county, Md, thence via Urbana and ljams-
vile to Frederick City, thence via Hanson.
vile, Lewistown, Thurmont, Emnitsburg to
State line, thence to Gettysburg National
Cemetery by the shortest and most practica.
BILE route.
The entrance into Washington city will
be near the present termini of the Metropl.
tan Branch of the Baltimore Il Ohio H. Il.
Although the engineer commissioner has not
as yet fully decided just where it will reach
/ the center of the city, but there Is no doubt
the terminus will be all that could Ike desired
and within easy reach of all the city systems
of railways.
This enterprise numbers among its incor-
porators some of the wealthiest men of Wash.
ington City, and State of Maryland, who
have about completed all of their arrange
ments for financing the road through one of
the strongest Trust Companies of New York
city In addition large subscriptions have
been pledged, sufficient to build and equip
the first twenty miles ofroadway. No doubt
whatever is entertained but that this project
will be pushed to completion provided the
people of Montgomery and Frederick will in
every possible way do their part toward
helping the road on its way to destination,
by granting free rights Of way over the short

The promoters of this enterprise are rail-
way men of long experience in construction,
operation and investments In railroads, who
have taken up the project, solely because
they are satisfied that it will pass through a
country whose people have for years needed
Just such transportation facilities as this rail-
way will give them, and one which will at
once develop an enormous local traffic be-
tween the various towns 1t will pass through
and Frederick city.
In addition, as this railway has the right
to haul freight in steam railroad cars in bulk
or broken lots, it will prove Of the greatest
advantage to the farmers along the line in
enabling them to get their lime, fertilizer,
lumber, coal, ETC., brought almost to their
doors. and do away with the long and tedi-
GUS teaming which has afflicted them for
years.
Unlike many of the railways projected in
the pat, it will not depend solely upon local
traffic in order to exist. Once the main line
is built to connections with steam railroads
at Frederick city, Thurmont and Gettysburg,
an enormous through traffic will at once de-
velop which will populate your towns with
manufacturing plants, and make vast changes
in territory traversed
For years the West with transportation
facilities has had all the boom, but the tide
Of immigration is now turning toward the
milder south, and this road would soon in
