This is new school now progress
ing nicely under the management of
Miss Clara Turney, which opened
October 25th, with twenty-five pupils
enrolled. You may say this is a
school without a school house, it
being now held in an old log house on
what was known as the Bepler farm,
now owned by VIM. and George Tur-
ner, hence the name Turner School.
This place is on the National road
between Frostburg and Gran5sville
and only six miles from the latter
place. \ school house here has been
a long felt want, it being at least one
and One-half miles from any of these
twenty-five children's homes to the
nearest school, and some of them have
passed their tenth year without ever
attending school.
Some time since one of our neigh
bors got up a petition for a school
house. but it was cast aside by our
school commissioners, saying some of
the children wouldn't go anyhow.
Now, it is trite and well-worn say
ing, the proof of the pudding is the
eating of it," and it is now proven
that the children will and do go, and
we do hope the county will provide
us with a school house before another
scholastic year begins, for the old
house in which school is now held is
unfit, and only through the kindness
of the owners of this house are the
children enabled to attend this year.

Mr., and Mrs. Herb Ferguson, of Mt

Prof s. c. Smith, of Oakland spent
Saturday and Sunday visiting Mr.. E.

Quite a number of our boys atten-

a lively time.
Mr.. VIM. Smith and family, of
Hoyes, spent Sunday in our midst.
Mr.. Editor, We are again called upon
to reply to that lengthy epistle, pen
ned by your brilliant correspondent
from Hoyes, who spent two weeks in
deep meditation preparing what he
supposed to be the most magnificent
article ever published in the State of
Maryland, and we fear the long men
tai strain will cause congestion or
advise the board of health to take the
matter in hand, and should he be
placed in a conservatory with plenty
of fish for diet, we think he may in
time partly recover. NOtwithstand-
ing the somnolent condition of rip"
it does not require two weeks for him
to collect his thoughts sufficiently to
reply to that splendid article. The
writer is proud of the fact that he has
a breast sufficiently broad that a
medal or star might be placed there
on, and would not, like his opponent,
have to have his coat stuffed with
cotton or some other material in or
surface on which to place a medal
which would be visible to the naked
eye. We think it is your understand
ing that is impaired Or you would
have understood the meaning of the
two words, viz.-emphaticall denies
There were none refused, as we have
before stated. | have no doubt our
hOnOrs would have been greater, if
that were possible, had | been dis
carded, for have not the audacity to
make the absurd assertion about our
class that you did about the Hoyes
class, viz. that there are no bad
singers in the class. But, notwith-
standing the cracked and impaired
condition of Rips voice, he will
meet you half way any time that
suits your convenience, and engage
in singing contest either for a purse
or nit" and we will select three
competent judges to decide, the loser
defraying the expense of the judges.
Now don't ''crawfish." As for
SLEEPY Hollow ! think that name
was applicable to this place during
last winter, for so far we have found
no evidence except that which leads
us to believe that you were in dor
mant condition during your entire
sojOurn here.

applies to the result of the election in
Baltimore city, the State of Maryland
and particularly in Garrett county.
As Republicans we must concede that
the glorious result in Maryland is
largely due to the Baltimore San and
the independent Democrats, who.
driven to desperation by the mon
s-rous rascalities of the German ring
during the past twenty-five years,
buried party prejudice and voted the
Republican ticket, An old Democrat
who knows whereof he speaks, sums
up some of the causes which led up to
this open rebellion against the bosses
as follows: 'All honest, intelligent
and self respecting Democrats have
been blushing for shame, and smoth-
ering their Indignation for To- these
thirty years on account of the afro
ciOus rascalities of the close corpora
ton created and dominated by that
willy and INSCRIPTIONS master of the
State OF Maryland, Arthur Pue Cor
man. Ever since the days of the nc
torious Gorman-Bannon regime in
the Legislature, when a fifteen per
cent. tax was levied on every bill be
fore is could pass; when George Col
ton carried the green bag and
crushed out every honest Democratic
newspaper in the counties that refus-
ed to kncel and crawl up to the shrine
OF Master German and kiss his BIG
toe, the slumbering volcano has been
accommodating its frey heat until the
inevitable eruption and earthquake
has finally cOme-thanks be to God.
with all his astuteness, artfulness
and admitted ability as an 'organi-
zer,' Mr.. German has over-reached
himself and misunderstood the honest
instincts of mankind, which he is
himself incapable of realizing, he has
gone down to his political grave in
ignominious defeat, disgrace and CON
tempt. Along with him down goes
his old gang of sub bosses and tools
in the counties, and q long suffering
public will proclaim a loud AMEN.

pie

He WiIted.

1t is stated that the marriage cere-
mony of young couple in Tucker
county last week was as follows:
wilt thou take her thy pard for
better or worse, to have, to hold to
fondly guard, till hauled off in a
hearse? Wilt thou let her have her
own wishes, make the fire every day
and help her wash the dishes? Wilt
thou give her all the stuff her little
purse will pack, buy her a little
moneyboa and muff, and a little seal
skin saque? Wilt thou comfort and
support her father and mother, and
aunt Jemima, uncle John, thirteen
sisters and brother?n
The bridegroom face grew pale
and blank, as through the parlor floor
he sank, he sadly said, Il wilt. In
ter Mountain.
This is the first time we have seen
the above credited to Tucker county,
but it has been going the rounds of
the papers and credited to Randolph
county and preacher-editor Kildow
as the minister.

He admitted he could not under
stand how other men who work with
him in the mill at $1.52 day live.
He was also in doubt about getting
his place back in case he did not sue
ceed in his search for gold. 1t was a
question whether he should not
remain where he was, but he was
finally advised. if he was determined
to try his hand in the klondike coun-
try. to start in from the jump as a
Iaborer, always ready to do any kind
of work, especially packing. In that
way he should be able to make wa

budapest, Feb l3.-In the cham Der of
deputies to-day Baron Bant!y, the Hun
garian premier, declared that the report
which is in circulation that the Austro-
hungarian army is being mobilizcd was

ton by the Greek contnons and party 10
delay in carrying out reforms in the adj.

matter against the advice of the powers,

necessity of maintaining peace and the
