The Right Way To Live.

A man should first of all learn
to live right. The word "r1ght"
is one among the grandest and
most noble words in the Eng
lish language. Remember that
the road to happiness and the
road to misery follow the same
course. The difference is in the
travellers, not in the road trav-
eled. First of all III life, a man
should put his whole trust in
God, accept Him for his leader
and his guide. This is the road
to happiness here and hereafter.
The next step that a man should
take is to love his fellow man,
speak we'll of every one. Assist
those who are in need. Help
and comfort the weak hearted
consult and advise with those
who have gone wrong, forgive
and encourage them to do bet
ter. Hold no malice or hatred
against any one Cultivate kind
and friendly feelings towards
mankind. Encourage friendly
relationship between all nations,
and strive to cultivate good will
and friendly feelings with one
another. Assist and be ever
ready to help the public cause
which is for the good Of the
whole people. Be ever ready
and thankful to accept good ad-
vice, and strive to act likewise,
Honor and encourage the good
workings of all persons And
love each other as ourselves, so
that when our days are at all
end 1t may please God to call us.

Sang Run.
JOHN SHERMAN,
Secretary of State

The weather is rainy at the present
writing.
The election is over, and after a
hard fought battle old No. 6 came
out on the Lords eide, and gave the
Republican ticket a handsome major
ity.
We are glad to note that the Rev.
ID. H. Friend is able to be out again
after an illness of several weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs A. Il. Fearer, of Terra
Alta, w. Va, were visiting Rev. ID.
Fl. Friend a few days last week.
Mrs. Charles Gribble, of Terra Alta,
w. Va, is visiting her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Frantz, at this place
Mr.. J. Alvin Friend spent a few
days in Oakland last week on Official
business.
Mr.. H. r. Dewitt and wife, of Hoyes
were visiting joseph Frantz's OF
Sunday last.
Mr.. Geo D. Browning, of Friends
vile, spent two or three days visiting
his brother, n. c. Browning of thi
place.
Notwithstanding the inclemenc!
of the weather the singing on Sunda!
afternoon was largely attended. Th
church was crowded to its fulles
capacity. The White Oak Sprin'
class was in charge of Prof. l. F
Groves. The Sang Run class was le'
by Prof. s. C. Smith, of Oakland
Both classes rendered some very es
cellent music, and the only objectio
we can find is that they did not sin
long enough.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
The President Issues Proclamation Ask
ing All to Observe November 25th.


The President Issues Proclamation ASK
ing All to Observe November 25th.
President Mckinley has issued his
first Thanksgiving day proclamation
as follows:
In remembrance of Gods goodness
to us during the past year, which ias
been so abundant, "let us offer uElto
Him our thanksgiving and pay pur
VOWS unto the Most High" UHdef
His watchful providence, industry
has prospered, the conditions OF laRor
have been improved, the rewardsloI
the husbandman have been increased
and the comfort of our homes multi
piled. His mighty hand has preserved
peace and protected the nation. Re-
sDect for law and order has been
strengthened, love of free institutions
cherished, and all sections of our
beloved country brought into closer
bonds of fraternal regard and gener-
Gus cooperation.
For these great benefits it is our
duty to praise the Lord in a spirit OF
humility and gratitude and to offer
up to him our most earnest supplica-
tions. That we may acknowledge our
obligation as a people to Him who
has so graciously granted us the
blessing of free government and ma
terial prosperity,I, William Mckinley,
president of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 25th day of November
for national Thanksgiving and prayer,
which all of the people are invited to
observe with appropriate religious
services in their respective places OF
worship On this day of rejoicing
and domestic reunion let our prayers
ascend to the giver of every good and
perfect gift for the continuance of his
love and favor to US, that our hearts
may be filled with charity and good
will, and that we may be ever worthy
of His beneficent concern.
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
twenty-ninth day of October in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-seven, and of the
independence of the United States

We are having plenty of rain this
week; no doubt by order of the
Democratic committee in order to tow

Miss Maggie Grim, assistant teacher
at Friendsville, was visiting friends
in our town Sunday.
Thomas Flanagan has moved his

George Evans in West Virginia.
Mr. Jonas Frazee, of Pittsburg, Pa,
is still in town. Jonas is one of our

and did a good work for our candi-
dates this fall.
We can see quite a change in the
conduct of scholars going to and from

Our postmaster has been imposing
on the public about long enough. He
had a pile of clay lying in the roat

coal house; now this pile of nuisance
is just opposite the coal house, anC
we would like to see them both re
moved; but will we?

remembered. Mr.. Warner also took
an active part in the contest against |
Senator Wellington at Ocean City |
last summer. These efforts appar-
emily have not decreased his popular
itv with a large element of the party,
and Mr.. Warner is looming up as one
of the probable chief factors in the
senatorial contest.
Acknowledgement Clabaugh and
Mr.. John V. l.. Findlay are regarded
as each being in an excellent position
to be seized upon as a compromise.
Both have warm and active friends
who are endeavoring to turn the tide
their way. Mr.. Clabaugh is regarded
as a leading champion and exponent
of the young Republicanism. Mr.
Findlay's eloquence during the last
three or four campaigns has won hlm
hosts of friends, and his experience in
affairs of national legislation, gained
while representing the fourth district
of Maryland in the House of Repre-
sentatives a number of years ago is
also cited in his behalf.
Republicans all over the State are
deeply interested in the position of
| Postmaster-General James A. Gary
Even should Mr.. Gary decline to enter
the list himself, his influence will be
| felt to a considerable extent in the
contest. If Mr.. Gary has said any
thing regarding his views on the
senatorship, it has been only to init
mate friends. Many people are
inclined to think that he would not
object to exchanging his cabinet port
folio for six years in the United States
Senate. Should he decide to enter
the race some previous calculations
may be upset.
Very little is heard Of Governor
Lowndes' boom. His friends are
probably at work quietly and earn
estly in various parts Of the State
Although the Governor is now q regis
tered voter at Annapolis, he seems t(
be still regarded as belonging t
Allegany county, and considerable
opposition is expressed to having
both Senators from the same county

SOME human jackals invaded a
New Jersey cemetery in the night and
dug up, dragged away and dismem-
bered the corpse of woman that had
been four months buried. This awful
deed defies characterization. 1t was
the work of maniacs or fiends. But
it has been sliced upon by sensational
journals as rare opportunity for
pictorial morbidity, and they have
ever gone as far as to emulate the
CHASTITY work of the grave robbers by
tearing into tatters the reputation OF
the dead for the delectation of the

A Young Mems Club.

On last Saturday evening a mum
Der of the young men of Oakland met
in one of the rooms in the Opera
House and organized club for social
purposes. The organization will be
known as the Orion Club and will

five. The officers elected at the meet
ing were as follows: President, Mr..
Harry Lowenstine; secretary, Mr.
Wallace Mason; treasurer, Mr.. Carl
B. White; business manager, Mr..
Ernest Shartzer; librarian, Mr.. Arthur

Mr.. Harry A. Rasche. A committee
has been appointed which will draft a

w. McComas was rendered a vote of

Mr.. John Shartzer was also given a

charge for the use of the room in
which the club will have its head
quarters.
