Mountain Resorts.

The Oakland correspondent of the
Baltimore San sent the following to
his paper from here under date of
June -:
The season here has begun unusu-
ally early and the prospect is for the
greatest summer resort business
which has ever been known on top of
this mountain. Quite a number of
those owning cottages here have
arrived. Among them are Captain
McHenry Howard and family, of Bal
timore; Mrs. Fitzhugh Coyle and fam
lily and Judge Shellabarger's family,
of Washington, d. G..
Trout fishing is better than it has
been for many years, and there have
been some surprising catches. A large
number of Oakland people go to the
mountain streams every day and they
are having great sport.
Mountain Lake Park is also far
ahead of any previous season from a
business standpoint. In fact, it is
ahead of where it has ever been on
the LIST of July. Eighty cottages are
already occupied. Eighteen cottages
have been added since last season,
but, Notwithstanding this fact, there
are only six small cottages which have
not been rented for the season.
w. E. Sperry, who has served as
postmaster for many years, has been
recommissiOned for another term OF
four years at Mountain Lake Park.

Who the Editor Is.

An editor is millionaire without
money, a congressman out of a job, a
king without a throne. He constructs
towns without saw or hammer, builds
railroads without spikes or rails, and
farms without a pillow. He is a teach
er, preacher and a lawyer, he sends
truth out to save souls, and too often
gets lost himself. He heals the wound
ed, cares for the dying, rescues the per-
ishing and starves himself when a
ham sandwich would jerk him from
the Jaws of death.-EX.
