DKLTH OF CORNELIUS BLACK On Satur.
day, May ii, 1898, on Owens Creek near
Grac~ham. c. H. Black died, aged CT years,
months and &c days.
Cornelius Henry Black was the son of
Henry and Ann Black and was born in
Frederick County, on January 10, 1881 .
In November 1855. he married Amelia
Young, whom, together with four sons and
five daughters and a brother Judge VIM J
Black Of this place, survive him. His entire
life was spent in this vicinity, being engaged
during the greater part of II in farming, and
for several years was resident Of this town.
His funeral took place on Tuesday from
ST Johns Lutheran church, Rev. j II Barb OF
SelinsgIOve, n former pastor, officiating. In
tcrmcnt in the U B Cemetery.
Mr. Black WAS an Industrious, quiet and
unassuming man, and when once met was
always afterward liked. lie connected him
self with st Johns Lutheran church during
the earlier part of his life, aud it can be SAID
of HIM as one of very few men that he was
honest from principle and not any mercenary
object. In middle life he suffered an attack
of pneumonia, from which he meyer fully
recovered and several years ago he suffered
another attack which left him broken in
health and finally resulted in tuberculosis
which caused his death.

ADDITIONAL MACHINERY. The Crescite
Excelsior Company has placed six new ma
chimes in their factory thus doubling its
capacity. They have also put in recently a
fifty horse power engine. Some of the finest
excelsior that we have ever seen is being
manufactured bv the Crescite Company.
HA1L.-Reports are coming in of fall of
hail, more or less severe, at points in the
county on Monday last.
In Baltimore City it wrought havoc with
greenhouse glass and the many flags that
were unfurlcd.
Reports frsm Rock vile, Montgomery Co.,
state that great damage was done to the
growing crops. In some parts Of the county
the wheat was cut of as neat as if done by a
machine.
NERVE WRAcKINa On Monday after
noon last freight tram, too long for the
siding, arrived here on the time of the S:16
passenger train east and the latter was re.
CURED to take the siding to allow the freight
train to pass. After the passenger train had
pulled into the siding and stopped, a lady
got of the train and started leisurcy to cross
the main track in front Of the approaching
freight. She cid not see the latter and stop.
ped on the track to look around; the escaping
steam drowned the sound OF the approaching
train and 1t looked as though she would
certainly be run down by the freight engine.
The frantic shouts and signals Of the SWITCH
man attracted her attention only in time to
save her; she stepped off the track to the
platform, apparently the least concerned
person thereabouts
DoN'r LIKE IT.-Somebody in moment
OF unfortunate inspiration spoke OF the
American Flag as "Old Glory" and what We
feel to be depraved taste has made fad Of
the expression. As for US, We prefer The
American Flag" to any other expression.
The "Stsr Spanglcd Banner" and the Red,
White and Blue" for sentiment-"Thc Amer.
lean Fling" for dignity: expressive and i'm
pressivc, these honored entitings will wear.
while that OF "Old Glory" will wear out. 1t
has nothing to recommend it and it smacks
too much of "old Frederick County"-"the
Democratic Party"-"the old Republican
Party''-of which we hear so much when
politicians grow eloquent in a word, We
don't like the expression, nor do we believe
that il will ever replace the time honored
titles that the Nation loved and adopted
during times that tried mems souls.
