ELECTRIC RAILWAY PRcJECT-Our e.
teemed cont eniporary. the Thurmont CLAIR
ION has again brought before the people the
subject of building an electric railway from
Frederick to Thurmont and on to Emmits-
burg. BY many persons this subject is
treated in light manner, possibly believing
that it is dead issue. but We can assure
them that such is not the case, and the
PROJECT is the foremost thought in the minds
of many persons possessed with vim and
energy, and We believe it is only matter of
time until this most worthy project will be
brought to grand contamination. BY
keeping "evcrlastingly at it" is bound to
bring success, and once the road is built and
put in first class running order, the people
will wonder how they ever managed to do
all these years without the road. We hope
no one will be Indifferent about this subject,
but put their shoulders to the wheel and all
push in the same direction and the work will
surely be accomplished Chronicle.

Great incubator-ihat think tank Of ours

grown upon materislized facts, proving its
original vitality and soundness.
Yes; we hit it plumb! The rcjoinder Is all

But he will not seek us when he wants

of journalistic ethics and false syntax that
the new editor of The Guide invades, ., ct
armis his ready appreciation of that fact
does his judgment much honor.
