everything desirable for snug and happy

tensive patronage.
The Junior partner is Mr. Francis c..
Sharrer, like his father native of Car
roll, whose. skill as an embalmer is so well
known that comment is almost superhuous.
In connection with the furniture business,
the firm conducts the work of ''undertak

two handsome funeral cars and he is an
expert embalmer of the dead, having taken
lessons from Prof Sullivan, one of the
most experienced embalmers in the coun-

The special aptitude for business which
has marked the lives of these gentlemen
so long, is not their sole badge of merit,
for amid the cares of their calling, thew

SHARPER e. GORSUCH.
Leading Clothiers and Merchant

Prominent among other things West
minister is noted for the taste displayed in
the attire of its gentlemen. For this de-
sirable condition of things it is largely in
debted to the energy and skill of Messrs.
Sharer and Gorsuch, whose excellent
clothing and tailoring establishment is con-
veniently located at 20 East Main street.
These gentlemen conduct one of the largest
tailoring establishments in Carroll county,
and carry constantly in stock a very choice
assortment of cassimeres and other desira-
BILE fabrics of both domestic and foreign
manufacture, embracing the latest styles OF
patterns and tints in the finest qualities.
The firm was founded at the present loca-
ton two years ago, both of the partners

M. w. BABYLON.

In the commercial circles of any city no
one is Of more vital importance than the
successful and reliable grocer. He who
deals in pure articles of food, keeps fresh
stock on hand always, and is able to detect
the adulterated substances while refusing
to sell them. Such man should receive
the hearty support of every wise house
keeper, for ''health is happiness and
upon the grocer depends not little the
health of the household.
The stand where Mr.. Mordecai W
Babylon plies his avocation, Is East Main
street, was founded many years ago BY
Mr.. Haines, but its present proprietor
came into possession of the premises in
1889 and has since conducted the busi-
ness. He has constantly on sale the finest
brands of teas and coffees, all fancy and
staple groceries, the best family flour.
wines, ETC., at prices as cheap as it is
possible to find them. He also conducts
bar in the rear Of the store where the
purest brands of liquors are dispensed, and
his whole establishment wears neat and
attractive appearance something that APP
peals to all persons of taste or refinement.
One Of the features of his business which
all customers appreciate is .sfree de-
livery system, by which anything the
buyer purchases is sent home in the gro
GERS wagon, which thus runs daily for the
peoples accommodation.
Mr.. Babylon is product Of Carroll
county and possesses the courtesy, genial
temperament and honor for which this
section is famous. He belongs to the Re
formed Church and has fine residence at
48 Pennsylvania Avenue.

JOSEPH D. BROOKS.
Popular Register of Wills.

Law as the subject matter of jurispru-
dence, is the body of rules regulating the
relative rights and duties of men in society,
declared and politically enforced by public
authority and represented by men chosen
for their ability As one of its ablest ex-
ponents, the subject of this notice,
Mr.. Joseph D. Brooks takes an honorable
position, having been member of the
Westminster Bar since the May term of
1885 1t is hard to realize the wide field
of study and research which the law pres
ents to its opponents and it is only men of
aptitude that ever attain a prominent
measure of success.
Such man is Joseph d. Brooks, who
was born in Baltimore, April 10, 1861, a
memorable day in the annals of that city,
for the first blood of the civil war then
dyed its streets. as history discloses. His
father, DIR. Brooks, was noted practit-
Toner of Baltimore, who filled some high
municipal offices, such as councilman, ETC..
and who died there in 1872 When
twenty three years old Mr.. Brooks came
to Westminster, after having graduated at
the John McDonogh School, near Balti-
more, in 1878, and studied the rudiments
of law under Judge Henry Clay Dallam,
Baltimore, man eminent in his day in
the legal profession. Mr.. Brooks con
tinued his studies here under Hon. John
f. Smith and was admitted to the Bar in
his twenty fourth year His subsequent
career has been spent in this city, where
he has filled the Mayors chair three terms
in succession, 1892, 93 and o. He
was candidate for States Attorney in
1891, but underwent defeat through cir
cumstances that arose; although running
ahead on his party ticket. He has
achieved success in life through his innate
worth Of character, which inspires conf
dence as well as general respect For eight
years he was actively connected with the
Westminster Fire Department as Marshal,
and he has been also member of the
Committee on Topics OF the State Fire Or
ganization for some time, having also serv-
ed on its Executive Board. Mr.. Brooks
now fills che post of Register of Wills in
Carroll county.

began the clothing and mems furnishing
business in April, 1887, with his brother
Frank as partner Seven years later, in
1894, they added the dry goods trade to
their business, and now have large double
stores each % by $50 feet, two stories
high, in the Albaugh Block, East Main
street. These gentleman are related to
the celebrated war governor of Indiana,
Oliver P. Morton, and are nephews of
Messrs. John L. and Charles T. Reifsni-
der, two of our leading citizens.
Mr.. Fred. d. Miller is now the Mayor
of Westminster, having been elected on
the citizen ticket at the last election; and
since the chief executive of city moulds
much of its policy, (and controls its course
in measure on progressive lines or retro
gression, } Westminster may be congratu-
lated on having such public officer. He
is serving his term to the peoples entire
satisfaction, for they recognize in Mayor
Miller an able exponent of the best inter
ests of Westminster They belong to some
ofthe leading organizations, Masonic order,
the Knights of Pythias, the Independent
Order of Mechanics and the Royal Area
mum, and are active members of the Re-
formed Church.

R. E. FRIzzELL.
Popular Brick Manufacturer and
Saloon Keeper.

Looking around the newer and more
progressive cities of today with their tons
upon tons of pressed brick business blocks,
to say nothing of residences, and compar
inc them with the cities Of the past and
their inhammable wooden 'fre-traps
one sees clearly why the brick manufac-
turer, like the contractor, has been called
a public benefactor Both are power in
the land, uniting as they do with the far
mer or tiller of the soil in the task Of i'm
proving it. They rank in truth among
Nature noblemen, for without them cities
would langush and civilization suffer.
This city will never be plain or uninvit-.
ing while it possesses brick yard with
the capacity of turning out 500, 600 an
nually. 1t is pleasant for one to realize
that so extensive an industry fourishes in
our midst as this business, which Mr..
Robert f. Frizzell established eighteen
years ago. Not only does it benefit the
city from material standpoint, but it al
so furnishes steady employment to num-
Der of people, eight Of whom are employed
the greater portion of the year. Here the
very best quality of modern bricks are
sold at moderate prices, there being a con-
slant demand for them. The factory is
equipped with the most approved machin-
ery for their manufacture, and since Mr..
Frizzell is an expert in his line, the arti
Gle he makes is of the highest grade.
One of the most popular saloons and
restaurants in town, 1917 East Main street,
is also owned by this gentleman, where
those in search of good lunch Or pure
medicinal liquors will find rich variety of
articles from which to choose Doctors
prescriptions always call for the purest al
coholic drinks, and Mr. Frizzell takes care
to supply nothing but the best. He is
native of Carroll county, whose saloon with
its short order restaurant may be called
one of the city's attractions, just as his
brickyard is another.
