and his "remnant,' however, had the
satisfaction of assisting in the subse-
quent all-day struggle of regaining the
salient.
After the war he settled at the mouth
of Patterson's Creek and engaged in
farming and mercantile work. His
ability, prominence and merit brought
educational. political and church dis

governing board of the great Ran
dolph- Macon system; he was dele

of West Virginia, several times a
member of the States Legislature and
as layman represented on several
occasions the Baltimore conference in
the general conference of the M. E.

John Sheridan, director on the part of
the United States of the Union Pacific
railroad, upon the occasion of the sale
of that road at Omaha, Neb, Mon
day, November l, last year. 1t is
needless to say that none contributed
to nor enjoyed more the pleasure of
the tour than he. All the amiable
phases of character wrought out in

Music i'm the Air.

The St. Louis Y. M. G.. A. Bulletin,
in its issue of March, 1897, says of the
Boston Stars:
The entertainment given on the 18th of
last month by Lovett's Boston Stars was
highly enjoyed by the large audience present.
1t was the fourth consecutive year that the
company appeared in our course. but there
was no sign of waning popularity. Indeed,
many said that it was the best program they
had ever given u.s. Evidently we shall have
to make standing annual engagement with
them.
This brilliant company will be here
next Tuesday, Feb. 10Th. The un-
usually large demand for seats has
made it necessary to secure larger
hall, so Prof. Arthur F. Smith has
reuted Ravenscrofts' Opera House for
this company. The whole lower floor
will be reserved, while children and
others holding the lower-priced tickets
will find ample room in the gallery.
Some reserved seats are still available
at the G. E. Pearce Drug Co.'s store
This concert will be the finest music
al treat given Frostburg audience
this year. and all ought to go. The
Epworth League has spared no pains
to make its course success in every
way.

A Reason WHY.

The Frostburg JOURNAL must feel now like
a rooster that is boss of the whole dung hill.
Somehow the great paper seems to have
clinch and cinch.-IHaip's Boy.
Not entirely elegant, but expressive.
The cause of the "clinch and a
cinch" is-the people know that no
other institution has or can stand so
impregnably for the moral and material
interests of the town.

make No Mistake"
u. b. ODER, Editor.

The Cumberland Times argues that
"Cumberand is the Logical Place for
the location of the Normal School.
Cumberland is also "the logical
place" for typhoid fever and all other
bacterial diseases.
If the Times doesn't believe this the
JOURNAL has lots of Cumberland
testimony to that effect.
The Times says further
The location of a school is as important as
the location of a courthouse, a store, or any
other public enterprise.
The JOURNAL thinks it more i'm
portant.
A courthouse or a store supplied
with impure water is very bad.
But a Normal School building, set
down in an incubator of baciW and a
nursery of fungus will be for at
least eight months in the year a whole
sale challenge to the Grim Reaper to
come and do his worst.
"Make no mistake" echoes the
JOURNAL, especially the sort that will
locate the victims of Cumberland water
underground.
