Rev. George w. kepler, well liked
by everyone who has had the pleas
ure of his acquaintance, writes THE
REPUBLICAN as follows from Parkers-
burg, to which point he was assigned
by the conference of his church at it's
last session: please address me at
1911 Dudley avenue, We are much
pleased with our new home and shall
like it very much. =
Our little boy was afflicted with
rheumatism in his knee; and at times
unable to put his knee to the floor.
We tried in vain, everything we could
hear of that we thought would help
him. We almost gave up in despair,
when some one advised us to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We did
SO, and the first bottle gave so much
relief that we got a second one, and,
to our surprise, it cured him sound

Crisfeld, on the Eastern Shore, was
visited on Monday by destructive
lire. A large number Of buildings.
including the postofiice, were burned
to the ground, the loss being es-
timated at $4,000. Crisfield, like Oak
land, has no water works or other
means of staying fire when it has
once started, but Oakland's past en-
perience does not seem to move her
people to make q change in the con-
dition Of affairs now existing in this
respect.
No one has ever seen the leaves
stick on the trees like they have this
fall. Ordinarily at this time Of the
year the foliage is all down and the
limbs are as bare as they get at any
time, but this year is a great excep-
ton in many respects. The fall has
been different all the way through
from any fall that is remembered and
the Oldest inhabitant is very hard
run to get instances to recount that
are more remarkable,
Senator d. Z. Dick, Of Homecoming,
was in Oakland Monday morning for
few hours The same afternoon he,
Hon. a. +. George and Mr.. julius c.
Renninger left for week S campaign
tour through the county. Meetings
were held at Red House Monday
afternoon, Wilson Monday evening,
Kitzmillersville Tuesday afternoon,
Bloomington Tuesday evening and at
North Glade last evening. A meet
ting viii be held at Swanton this

Mr.. &. II. Pritchard left last Friday
night for Philadelphia with a car
load of chestnuts which he hoped to
dispose of to dealers in that city at
good prices. One drawback with the
chestnut buyer is the necessity of
having to ship the nuts by express in
order to reach the market before the
price changes from the quotation
under which he shipped. Mr.
Pritchard hopes to save the express
rates by shipping in car load lots.
Mr.. p. T. Cartwright, of Mt Lake
Park, also shipped car to New York
Saturday.
At the council meeting held on last
Tuesday night, following the advice
of THE REPUBLICAN few weeks ago,
an ordinance was drafted enacting a
curfew law for Oakland. The or
dinance will be presented at the next
meeting of the council and passed
and thereafter no children under the
age of sixteen will be allowed upon
the streets after eight o'clock unless
accompanied by their parents or
gardians. We presume there will be
little difficulty experienced in keep
ing the young ladies off the streets
after the hour indicated as none of
them want to appear older than the
age prescribed in the ordinance even
though they may be twice sixteen.
Mr.. c. +. Schroeder, station agent
in Oakland, was taken suddenly ill on
Thursday morning last whilst engaged
in attending to his duties and absent
ed himself from his Office for several
hours, his associates thinking he had
gone to his home. A few hours later
he was found in an unconscious
condition in the ladies waiting
room, having suffered a slight stroke
of appoplexy. He was conveyed to
his home where medical assistance
was rendered and has since almost en-
tirely recovered. During his sickness
