OAKLAND PROSPEROUS.
steadily Growing business of the
EnrrcIt CoMnt, Town.

Oakland. Md, Jan. 1S.-The general
prosperity OF this section and steady
growth of business are aptly illustrated
by the volume of business done and
freights handled at the Oakland station
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
books, records and reports of this Office
show that the cash receipts for the year
1888, were larger than those Of any previ-
Gus year, showing that the goods ana pro
ducts bought and sold here are increasing
The construction of tine West Virginia
Central Railroad furnished an outlet for
the Ryans Glade section of the county
and took away a large volume of trade
which formerly came to Oakland. The
construction of the Oakland and Con-
fiuence Road likewise gave an outlet to the
tine farming sections OF JOnnstown, Acct
dent, Friendsville and Selbysport, for all
which sections Oakland was formerly the
receiving and shipping station.
Notwithstanding these facts the cash
receipts of the Oakland station have con-
stantly increased for a period of more
than twenty-f five years. In all that time
there has never in any year been a de-
crease of receipts as compared with the
previous year.
The Oakland postofIice furnishes aroth-
er illustration along this line. The post
office is an institution which is not affect
ed by the pernicious credit system. Nor
is it subject to losses from bad judg mt
in making investments. Its receipts fiuc-
tuate only as actual business incr, ases o.
decreases. 1t is gratifying fact that the
last years receipts were the greatest in
the history of the Oakland Office. 1t is
true, also. that in every year of the past
quarter of a century the receipts have
shown an increase over the previous y ar.
Every year since tho Garrett Coarty
Bank opened its doors to the pubic its
business has been steadily increasing and
the books show that its deposits in ch
year have increased over the previous
year. The assets on December 81. 1898,
show an increase of S33, ,0G0 over Deem
Der 81. 1897.
These facts establish two things. First.
that this community is growing, and
whilst its growth it steady, ii is none
the less certain. Second, that the town IS
not dependent upon its reputation as a
summer resort. The summer resort bust
ness has fiuctuated and there have been
many seasons when the business was a
failure. Even in these years the three in
stitutions above named. where the cash
of the community is handled, showed an
increase of receipts.
