The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-05-25

Last week the editor OF this paper
was at Friendsville for Il few hours
and took occasion to look over the
town.
The growth of the town during the
past two or three ears is somewhat
remarkable, Notwithstanding the de
structive fire which occurred there
some months ago when number of
buildings were burned. On the site
of these burned structures new build
lngs have been erected, the largest
being that occupied by Mr.. Charles
Frazee, who conducts Il general store
'ln connection with n well equipped
pharmacy. Mr.. Leslie E. Friend has
recently completed one of the finest
appointed store buildings in the coun-
ty, 1T being situated south of the rail
road track near the Crawford Hotel
The building is two stories high and
is used exclusively by Mr.. Friend in
handling his large trade. Mr.. William
STR derrick, ir.. is prospering in his
ibew store building along the river.
Here is located the central telephone
Office connecting the lines running to
the town from all sections of this and
adjoining counties of West Virginia
and Pennsylvania. The popular
hostelry, the Crawford Hotel, is still
under the management OF the proprie-
tor, Mr.. II. II. Frazee, who eXcels in
setting a good table and treating his
customers in the best possible manner.
a short visit was made TO krug,
three miles up the river from Friends
vile, where the large lumber and
barrel mills Of \. knabb & Co. are
located. The saw mill has capacity
