The Cumberland gentlemen who ac,
cOmpanied the Legislative committee
on public buildings to Frostburg Fri
day of last week were Messrs. Dew
II. REYNOLDS, school commissioners {;

aminers; j. &. Wilson, States at
torney J. w. Avirett, editor of the
Cumberland Times; Daniel AMMAN,
cashier of the Second National Bank,
and A a. Doub, attorney. To the
credit of each it is here recorded with
thanks unaffected that he did what he
could to make a favorable impression
upon the legislative mind, and legisla-
tive expressions attested the effective
ness of an attorneyship so generous
and formidable.
In this connection the JOURNAL has
been amply authorized to say that the
people of Frostburg thank both the
Cumberland Ne,rS and Homecoming
Star for the strong pleas made by each
for legislative friendship. The latter
went farther and asked its constituency
to aid pecuniarily.
This is Il fitting occasion to speak
of the unfaltering devotion and I'M
firing service Of Rev. A. c.. Haver-
stick. No matter how discoulaging
the outlook this gentleman has never
wavered. Day and night he has
wrought for the enterprise with a con-
stancy and courage that have known
no abatement. Had it been matter
of personal advancement he could have
done no more. Hence, if the enter
prise fails, it will be no fault of his:
If 1t succeeds, none will deserve more
popular gratitude.

why was no years old, of course,
because it requires 365 days to com

question He would, in conformity with
the other answers, say He had lived
1900 years that is, 10 full centuries,
and that He was now, at the date of
this, entering into the first year of the
