Anent the 10Th Year,

In its issue of Sept. 9th, last the Balti-
ing very handsome editorial notice un-
der the heading of ga Sound News
paper Constitution
The Frostburg (Md.) MINING JOURNAL, ].
B. Oder, editor and publisher, has completed
the twenty-ninth year of its publication
This. it may be added, has been accomplished
with credit to the publisher, and we hope to
his profit also The editor says:
Now, as in the beginning in 1871, there is
no special prospectus to publish. no particu-
lar platform to proclaim, no definite pledges
to announce. Prospectus, platform and
pledges are merged in continuing deter
mination to tell the truth as it is seen heard
and understood-this to no innocent person
or party's hurt.
This means straight goods" which the
Frostburg MINING JOURNAL never fails to de-
liver so far as our observation of it goes 1t
is a sound unwritten newspaper constitution
the paper its own guarantee of character
In lieu of Il notice of its own the Oak
land D"mocrm kindly quotes the SIMS
article.
The Frostburg GTconer makes this
qualified mention of the anniversary:
Under the SAME editorial management, the
JOURNAL last week completed its 18th year-a
ripe old age. While it has grown somewhat
mellow with age and lost some of its youth
full spice, it is, nevertheless, able to cope
editorially with and mechanically compares
favorably to most of the county papers pub
lished hereabouts.
Older people than the editor of the
Geoner think the JOURNALS "spice"
grows younger as the paper advances in
age. Here is prominent gentleman,
for instance, who has known and taken
the JOURNAL from the beginning, in re-
hitting for the Both year writes:
Please accept $3.50 on account of subscrip-
ton to the one great paper that is great,
To precocious as we'll as unretined con-
temporaries, therefore, the JOURNAL can
not, if it would, avoid paramountcy.

A Pity.

The JOURNAL hardly ever has time to
read the Forum critically, hence many
gems Of varying quality escape observa-
ton.
A friend, however, who is probably
more sOlicitous concerning the guileless-
ness of local literature, called the great
papers attention last week to sketch of
the "Shade Farm" the fine homestead
of Thomas w. Frost, on the National
pike, miles west of the metropolis of
both the great Georges Greek coal region
and Allegany county, and asked for some
notice of it.
In conceding this reasonable request
the JOURNAL begins by stating that each
of the second, third and fourth sentences
begins with "The place. etc. This
would not be so rcry bad, but in the
third ''the place is spoken of as having
been Zone of the best lumber tracks in
Garrett county, etc. Tracks" is
doubtless typographical error, but when
i'll the fourth paragraph "the place" is
twice spoken of as "the whole track"
the JOURNALS faith in the uncertainty
of the topographic hand becomes I'M
steady, and when, i'll the sixth para
graph, it is referred to as "this extensive
track of land" the great paper is COM
PEELED, reluctantly, to confess its belief
that track is Il wilful but innocent
substitute for tract.
The usual disagreement between
nouns, verbs, etc, pervades the sketch
so much so it is pity Mr.. Frost's pretty
place has been subjected to the unlovely
blemishes which invariably follow the
attempts of anti-merit scribes to depict
beauties for whose reproduction iii let
tiers they have no pen, pencil, nor PEN
