Messrs. 4. A. Browning and III. r.
Hamll returned to Oakland Saturday
morning from the meeting of school
officials held in Baltimore last week.
Eggs are scarce and hard to get and
the cry is being heard in every direc-
ton for them. 1t is not known what
has caused the shut down on the part
of the producers.
Mr.. Herman Creutzburg, the Enter
prise Meat Market man, has put in a
large and well selected stock of gro
ceries. His advertisement appears
elsewhere in this paper today.
We direct special attention to the
advertisement of the Oakland Model
Bakery which appears in these col
umns. Mr.. Lauer, the proprietor, is
a hustling young man and deserves
success.
Mr.. W. j. Barnard, of Blooming
ton, who was appointed administra-
tor of the estate of Gilbert B. War
nick by the Orphans court for this
county, was in Oakland Tuesday at
tending to some business affairs of
the deceased.
Mr.. o. F. Morton, of kingwood,
was in the city Monday on business,
coming here from trip along the
line of the West Virginia Central
Railway, where he placed many Or
dersi for his recently published book.
He reports the entire edition almost
exhausted.
Last Fridays Baltimore american
contained half tone cut of school
officials of Maryland, taken at the
recent meeting of the County school
Commissioners and Examiners of the

A big crowd of people from Hutton

afternoon and after making their
purchases returned ON train 50 which
stops on Saturday evenings at Hutton
to accommodate the people of that
section. Among those here Saturday
were Mr.. U. g. Palmer, Miss CAVITY,
Miss Tina Cornell, Mrs. Chas. White
Miss Gusendorf and many others.
A scarcity of turkeys was expected
for Thanksgiving, but the birds came
in in large numbers and no scarcity
was experienced. However, it is
stated that there wont be many for
Christmas as the farmers unloaded
as many of them as possible on
Thanksgiving. There is little corn
in the country to be used as feed and
the owners of the fowl wanted to be
rid of feeding them.
The next that is wanted is for the
county court to inaugurate some
plan TO- the permanent improve
ment of the roads of the county. If
there is any one thing on which every
one could unite, it would certainly
seem that this plan is the one. 1t
would result in direct and immediate
benefit to all classes of our people.
Good roads are bound to come and
the sooner we get them the sooner
viii we begin to get the benefits
which will arise from them.
The Frostburg Mining Journal
makes the astounding statement that
Garrett county farmers never go to
town, not even to Grantsville, without
taking their dinners with them.
There isn't a word of truth in the
Journals statement. The Garrett
county farmers are not the misery
class that the esteemed Journal would
have people believe. They are as
a class of people as can be found any
where, and just as liberal and enter
prising. Saturday Star.
