1t is greatly feared that the wheat
of this section is badly frozen out
owing to the extreme cold weather
which prevailed at the beginning of

covering the ground to protect it. In
many places the fields present for
lorn appearance, being brown in color
instead OF the deep rich green.
A man might do without his county
paper year and thereby save dol
lar and half, but if he is man of
ordinary ability he is nearly sure to
lose hundred times that much by
not knowing what is going on in his
own neighborhood and his own coun-
ty. He misses the advertisement of
sales, of bargains and of business

advantage, but worse than his finan-
cial loss is the loss of general informa-
ton that should always be possessed

is upon us and after the rank weeds
have overgrown everything. Now
is the time to act
We have received from the author,
Rev. Il. j. Stanton, of Homecoming,
two bound volumes of his work emit
tied "a Century of Growth, or the
Church in Western Maryland" treat
ing upon the founding and growth of
the Catholic church in Allegany and
Garrett counties. The books are
printed in large, clear type upon a
fine grade of paper and contain a
large number of half-tone engrav-
ings, the frontispiece being that of
His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons. To
the Protestant as well as the Catholic
the books are of an interesting nature.
Father Stanton's subject is one not
readily handled, but it's pages show
with what aptitude he has adapted
himself.
