To take an inferior paper merely be-
cause its Home Conveyance company
wants you to take it is about as rational
as to elect an inferior man to office be
cause he wants office. OMIT encouraging
both and save the credit of both your
town and the public service.

The king of England is about feet >
inches high, OF just about the altitude of
the king of Frostburg.
Poor old Duke" is in bad plight.
His fondness for horses has brought four
crushed feet, and his last contact re-
suited i'll a kick on the face which dis
figured 1t terribly and carried away his
left eye. "Duke" is DR.. Jacobs grey
hound, and his Affections evoke popular
sympathy.
Senator Proctor, marble king of Yer
mont, was out-witted recently by George
f. Royce i'll the purchase of IL tract of
marble land which, had Proctor sue
ceeded, would have made him practically
| the king of American marble and mar
| ble-yards. As the matter stands, there
| fore, a new yard is permissible i'll Frost
burg.

The compliments paid the JOURNAL
this week upon the quality and variety
of its matter III last issue would, in

For1,m. One of the most honest, too,
came right out of its own business

Ont i'll West Virginia two weeks ago a
printer, temporarily retired, assisted a
saloon-keeper and busted Il bcer-keg. In
Frostburg, the calamity was evened up
newspaper form. Like the grip and
death, the handlers of foreign goods are

'fattery." The For"m gets neither.
In all its age of nearly 81, years it has
never enjoyed the opportunity Of print
ing word commcndatory of itself

One of the JOURNALS arguments
against the light contract was-that in

has invented process for giving towns
daylight, actual daylight, which is better
than lamphght by over 100, 600 per cent.
There may be nothing i'll it, but if there

chased the Clifton Dining Rooms"
Cumberland, and will conduct the place
with improved facilities for pleasing
customers.
