The correspondent at Deer Park Of
the Baltimore sam has been writing
some highly interesting letters cover
ing social and business affairs at that

low, contains many interesting items:
There are but two Baptist churches
in Garrett county, Md. Baltimore
city is well supplied, but in Garrett
there are but two churches of that de-
nomination. Last Sunday a Baptist
clergyman, Rev. 7. w. I. holland,
from Falls Church, Va, held services
in the United Brethren church in
Deer Park. Mr.. holland is on a mis-
sionary tour through the counties of
Maryland and is meeting with much
success. AT both morning and even
ing services he was listened to by
attentive congregations, some of
whom had meyer before listened to a
Baptist minister. The volunteer choir
with Miss Nellie Thrasher presiding
at the organ, sang with spirit the
opening hymn, beginning "How dear
to my heart is the story of old.n
There are three church edifices in
the village of Deer Park-Lutheran
United Brethren and Methodist. All
three buildings are constructed with
a view to comfort in severe winter
weather. Regular services are held
in the Methodist church only, SER
mons being delivered in the other
churches on alternate Sundays.
Oyer the pulpit in the United Breth
rem church are the words in bright
red letters, His banner over me was
love-" on one side the Lords Prayer
in large type and on the other side
the Ten Commandments.
Since the wedding of Miss Marguerite
Tullidge, whose parents occupy a.
cottage in the hotel grounds, mar
riage announcements have been made
of two young ladies who spend their
summers at Deer Park-Miss Bessie
Lord to Mr.. Charles r. Patterson. of
Allegheny, Pa, and Miss Sara Will
liams 10 DR.. Kane, of Philadelphia.
The wedding of Miss Lord will take
place at Baltimore later in the fall,
and that of Miss Williams at Deer
Park at the Williams beautiful sum
mer residence, adjoining Deer Park
village, on the 9th of October. Miss
Williams is an accomplished young
lady, and has been spending her sum
mers at Deer Park ever since she was
child. The Williams residence,
while it is spacious structure, will
not accommodate the many guests
who will come from Philadelphia and
| other cities in the East, but the Deer
Park Hotel will open for their accom-
mediation. The groom elect is grand
son of DR.. Kane, the Arctic explorer.
Tuesday evening DR.. Routzen, sec
re tary of the National Civic League,
is to deliver a lecture in Friendly
Hall.
The Garrett Real Estate Company,
a new organization recently formed
for operation in this section, has COM
menced business. Its head office is at
Oakland. The capital has all been
subscribed by home people, and its
prospects for business are encourag-
ing. r. A. Ravenscroft is PRESIDENT
F. A. Thayer, States Attorney, is
secretary, and Col. A. q. Sturgiss is
| treasurer.
The stock of the First National
Bank at Oakland has been increas-
| ed to $4,000, having now the largest
paid-up capital stock of any bank in
Garrett county. AT it's organization
a few years ago the capital stock was
| placed atS$32, 1000, the additional S1S,-
900 was doubly subscribed by people
in Oakland at $135 share. The Off
GERS of the bank predict a surplus of
! $4,000 by the first of next January.
f. A. Thayer is president and r. e.
Sliger cashier.
The Mayor and Town Council of
| Oakland have about reached a con-
clusion in the matter of the establish
ment of water works for the town.
They are much needed. The only
difference now existing is a term of
five years on the franchise; the town
authorities wish to limit the time to
| 20 years, and the contractors desire a
perpetual franchise, and are now
standing on franchise of % years.
The leading business men of the town
are urging the acceptance ofa % years
franchise, rather than have no water
works at all.
Oakland is certainly enjoying a well
deserved and substantial boom,
healthy in every way. Some fine
dwellings are in course of erection.
The cashier of the First National
Bank, r. E. Sliger, is erecting very
handsome dwelling, which will add to
the beauty of the growing residential
section, and DR.. J. E. Harmed is also
putting up very fine dwelling.
