Not case of typhoid fever has ever
been traced or traccable to the town )
reservoir.
If there had been one, there would
have been scores. if not hundreds.
This in its unfinished, neglected,
abandoned condition.
Most of the complaint has been
founded on drainage from a mountain
field, then of leakage of this drainage
into Georges Creek-this by people who,
had they been aboard ship and served the
vessel as the reservoir has been treated,
would have been dead, and some of them
i'll hell years ago.

The First National Bank has received
its third consignment of miniature safes
to supply those who may have been over
looked or for any other reason failed to
get one.
These auxiliaries to the Banks Saw
ings Department have become very
popular, over 800 having been issued to
people in town, Eckhart, Vale Summit,
Carlos, etc.
The success of the scheme has been a
surprise to all concerned, especially to
b. +. Huntington, the New York pro-

and speaks of this community as
the most deservedly thrifty he has seen
in his extensive travels.

\ Great Awakening.

IAN Old Citizen who occasionally
contributes town "reminiscences tells the
JOURNAL this week of great revival i'll
the NJ. E. Church i'll 1913. He writes:
The preacher in charge was Rev. David
Trout from the Valley of Virginia. Though
good preacher he was at his best i'll public
prayer. Indeed he was notably powerful
in the eloq,ence of petition. 1t was often
said bv an old member that when brother
Trout prayS heaven and earth seem to come
together He was venerable and sanity in
appearance, hair white aS snow, and his
dress a complete modcl of the Methodist
cult of that day. Saint and sinner accorded
him unbounded respect and vencration. He
was esteemed by all as truly a man of
God" and even the childrer whom he
never failed to notice instinctiycly accorded
him this the highest of all honors.
Frostburg circuit then embraced an cX-
tensivc territory. WeSternport, CreSaptown,
Wills Creek, Wcllersburg and Grantsvillc
were the surrounding appointments. The
revival mentioned was in the winter and
from the points named, now comparatively
III ''i-''''
The social side between members of the
church was warmer and more heartfelt then
than now. Mutual greetings were soul
cheering and heart refreshing.
At that time all the travel from Cumbcr-
land westward was by stage and Frostburg
was il iirstclaSS station on the line. Many of
the drivers were active promoters of the re-
ylval-"Boggy' Moore, Lem" Clark,
Larry" Willard" Ohio Barcus and George
Grove were among the number.
The Methodists of that day were very en-
thusiastic. There would he responses from
all parts of the church when brother would
give utterance to any deep spiritual emotion
There was one old Englishman, William
Blenksop by name, endowed with the voic,
of a Stentor, whose civilizations drowned AL
other voices.
The entire neghborhood seemed i'll
spired under the spell of this awakening
The church edliiice was crowded to discom
fort every night but the meeting went oI
until il appeared that everybody had iallcl
under the blessed enchantment
The colored people occupied the gallery
and mingled their rejocngs with those %

TO the MINING JOURNAL.
May | have a short space in the great
paper to tell your readers how Rev. and Mrs.
f. K. Wagner unexpectedly found them
selves lat home" to their parShioncrS last
Tuesday evening?
The JOURNAL welcomes all such in
quirics and endeavors to comply with all
such requests.
1t being understood that the pastor and his
wife had about completed their preparations
for housekeeping. the congregation deter
mined to pay them a visit, and met at the
home of Il nearby member for that purpose :;
thence proceeded to st. Paurs parsonage in
body, much to the surprise of the inmates.
However, the reception was none the less
cordial on that account.
Each guest felt perfectly lat home" and
the scene was one of mcrriment-indeed. Il
delightful occasion long to be remembered
by the participants.
The whole house was thrown open to the
callers and the pantry next day presented an
Overlooking appearance, occasioned by the
numerous souvenirs of Il substantial charac-
ter left behind.
In strict confidence, Mr.. Editor, we expect
to call again. ONE OF THE GUESTS

Question

In the hope that somebody would pub
licly controvert the JOURNAL : argument
last week, it purposely omitted includ-
ing the income from water dues this
year, which should net not less than
$3.50.
Counted now, the town can bank ON
-, 30 for water improvement this year.
If nothing but IA new reservoir will
please the representatives of one-sixth
of the people, however, it is pertinent to
ask gentlemen, what are you going to
do with all this money:

rake, for instance, the question of
taxation of grain in elevators It does
not seem to occur TO the critics that if
the grain was still i'll the hands Of the
FARMER 1T would be subject to taxation
AND suppose it was shipped beyond the
borders of the state and the money in the
possession of the farmer, who had placed
1t in the bank? The money would also be
subject to taxation.
There is also a great deal Of iII-found
ed criticism of the new law because If
taxes bank deposits. Yet the present law
does exactly the same thing, or is sup
posed to.
mo one can tell just how a new tax
law will operate until it has been tried
Merchants will find that probably their
burdens will be decreased, because SO
much additional property will be listed

among the bankers present. TIE oblec-
ton was to that clause Of the law which
compels a banker to disclose the amount
OF money which any one has deposited
in his bank when called upon by the
assessor to do so.
One banker from the northern part of
the state spoke at length upon this clause
and explained that in his locality the
passage of such a law would result dis
astrously to the bank, as many of the
depositors would withdraw their money.
did they know that the banker might be
compelled to disclose the amount of the
deposit He said that the bankers sue
cess, to a great extent, depends upon
knowing everybody's business and in dis
closing nobody's business.
Several other members spoke along a.
similar line, and one went so far as to
declare that if the bill became a law he
would never disclose the books Of the
bank for examination until compelled
by an order from the supreme court of
1.-THE United States. Several men ex-
planned that they were in favor of pass
ing the bill if it did not compel the bank
er to disclose the business of his de-
positors.
Ex-senator o. E. Thorpe, of Wilmar.
spoke in favor of the bill explaining that
he could see no reason why a banker
should decline to disclose the amount Of
any mans deposit if the information
was given in order that such a man
should be compelled to pay taxes on the
money which ne possesses. He said that
if there was more property listed for tax
alton the rate would be lower tnan II
is at the present time.
