Anniversary Comments.

Anniversary Comments.
Anent the JOURNALS last anniversary
the Cumberland Times said
The FRosrBUEG MINING JOURNAL has just
celebrated its 3lst anniversary quietly and
unostentatiously. The JOURNALS sound
logic and conservative principles in the past
have placed it in a position to command both
respect and influence, and that it may add
lustre to its already brilliant dadem on its
onward march on the pathway of time is the
wish of the Times.
A burst of eloquence duly appreciated.
The Ellicott City (Md) Democrat
makes mention of a fact not often stated:
The Frostburg (Md) MINING JOURNAL is
thirty-one years old. The JOURNAL possesses
the distinction of being one of the very few
papers read on account of its editorials, since
it makes no particular effort to give the class
of news usually furnished by country news
papers. 1t is a bright and unconventional
sheet.
The JOURNAL makes some effort to get
real local news and to shape it up in
better than commonplace style. Beyond
this-to reproduce from the dailies for
this community whole lot of national
and State news is .lost notion"
The Baltimore SIM, Maryland's pre-
mier morning daily, says
The FRosTBrRG MINING JorRNAL an
nounced on Saturday last that it was 81
years old, with NO change of policy in
sight" Why should there be any change?
Mr. Oder is still on the tripod; the JOURNAL
is prosperous; its editor claims that it is
still one of the best newspapers in the world
acknowledgements and entirely grcat-still
ahead of the town in which it is published
and still proud of the fact that it has reached
its pre-eminencc without attempting to pose
on everybody's platform The record of
the JOURNAL could not be more concisey
chronicled, even by its epgrammatic chief
who keeps its columns bristling with shrcwd
observations and pregnant thought every
week.
What more can the JOURNAL say than
that paragraph is radiant-in short, re-
splendent with every sunlike quality:
Next is Lonaconing's good paper, the
Rrrir~, with the amiable Mooney as
1.-The man behind the PEN
The Frostburg JOURNAL is 81 years old.
The JOURNAL is an excellent paper whose
commentaries on things past present and
future have been given publication outside
the confines of its native heath. Mr. Oder
from point of service and other points pre-
eminently leads all newcomers. May the
JOURNAL shine with added lustre.
The JOURNAL endeavors to avoid airs
on that account. That its editor is the
oldest Gin point Of service" is dis
tinction of which he is proud, partly be-
cause he has survived all bumptious eff
fort to "run him out" The men who
have come no closer than Homecoming
| and Midland us fair competitors it loves,
| and it is proper to add that it does not
dislike Cook, Peyser Grimm, Conn and
deNedrey.
The funniest cannot be postponed
until next week
The Frostburg JOURNAL is 81 years old,
but you wouldn't think it, II has the
| maiden's blush, the young mans gush and
| the old man's-huSh, The JOURNAL is Il
paper that one always wants to read because
| there is something sin it,
The JOURNAL wont spoil that by
| comment.
