CORRESPONDENCE.

renewing his subscription, Rev.
George w. Moore, of Spring Creek, Pa,
writes:
Your paper has become part of our home
life We have not forgotten the years we
lived in Frostburg and the many kind
friends we had there Through your paper
distance is bridged over and interest in the
prosperity and happiness of our friends in
the mountain city is maintained and en-
ioyed.
My health has improved and | preach
every Sabbath with comfort to myself and,
| trust with cdlfication to my hearers.
When living in Frostburg | had the
pleasure of solemnizing the marriage ser
vice that made many young men and
maidens one in name-and hope in heart.
In this connection | want to say that last
month had the honor of officiating at the
wedding of grand-niece of Horace Greeley,
historic editor and founder of the New York
Trjbnne. The descendants of the Greeley
family are well represented here. near the old
homestead.
My kind wishes for the happiness of all
our many Frostburg friends are herein
communicated and may the MINING jour
NAL ever continue to enjoy the respect and
confidence of its many readers!
This, from one of the best men who
ever lived here, is highly valued.
Three Taxpayers write note of
request to the editor of the JOURNAL to
announce himself "a candidate for NOM
nation on the democratic ticket for
county commissioner" Very kindly
they add:
We have Mr.. kenneweg already. With
YOU and at least another of similar Momjna
from different part of the county we would
feel that our county administration would
be in good hands for at least four years to
come.
This testimonial from three most ex-
cellent citizens the JOURNAL values high
", but there are impediments in the
way
1, The JOURNALS editor cannot be
nominated
2, He would want to be as independ-
ent in office as out, and
3, AS editor of the only Independent
newspaper i'll this section he already
holds the highest office in the county.
At the same time, there is a magniti
cent field of economic operation in the
county commissioners office for first
class administrative work by man who
will do right and is then amply able to
defend all he does.
Hence. i'll this as in all other places to
be filled the JOURNAL hopes the demo-
cratic managers will find three men
worthy and well qualified i'll special
sense and degree to fill the office which
most concerns Three TAXPAYERS.
But for the facts that they are neigh
bors and one a republican, they would
themselves make tirstclass democratic
commissioners.
Harry G. McAllister Seattle, Wash,
directs change of address and adds:
| look forward every week with a great
deal of pleasure to the JOURNALS arrival,
and have perused with interest the editors
comments on the hog PEN Am also
well pleased with the good showing the
base ball team is making.
Harry is a good fellow-up-tO-da
too. He has been abroad sufficiently to
know that the hog-pen in any place pre-
tending to be IA town is an unsavory sur
vival of village rusticity. In other
words, the city that tolerates a hog-pen
is still village; if town it is still
hamlet.
"a Taxpayer writes to tho Queen
City carrier the following commenda-
tory letter:
\ word concerning model roads. The
finest piece of road in this section is on the
National pike on Eckhart flat, made under
the supervision o< Mr.. John DeNore. He
certainly does deserve great credit, as the
roads are in a fine condition. 1t is pleas
ure to drive over them. | consider Mr.. De-
Wore a road-builder who should be kept in
that position. He will give us the benefit
of our taxes.
1t is cline piece of road" The only
question is is it not too fine to be made
so largely useless by the Electric road ?
