DEER PARK JOTTNGS.

I
this the first day of autumn.
Among the social events, one of
which was given by Charles and Ray
Jones on the eve of their departure
| for school in honor of 1.-The Unknown"
an evening of mystery and fun.
There were present 1.-The Unknown
W. E. Beeghley, of Connellsville, Pa;
A. X. Brake and Miss Ireta Lowe, of
Buckhannon, w. Va. Other guests
were Misses Orbello, Paine and Mahr,
of Washington; Miss Ethel Ritzel, of
Keyser; the Misses and Messrs. Hen
nen, Misses Florence, Nettie and Sa-
die Thrasher, accompanied by their
brothers Roy, Howard and Harry;
Messrs. g. L. Hartman, William and
Charles Germany, Clarence Lashorn,
Miss Steinhart, Miss Katharyn Lolim
and Miss Bessie Sisk, all of Deer Park,
and her most charming young ladies
and gallant young gentlemen.
Mrs. Ada S. Hosmer, after spending
the season thus far at the Deer Park
Hotel, left yesterday on train No. 46
for New York. This christian lady
has been doing a self-sacrificing work
among the children of the town for
the past eight or ten years. Like the
Master whom she serves so faithfully,
she has gone out into the highways
and hedges gathering in the neglected
children and caring for them. both
spiritually and temporarily. A more
gentle and lovely character never Wis
tied our mountain top.
Mrs. John w. Williams is another
of Gods noble women, who as noted
in previous correspondence, has re-
turned after an absence of some
weeks at the bedside of her daugh-
ter, and has resumed her interesting
meetings at her memorial hall known
as THE Friendly" erected by this
queenly lady some seventeen years
ago as mural to her dead. Her
work for the uplifting of humanity is
seemingly not appreciated as it should
be, but like bread cast upon the
waters it will return after many
days Let this be her consolation.
Your correspondent was pleased to
meet many friends from different
parts of the county at the Democratic
County Convention in Oakland last
| neutrality-suspicious. whom we had
often met in days and years gone by
when it was our pleasure to be asso-
ciated in an official capacity with
what we can term 1.-The grand old
man of Garrett county," the lament
ed and much.loved William Hine-
baugh.
Another social, composed of the
elite of our town, was given at Five
Cables" of which an extended notice
will appear in our next "Jottings,"
giving the pleasant features of this
occasion.
Our young friends, Charles and
Ray Jones, sons of Merchant Wilbur
G. Jones, left this morning for Buck
harmon, West Va, to attend the West
Virginia Conference Seminary. We
predict for these two bright and
promising young gentlemen a prom
Using future. Knowing them as the
writer does, from their infancy, we
can truthfully say they are the grand
est boys of which this town can
boast.
Doctor Lininger is going night and
day and his practice is increasing as
the days go by. Two of Mrs. LINN
gers lady friends from Baltimore
haye been her guests at her beautiful
home for the past few weeks.
One of the popular guests at the
Deer Park Hotel from West Virginia,
accompanied by his bride, arrived on
Saturday night. The long station
platform, usually radiant with charm
ing young ladies and matrons, was
deserted; the hotel station was with
out occupants, but this was fully ex-
planned later when the bride and
groom emerged from the hotel coach
at the foot of the wide staircase lead
ing up to the main entrance of the
hotel. A bevy of mischievous young
ladies were stationed at convenient
places behind the porch pillars and at
a signal from Mr.. Walter Lord, lib
eral contribution of rice in the hands
of each one came down on the heads
of the astonished couple, creating con-
sternation for the moment. The
whole party shortly thereafter as
sembled in private supper room,
and an elaborate menu was discussed.
A large bridge whist party was
given on Friday evening by Mrs. Har-
mar D. Denny, of Pittsburg.
The Watsons gave large party for
the young people at Eagle Rock on
Saturday. Eagle Rock is on the apex
of the Great Backbone Mountain.
Three vehicles were required for the
company. Mrs, J. H. Wheelwright
ACCOMPANIED the party.
