Acknowledge

Service at the port of Baltimore, writes;
| am much pleased to notice in the Balti-
more press a number of warm and we'll
merited anniversary concentrations of the
JOURNALS long career under your business
and editorial direction.
No matter where am located, hold the
deepest and kcenest interest in all that af-
fects "old Allegany,' and the JOURNAL con
tributes no little to keep that interest on the
alert.
Tame, however. as my congratulations
| may appear by contrast with others, none
are more heartfelt than those from your
friend, JAMES CAMPBELL.
Gen. Campbell was lately promoted to
the command of the Maryland Depart
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, headqual tiers i'll Baltimore, and it is
said he fills the nigh Office with true
military precision and spirit. He is
held in high esteem in "Old Allegany,'
and few, if any, in Frostburg forget that
when a member of the Legislature he
was sleepless promoter of the State
Normal School enterprise. HE was the
right man in the right place" in that
battle, and to his brigadiership success is
largely due. Gen. Campbell did not, of
course, intend to have any part of his
own creditable record recalled, but zone
good turn deserves the other"
In very felicitous terms the Lonacon-
ing Press says
| Modestly, as usual, Frostburg MINING
JOURNAL remarks that it has reached its
thirty-third ycar-thc usual span of a life
time.
1t is not too usual for weekly newspaper
to last under one name for many years, and
| it is decidedly unusual for one man to edit
weekly over thirty years. Editor Oders
| long record is evidence that he has been fill
ing public need if any proof were needed.
| The Press, which knows from its seven
years of stormy experience what it is to keep
IA newspaper going, desires to extend feliclta-
tons to the veteran. and its best wishes for
many years of calm and prosperous voyag
| ing.
Mr.. Clayton evidently knows whereof
he writes. If his Seven years of stormy
experience has impressed him, the two
decades and lustrum yet before him
will be continuous evolution of bright
and dark outlook, for which, however,
he is doubtless prepared. He publishes
ii bright paper-one Of the class which
the people always want to see.

We congratulate the FroStburg MINING
| JOURNAL and its editor Mr.. J. b. Oder on
the fact of having passed its thirty third
birthday. May it still live long and prosper
