hear the chronic croaker grumbling !;
| first, the hard, cold winter, then the
late spring, and then again when a
few days of warm or dry weather. it is
so dry, nothing is growing and so we
find conditions in this Goth century,
with all the light of the 18th century
to drive away superstition and igno-
rance to teach people that God rules
the elements for our best good.
Our young friend Charles A. Jones
returned home yesterday (Monday)
from his school at Buckhannon, w,
Va, and reports his brother Raw, who
has been sick for the past six weeks,
convalescing. We were glad to meet
our bright young friend, but the care
of his brother and hard study has
paled his face and reduced his flesh,
and with his hair parted in the mid
die and cut the late West Virginia
student fashion, if it had not been for
his pants we would have taken him
for modest, shrinking damsel from
the West Virginia hills But we
must remember that Charley is yet in
| his teens and will get back again to
his former Maryland boy unassuming
ways, and he again can echo the senti-
meDt of the writer, Maryland, my
Maryland" and be himself again.
Our enterprising stone mason, far
mer and carpenter, Mr.. Geo. Marley,
with the aid and skilled work of Mr.
Enoch Clark, is building one of the
most complete and substantial foun-
dations for Mr.. William EngIe, who
is going to erect a modest but com
/ plete home on beautiful plot of land
purchased from Mayor E. F. Droege
The contract for the carpenter work
is given out to our w. b. Miller, who
is noted all over this section of Gar
rett county as an honest workman,
and one that never Sights his work.
/ We bespeak for Mr.. Engle a house or
cottage-that he will take just pride
and comfort in in his declining years
here in Old Maryland, and amidst
during the summer) Deer Parks gay
society and culture, far exceeding the
wild and woody west, with its cow boy
etiquette.
We were panied to notice the death
of the late William Keyser, of Balti-
more, who, as many will remember,
was vice-president of the B. & o. R.
Co. for number of years when John
w. Garrett was president, and after
whom Keyser, some twenty-five miles
east of here was named. Mr.. Keyser
was brother of Mrs. John w. Will
liams, one of our most popular lady
summer guests and whose husband
has a splendid estate in the suburbs
of our village, or town, as we must
call it now, as it resents being called
village, with its new board of City
Council"
Rev. VIM. E. George, who is "a years
old, and at times suffers with q pecu-
liar dizziness, and at times seems de-
spondent, is out this five o'clock a. III.
las | scratch these iottings) singing
as gay as a lark. We hope in Gods
providence that this good old man
may be spared many years to mingle
his voice with the songsters of the
air that SO brighten our homes these
June mornings.
Our citizens who attended services
in the various churches had a relig-
ious feast with the morning sermons
preached by Rev. E. Manages, in the
Lutheran church, and Rev. H. E.
Friend in the NJ. E. church, but at 3
o'clock p. H., in the Union church a
young Baptist minister, Rev. VIM. H.
Faust, from Georgia. preached, for
one of his years, one of the most prac-
teal sermons that it has been the
pleasure of this people to enjoy. We
would like to give the text and short
synopsis if our time and your space
would permit, but suffice to say, this
young Southerner has just arrived at
his majority and fresh from the Louis
vile Theological College, yet with
three ministers facing him and drink
ing in his eloquent and divine
thoughts on sacred things, ION the
Walk to Emmaus with the Risen
Lord" he seemed to be so inspired
and absorbed that the presence of his
brother ministers failed to embarrass.
This is the first time at single service
that three preachers, representing
four churches were present to hear
the fourth, and he comparative boy.
The fraternal feeling that pervaded
the audience left an influence for
good, and are led to hope that the old
hypocritical envy of the prosperity of
ether churches may have received a
! just rebuke.
