last and cast his first vote here today.
We hope it may be cast as his dead
father would cast it if living, but let
his conscience be his guide.
We are just in receipt of the news
of the death of Mrs. Guynn, sister of
our friend and neighbor, Mr.. L. q.
Miller and aunt of William b. Miller,
the well known contractor of this
place. We extend sympathy to these
two worthy and respected citizens on
this sad bereavement. Mrs. Guynn
resided near Lonaccning, Allegany
county. The elder Mr.. Miller attend
ed the funeral on Sunday last.
Mr.. William L. Shafrer, one of the
merchants of this place, is quite un-
well at this writing, suffering with
severe attack of neuralgia and Doc
tor Laughlin. of Mt Lake, his old fam
lily physician, was called down yester-
day Monday and thinks Mr. Shaffer
has taken "A severe cold bringing on
this trouble, which is causing him
severe pain, and at his age in life,
after passing the meridian, and
veteran of the war between the States
and the exposures of that awful
struggle, in which he took an heroic
part on the side that wore the blue,
tells on all the survivors, more tina n
Others, at a similar age.
Hon. G. M. Miller and wife passed
through our town Monday and called
on friend for few minutes eRroute
to your city. Mr. Miller and his cul-
tured wife are Swanton's most prom
inent and respected citizens, and the
name of Mr.. Miller is too well and
favorably known in Garrett county
for the past thirtyfive years to need
any formal newspaper introduction,
only to say we wish we had hundreds
of such citizens to bless and grace our
county with their education and cul-
ture.
Our old friend, the venerable Rev.
William E. George, hopes to be out
to-day to cast his vote. Although in
feeble. health, we are rejoicing to
know that he can get out and vote in
this his adopted country, and exercise
the right of franchise, according his
dictate of conscience and with frater-
nal feeling grant the same to those
who vote and think different. This
we have every reason to think of this
good man bearing the same given
given name of his distinguished coun-
tryman, The Grand Old MAN. of
England, whose name and fame will
live in English history while the
world stands, and we believe is dwell
ing in country beyond the stars.
Rev. VIM. H. Faust, our Young and
unassuming Baptist minister, is con-
Quoting series of meetings this week
in the Union church. commencing
this Monday morning at 100 o'clock
and it was the pleasure of the writer
to attend last night and drink in ev-
cry word that fell from the lips of
this Christian young minister, preach
ing one of the most touching and elo-
quent sermons, far beyond his years,
as a young theologian.
Hon. Ct. w. Haulenbeck, the talent
ed correspondent of your contempor-
airy paper, came up from Baltimore
Saturday last and we presume he will
remain until after the election, as we
think he votes here. Mr.. H. is an in
dependent voter and votes at all
times for what he believes to be the
best man. Those who read his newsy
and interesting letters each week can
tell how he intends to cast his ballot.
The old saying is "Wise men some
times change, but fools never"
Our Deer Park Coronet Band has
been gaining quite a reputation dur
ing this campaign, so much so that
all the speakers of both political par
ties paid them profuse compliments
for their excellent music at this place
and by virtue of the notoriety they
have gained in playing first for the
Democratic Presidential candidates
at Oakland on their whirlwind tour
of some weeks since, and the two here
in which the speakers lauded them at
all their meetings N the county, es-
pecially Senator Dick, of the Repub-
lican meeting, and Hon. VIM. Miller
and q. Semmes Hamill'of the Demo
cratic meeting. And so the Republi-
cans of Friendsville, hearing of their
deserved fame, selected this band to
play for them at their last. rally at
that place Saturday night and from
reports from that progressive place

superior according to numbers) of the
