Our friend and neighbor, Mr.. VIM.
B. Miller, one of Garrett county's
best and most efficient workman at
his trade, has gone to Baltimore, to
work as foreman for the well known
contractors, Walsh & Bro, of that
city, and although depressed in leav-
ing his good wife and two bright eyed
little jewels and a sick father in law,
in the person of VIM. L. Shaffer, we
report the latter much better.
Mr.. Miller will work at his chosen
trade i'll helping to build up the
burned district of the Metropolis of
Maryland.
Mr.. Walter Engle, one of the recent
acquisitions to our town, was taken
suddenly faint and sick whilst atten-
ding service at the Union church yes
terday. Just as that gifted son of
Georgia, Rev. Faust, had closed one
of his most stirring appeals for sinner
to turn from his evil ways and live
for God, Mr.. Engle, owing to the
warmth of the house, became faint
and his devoted wife and her brother
assisted him home, and there in this
most coy and elegantly appointed
home soon recuperated at this writ
ing is himself again, and true to his
industrial habit is attending to his
duties as usual
Mayor f. f. Droege is suffering
with a severe cold and a sprained
ankle which has brought on rheuma-
tism from which he suffers severe pain
but reports from his home, this morn
ing find him much better, and he will
soon.be out attending to his clerical
as well as domestic duties.
Our school opened today under the
efficient management of Mr.. Bert
Browning, and his cultured assistant,
Miss Alma Crane, after a suspension
of some five weeks, owing to a scourge
of scarlet fever, which has been men
toned in former communications
We are glad to state this dread mala-
dy has abated and the majority of the
children are attending.
Our good old friend and veteran of
the civil war, John Snyder, but re-
Gently from West Virginia, Iwho pur-
chased a beautiful home in this place
a few years ago and is now occupying
it with his companion, a good and
true lady, also from the little noun
tain state" who has been visiting his
old home the past week, returned a
few days ago, and is faithful atten-
dant at the REVIVAL service of her
church.
And now, Mr.. Editor, we come to
the point intimated in our preface,
the trip up Salt River and the happy
and safe return to our dear ones left
behind.
On the morning of the 9th ult., as
dispatch after dispatch flashed oyer
the wires that Democracy had gone
down in defeat beyond doubt and
that "Marylund my Maryland" had
been swallowed up by Republican
votes. our hearts sank within us, but
summoning courage to meet the issues
gracefully, as we had met them in the
past, and in darker days, after con-
sulting with political friends of both
parties we decided to build our boat
and through the kindness of Walter
Bros, we secured timbers of the old
Davis Store building, so recently
torn down and sold to these genial
brothers, and they kindly and gratu-
itously gave us all the timber from
this old store house once owned by
our noble candidate, the Grand Old
Man of Maryland and West Virginia. "
With this Democratic timber cut and
sawed in the good ante-bellum days
when Democracy. pure and simple, of
the JeffersoDian type ruled and
reigned supreme over this glorious
land from the cold and chilly Yankee
land to the golden fields of California,
from the northern lakes and borders
of Canada to the tropical cline of the
lovely Southland and Gulf of Mexico,
