Mr.. Pink Whiskers, of Pocahontas,
played scurvy trick on Titus A. Brick
the other day. Pink offered to bet Titc
that he couldn't carry two pounds from
Fred. Durr's store to the Council Cham
Der. lite took the bet" Whereupon
Pink placed quart bottle of whiskey
on the scales-2 pounds exactly, handed
it to lite and told him it was his'n.
Tite told the umpire to decide that Pink
was the "Finisher" before the game
began.
Fire in the mountains look dangerous
at night and fill the world with smoke
during the day.
Titus A. Brick, at Bullygany one day
last week, heard John StOddart, post
mastergeneral of that town, say that
Fred. Stevens, mayor, tried to get Il
tramp to work OUT on the streets
nights lodging in the lock up, telling
him, among other inducements, that cit
would give him good appetite for hog
and hominy." Col. Whoop Koffkutter
was present, however, and spoiled the
mayors game by remarking that 1.-THE
hOminv season would not arrive until
the day after Thanksgiving, but up in
Frostburg hog is fashionable all the
time"
The Cumberland .NeWs tells of "a for
mer Finisherl III this city visiting friends"
Which suggests that it wouldn't be
bad idea to get some word from Il latter
Finisher
There is one good thing about Dowies

The Cumberland NPws hollers dan

marks. Sounds like the other side

While the days are bright and sunny
Let not the shiny hours slip
But gather up your winter kinding
While the frost is on the chip.

While at work on top of s;ep-ladder
in the rooms undergoing preparation for
the advent of the Gerken Photographic
studio, Thursday of last week, George
Wehner, owner of the property, fell
about 8 feet and had the great mis-
fortune to break his left arm. He is a
heavy man and the ladder broke under
his weight.
John Twigg, of Cumberland, at work
on the new Union-street Baptist Church,
was painfully hurt Friday of last week
He was descending ladder when ii
fellow workman above him accidentally
dropped piece of scantliug. This fell
upon the hand by which Twigg had
hold of the ladder. Letting go, Twigg
fell about IA feet. Between the two
hurts he was badly shaken up, but at
last account he was improving rapidly.
