again, MT Editor, we are seated at
our desk, scribbling TO your newsy
paper, and in our own unsophisticated
language will give your readers some
of the news and happening of Deer
Park, after a silence of some weeks,
owing to duties pertaining to our
present vocation and in our lettings"
shall only give the pleasant happen
ing, and leave the unpleasant to
oblivion.
The first that claims our attention
is the celebration of the 6jth birth
day of our aged and esteemed friend,
the venerable Rev. VIM. Z. George,
on Wednesday last. His four children
being present, viz: TheOphilus, of
Barton, Allegany county, Nd. Mrs.
John J.. Fitzwater, of Beckman; A.
Frederick, of Swanton. and Alex.
Charles, of this place. Mrs George,
mother of above named children was
81 years old the 21st of June last, and
on the 18th of June last they celebrat-
ed the siXty-tirst anniversary CT their
wedding. The combined ages of the
parents and children is $40. There
are twenty grand and eleven great
grand children living. Some of their
Children died in England before COM
ing to America and quite number
of their grand children have died in
this country. | can't close the synop-
sis of the family history of this de-
voted couple without a personal refer
ence to Rev. Mr.. Georges health.
When l last mentioned his condition
we had little hopes of his recovery,
| but we are glad to state to his many
friends both in Garrett and Alleganv,
that at this writing he is out again,
but we don't hear him singing with
the birds, but as we pass the gate of
his quiet and peaceful home, we hear
him at his family altar sending up
his petition to a Throne of Grace.
Our young friend, Mr.. Isaac H.
Germany and sister, Mrs. Yelling, of
Washington, d. c.. accompanied by
a young lady friend, Miss Alice NJ.
| Yeatman, of same city, are soiourn-
ing for a few weeks at the home of
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter S.
| Germany, of this place. Isaac is one
of the trusted employees of the Inter
ior Department, and we find him
! thin and pale owing to his close at
! tention to the clerical duties of his
| office, but we hone our mountain
ozone may be a means of drawing out
the malarial diseases of tide water
| localities.
Rev Joseph Lee, wife and two
| daughters, who has spent some weeks
at the home of Mrs. Lees mother and
brother, at Englewood, south of
! Grantsville, called and spent a few
days as the guests CT Mr.. and Mrs
Walter Engle and other relatives of
this place, returning to their home
at Wheeling Monday.
Mr.. j. H. Tarbell, the artistic land
scape photographer, is still domiciled
at Fairview Cottage and it is our
pleasure to state that his work as an
artist is far in advance of the ordinary
photographers, as is fully attested by
some fine views taken for the writer.
We certainly congratulate our talent
ed friend from the Empire State of
this great American continent, on the
magnificent views from all over this
land, many of which are noted views
of our own Garrett with its lofty
mountains and beautiful valleys.
Notably the highest point on the
great backbone of the Alleganies, his
photograph of Eagle Rock" eclipses
all of his wonderful collection of out
door scenes.
Our young friend, Rev. w. H.
Faust of the Baptist church, preach
ed one of his usual interesting sermons
in the Union church at II a. M, Sun
day last, from the text ut is Finish
ed" the last words of Jesus on the
Cross; and again at p. M, in the
Memorial church at Oakland from
the text weighed in the Balances
and Found Wanting"
Rev. DR.. Hatcher, of Richmond,
! Va, was the guest of Rev. Faust for
a few days and accompanied him on
a drive to Elder Hill, Friendsville,
Hoyes and Thayerville, and was de-
lighted. with our mountain scenery.
Ecomiums were paid by this D. D.
to the hospitality of the citizens en-
route especially to the matrons and
their fair daughters for the rich
viands that so delight these gentlemen
of the cloth. We hope the Virginia
divine will come again to our mou H.
tain county from the lowlands of his
native heath and we promise him that
that the chicken will be Just as ten

past,so come again. a GREETING of all
