Mr.. Charles NJ. Miller, of Swanton,
himself a soldier of, the South during
the Civil War, contributes to these
columns today an article relative to
the reunion of the Union soldiers at
the Park on the closing day of the
Assembly. AS patriotic and literary
production Mr.. Miller's letter is
all that can be desired and sheds a
lustre upon the writer for the kind
words he has to say of his late foes.
Such men makes the United States
what it is today-a nation among
nations.
Mr.. Ed. Onutt started for Cumber-
land this morning in his automobile,
being accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. r. Offutt and Mrs. J. Wilson
HumbirG. The route taken by the
party was by way of Accident and

destination. Mr.. Offutt expects to
make the run to Cumberland by four
o'clock this afternoon. The party

SUNDAY via Mount Storm and Cor
mania.
One hundred copies of the new
Methodist hyInnal have been receiy-
ed by st. Paul's NJ. E. church, in Oak
land and will be used on Sunday for
the first time. The hymnal is the re-
suit of the labors of joint commit
tee of twenty-five ministers and lay
men appointed in equal numbers by
the two branches of the church
North and South, and upon which
work progressed for many months.
The books are substantially bound
and contain many new hymns, orders
of service, the Psalter and ritual.
Mr.. w. A. Carr, of McHenry, who
has been employed by the Meadow
Mountains Lumber Company whose
works were located until recently at
Friendsville, passed through Oakland
last Saturday with number of hors-
cs EN- route to Durbin, West Va, the
new location of the Meadow Noun
tain Company since the sale of its
holdings in this county which was
made several weeks ago to a Pennsyl-
vania firm. The large mill owned by
the old company is now being remov-
ed from Friendsville to Durbin. The
railroad tracks leading from the mill
into the cuttings have already been
shipped to the new base of opera
tions. By the removal of the plant
from Friendsyille hundred men will
be thrown out of employment there
and in consequence business at that
point will suffer.
a large crowd of Salisbury people
attended the picnic at Jennings, Md,
last Saturday Most of them went
there in a side-door palace car hauled
by Uncle Josh Messersmith's faithful
engine, with Uncle Josh at the throt-
tie. 1t was free train, and started
from West Salisbury at about $50 a.
m, returning in the evening. The
picnic was a great success, but the
ball game between Salisbury and
Jennings ended in row. The Sails
bury boys charged that the umpir-
ing was outrageously unfair. and
threw up the sponge in the seventh
inning, when the score stood Z to
in favor of Salisbury. The hotel did
a rushing business, and the meals
served were fine. Owing to there be-
ing no liquor sold at Jennings, the
crowd was very orderly, and it was a
treat to many persons to go through
the large model sawmill owned and
operated by Jennings Brothers. An
other thing that attracted much at
tention was "Hook" Billmeyer's
patch of cultivated ginseng. Hook
has a patch of the valuable plant
that is valued at about $5,G00.-Salis-
bury Star.
