day, and Rev. A. L. Donarchy,r Of
Frien dsyille, this county, will preach
at 3 p. N. of same day. Rev. Board,
OF Pennsylvania, breaches at night.
This with our popular stationed min
lister, Rev. w. H. Faust, and his CO.
worker, Rev. Robt. A. Smith, of
GAINESVILLE, Md, as also Rev. F. M.
Conway, of Friendsville, and Rev. n.
Hart, of Mt. Lake Park, all of whom
will be present at the services on Sab
bath, gives to Deer Park an array of
Baptist ministers such as has never
been assembled at any one place in
the county. Whilst we have not an
over abundance of water we do have
an oyer abundance of snow which
can be utilized as substitute
We are sorry to note the serious
illness of Mrs. Emanuel B. King, who
lives but short distance from this
place, and her medical attendants
have no hope of saving her life. We
extend sympathy to her kind hus-
band and family.
Mrs. +. F. Droege gave delightful
sled ride to number of her friends
of this place on Monday and spent
part of the day visiting at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Felty, Jr., of
your place, where an elegant dinner
awaited them, and a cordial greeting
from both host and hostess.
Mrs. L. d. Thrasher, accompanied
by her niece Miss Nellye Hove, of Oak
land, left Tuesday morning for Wash
ington where they will spend month
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Hendrickson,
their relatives, besides many other
frien DIS of that city and of course will
witness the inaugural ceremonies on
the 4th of March, and as the weather
has moderated we know they will en-,
joy the many places of interest in the
nations capital.
We are glad to report the improved
condition of Pauline Jones, the in
teresting little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. e. Jones, who, as has been re-
ported, was in a serious condition for
the past six weeks, but under the
skillful treatment of Doctor Nc
Comas, of your city, her devoted par
ents have every hope of her final re-
covery.
Rev. W. H. Faust, who closed 8
series of meetings at Elder H ill, where
he accomplished much good, resumed
the past week his meetings at this
place and is ably assisted by one of
his co-laborers in the state, Rev R..
A. Smith, a native of the great state
of Texas, but now located at Barnes
vile, Montgomery county, Md. This
young divine, like his state, is large,
both physically and mentally and
like his ministerial host from the
equally great state of Georgia, whilst
it can't eclipse the former in territory
nor can he in physique, but with
years he NAV prove the peer of his
Texas giant.
We had pleasant official call this
morning from Mr.. J. H. Lamberson,
an efficient police officer of the B. &
o. Railroad, who is looking after some
petty larceny along the line of the
Third division. Mr.. Henderson i'm
pressed the writer as a man not af-
flicted with the "swell head as is so
common with officers and petty ofTici-
ais of this company.
And now, Mr.. Editor, know you
as he glances at his calender and sees
Feb. 21st, 1905, and then realizes that
this, to him is a memorable anniver-
sary of Feb. 21st, 1865, and | pause
and think and can't realize that 40
years have glided into the past since
that cold frosty morning when little
Spartan band of GA men pardon the
word Spartan from one of the par
ty) entered the city of Cumberland
and captured Generals Crook and
Kelly and Major Melvin, of General
Kelly's staff. The city was guarded
by $500 infantry and 1000 cavalry and
then in later years learn that two
prospective Presidents of this great
country were also in this same city
on that exciting night of forty years
ago, one then called Col. Hayes, of an
