BRIEF MENTION.

++++++++++++++ + + + +++ =
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1905-02-09

Mary Yeast Compton died in New
Philadelphia, Ohio, on the first day
of February, 1905, in the eighty-fouTth
year of her age. She had been pain
fully i'll for long time, being confin-
ed to her bed for one year. Her
death, although sOrrOwful to many,
was Il relief to herself and others.
She was the oldest child and daugh-
ter of Jacob and Sarah BrownY east.
She was born near old Grantsville in
July, 1921, where she grew up to wo-
manhood. She was married to Robert
Compton something over sixty years
ago. She leaves a number of children,
grand and great-grandchildren to
share in their great loss. She and
her husband moved to the place
where she died in 1850. The husband
came to his death in a shocking man
ner. During the night of the Presi-
Dental election of 1856, on his way
home, he was waylaid and murdered
and then his body thrown into a stone
quarry where it was found the follow
ing day. No clue to the perpetrator
of the foul crime was ever found. She
remained a sorrowing widow for forty
eight wearisome years, with no wish
for change, though her widowhood
began at the hopeful age of 80 wears.
Mrs. Compton and her husband were
well known members ,of prominent
families of Garrett county.
There are now but few who re-
member Mary and Robert Compton.
She made but one home visit during
her long absence of fifty-four years,
that about twenty years since. Even
the kindred of these once well known
persons have become few in the orig
inal home places. OLD FRIEND.

Keeping Warm.

Many persons who suffer from cold
extremities accept the discomfort as
condition which is natural, and
therefore beyond their control. The
remedy really lies with themselves,
and does not consist in hugglng the
stove or staying indoors, or in any
other artificial protection.
The reason one feels cold first in
the extremities is not alone because
they are the remotest points reached
by the blood in it's circulation, but al
so because they contain network of
the minute blood vessels known as
capillaries, in which the blood cur
rent tends to stagnate. When this
happens, the nerves, unwarmed by
fresh blood, ache in consequence.
The small boy who leayes a warm
house on cold winter morning
usually starts on the run, or romps
about for a while in the snow. This
activity gives such an impetus to his
| circulation by the rapid breathing
| which it necessitates that the boy is
sooniin a glow. Not every one can
initiate the boys activity or enjoy
his fun, but all can initiate his
breathing
Breathing completes the circula-
ton. The heart pumps the blood
out through the arteries, which be
come smaller and smaller until they
are microscopic. This may be in the
wall of.the heart itself or in the great
| toe, but wherever it is the blood cur
rent there becomes almost stagnant.
1t is as il river had debouched into
a broad lake. On the other side of
the lake are the venous capillaries
with which the arterial capillaries
connect, and which carry the blood
back TO the heart. The question
whether the blood shall stagnate here
or be frequently renewed is, then, a
matter of providing for its speedy en-
trance into the venous capillaries and
its subsequent movement through the
larger veins to the heart. This in
turn is matter of breathing, because
breathing, by its suctionlike action
the so called aspiration Of the thorax
-accelerates the speed of the blood
on its return to the heart. A deep
breath thus makes influence felt at
those distant points where blood is
hating and nerves are tingling.
The rule for keeping warm is, there
fore, first to clear the nose, and to
breathe well, both deeply and. rapid

A Modern Dwelling Soon To Be Occu-
pied.
The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
L. Martin, on Oak street, is nearing
completion and it bids fair to outri-
val many other modernly constructed
houses in Oakland for dwelling pur-
poses. Not onlyis it INTELLECTUALLY
beautiful, but it is likewise fitted from
cellar to roof with everything that
is modern in heating and sanitary APP
pliances.
Recently the REPUBLICAN, through
the courtesy of Mr.. D. E. Bolden, of
the firm of d. E. Bolden & Co., the
| contractors who erected the structure,
was permitted to view the interior of
the building, and it was very pleas
ingsight indeed. Enteringthrought
front door one is confronted with the
beautiful reception hall with the par
lor and library lying to either side,
/ both rooms of considerable dimen-
sions. At the rear of the hall is the
stairway, a model in every respect. In
the rooms referred to are handsome
tile and hardwood mantles with fire.
places of good proportions. On the
first floor are also the kitchen, pan
try, dining room and closets for china,
etc. The second floor is beautifully
arranged, looking to the convenience
] and comfort of the occupants, con-
tanning several rooms, linen closets,
bath and sanitary rooms.
The building is heated with hot
water and will be lighted by cleo
tricity.
The colonial style CT architecture
is combined with the present day
style of building and the effect is
marked. The walls are constructed
of light brown brick
Mr.. Martin is very much pleased
with the building, The citizens OF
Oakland would like to see many more
of these modern residences built here.

reported to have occurred sometime

engaged in the construction of tele-
graph lines for the Western Union

One of the greatest social events
that ever occurred in the town of
Piedmont took place i'll the opera
house on last Monday evening. The
members of Piedmont Aerie, Frater-
nal Order of Eagles, gave an anniver-
sarY banquet which was attened bv
two hundred birds. The opera house
was handsomely decorated in the
colOrs of the order, the beauty of the
decorations being brilliantly illumi-
mated by hundreds of tiny incaudes-
cent lights of different colors, red,
white and blue predominating. The
menu comprised all the substa ntials
and delicacies of the season and was
arranged on the banquetIng boards
IN the most appetizing manner. The
LIQUID refreshments ran all the way
up from hot mocha and Java and
extract of malt and hops to fine old
Burgundy with whiskers on. The
cigars were of the best Havana, twelve
inches long, and produced nothing
but red, white and blue smoke, this
adding to the patriotic feelings that
the surroundings naturally engender-
ed. The POSTMASTER, Attorney Harry
Drane, was Il peach, fully ripe, hand
picked from the topmost bough, of
delicious flavor that suited the taste
of members and guests. The cyclone
orator and bald eagle of the Allie
GAMES, Hon. David Dick, travelled all
the way from Baltimore to.be present
at the banquet and added two and a
half. hours of his characteristic elo-
>quence TO the program. His efforts
were fully appreciated and had the
birds tluttering with enthusiasm and
excitement from the beginning to the
end of his grafton. Dick was the star
attraction of the occasion and made a
great hit with the Piedmont boys.

GOOD ROADS IN NEW JERSEY

The recent death of the Hon. Hen
rY l. Budd, Commissioner of Public
Roads of the State of New jersey,
has again directed attention, especial
ly in Maryland where the good roads
movement is rapidly progressing, to
the road system of New Jersey and
the state measures that have made
possible the excellent highways of
which that state now boasts. As q
pioneer in the construction of modern
stone highways, New Jersey has
through her past experience indirect
ly assisted many other states in build
ing good roads, and the county res
iGents of Maryland will find much
encouragement and instruction upon
this important subject in consider
ing the great extent and cost of the
annual road-building operations in
New Jersey and the excellent returns
in money, progress, and satisfaction
which has resulted therefrom.
The growth of New JERSEY has been
due in direct measure to her good
roads. These induced occasion visi-
tors from New York, PENNSYLVANIA,
New England, and other sections of
our country to become permanent
residents in the state. These per-
suaded others to follow them, and
New Jersey drew brains, energy and
capital of other states to within her
borders. Today after persistent eff
fort in the same direction-namely,
good roads and more good roads
New Jersey though forty second in
area has twice as many miles of good
roads as any state in the Union, and
the prosperity of her people is thought
to justify the expense which the roads
have cost. Maryland is now to ex.
pend annually in the same direction
liberal appropriation of her state
funds, and a benefit commensurate
with the outlay may be expected as
Il result.
New Jerseys experience with her
good roads has justified the passage
in 1903 of a new state road law per-
uniting an expenditure for good
roads of 100000. MARYLAND, by vir-
tue of her new state aid road law will
appropriate annually 5000, 900 for the
same purpose. In the past ten years
New Jersey has appropriated 81, 515,-
1853 and the counties have spent
double this sum. in all there have
been built and are now under con-
tract over $50 miles of road, and there
are outstanding applications for
about 500 miles of road for which the
state has yet made no appropriation,
Has this outlay been justified by
the sresults? The willingness of the
counties 20 pledge themselves for two
thirds of the cost would seem to an
swer in the affirmative. During the
year 1908 New Jersey started oyer 70
different road improvements, aggre-
eating 100 miles.
Nineteen counties took advantage
of the state aid road law and petition
ed for state aid, and only two coun-
ties.in all failed to demand any por-
ton of the appropriation. The coun-
ties prepare for most of their road
building in the winter months aud
begin construction as soon as the
weather permits, and the activity of
some of the counties of New Jersey
during this season is remarkable.
Three counties of the state in 1908
completed %, Is and 124 miles respec-
lively in addition TO other roads I'M
der construction which were complet-
ed in the next year.
