The Electric Railroad.

Very satisfactory progress Is being
made with the electric railroad, the sur
veying corps now being near Lewistown
with the completed line. Profles will at
once be prepared and bids asked for not
later than August 1st.
The Mayor and Aldermen of Frederick
have been asked for franchise for the
use of Fourth street, and for such other
street or streets as will enable the road
to have a connection at the B. & o.
freight and passenger depot. On East
Fourth street the road will connect with
the Pennsylvania, and this will give the
road splendid facilities for hauling freight.
The road will be graded from the Penn
sylvania railroad on Fourth street and the
tracks laid so that cars can be put on and
material hauled over the road, instead of
having to deliver it with horses and wa
CONS, thus saving several thousand dol
lars in the construction of the road. Ter
minal facilities have been secured at very
reasonable prices, and with liberal
franchise. which it is to be hoped that
the Board of Aldermen will grant, it will
give tho road splendid start.
The engineers have been instructed to
make just as few curves as possible,
which is calculated to make the road so
much more desirable to ride on, besides
saving power and wear and tear.
Coroo ~ o,,r o;%;1ane ond On, h, n r;boro IN
the stock have spoken to US with some
misgivings with regard to the road COM
ing to Thurmont. Any one giving out
such report does so with evident malic-
ious intent, for there never was time
when it was contemplated not to build
here, and besides, if the company even
wanted to do otherwise it could not, for
the charter says the road shall be built
"at or near" the town of Thurmont. Not
to build to Thurmont would be like cut
ting off your nose to spite your face. Oh
no, there is no such calamity awaiting
our town. We are in position to know
whereof we speak on this subject.
1t is to be regretted that the road is
not now in operation now. Daily some
of our citizens have to 60 to Frederick on
one mission or another; their business
only takes them but an hour or so to
transact, yet they have to spend the
whole day in the town "killing time" TN
til the train goes. Parties interested in
the settlement of three different estates
went to Frederick from this place this
week with witnesses to wills, and We
personally saw them Willing away theil
time until the first train left. When We
get the trolley this will not be the case
You can get back till dinner time ant
have half day at your work at home
We won't realize what this great conve
nience means until we get the road ant
have the pleasure Of seeing what goot
thing it is.

Our Summer Guests.

All of our srmmer boarding houses are
filled with summer guests, many OF
whom have been with US for number of
seasons, and we daily hear of the high
praises which they give to our town and
mountains.
With increased facilities for caring for
the summer boarder we could expect to
get corresponding benefits from the mon
ey which they place in circulation in our
midst. Many persons are turned away
from the lack of accommodations. This
should not be so, and we should endeavor
to make room for all who desire to come.
Our sister town, Emmitsburg, is not
near SO fortunate in having summer
boarders on account of the lack of rail-
road facilities, which is to be regretted,
located as it is in beautiful section Of
country with fine scenery, fine mountain
air and water. With the electric railroad
built that question will be solved, and
Emmitsburg will enjoy having all the
summer guests she can accommodate.

For q New Bridge.

The County Commissioners have been
petitioned for bridge at Links" Ford
over Monocacy. The "Stull's" Ford peo-

too want bridge and fear it will initiate
against them. Both bridges are needed,
but don't let one protest against the 9TH

make the commissioners feel less kindly
towards your bridge. Pitch in and help
the other fellow, and then he is morally
bound to help you.

1.-THE smile that won't come off, is a
good thing, even if you do have to "eat

get it. If you can't smile under all pro-
vocations, just try little more oats.
Smiles are always fashionable, and the
proper place to wear them is on the out
side of the face.

Their masters, grown gray in hight

still cling to the ships they love.
Aftectionately do some OF their owners
