The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-09-06

Miss Lulu Fringer, who spent several
weeks in Oakland with her father, re-
turned to Baltimore last Thursday morn
ing where she will resume work as
milliner in one of the large stores of
that city, later going South where she
will remain until spring.
Mr.. c. F. Hammond, who is erecting
a glass sand plant near Corinth, six
miles west of Oakland, informs US that
he will have the machinery all installed
and will begin operations about October
lst, from which date shipments will be
made to glass factories in different sec
tons of the country.
The name Of our town stands for
picture in the minds of all who have
fingered even for a few feeting days
within the charm of its wooing beauty.
1t stands not alone as a pleasant pic
ture, but as the future ideal to its own
loyal citizens. 1t is unique among its
sisters in this country as an ideal city
Of homes, even as the county is unique
for its wealth, fertility and manifold
attractions.
Mr.. Henry Lauer, Oakland's baker,
went to New York City Monday night
where he is attending a meeting of the
master bakers of the United States and
Canada being held in that city this
week. There are over a thousand bak-
ers at the convention and royal good
time is anticipated by those attending
and Mine Herr Won der Lauer will have
his share as all know who are acquaint-
ed with him.
Why is it that no one wants to live
in the country anymore? Cities are
full of people who live from "hand
to mouth, and whose total wealth is
represented by the clothing they have
on. Years go by and these persons
never have home. They lose that in
dependence that the proud owner Of
farm has. If there is one needed re-
form it is to keep people on farms and
away from cities.
No one is so Independent as the farm
er; he doesn't have to truckle; if he is
insulted he can resent the insult without
fear Of losing trade, the improved farm
machinery he now has in use why he
should not have an eight-hour day and
such leisure for reading and study as
would soon make him one of the best in
formed men in any calling. Why
shouldn't the farmer be all this and
more? Surely he has the possibilities.
Miss Marion Moore and her brother,
Mr.. j. Leedom Moore, of Manor,
suburb of Philadelphia, were at Noun
tain Lake Park the early part of this
week. Miss Moore is a pupil at the
Friends Central, noted school, located
at 18th and Race streets, Philadelphia.
This was their first visit to the noun
tain top, and they were very much
pleased. The absence of mosquitoes
and the delicious temperature received
favorable endorsement.
1t does not cost 50 very much to own
home in our city. Lots, splendidly
located and of ample size, can be pur-
chased for little money, while building
lots sell at less than value. Building
material is as reasonable here as at
other points. Able architects and con-
tractors are ready to satisfy every de-
mand, hence to own a home is within
the range of possibility, no matter how
meager the salary or limited the means.
If man is honest, upright, and dis
plays a willingness to help himself,
there are many people here who will
give him whatever help is needed, so
long as it be within the bounds Of rea-
son.
