cusSlOn by our most thoughtful citizens,
and the general opinion is-that "Citi-
zen was inspired by some church peo-
pie to write AS he did.
| am not, therefore, prepared to say
such is the case, but let us look into the
true condition of affairs as they exist in
FrOstburg to. day. If any church i'm
provement is desired the church people
do not hesitate to ask financial aid from
the tobacco merchants of the town, or
refuse to accept contributions from them,
and | am Informed they always give lib
orally. No later than Wednesday, Jan.
10th, four ladies made a canvass of the
business places in FrOstburg, soliciting
aid for the Improvement of a prominent
Protestant church, and | can assure you
they did not pass the SIX cigar-stOreS that
"Cltizen' referred to- | am reliably in
formed also that they received substan-
tial help from those same stores.
Why did not "Citizen' make some
reference to the Sunday concerts given
by the U. S. Marine Band, of Washing
ton. ID. c., at Allegany Grove under the
auspices of the Allegany Grove Associa-
ton last summer, both afternoon and
night-when excursion trains were run
on the G. and p. r, and G. and w. e.
r., and tickets We're sold at 25 cents for
each admission to the Grove?
1t appears to me that all that violation
of the law was held eXcuSable because
done i'll the interest of the church Yet
every resident of the county of mature
years knows full we'll that Alleganv
Grove is controlled by the churches OF
this county. Two loud, noisy Band con-
certS, however, are given on Sunday
without IA gruut of proteSt-not even
from Citizen"
Then, again. refreshments are sold on
the grounds on Sunday, aid this is treat
ed as though it We're not a violation of
the Sunday law by the present guardians
of that law.
1t is not the intention of the writer of
this letter to say anything unjust of the
church, yet is it Christian justice to per-
NIT the violation of the Sunday law
simply because the church reaps the ben
eft from such violation?

"Citizen' makes an unwarranted at
tack upon our local county officials when
he says they fail to do their duty, for
can say truthfully that those men are
honorable, conscientious officers, who
never fail to perform their duty when
occasion demands. The same can be
said of our very efficient and popular
bailiff.

condition of affairs i'll Frostburg would

We will miss thee, sweet AGNES
Miss thy charm and thy grace
From the Joyous home circle,
Thine aCcustom d, true place.
We will miss thy kind deeds
Thy generous goodwill;
Thy devotion to parents
TO kindred as we'll.
All, how well we remember
Thine effort to please
In the midst of atillCtiOn
Thou seem Il always at ease.
No martyr 'er suffer
With any less fear
With fOrtltude hoier
Or faith more sincere.
'Tis said the Lord chastenS
Those whom He'd remove
From the turmOllS of life
TO a true home above.
And so He endOws them
With great strength to bear
The crosses He sends them
Without tater or fear.
o, that was the great blessing,
Dear vouchsafed to you
Through your own native merit
And your Faith that was true.
As we take our leave of you,
To-day round your bier,
From your place IN High Heaven
Offer prayer for US here
That we. too, fight the battle
Our souls to prepare
For the glory that's promised,
When we meet you up there.
Fond parents, don't mourn;
Your child lies asleep
On the bosom of Mary
o, pray, do not weep
Her suiferings are ended
You have done your part well,
Your child is IN Heaven
Forever to dwell.

key on Sunday This he has no right of
any kind to do, and IT seems to me that
our law makers ought to be able and
willing to amend the present sweeping
Act 10y drawing a distinct line between
the crime of selling whiskey and the
comparatively harmless sale of cigars on
Sunday. The law should fit the time in
which we live not survive the need of

W Roosevelt is settled down at Oys-

will not be able to escape from a good
