The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-05-30

Labor is one of the supreme laws of
life. Toll is honorable The progress
which the world has made is a glorious
testimonial to human handiwork. Those
who work know more of genuine hap
piness than those whose lives seem ded-
icated to idleness.
We have no prejudice against the
neatly dressed, nice appearing boy,
while we do detest the fellow who goes
around looking like bunch of hard
luck, but a girl looking for a model
husband should be careful If you dom
know one when you see him, ask moth
er-she will reconIze him at sight.

In order that the employees of THE
REPUBLICAN may properly observe Dec
Grafton Day this paper is issued on
Wednesday instead of Thursday this
week, which accounts for the lack of
local news appearing in its columns.
The Decoration Day articles, however,
which will be found on page eight, make
up the deficiency in this respect.
DR.. John E, Legge, who took post
graduate course of nearly three months
in surgery at one of the New York
hospitals, returned to Oakland Monday
morning and has resumed his practice
here. While in New York DR.. Legge
witnessed and also assisted in preform-
ing some extremely delicate operations,
thus gaining practice as well as expert
ence and consequently his knowledge of
surgery is greatly enlarged.
Mr.. James Myers, of near Sunnyside,
was in Oakland yesterday on his way
home from a visit to Ohio, and made
this office a brief visit Mr.. Myers
stated that during his life time of
seventy years, which he has spent in
this part of the country, the present
spring is the coolest and most backward
in his recollection. Other old-time resi-
dents quite agree with Mr.. Myers in his
statement.
All honor to the man who earns his
living by honest toll. He, it is, above
all others, who is always pulling for
better things. He is always on the
front seat of the community band wag-
on. He is the first resident to greet
the stranger and tell him that he is
visiting the best town in the state. He
is ready to fight, at the drop of hat,
the fellow who willingly runs down the
community's best along with its worst,
and there is something inspiring in his
cordial invitation to the chronic croaker
to "move somewhere else. Z"
