DECORATION DAY WAS
OBSERVED IN OAKLAND.
Old Soldiers and Others Participated
In the Exercises Of the Occasion.

Decoration Day was observed
as usual in Oakland on last Thurs
day when the old soldiers, members of
the Knights of Pythias, school children
and citizens generally repaired to the
cemeteries and strewed flowers upon
the graves of their departed comrades,
friends and relatives.

public, under whose direction the occa-
sion was observed, assembled at Post
Headquarters, and at 1870, under COM
mand of Col. A. G. Sturgiss, Comman-
der of the Post, took up the line of
Of march for the cemetery, followed by
the school ch ldren, under the direction

B. Q 0. Hen Must Keep Sober.

That the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company intend to get better service
and prevent accidents seems to be de-
termined upon as az men have been dis
charged from the service on the Conn
ellsville division of the road since last
pay day. The company states that
they will not tolerate having man who
uses intoxicants to run on the road, thus
preventing the loss of life and property.
The callers have been warned that they
are not to ask man to report for duty
if he is found in a saloon or if he is I'M
der the influence of liquor. The COM
pany is under the impression that many
of the recent wrecks and disasters have
been caused by the inebriety of the men
while under the influence of drink.

The people of Deer Park on each re-
curing Decoration Day make an effort

very best. Only one thing prevented
full fruition, and; that was the day
was not long enough to accomplish all
the committee planned.
The chairman Of the day was Mr..
William D. Hoye. Mr.. Hoye served in
the Confederate army, but he is broad
and liberal in his views, and applauded
the sentiments uttered blythe speakers
for the Union side.
The Deer Park Cornetssband aided the
committee by furnishing sweet music,
well rendered. Miss Florence Thrasher
presided at the organ and with an ex-
cellent quartet of young ladies, gave
The Star Spangled Banner" and
Dixie" both of which were given

Importance as a summer resort, during
their two-year term as its managers,
and the coming season looks bright with
promise of liberal patronage. Should
the season be warm one The Oak

appreciated stopping place for parties
who will attend the Exposition at James
town, and as Oakland is always patron
IL by many we'll known people of
Eastern cities, it would seem that Mr..
Eckles prospects are, if anything bright
err than for any past season. The many

CHANGE IN TRAIN SCHEDULE.
New Sunday Train From Fairmont to
Deer Park and Return an In
noVAtion,

The present train service ION the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, which be-
came effective Sunday morning at 1910
O'Clock, is the most satisfactory to the
travelling public n number of years,
especially in respect to the Sunday
trains.
Heretofore all accommodation trains
were abandoned on Sundays, thus de-
priving many persons VINO were unable
to get away from their business inter
ests in nearby towns on Saturday in or
der to spend Sunday with their families
either in Oakland, Deer Park or Noun
tain Lake Park, to take an early
morning train from Fairmont or other
western points. With the new schedule,
however, an accommo alton train
leaves Fairmsnt about seven O'Clock
and reaches Oakland at ten o'clock. 1t
runs as far east as Deer Park, retmn-
ing from that point the some evening,
arriving in Oakland at 1926 and at Fair
mont about ten O'Clock.
With the exception of this train all
others will arrive and depart at the
same time as under the old sch dule,
with the exception OF train. No. So,
which comes here now at 3.33 p. m,
instead of I'll p. m.
Beginning with last Sunday morning
all trains stop at Deer Park and Noun
tain Lake Park, and will continue to do
so until late in October, wne1 the win
ter schedule will become effective.

EIkton Landmark Sold.

Robert B. Frazer on Friday last pur-
chased from the Torbert estate the prop
erty adjoining his drug store on East
Main street, Elkton, commonly known as
the old Constable building, at 500 per
front foot, amounting to about 81, 500.
Mr. Frazer's plans are to tear down the
old building and probably enlarge his
drug store by the erection of new build
ing placed further from the street, there
by widening the pavement at that point.
The destruction of the building will
mean the passing of another of Elkton's
old landmarks, as it is one of the oldest
buildings in the town, and the Colonial
design of the entrance was an attraction
to the lover of antique in architecture.

Threshlna Outfit and Wheat
Burned.

Three large wheat stacks on the
farm of Edgar Clark, in Delaware,
near the Cecil county line, were
destroyed by fire one morning last
week.
Harry Spicer's threshing engine
had been at work hut short time
when the flames broke out, presum-
ably from a spark from the engine.
BY hard work the other four stacks
were saved, but the threshing rig
was burned together with the three
stacks
Between 700 and 800 bushels of
wheat were burned. The stacks
were insured for part of their value,
but Mr.. Clark's loss will amount to
nearly $500.
There was no insurance on the
threshing outfit which was des-
trOyed.

who carry the respective counties
