A canvas covered wagon built upon
the lines of the prairie schooner and the
vehicles which used to pass by the hun
dreds over the old National Road in this
county, was the center Of attraction at
the First National Bank corner last
Friday afternoon. The wagon was
drawn by two horses and the driver of
the animals had his family consisting
of his wife and three children, his fur
niture, lumbeIman's outfit and dog
loaded into the vehicle. He stated he
was on his way to the Potomac Valley
from away back in Webster county, w.
Va, where he had recently completed
numbering contract.
The season of 1907 at the Deer Park
hotel, terminated on Sept. Both. 1t was
the most successful of any season it has
experienced and this may be attributed
to the untiring energy and zeal of w.
E. Burwell, its manager. Nearly every
state in the country was represented in
its list of visitors, and the cities of st.
Louis, Washington, D. c., Cumberland,
Fairmont and Parkersburg, w. Va,
Baltimore, Pittsburg and Chicago, were
represented in its cottage constituency.
| Every visitor departed vaith a feeling
that the healthfulness of the Garrett
county climate could not be surpassed.

of the country have announced an adj
vance in the rate to one dollar and a.

The entertainment given in the opera
house last Friday evening by the school
children in aid of the school piano fund,
was well patronized and without excep-
ton the little folks having parts in the
program acquitted themselves with
honor, due to the training they received
from Miss Anna Manages, under whose
direction the affair was given Miss
Manages, so this paper is informed, will
shortly open a class in elocution here.
She has splendid ability in this line, as
the entertainment on Friday evening

patronized there is little doubt.

heart should not be allowed to grow
old. Life should not have lost its charm,
the heart its spirit, and the body its
elasticity at 40 years. And yet how
many women are faded and wan, and
shattered in mind and health, long be-
fore they are forty. All the JOY of life
is not in youths morning. 1t we so
will it, we can, to the last moment of
life, be at least negatively happy
