Here is tangle An old man of fifty
and young man of twenty-eight, both
widowers. The young man has a step
daughter thirty-eight years old, that he
marries to the older gentleman, and in
return takes the OLD. mans daughter for
a wife. Now what relation are those
four people to one another.
Ages pass, but each returning Easter
brings again its lessons of sacrifice, of
unselfshness and of great love for hu-
mainly. Great snowy banks of lilies,
emblems of purity, are offered in re-
membrance of the greatest self-abnega-
lions in the history of the world. In
vast cathedral and modest chapel vi
brates majestic music of praise for that
most wonderful resurrection, upon
which is based the faith of the highest
people of the earth.
And it came to pass that after he had
advertised his goods, there came unto
him great multitudes from all the re-
gions round about and did buy of him.
AND when his competitors saw it they
marveled among themselves, saying:
'How be it that this man is busy while
we loaf idly about our doors?" And he
spake unto them: "In this fast age of
push and rustic it is easier for camel
to enter the eye of needle than for a
man to flourish with out advertising.
Mr.. John T. Harvey, one of our sub
stantial friends from over Kitzmiller-
ville-way, was in the city yesterday on
business when he made this office a
brief visit. Mr.. Harvey reports the
damage to roads and bridges between
his home and Oakland, as result of the
terrific rain storm which passed over
this section of the country Tuesday
night, as being extremely heavy and
that many days must elapse before the
roads are in condition to travel by any
other means than horseback or walking.
DR.. G. W. Slick, ex-Surgeon-General
Of Thoburn Post, G. A. R., now of
Grantsville, was here several days this
week. He treated some former patients
and was treated in several instances by
the latter, both sides feeling better i'm
mediately after treatment. Dr. Slick
speaks well of Grantsville, the National
Pike beyond 1.-The wedge" and of Liv-
engood. In fact, the doctor reciprocates
friendly feeling, and would have good
word for his enemies, should he ever
find out he has any. Frostburg Jour-

The Board of County Commissioners
sold at public auction on Monday the
old Corrigan house, located on the lot
which is to be used a site for the pro-
posed new court house, to Mr.. Roy
Wintersl for the sum of SOL. There
a number of bidders. The house is one
of the old landmarks of this part of the
country, having been erected many
years ago, being used successfully as a
hotel, private residence, and latterly as
the home of Mr.. John Menhorn and the
Office of Justice A. S. Teats. By the
terms of the sale Mr.. Winters must re-
move the building within a specific
time.
Henry Swauger purchased on Tues
day last the old John Wegman home
stead in Grantsville, Nd. He intends
to pull down the old house, which is one
of the oldest landmarks in Grantsville,
Nd, and erect two new houses on the
property. Mr.. Wegman, the former
owner of the aforesaid estate, for many
years conducted a store and country
tannery at Grantsville, and his tannery
was one of the last country tanneries in
that locality to go out of business as a
result of the gigantic city concerns that
made country tanning improbable. The
old Wegman estate was purchased from
ex-Sheriff Chas. Wegman, trustee, for
for consideration of $575.
There is no reasonable excuse for any
man to live in a town if he doesn't like it,
If you have no word of commentator
to say for your town. its institutions or
people, emigrate. You won't stop the
town clock by going away. The church
bells will have the same musical ring,
the little dogs will play Just as well and
the pure air, bright sunshine and spark
ling water will have the same health
giving properties. Speak good word
for your neighbor, if you can; if you
cannot, don't everlastingly enlarge on
their faults. If you have become thor
oughly disgruntled move away; go some
where where things will suit you.
