Last week cur est, e nd contemporary,
The Catoctin Clarion, published the an
nouncement that all trains on the West
ern Maryland railroad stopped at Thur
mont. There is reason ard good one
as far as the railroad is concerned.
1t is simply because at that station there
is large and well-flled water tank from
which engines are compelled to take
numberless gallons of water before at
tempting to climb the steep mountain
grades beyond. This then, is the real
explanation-it is the tank. But by rea-
son of that tank Thurmont gains and
Emmitsburg loses. Chronicle.
[Ah, but you are unk!nd. We feel
keenly the dart thus thrust.
Surely it is more than water that would
compel the trains to stop at Emmitsburg.
Again don't you know that we have the
proud distinction of being "dry town.
and yet you say the only reason is for the
engines to "get full" before going over
yon mountain. Now, say, confess to it,,
amt you jealous because our town has
water tanks and not Rocky Ridge? Ed.
