REGISTRATION FIGURES GO
OVER TEN THOUSAND MARK

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 30
Though the figures are not entirely
compiled, the registration figures for
this county this year will be over the
10000 mark, and may go quite bit
over that figure. The largest previous
registration was 1890 names two years
ago, so that the increase is probably
in excess of 1900.

DR.. w. c. Hooking and family, of
DuQuesne, Pa, spent their usual holt
day vacation with the doctors sisters
and brothers, east Union street.
The Salisbury pa star pays the fol
lowing tribute to a man who is a
familiar figure in Frostburg. The
tribute is warm one, and, still better,
it is fully deserved:
Our old friend, John O. Winter, the well
known cattle buyer, of Midlothian, Nd ar
rived in town several days ago. He has
many friends and customers here who are
always glad to see him. for he has been buy
ing cattle all over Somerset county for more
than 30 years. 1t is said of MIN by people
who know him like book that he never
repudiated a contract or went back on his
word in single instance, no matter whether
he gained or lost heavily in cattle deal
John q. Winter is a man who has the repu-
tatiOn of doing business on the square, and
his word is as good as any mans bond.
Furthermore, he has acquired a nice cOmpe-
tency, where many dishonest cattlemen
have failed, all of which goes to show that
honesty is invariably the best policy in the
end. The form of John o. Winter is a
familiar one that we hope to see at frequent
intervals in our locality for a goodly num-
Der of years vet and 1t always affords us
pleasure to take a man of his stamp by the
hand and give it warm, hearty grasp.

The comedy sensation of the year will
be at the Frostburg Opera House next
Monday evening, said to be the best
musical production that will visit town
this season. Fatty Felix" the original
New York Cartoon Fat Boy, has left
sunny smiles i'll every home from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The old saying,
laugh and the world laughs with you"
was never truer said than in the present
instance. AS the songs and jokes are
brand-new and up-to-date, the kind
everyone whistles as they leave the
theatre, the company has played to
packed houses since it opened, and the
public is assured of an up to-date and
extremely pleasing performance.
Lincoln j. Carter's latest and best
masterpiece, "Too Proud to Beg will
appear at FroStburg Opera House next
Friday, 18th inst. The play was put
on for one week during it first season
at Mr. Carriers theatre-"TheC Criterion"
in Chicago, and everyone who saw the
performance spoke in glowing terms of
its many interesting features and novel
surprises. The plot is said to contain
more than the ordinary stage story, CON
sistent to a fault, clean-cut, with a
wealth of deep heart interest, pathos
and a rich quality of keen humor that
bubbles and bursts all through the play
Indeed, quite little of the dialogue is
Ill the hands of the comedy parts and
the fun-makers keep up a rafting line
of humor, satire and keen wit There
are no scene effects with the attraction,
but splendid array of gorgeous scenery
beautiful in coloring and tasteful in
design, Is carried.
