Let everyone keep hustling to i'm
prove the appearance of their streets
and lots. Keep all kinds of rubbish off
the streets and sidewalks, and see that
your houses, fences, etc. are neatly
painted. There is nothing that helps
the looks of town and induces new
corners to settle in it more than neatly
painted houses and fences, neat and
| tidy streets and sidewalks, and fruit
and shade trees on your lots, Let US
see what you will do for thej benefit of
our progressive little city.
With the backwardness of spring this
year, which retards the budding of
fruit bearing trees and bushes, a boun-
tiful yield of apples and berries of all
kinds is almost assured. The past two
years have been almost total failures in
this respect, or at least the past year
was, while the year preceding the terri
tic freeze which occurred during the
month Of October, froze the fruit re-
naming upon the trees, entailing a
loss of thousands of dollars upon Gar !
rett county farmers and orchardists.
Col. W. f. Burwell, manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio hotels, was in Oak
land one day last week for the purpose
of renting the Oakland Hotel to one of
our residents. Nothing along this line,
however, was accomplished, so far as
we can learn, and at the next meeting
OF the Board of Trade an effort will be
made to get into communication with
the higher officials of the railway com
pany to effect, if possible, the tenancy
OF the hotel by an up-to-date, thorough
going and experienced hotel;man.
Associate Judge Henderson, of Cum
berland, was in Oakland last Friday
where he heard in chambers the evil
dence in the attachment proceedings in
stituted several weeks ago by creditors
of Felty and Co. The defendants in the
case aim to have the proceedings set
aside and the property, at present in
the hands of Sheriff Brown, restored to
the firm. The evidence in the matter
was not concluded, and will be resumed
when Judge Henderson returns to Oak
lane sometime within the next few
days.
Where is the man 50 happy as the9I
one who applies himself to manual
labor? Where is the home so happy as
the one where each member of the |
household feels, at the close of the day, |
that they have performed some at least |
of the many duties devolying upon
them? There may be clash some day |
between capital and labor. Should this
period ever come, the hope is that labor,
with the conquering tread of hero, |
will trample beneath its heel the power
that has, to a considerable extent, made |
laDOr laDOflOuS. We are all labOrerS in /
our little city
Train No. s Sunday morning expert
enced a narrow escape from being
wrecked as it was passing through Oak !
land. Just as the engine was on the
Second street crossing one of the drive
bars snapped and fell to the ties. The
engineer had the train well under CON
troll, however, and brought it to stop
in remarkably short distance. Pas
sengers were transferred to train No.
2, which followed No. within half an
hour, and the empty cars were taken on
east along with the disabled engine by
freight locomotive, which was
brought here from Terra Alta for the
purpose.
