scenes of his boyhood, youth and young
manhood. The JOURNAL, glad to see
him, incidentally congratulated him
upon the favorable mention of his name
for the city mayoralty. This was not
plimentary persitiage, bnt the eX-
preston of a conviction that if Cumber-
land wants an up-to-date man of iron

at hand in Roderick Clary.

TOWN AND VICINITY.

The question of baseball is just now
agitating the fans. "TO be or not to
be-" is what they are asking just now.
So, to settle the question, it has been
decided that a meeting of all who are at
all interested will be held at the St.
Cloud Hotel next Tuesday evening. 3lst
inst, at o'clock, and it is hoped the at
tendance will be large enough to give
encouragement to the promoters, who
earnestly desire to have good, first
class home team here during the coming
season.
There is certainly enough first class
material in and around this old town to
get together a premier grand aggregation
that will be strong enough to hold its
own with any team on Georges Creek.
The grounds are i'll fairly good con
dition. and little money spent on the
fence and grand stand will put the Park
in reasonably good condition.
If the necessary talent will volunteer
to play, the game can surely be made
interesting.
Homecoming, Midland, Mt. Savage,
and other neighboring towns are getting
their teams in shape, and it looks pretty
good for baseball this season
Everyone, therefore, who is at all in
terested in the great national game,
whether player, "fan,' or just an or
binary patron, will be welcome at the
meeting, and any plans, suggestions or
advice he or they can give TO make base
ball go, will be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, don't wait for any other in
vitation, but be on hand at the place and
time mentioned

A correspondent of the Baltimore
NewS asks that paper
Who owns the side walks?
The NeWS replies
The city owns the side walks.
So in Frostburg.
The town owns the side walks, but
the abutting property owner must make
and keep them passable.
This enables the town to spoil them
by giving them away to pole companies
The town owns the streets also, but
the abutting property-owner must pay
one-third cost of paving.
And then the town can give them
away to electric road companies.
The property has no privilege
in connection with his frontages except
to pay, pay, pay.
