week at Brookside and came TO Oakland
last Friday afternoon where he was the

day, when he returned to Washington.

as the popular priest in charge of the
Oakland church a few years ago where
he made and retained 2 large number of
friends, all Of whom mere glad TO wei
come him to Oakland, even if it We're
for only a brief visit.
A party composed Of eleven residents
of Thomas, W. Va, drove from that
point to Mountain Lake Park last Sun
day morning and registered at Nj. Lake

Rev. J. B. Workman, pastor OF St.
Paul's N. E. church, left here for
Webster Springs, W. Va, Monday
morning where he went with the hope
of beneftting his health which has
been in run down condition for several
weeks past. Mr. Workman has stood
faithfully by his work for the past five
years and the rest ne will receive by
his visit to Webster Springs, aside
from the results Of the mineral water
always at hand in that delectabe region,
will no doubt prove beneficial to him.
We trust that he may return to Oak
land fully restored to his old time vigor
and strength.
