Hall on Alder street, Oakland, on Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday, June 1919.
the Turner Art Exhibit of Boston,
Mass, consisting of two hundred and
fifty photographs of the worlds master
pieces, varying in size from the ordinary
one to the largest photograph ever
made, and constituting, as the Boston
Transcript says, The finest collection
ever gathered together.
AS proof of the popularity we would
cite the fact that a few weeks ago,
when exhibited in Detroit, Mich, 25. 900
people visited it and also that three
ward schools in Pittsburg sold IS, 900
worth of tickets. Mr.. F. E. Rathbun
has had it twice in Piedmont with great
success.

ton of this debt.
1t hoped that every lover of art and
person interested in the public school
will visit the exhibit. The admission

and 2 to s and 8 to 10 p. m.

GRAND Jury REPORT.
Grand Inquest Adjourned Last Friday
and Was DISCHARGED.

Last Friday afternoon the grand jury
for the June Term of the Circuit Court,
after making up its report, adjourned
and was discharged by Judge Boyd.
The report follows:
The grand jury for the June Term,
1909, of the Circuit Court for Garrett
county, begs leave to report that we
have now concluded our labors as grand
jurors and have, to the best of our abiI-
ity, performed the duties devoIving
upon US as members of this body ana
we now desire to report our proceedings
and receive our discharge.
In the performance of the duties de-
volving upon US and of the trust i'm
posed in US, we have endeayored to DO
our duty without fear or favor and in
accordance with the oath administered
to US and the charge of your Honor.
We have had before US and have ex-
amined one hundred and twelve wit
ness and have found twenty-eght pre-
sentiments and bills of indictment.
We have found presentments in all
cases in which we believe the evidence
warranted and justified and have ignored
trivial cases and those in which the evil
dence did not appear to warrant pre-
sentiments.
There appears that no crimes of a
very serious nature have been commit
ted in this county since the last term of
the Circuit Court
We have in accordance with the pro-
vision of the law visited the public
buildings of the county and are pleased
to find them in excellent condition.
We have also inspected the records
and find them kept in a careful, neat
and excellent manner and much credit
is due to E. z. Tower, Esq, Clerk of
the Court, as we'll as the other county
officials keeping the same and having
them in charge.
We desire further to record our APP
probation and pride in our magnificent
new court house.
We make the following recommended
tons in reference to the court house:
That grading be done in the rear of the
court house and that suitable drain or
sewer be speedily placed in the rear or
east side of the court house in order to
drain the water from the building and
prevent the waterifowing from the
bank to the foundations, which if con-
tinued will likely cause the settling and
cracking of the walls of the court house;
that drain be constructed at the sher-
ifs residence to carry off the water
from the spouting on the building and
that the porch at the sheriff S residence
be repaired. We also recommend that
the well at the court house be closed
and locked at night,
We desire to express our appreciation
TO Judge Boyd and the officials of the
county for the many courteses shown
us, and We desire further to acknowledge
and express thanks and appreciation to
Mr.. j. C. Renninger, States Attorney,
for the valuable aid and assistance
given US in the course of our investiga-
tions.

Family Reunion.

On Thursday of last week there was
large family reunion at the new home
of Mr.. George E. Bishoff, near Oakland.
Despite the unusual inclemency of the
weather during the week the family
managed so well to get together that
there was but one absentee among the
children and their husbands and wives,
that being a son-in-law, Geo. w. Kemp,
who resides on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. 1t was the occasion of the
fathers sixty-sixth birthday and was
attended by few others besides the
members of the family. This was the
first time all the sons and daughters had
been together since the marriage of the
Oldest daughter about twenty years
ago, and it is needless to say that it
was enjoyed by all present.
Those of the family who were present
with their parents are as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. c. H. Bishoff, Barnum, w.
Va; Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Custer, Graf
ton, W. Va; Mr.. and Mrs. T. E. Bis
hoff, Hoyes; Mrs. G. W. Kemp, Princess
Anr :; Mr.. and Mrs. H. P. Miller,
Grantsville; Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Cas-
teel, Oakland; W. E. Blshoff, Johns
town, Pa. Pearl, who is at home, and a
number of children of the families men,
toned. Others in attendance were Rev.
j. M. Davis, NJ. R. Hamill, wife and
daughter, and William Casteel and fam
lily, all of Oakland, and T. H. Cuppett,
of Hoyes. The total numbered thirty
four.

HAD A PLEASANT VOYAGE
heSsrS. Speicher and Miller Arrive
Safely in Liverpool, England.

To the Editor of The Republican:
No doubt some of our friends would
be glad to hear from US while crossing
the great Atlantic. We left New York
Wednesday, May 20. At p. m. we
babe farewell to the shores of America,
and have seen no land since. All that
we can see is the clear blue sky above
and the deep blue sea beneath.
We will first give you the name and
description of the boat on which we are
sailing, rs. S. Mauritania" This boat
is 100 feet in length and 81 feet in
height. 1t takes 1000 tons of coal to
run 1t from New York to Liverpool.
There are l89 firemen; of course all do
not work at one time. The ships crew
consists of 800, and all white. There
are over 3, 600 passengers aboard. The
food and treatment is first class, in
short do not see how it could be better.
This is Saturday evening, May %.
We have enjoyed the trip very much so
far. Of course we did small part in
feeding the fish. While there is no
pleasure in being sick, still we did not
mind that very much, as there was
more room outside than in.
The first day she made 587 miles. sec
ond 602, third COS, fourth 500. You see
she is a good swimmer. We expect to
land at Liverpool Monday sometime.
There are four of US in our room. We
have with US Mr. Wood from Paunxsua-
tawney, Pa, and Mr.. Arthur Jones fir m
South Wales. Mr.. Wood is native of
England. They are both on their way
back to visit their native land. We
have met people from England, Ireland,
Scotland, Switzerland, Wales and many
from different States in the United
States.
Saturday was athletic sports day on
ship deck. The program consisted of
races of all kinds, such as wheelbarrow,
potato, cigarette races, etc. At night
a musical concert was held for the bene-
fit of the Seaman's Orphan Institution
at Liverpool, of which there are over
900 children on the books. A collection
was held which amounted to $50.
On Sunday religious servives were
held in the dining saloon at II a. m. ard
1902 m. The day was an ideal summer
day. The sea was very calm.
This (Nonday) morning at SIS we
went on deck to get our first view of
the green shores OF old Ireland. This
was certainly very interesting to US.
At the Queenstown Harbor a tender
boat met US to receive mail, baggage
and passengers for Ireland. This was
the first stop we made since leaving
New York. About 800 bags of mail,
innumerable trunks, luggage and about
two hundred and fifty passengers were
transferred to tender, which consumed
about 20 minutes time. Then the huge
engines of 70, 900 horse power were set
in motion again, heading for Liverpool,
which will be our next stop. This boat
is due to arrive at Liverpool, where we
leave this ship. We expect to make close
connection with train for Paris, France,
via London.
With the exception of a slightindispo-
sition which lasted for only few hours
on the third day out, caused by the salty
breeze of the Ocean, our trip so far has
been a pleasant one. We will let you
hear from US again later.

work and if | only travel half
of the rest of the road has an
average amount of families
living on them it would amount
to about 260 days work, there
is some difference between 260
days work and So days work.
| hope, brother carriers, none
of you have such people to deal
with if you do you have my
sympathy, now brothers my
idea is this. "Put the road
system back to the old way and
then put the grade in good
shape and have the culverts in
the right place and be sure and
Keep the water going where it
belongs" With the extended
use of the road drag and we
will have as good roads as
could be expected, where they
are made entirely of earth.
Now then there would be 36
miles of road in a township if
there was a road on every sec
tion line. One man could drag
ten miles a day ten miles out
and ten miles back. Il would
take one man and four horses
not over four davs to drag the
whole township Now il they
would throw up a good grade
all along and be sure to put the
cuiverts in the right places an d
make them big enough and be
careful to keep the side bitches
open so the water would have
to follow the sides. By using
the road drag not more than
four times a year we would
have q good deal better roads
than we have by working them
the way they do now. Now
brother carriers as you know
1.-THE rural caraiers ali over the
| United States are are talking
and working and doing all they
can toward good roads. Now |
have scheme in my head some
LOT you may not approve of it
and | will be glad to hear any
thing anyone has to say about
it. Now my plan is this to
form a Rural Patrons good
roads Association.
This can be done my friends
by calling our patrons together
in our home towns. let each
town have it's own organization
and appoint delegates to the
county convention once a year
and getting the carriers all over
the state to do likewise, we
would soon have something do
ing. My friends, who does
good roads and rural service
benefit the most? Nobody but
the rural patrons. They have
their produce to haul and their
mail is hauled to them over
these same roads. This road
question is a big thing for so
small a body of men as the
rural boys to handle but if We
can get one half of The rural
patrons to take hold with us [
believe we have solved the
good roads question. N ow
brother carriers you can take
this for what it worth and with
one or two more remarks [ will
close. AsI was to the National
Convention at Omaha last fall
I heard Mr.. Spilman say that
there were only Is out of
10000 carriers found dishonest
and | am proud to stand here
and say that / belong to a class
of men that can show as clean
a record as the rural carriers.
| dare say there is not another
branch of service that can show
as good a record. Now brother
carriers let us each and every
one put our shoulder to the
wheel and push this good work
along. Now ] will close wish
ing you happy New Year and
lots of good roads in the future.
