ThurmOnt's Little Band.
Ia la Mary and her Little Lamb.)

Thurmont had little band of
Candidates who tried
To stir up agitation, and the
Old Board to deride.
1t meandered to the Town Hall
Upon election day,
But it found twas Freezing weather,
So guessed it wouldn't stay.
So this little band Of candidates,
Did as that king of yore-
Marched up and then marched down again,
And not one is sore.
For if Thurmont likes her Mayor,
And the Old Board also win,
Do not get cross or grumpy
Buy lantern, learn to swim.
But We'll all support our Mayor,
Wake up, Board, and trim your lamps,
And help him to push forward,
For improvement, use your stamps.
Or this little band of candidates
TO whom we bid farewell,
Next year will sure pop up again,
And then there will be-let the band play.

Frederick County People Residing in
Baltimore Organize Association.

Baltimore, Md, April ., 1909
Editor CLARION
The Frederick Countians, now resid-
ing in and near Baltimore, conferred an
honor on dear old Thurmont last night,
which | do not think should go unnoticed
in the columns of The CATOCTlN CLARION.
1t may also strengthen our project by
having the papers published in Frederick
County take this matter up and urge up
on all former citizens of Frederick Coun-
ty to join with US. Briefly, the following
will illustrate what | refer to:
On Friday night, March Goth, a meet
ing was held at the home of Mr.. &. W.
Rine, $40 N. Schroeder St., for the pur-
pose of forming an Association of form
err Frederick Countians. This meeting
was only a preliminary affair, at which
the following temporary officers were
elected: J. w. Rme, the prime mover in
the association, president; Rev. W. S. T.
Metzger, vice-president; A. M. Geisbert,
secretary; Eugene S. Halter treasurer.
1t was decided to form permanent or
ganization at our next meeting, which
was held last evening at Cooks Hall, II
S. Schroeder St. At this meeting we
organized as permanent association and
selected as our name 'The Frederick
County Colony of Baltimore and Vicinity, "
with the following officers elected as per-
manent: C. B. Foreman, of Thurmont,
president; A. R. King, of Urbana, vice
president; A. M. Geisbert, of Creagers-
town, secretary; Edward Moore, of Fred
erick, asst secretary; Eugene S. Halter,
of Frederick, treasurer.
Our object is to organize all former
residents of Frederick County for social
purposes, to become acquainted with each
other, and the organization is very much
on the same principal of other associa-
lions formed among a lot of people living
in any one place, and who originally lived
in some other city, county or state. We
are not an order, are non-sectarian and
non-political. feel very confident we
will have a large membership once it be-
comes known better, and we have every
reason for encouragement, and want your
help and that of the other papers in the
county.
My selection as president came to me
as very great surprise, for did not
know any of those who were present ex-
cept those from Thurmont, and had nc
more idea of being called to any office
| than if | had taken no interest and had
not attended. feel highly elated at the
honor conferred on me, but feel that the
honor was conferred on Thurmont and the
north county more than on me individual
ly. might also add that was chos en- by
acclamation, as were the balance of the
officers. We will hold weekly meetings
on Thursday nights at Cooks Hall, IL S
Schroeder St. for the present, and would
be glad to have you through the column:
of THE CLARION urge all who are in Bal
timore or it's suburbs to join with US any
Thursday night at 8 p. m. Sincerel.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never
go. And Mary sat her quickly down
and tears streamed from her eyes; she
never found the lamb because she did
not advertise. And Mary had a
brother, John, who kept a village
store; he sat down and smoked a pipe
and watched the open door. And as
the people passed along and did not
stop to buy, John still sat and smok-
ed his pipe and blinked his sleepy
eyes. And so the sheriff closed him
out, but still he fingered near, and
Mary came to drop with him a sym
pathetic tear How is it sister,
can you tell, why other merchants
here sell all their goods 50 readily and
thrive from year to year? Remem-
berilg her own bad luck the little
maid replies: These other fellows
get there, John because they adver-
tise."

We Cannot Quite Forget.

The blue, blue morning glory
That twined meath mothers door,
Some old, old childish story
We fondly pondered DER;
A handclasp warm and strong,
A look our eyes have met,
Just a snatch of favorite song
We cannot quite forget.
Some trlhe that once made
Our hearts wOndrous glad,
A bid of friendly aid,
Dear foolish dream we had;
A kindly word Of cheer
That soothed our hayward fret,
And stilled a nameless fear
W. cannot quite forget,
The sting Of backbite keen,
Thrust beyond defend;
The slight, low, cruel, mean,*
From one we thought a friend,
The hurt of trust betrayed.
The yearning wild regret
Ger some fair hope decayed-
We cannot quite forget.
A little timely praise,
That proved the cornerstone
In after darksome days,
When self respect most flown,
And energy's pale star
About to calmly set
Beyond despair's dark bar
We cannot quite forget.
The sorrow that We felt,
The binding, burning tear
When we first turned and knelt
Beside a loved ones bier
The day we could not speak,
But locked with lashes wet,
With Whitened lip and cheek
We cannot quite forget.
Our mothers love and care,
Her love for you and me;
The simple, trUstful prayer
She taught Us at her knee
As some faint breeze abiow,
In memory llnger yet,
Those few words soft and low
We cannot quite forget.
The peace and gentle rest
That came one summer night,
When close unto our breast
We held our frst-born tight,
Our own, cur very own
All mothers owe a debt
For that sweet joy alone
VIZ cannot quite forget.
