chicken for the stomach's sake, but there

We were sorry to hear that some Of
our citizens had got mixed up with the
Klowa bootleggers, but the best of men
get caught in bad company sometimes.
We would advise our people to give the
klowa bootleggers wide berth, that is
the safe way. We are almost willing to
testify that Frank Baker is not guilty, bu,
that man Stephenson who was credited
to Hazelton, is Kiowa production and
has nothing about him that looks like
Hazelton citizen. Our people tot in
different class to the one he was in. Tust
to be fair with Kiowa we are going to

ago, and he and his family continued to
reside in this locality since their first ar
rival here. He was man who attend
ed to his own business, and seldom ever
got mixed up with the troubles Of others.
hence he had few enemies and large
number Of friends. The sympathy Of
the community is extended to the be-.

Sunday evening 0. w. Young swore

saw them coming and made break and
then a few shots were exchanged by the
parties, but so far as we are able to re-
port no one was hurt, at least the officers
came in without scratch and also with
out the accused; hence if he was hit we
have no way Of knowing the fact at this

headed toward Oklahoma with the off,

ANNUAL LEVY FOR COUNTY
PURPOSES BEING MADE
Board Of County Commissioners Will
Probably Complete Work Tomorrow.

Tuesday msrning the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners met for the purpose
of making the annual levy for the coun-
ty Expenditures for the present year, all
members Of the Board being present
and the probabilities are that the work
of the Board insofar as the levy-laying
work is concerned, will be completed to-
morrow, when the Board will adjourn.
From present indications the rate for
county purposes will be the same as
last year, but the Commissioners hope
that they will be enabled to lower the
figure trihe. No extraordinary ex-
penses are to be met, so far as can be
learned, and with the advance in the
taxable basis of nearly $S3, 900 over that
Of last year the Commissioners feel in
clined to think that a slight reduction
in the raX rate will be possible.

cured. Mr.. Cheuvront expressed him
self as highly gratifed with the interest
taken by the Oakland people and all but
guaranteed that gas would be brought
here during the coming summer.
As another evidence OF the interest
being taken by the people of the town
and by the gas company's representa-
tives a called meeting of the Board of
Trade will be held in the Council cham
Der this evening when the representa-
tives of the gas company will be present
and go into the details of the PROPOSE
ton more fully.
This morning Messrs. Northrup and
Cheuvront came to Oakland and from
here drove out to Allegany Heights at
which point they will meet the engineers
of the company who are engaged in lay
ing out a new line for the gas pipes
from German to Oakland, hence the
prospects for natural gas for Oakland
are growing brighter each day.

TITLE DOUBT CONCERNING
NATURAL GAS FOR,OAKLAND
Local People Have Responded to De-
sires Of the Gas Company

Last Thursday morning this paper
contained an article written in response
to a desire on the part of the West Vir-
ginia and Maryland Gas Company to
get an expression from the people of
Oakland and vicinity upon the feasibility
of introducing into the town natural
gas to be supplied from the mains of
the company which are lain along the
banks of the Potomac river from near
its source to Cumberland and through
the Georges Greek region, the plans of
the gas company being held in allowance
until II was made evident that a sufIic-
tent number of consumers could be Sc
cured IN warranting the company to tap
It's main at German and lead the gas to
Oakland through a six inch pipe, taking
1t from here west to Terra Alta and
eastward to Mountain Lake Park, Loeb
Lynn Heights and Deer Park
The gas company, through its repre-
sentatives, Mr.. j. D. Northrup, of
Cumberland, and Mr.. j. B. Cheuvront,
of Homecoming, stated that in the event
users of gas to the number of six hun
dred in the towns above mentioned could
be induced to sign the regular printed
form of agreement furnished by the
company then the work of laying the
pipes from the main on the Potomac
would begin
The matter was taken in hand by the
Board of Trade and at meeting held on
Wednesday night solicitors were APP
pointed and on Thursday the work of
making canvass of the town was be-
gun. While some property owners re-
fused to sign the agreement the great
majority were only too anxious and the
result was that large number of signed
agreements were sent in to the gas COM
pany' S representatives on Friday which
mum has been added to daily ever
since.
On Tuesday Mr. Cheuvront again Wis
j. Oakland in the interest of the prop
II anu III wi tl SdLlbl Will IBE
u .EfUBLICAN stated that in the entire
istrict to be covered by the gas lines
30 agreements had been signed which
lacked $50 of the required number. In
going over the figures it was made evil
dent that the Oakland people in a large
number of cases had signed agreements
contemplating the use of gas in from
one to three or four different buildings,
whereas the intention Of the company
was that each individual building or
consumer should sign the agreements.
This being the case word was telephoned
to number of the leading spirits in
the gas movement to whom Mr.. Cheuv-
ront explained the situation in detail,
and in going over the contracts already
signed it was made evident that an adj

are often very profitable, nor are they
needful or even appropriate For where
a life has been lived for so many years
IN community as has that of our dear
sister, if that life has been such as to
merit commentator, that fact is well
known without word from the offici-
atIng minister; and where such is not
the case no word that may be said can
change in reality that life, nor even the
estimate of that life in the minds of the
people. So it is not my purpose to
make an extended or extravagant effort
in that direction; but what may say
shall feel is but a poor and imperfect
expression of the universal esteem and
appreciation in which our deceased
sister was held by this entire communi-
ty, and especially by this church of
which she has been for so many years
/ member,
1 Fifty one years ago she became a
member Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and continued in its fellowship
until last Thursday morning, when she
was transferred to the fellowship of
the Church Triumphant. 1t would be
needless for me to say that Sister Davis
had been an active member of the
Church, for all who knew anything Of
( the history and progress Of Methodism
II Oakland know that she forms a very
potent part in that history. Her hus-
band has been in official relation with
the church through all these years.
| having filled perhaps almost every office
open to the Iaity Of the Church: and in
his church work as in every other work of
his life she shared with him in its trials
and triumphs | am told that for more
than 30 years her hands prepared the
elements for the Holy Communion;
when the church was to be renovated
Sister Davis and Sister Townshend, who
preceded her by few months to the
heavenly home, always took the leading
part.
But her activities We're not confined
to this line of work for her church, but
in all of its activities she took leading
part. She was to be found at the bed
side Of the sick, she was ready to re
. lieve the wants of the distressed, she
found the home Of the stranger who
moved into the community. and extend
ed the glad hand Of welcome to them.
Her home was always open to the ser
want of God and when the new preach
er' with his family came they were al
ways made comfortable in her home
until the parsonage was ready to re-
ceive them so long as she was able to
attend to the duties Of the home. In
short, as the Master said of the woman
who ministered to Him at Bethany,
She done what she could.
The deceased has suffered much dur
ing her life, but under it all she was
upheld by strong faith in God, and be-
lieved truely that All things work to-
gether for good to them that loye God.
The cloud that had gathered about her
during the last three years, obscured
much in which she had often found de-
light; but it never became so heavy as
to blot out of her mind the reverence
which she has always had for the church

and soon you shall go to make it com
plete. Be faithful. To the children and
relatives Of the deceased no more fitting
counsel could be given than to serve
God as she served him, and your reward
will be everlasting life.
To dear Brother Davis, | can but
say be faithful to the God who through
all the trials through which you have
been called to pass, has sustained and
upheld you, and it will not be long until
you shall go to join your companion and
other loved ones on the other shore.
