land Medical College, returned to school

near Oakland with his parents He was

Verify, the old order passeth. In
West Virginia a man is arrested and
held under $500 bond for crying amen"
too strenuously during a revival meet
ing. By this standard of evangelical
decorum the shouting and jumping"
that went with the pioneer camp-meet-
ing would doubtless constitute CAPT.
tai offense.
DR.. Henry w. McComas accompanied
Mrs. G. A. Fraley to Baltimore last
Sunday night where the latter will re-
ceive treatment from a specialist on
nerve diseases. Mrs. Fraley has been
somewhat of an invalid for the past
six months or more, and her friends
trust that she may return to her fam
/ lily completely restored to health

| publican, which has been in operation
for little over two years past, was
closed down Tuesday by Constable S.
A. Shroyer, who levied on the ma
chinery and presses for unpaid accounts

The snow which fell last week and the
week before to a depth variouslv esti-
mated at twenty to twenty-four inches,
Is all disappeared A thaw set in on
5aturday afternoon which continued
Sunday and Monday with the result
that the waters rose to an alarming de-
gree. flooding the lowlands and for a
time threatened to overflow portions of
the town. The ice on the Little Yough
ran out Monday afternoon doing little
or no damage. At Crelin the small
bridge spanning Snowy Creek was car
ried away.

Mr.. Joseph Rembold, of Horseshoe
Run, Preston county, was in the city
yesterday on business and when asked

become resident of Garrett county.
When he does all who are acquainted
with him will extend a hearty welcome
for he is an excellent, wide awake, pro-
/ gressive citizen.
Monday the juveniles got back to the
school grind with all too brief Christ
mas holiday. The routine of school
work will now go on with the jotting of
the days as they pass by the little folks.
An early Easter gives promise of few
days more of abandonm MT of books,
and before that comes Washington
Birthday as an OASIS in the desert of
learning. The little folks are fine at
keeping tab on holidays and one of their
chief practices in calculation is that of
counting the days of toll between the
