Obituary.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
1t is with sadness of mixed character
that we chronicle the death of Mrs.
Elizabeth Wilson, wife of Mr.. John
Wilson, formerly of Homecoming, and
daughter of the late John and Elizabeth
Brimlow, well known residents of Frost
burg and vicinity.
The dreadful malady which caused
her death was typhoid fever and during
her illness of eight weeks her sutferings
were borne with the greatest fortitude
She was conscious and knew those about
her almost to the last.
On Thursday, September 20, 1910, she
took on that last beloved sleep, from
which none ever wake to weep, and with
a beautiful smile which lit even her
fevered brow, she passed into the Great
Beyond at p. III.
She was born in Borden Shaft June
%, 1887 and at the time of her death
was % years, 3 months and days old
Just in the prime of young wOmanhOOd
But God, the All Wise Father, saw fit to
take her to Himself, where no sorrow
ever comes, and pain and death are felt
and feared no more.
She leaves to mourn her loss her hus-
band-John Wilson, of Shaft; three sis
ters-Mrs. William Rae, of Meyersdale,
Pa; Mrs. James Walker, of Midlothian,
and Mrs John Alexander, of Gilmore,
and six brothers William Brimlow, of
Mahanoy City, Pa; Rev. Thomas NJ.
Brlmlow, of Oakstown, Ind; John
Brimlow, of Carlos; Rev. d. Garfield
Brlmlow, of Nicola, w. Va; Charles
Brimlow, of Shaft, and Joseph Brimlow,
of Midlothian.
The funeral services were conducted
from the family residence by Rev. DR..
j. N. Beall, of Frostburg, who spoke
very touchingly of the life of the de-
ceased and encouraged the bereaved by
saying -"she is not dead, but sleepeth.
1.-The Danes of Malta" of which sis
terhood she was a member, followed the
remains to the grave and paid high
tribute to her memory.
The floral offerings were beautiful
tokens of the high esteem in which Mrs.
Wilson was held.
The pail bearers were Messrs. Edward
Philpot, Howard Wade, Robert Muir,
James Muir, Albert Sittig and George
Tenant flower bearers-Robert Richie
and William Walker.
She was laid to rest Sunday afternoon,

Good Roads Meeting.

A number of Frostburgers accepted an
invitation to attend the Garrett-county
meeting at Pope's School House Tuesday
afternoon.
The statement had been made that of
$22S,000 allotted to Garrett county by the
State, $l50,000 had been spent-all in
the vicinity of Oakland OH cOuaty-not
State roads, and upon this the addresses
were generally predicated.
Thomas Layman called the meeting
to order; H. S. Coleman was elected
chairman and Thomas j. Johnson
secretary.
G. Clinton Uhl, of Mt. Savage, Road
Director of this county, first called upon,
very properly disclaiming his presence
as an interference with Garrett county
affairs, gave some instructive hints as to
rebuilding the Pike cheaply.
Otto S. Fike, county commissioner,
was no less entertaining.
Brief but strong addresses by Thomas
J. Johnson, Thomas Layman, DR.. 7.
Griffith, w. E. G.. Hitchins, Frank
Watts, Peter Lammert and others fol
lowed.
The result was the appointment of a
Committee on. Resolutions-Messrs
Thomas Layman. David Pope, B. F.
Michael, James Carey, F. c. Graham,
Ohio S. Fike and Thomas j. johnson.
The following, hastily written, were
then unanimously adopted:
ReSolUed, That the Governor and State
Road Commission be urged to withhold all
further appropriations for improvement of
roads in Garrett county until the necessary
reconstruction of the National Pike be COM
pleted as contemplated, we believe, by the
law, originally and popularity understood as
providing, first, for the improvement of
through highways.

Board OfTrade.

The meeting for Organizing Board
of Trade, held Wednesday evening, was
largely attended.
The Committee on Organization had
held meeting and sent out invitations
to citizens to attend, and the result was
apparent in large gathering.
Elk Mayor Peter Lammert, who had
been chairman of the meeting Wednes-
day, September 2S, called the meeting
to order.
The record of business done at the
former meeting was read by r. F..
CLANCY, secretary.
After some discussion motion was
offered by Messrs. John Chambers and
George Stern, that we form perma-
nent organization, and it prevailed.
Mr.. Lammert was continued as chair
man, and r. F. CLANCY as secretary.
The committee on Constitution and
Bylaws reported that they had drawn
paper which they would present when
called upon.
Messrs. DIN r. Rice and Frank Watts
moved that the secretary be instructed
to enroll as members all present who so
desired. Thirty-two responded, making
the total 90 now enrolled.
Considerable enthusiasm was mani
tested, and II the same spirit Is MAN.
tanned the organization cannot fail in it's
good mission.
Further discussion of the purpose and
scope of the organization called forth
some very effective arguments and elo-
Quent remarks.
The report of the Bylaws Committee
was then asked for, and, as it was read
by articles and sections, and each sec
ton discussed fully, the report was
adopted.
The Constitution and Bylaws are
short but very comprehensive, and put
the organization on permanent and
solid basis.

Pike Too Rough For Him.

burg in small wagon drawn by four
Angora goats. At Uniontown, Pa, he
was taken i'll and, after short prostra-

to New York city, having traversed the
continent behind his goats. This, the

All right, but he miscalcuated his powers
of endurance when he essayed to travel over
the old National Pike between Cumberland
and Uniontown for the second time. That
is said to be the worst piece of road IN the
United States, though once the best. The
goat team and its driver negotiated it all
right going east, but the undertaking proved
too much for the hardy westerner on the

Working for n Minc-Rescue Station.
Congressman Pearre is making an
effort to secure the establishment of
Mine Rescue and Investigation Station
i'll the Georges Greek coal region.
On September 10th, 1910, he wrote to
Hon. J. A. Holmes, the newly elect Di-
rector of the Bureau of Mines, setting
out the wisdom and necessity of estab-
fishing in the Georges Greek region such
a station, which would be available for
the bitumnous coal field of Pennsyl-
vania in the neighborhood of Meyers
dale, and the coal fields of West Nir-
ginia in the neighborhood of Elkins and
Thomas.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
establishment of such stations i'll the
various coal fields and Congressman
Pearre believes that one of them ought
to be located in this neighbOrhOod.
On September Goth he received a reply
from the Director of the Bureau OF
Mines which gives some encouragement,
and is as follows:
