Obituary.

The following paper, written and read

Baltimore services by w. E. G.. Hitch
ms:
The Official Board of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church of Frostburg, Md, plunged
in sadness and sorrow by reason of the sud
den illness and unexpected death of our be
loved Pastor, Rev. George f, Maydwell, d..
d.. herewith give expression to the follow
ing tribute to his memory
But one short years acquaintance has
made for him a place in the deep affections
of our hearts, and we gladly testify to his
daily and constant practice of the principles
contained in the sweet, pure gospel that he
always preached.
Those of us who have passed through
sickness or bereavement will always cherish
the tender sympathy of his presence, his
words of consolation, as also his fervent, eff
fectual prayers to the throne of Grace in
their behalf.
TO his widow, the son and the daughters,
we tender our sympathy and coincidence,
and express our estimate of his Christian
character III general by quoting from the
Master;
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and
saith of hm-Behold, an ISraeite indeed in
whom is no guile"
TO our honored, faithful Pastor. we say
Farewell until we shall meet again in the
Sweet Bye and Bye.
How blcst the righteous when he dies,
When sinks weary sOuI to rest,
How mildly beams the closing eyes
How gently hcaNcs the expiring breast.
Iifc's labor done as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say
How blest the righteous when he dies

Prices property has been broken, and
the work of dismantling the old, also
preparatory, will soon begin. All this
has been occasioned by the sale of lot,
including occupied portions, to the Gov
eminent for the new post office building.
Congress has appropriated 10 million
dollars for public buildings. OF this
great sum Frostburg's portion Is of
per cent.-a fraction so small that 1t
seems 1t should be early forthcoming, so
that work on that editice can begin and
proceed
