BOND.

We are glad to note that Mr.. N. U.
Bond is out again after his illness. The
fathers death was keenly felt by the
whole family. and we do not wonder
that they hate to break up the old home
at Brockwayville, Pa.
One of the most pleasing harb.ngers
of approaching spring is the arrival of
the robins and bluebirds We feel sorry
for their cool reception.
1t is rumored that Liz t. stopped
talking long enough last week to take
breath, but we suggest that such re-
ports be taken cum grano sails until
verified
Garrett county and neighborhood is
much int rested in the new wigwam to
be erected in Oakland, bat the Tobasco
sauce of the whole matter is-who is
to be 1.-The bird in the gilded cage"
The revival is over and and Rev.
Brumbaugh and wife did their best to
make it success, and thanks are also
Bro. Sam Reckley, who surprised the
meeting by the wonderful improvement
he has made in two year. He can talk
now in way that would make a No
Heller and and a Seventh Dayer turn
green with envy.
We are also glad to note the change
in Riley, who has given up the use of
the deadly Latin language, finding that
English is quite sufficient for either
forcible or gentle expression.
The other Sam is also doing well and
the anvil chorus is louder than ever
An eleven pound boy is enough to raise
a smile that won't come off, and that is
all wool and yard wide.
There came near being ''hot time in
the old town" early in the week The
mill caught fire, and only the chemical
fire extinguishers saved it. No wonder
the boys got excited and squitted on
one another.
Our twentieth? of ton doctor has
gained three pounds per week, more or
less, since he gave up the wheel for the
motor. and no wonder John says "Oh,
my poor machine, when he gets on, or
that the track is in such poor shape. 1t
is whispered that the genial doctor is
not so liberal with his patients diet as
he is with his own, but maybe his wife's
good cooking is to blame for that.
If some one in town had his head
turned round he would have a chest on
him that would make a recruiting ser
geant's eyes bulge with delight.
Straighten up young man, or you will
soon have the distinction of being the
only hunchback that was ever in Bond.
1t is surprising that some people can
not help getting their feet wet in Saw
age, and in winter time, of all seasons,
but they are too late to help out the
census man, We congratulate the
store man on his reformation.
Boys, don't let the devil tempt you to
gamble on Sunday or any other day, for
it is one of the stepping stones to all
kinds of vices. We have our eye on the
ringleader.
Major SchreCengost is quite enter
prising these days, going on the princi-
pie that if the mountain will not come
to Mahomet, then Mahomet must go to
the mountain. It's an i'll wind, etc,
and what the store losses the BOARDING
people gain.
The dear teacher of the Deestric
Skule will soon be shaking the dust OF
Bondtown from her feet, beg pardIng,
we mean shoes, and it is regrettable
that the Garrett county pOcketbook
will not permit her to continue until
June. We congratulate her on the
order she has kept, which Dame Rumor
says is the best ever in Bond.
