FRIENDSVILLE.

First Of all, ''How do you do" This
is our Introduction, but if the editor
and his staff can put up with our poor
efforts we shall try to send the local
news each week from our little city.
We are just recovering from our eX-
ertions in helping, like the rest Of the
good people here, to give the thousands
that attended our big doings here last

such an organization.
Mrs. Salathiei Savage has been quite
i'll. We trust she may soon recover.
The NJ. K. church has decided to put
down cement sidewalks. The west side

Mrs. Hattie Guard left Sunday for
Clarksburg, via Oakland, where she

very sick.
School commenced this week and we
look forward to a successful term with
the teachers that have been engaged.
We are glad to hear from our neigh
boring town, Accident, that they are
doing so well in raising money for the
new road, and it is now plain to see
that the road is an assured fact. How
much good this will be can hardly be
realized by the citizens in the vicinity
of it.
The little town of Confluence did not
contribute many people to the big gath
ering of the Blue and the Gray, as we
/ hear they had some kind of a little time
themselves on Friday, but that did not
make any difference here, for the town
/ was crowded anyway.

Of SMALL GRAINS
FOR HORTICULTURAL show
Ex-senator Brown Enthusiastic for
Garrett County Showing al
Society Meeting.

Garrett county, through the efforts
put forth and the interest of eX-State
Senator W. McCulloh Brown, has been
successful at past exhibits made at the
Maryland State Horticultural Show of
her fruits and grains, and this year,
when the apple crop is almost a total
failure, it has been determined to centre
all interest in making a creditable show
ing of small grains, such as oats, bar
ley, wheat, rye, buckwheat, etc, and
also corn.
For this purpose Senator Brown has
requested THE REPUBLICAN to announce
that he will be gratified if farmers will
deliver to this office or at any other
point IN Oakland, at least half bushel
of oats weighing 40 pounds or more to
the bushel which will be exhibited at
the State show and later taken to Pitts
burg where a sweepstakes prize has
been offered which is to be awarded in
December. Mr.. Brown also wants
samples of not less than a gallon of
other small grain, such as barley, rye,
buckwheat, wheat, etc, and also corn.
Grain for these exhibits should be
sent in as soon as possible with the
name of the grower, weight per bushel
and the variety plainly indicated on a
card

Hartley's Aeroplane a Success.

Grafton's young aviator tried out his
new machine Wednesday evening by a
short flight to test the mechanism and
it worked beautifully. After he started
the motor the machine skinned along
the ground something less than fifty
feet and then rose on its wings and flew
along above the meadow in which it had
been standing since being taken out for
its trials. Mr.. Hartley only permitted
it to run above the ground a short dis
lance as the wind was very high and he
was somewhat timid about undertaking
flight in a strong wind in which to try
to manipulate the machine the first
time as it was so strong it threatened
to turn the plane over. But the flight
was sufficient to demonstrate that the
machine is go and that it will fly.
Mr.. Hartley tried the machine Satur-
day afternoon on the Isaac Means farm
at Knottsville.

The many friends of Supt. Hice R.
Laughlin will regret to learn that he
has been compelled to ask to be relieved
from his arduous duties for so days in
order to recuperate his health. Mr..
Laughlin has been absent from his Office
for some time of late, during which he
has been resting at his parents home
at Deer Park. But his condition has
not improved as rapidly as he hoped and
he has asked and been granted a leave
of absence for GO days.
He will leave tonight for Baltimore
to have his trouble thoroughly dag
nosed and determined. Until that is
done he has not determined just where
he will go and what steps he will take.
His many friends in Grafton and the
hundreds of railroad men to whom Hice
is famillarly known will wish him an
early and complete return to health

A COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
FAIR NEAR OAKLAND
Parties Interested In Such Enterprise
Invited to Attend Meeting Saturday.

Prominent men from Fairmont, W.
Va, are interested in establishing an
agricultural fair, stock show and race
course in the vicinity of Oakland and
these gentlemen desire to meet all in
terested parties in Garrett county at
the court house Saturday afternoon,
September 18th, at three o'clock for the
purpose of organizing and getting the
matter under way at the earliest posi-
BILE date
1t is proposed that this fair shall be
held during the latter part of Septem-
Der each year in order to prolOng the
season. This will be at time when
the agricultural products of this county
shall have matured sufficiently to eX-
hibit and it is hoped that large num-
Der of Garrett countians will be present
at the meeting on Saturday, for nothing
Obtainable at this time could mean more
to Garrett county by way Of stimulating
interest in scientific farming, stock
raising, etc, than a good county fair.
1t will also mean much to this county
from an advertising point of view. Her
possibilities will be brought to the at
tention of the State and the adjoining
States.
1t is hoped there will be no doubling
Thomases present at the meeting, but
that everybody will come prepared to
boost this proposed enterprise and lend
at least moral, if not material, support
The interested Fairmonters are men
financially able to take care Of the en-
terprise and it is up to the local people
to say whether or not the fair is to be
established.

Stanton Reunion.

The old mill-dam, along the CasseI-
man river, a mile east Of Grantsville,
was the scene Of much merry-making
Monday, when nearly all this genera
ton of STATIONS, including Louis Stan
ton and family, lof this place, were
gathered on its banks. The Little
Crossings Mill" for years associated
with the name Of Stanton, seemed an
eminently fitting place to hold the re-
union and men, women and children en-
ioyed to the utmost the delicious repast
served at noon-day, to which each fam
lily contributed. In the afternoon games
were played and canoeing and boating
were INDUCED in, and when the shadows
Of evening began to gather each family
returned to their home happier because
Of a day spent with their own kin The
only circumstance which saddened an
otherwise perfect day was the absence
of the late Eli Stanton, founder of the
mill, whose death occurred few months
ago. -Frostburg Journal.

How did our Band look in the big
parade? Boys, we are proud of you
and if you keep on you will be one of
the finest some of these days.
The case of Shartzer VS.. Guard was
decided by Judge Boyd on Monday in
favor Of the defendent, c. Y. Guard
who was sued for malicious arrest by
John Shartzer. The Judge ruled that
the acting Mayor did not overstep his
authority, and that the laws must be
obeyed and enforced and that the Coun-
ell had a perfect right to make such
laws for the benefit of the citizens of
the town. Among those attending Court
on Monday We're Messrs. c. V. Guard

Last week was the biggest in Friends
ville's history. From fifteen hundred
to two thousand visitors attended the
celebration. The parade was the best
and the largest ever held here. The
town was tastefully decorated, the tri-
umphiant arch on Maple street being a
beautiful and massive creation of the
artist. The floats in the parade were
of all kinds from pony cart to a re-
production of one of the large stores.
To name them all would be too long and
to name some not fair. The veterans
looked fine. Marching side by side
were the Blue and the Gray and they
received round after round of applause
from the throngs of sight-seers.

MRS, RACHEL BRoADwATER.

MRS, RACHEL BROADWATER.
Saturday, September 3, 1910, at the
family seat in New Germany, died Mrs.
Rachel BroadWater, in the eighty-siXth
year of her age. The subject of this
sketch was born in an ancient home
stead not over two miles from the place
of her death. There at the eastern
base of Meadow Mountain Rachel Ogg
first saw the light December 9, 1924.
Before attaining the age of seventeen
she became a member of the German
Baptist church, and through the long
span of subsequent years walked as IN
waveringly by faith in His steps as
mortal can follow the Divine. After
laying the unalterable foundation of
her religious life, March s, 1912, she
was united in marriage to Mr.. Henry
BroadWater. This proved to be a mar
riage Of cOngCniaI lives until the death
Of MIR. BroadWater March 5, 1898. After
marriage they braved the wilds Of a
mountain forest and by unfagging in
dustry carved from it one Of the best
appointed and most productive farms Of
Garrett. From this union sprang five
sons and six daughters Mrs. Elizabeth
BltJlnger, Mrs. Rcbecca BitUingcr,
una ~4itAi+r VI tililIb4 CUNT 4hllIlllt-
sofa; Mrs. Martha Gregg, Perry,
Mrs. Mary Yommer, Samuel E., Sol
onion, who died at the age of four years,
, and Mrs. Rachel j. Boucher, of Glade,
Pennsylvania. All are married and
residents of Garrett county save the
one dead and the two as above men
toned in other states. Ten or more
years prior to the death Of Mr.. Broad
water, his residence was destroyed by
fire, and from that fire Mrs. Broad
water was subjected to a shock and
strain from which. perhaps, she never
recovered. In recent years she had a
partial stroke ofparalysis, renewal of
which terminated fatally the date as
above given. The interment was made
in the home cemetery by the side of her
husband Sunday afternoon following
her death.
This long career was marked by eX-
traordlnary activity, usefulness and
good deeds. A devoted wife, mother
and friend, given by providence a sound
mind in a healthy body, she dispensed
an influence and swayed control over
her house and children not possible ex-
cept from so admirable character as
was hers. In the family domain she
was manager of rare gifts, training
her children in righteous walks and use
full ways. She was an exception among
mothers in the diplomacy of enforcing
counsel without friction. She watched
the growth and directed the habits of
her children with an intelligent solici-
tude that could not we'll fail to leave a
salutary impress upon each child's char
acter Her hospitality was warm and her
heart responsive to the needs of others.
The first time it was my privilege to
meet her she had just taken charge of
an infant left motherless by death, and
for nearly twenty years she tenderly
cared for that child and saw it reach
womanhood and marriage.
Her life covered long period check
cred by lights and shadows, and she
felt that she had been left to linger
after loved ones of her day and time
had gone. Yet it was graciously grant
ed her to have a sweet and serene
autumn evening for the setting of the
sun to dawn over the kingdom not made
by hands. RELLIM.
