neetlngs are Interesting.

We are glad to note the increased at
tendance at st. Paul's NJ. E. church
during the present week, the second of
a series of meetings being conducted by
Rev. G. r. Williamson, and the general
interest and good feeling manifested
among those who attend from night to
night. The meetings, until Monday
night, We're held in the lecture room of
the church, when it became necessary
to have more room to accommodate the
increased number attending, hence the
meetings are now being held IN the
auditorium. Rev. Williamson is doing
a good worE; his sermons are strong
and helpful and those who fail to attend
the meetings are deprived Of the usual
inspiration and help always to be de-
rived from such services. All will
admit that a general revival OF religion
is greatly needed and the faithful pas
tor should,be encouraged by good at
tendance at each service to which all
are cordially invited.

Jumbo Farm Fencing

Cheapest, strongest, most durable
Fence ever offered
Sold on a base of Sc. per pound. thus
paying for values, not rod price.
Comes as cheap as barbed wire and is
made throughout of No wire.
No stay wires lighter than the line
wires.
A fence is like a chain: no stronger
than its weakest link.
No wraps to get loose to hold moisture
and cause rust.
No projections to-injure stock or tear
wool from sheep. 1a4 80
Stronger at the joints than any other
fence.
Guaranteed to stand the full strength
Of wire at joints and not to separate.
Guaranteed that the wire is not in
jured at the joints.
Guaranteed adjustable to uneven
ground.
Guaranteed to be made of open-hearth
wire of uniform quality.
Guaranteed to be heavier galvanized.
1t is impossible to put as much zinc on a
hight guage wire as on heavy wire.
No wire fence should ever be put on
an American farm that has wire in it
lighter than No 9.
Buy only open-hearth wire-best wire
that can be produced for fencing.
Bessemere steel rusts quicker, is not
uniform; is likely to have hard spots in
it when drawn out into wire.
There is no question but that large
wires in fencing will last longer and at
Sc. a pound is the cheapest fence, be-
cause the cost per pound of fence made
Of large wires does not increase in the
same proportion as the size Of the wire
Use no fence with stay wires made Of

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK,

There is a substantial basis for an OPP
tomistic business forecast at the begin
ming Of 1911. This is to be found in the
fact that the past year was by far the
most prosperous that the American
farmer has ever enjoyed. When the
farmers are prosperous the business of
the country is in healthy condition,
even though the speculative markets
may be experiencing a period of lethar-
gy. Business conditions, taking the
country over, are not to be judged by
the activities of Wall Street. But even
in the security markets the outlook is a
hopeful one. As one expert commenta-
tor puts it, ''the business of the coun-
try has been steadily settling down to a
point from which natural law, backed
by ineXhaustible resources, must again
reYiYe it,
Most authorities on trade speak con-
fidently of the outlook. There is no rea-
son to expect that this year 1911 will be
boom year, but there is abundant rea-
son for expecting that it will be health
fully and normally prosperous. Indus
trial reaction and REIMBURSEMENT are yet
in progress. Outside of New York City,
bank clearings last year showed up act
ual expansion as compared with the
previous year. Trading in stocks fell off
"a per cent in 1910, as compared with
1909, but the output of the steel mills
was greater last year than during any
previous year. The imports were the
largest in history, and the exports much
above the yearly average of the past
ten wears.
There was slowing down In business
activities generally near the close of
last year. but the general tone of bust
ness was healthy. During the first

AIDED IN ELECTION OF
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

Congressman George A. Peawee,
whose term will expire on the 4th of
March next, is trying, we are informed
to dictate to the Postoffice Department
in Washington, who shall and who shall
not be appointed postmasters in the
Sixth Congressional District of Mary
land. There are several postmasters
in the District whose terms will expire
before the close of the present session
of Congress, among them William
Pearre, postmaster at Cumberland, and
Mr.. A. H. Harrington, postmaster, at
Frederick.
1t is a little too soon after the election
for the people of this District to forget
the action of Mr.. George A. Pearre in
the last Congressional campaign. He
has been in Congress y years, drawing
pretty good sized salary and to whom
is he indebted for comfortable berth
at the National Capitol for these twelve
years? To the Republicans of the
Sixth Congressional District and to
them alone. Last summer, when he
realized that he would likely be defeat
ed either in the primary contest for the
nomination or at the general election,
he withdrew from the contest for the
nomination. What did he do when Mr.
Warner received the nomination of the
Republican party for Congress in the
Sixth District? 1t is too we'll known in
this District for repetition, but for his
benefit we will say that ne aided and
abetted in the election OF. MIR. David J.
Lewis, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in every way he could.
Notwithstanding he is holding a pol
itical Office paying 81, 500 year, he did
not contribute single penny to the Re
publican campaign in Frederick county
last fall to be used in defraying the le-
Ultimate expenses of the campaign,
when it is a well known fact that the
loval support given him in Frederick
county two years ago was all that saw
ed him from defeat. And, so far as we
can learn he contributed nothing to the
Republican campaign fund in any of
the other counties of the District Nor
did he take the stump" or offer his
assistance in that respect or in any
other way in the interest of the regular
Republican candidate for Congress.
Worse than all he worked against his
partys candidate, thereby aiding in the
election Of Democratic Congress,
which has practically tied the hands,
so far as legislation is concerned, of our
worthy President, Hon. VIM. H. Taft.
In view of the above facts, is such a
man as George A. Pearre to be reckoned
within the matter,of choosing Republican
postmasters in the Sixth District? We
cannot conceive how he could be and,
as loyal Republicans, trust he will not
have any voice in the appointments to
be made.-The Frederick Examiner.

A Mystery.

Last Friday a mass of blood ana what
was said to resemble quantity of
brain matter was found a few rods
west Of the county bridge spanning the
Big Yough west of Oakland by Isaac
Tusing, who brought the report to Oak
land and shortly afterwards an investi-
cation was set on foot by the States
authorities, who discovered also that
some heavy body had been dragged
from the point where the blood was dis
covered to the centre Of the bridge and
supposedly thrown into the river as
there the marks ceased. The brain
matter was shipped to Baltimore for
examination. No report has been made
Of anyone missing in the community and
there seems to be a we'll settled belief
that some animal had been killed and
its body dragged to the centre of the
bridge and thrown into the river.

HUNTER ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Mr.. Thomas Warner, of FinZeI Fatal,
~ Shot Last Wednesday.

Another fatality has been added to
the long list of accidental deaths caused
by the careless handling Of fire arms.
Mr.. Thomas Warner, a young man
living at Finzel, near Frostburg, was
instantly killed Wednesday afternoon
about o'clock by the accidental dis
charge Of shotgun, while hunting for
rabbits.
Mr.. Warner and a companion by the
name of Grove had tracked a rabbit to
hole and while irving to dislodge the
game from his hiding place Warner
placed his gun against a nearby log.
When the rabbit was forced out of the
hole Warner made a quick effort to get
his gun, which was standing in an up
right position, and in so doing knocked
the cooked trigger against something
with enough force to cause the dis
charge Of the gun.
The entire force of the discharge
struck the neck of the unfortunate man
on the right side under the ear and al
most severed the head from the body.
The dead man was the son of Mr..
Thomas Warner, of Finzel, and was p
years of age. He is survived by his
father and mother, a wife and two
children. The funeral occurred Satur-
day at pm. Interment at the Poca-
hontas cemetery.
