Will Not Change Name.

At meeting of the citizen of Thurmont
held in Town Hall last Friday evening,
the matter of changing the name of Me-
chanicstown District to Thurmont dis
trict was discussed. On account of the
short and busy period the Legislature
will be in session, the many points in law
to be considered, and many citizens of
this place objecting to changing the name,
the matter was dropped.
The subject of auxiliary power at the
Electric Light plant was discussed and
it was decided to ask the Legislature to
pass bill giving the commissioners pow
er to issue bonds to the extent of $4,000
for this purpose.

AnnaDOliS Letter.

Delegate Hargett is fast coming into
the lime-light as one of the intimate
friends of Mr.. John j. Mahon and George
N. Lewis. The genial and amiable dele
gate from Frederick, although Repub-
lcan and representative of his party on
the Committee on Ways and Means, is
in frequent conference with the two we'll
known Democratic leaders of Baltimore
City, and much curiosity is manifested
as to the object of these meetings.
Delegate Wertenbaker is looked upon
as one of the most reliable men in the
House. He is always on hand, and his
popularity in the State House is second
to that of no man from Western Maryland.
Senator Matthias is by all odds the most
popular Republican in the upper House.
The Democratic leaders know from eX-
perience that his word is his bond, and
that what he says he will do. He is really
"Senator from Frederick County," and
he has very recently given strong evil
dence of that fact, and further, that no
lIlHuSICc lIOill WHSu SOlioiuCi ui-
fair or against the public interest. will
have any weight with him in the per-
formance of his duty. He is looking out
for the interest of Frederick County, re-
gardless of partisan politics, and he in
tends to continue in that course to the
end of his term, which will last through
the present administration, when he will
retire from politics.
Mr.. Matthias introduced bill to re-
quire the County Commissioners to pub
lish annually an itemized statement of
the county disbursements, especially as
to the contingent fund There has been
much criticism as to the valueness of
these statements, and general desire
has been expressed to have the law re-
quire more definiteness of detail. This
defect will be remedied by the present
bill, which will require, should it become
law, the minutest item to be specified
in the fullest particular The Senator
also has in preparation a bill to provide
for the appointment of Liquor License
Commissioner for Frederick County, who
shall have power to issue all liquor licen-
ses. which are now granted by the Cir
cult Court. t.-Citizen.

Owen School Closes.

School closed at the Owen
school Saturday. April 18th with
a picnic dinner. A large crowd
was in attendance and a most de-
licious dinner was served by the
ladies of the neighborhood, to
which all, especially the bachel-
ors present did justice.
An interesting program wcs
rendered in the afternoon, in
cluding a very exciting cipherirg
match between the pupils of the
school. Paul Mitchell was de-
clared champion. Each visitor
was presented with a hand paint
ed souvenir made in water colors
by the pupils of the school. The
school begun by E. B. Mason last
September was closed by Miss
Abernathy, both of whom de-
serve much praise. At the close
of the program those present de-
cided to organize a Sunday school
to meet at the Owen school house

Land Buyers Here.

j. P. Peterson, general SUPER
intendent Of the Cheyenne Coun-
ty Development Co., made fly
ing trip to Kansas City, Monday
where he was met by P. J. Lyons
president of the Gas Traction En-
gine Co., of Minneapolis, who
accompanied Mr.. Peterson to
Cheyenne w ellis on Tuesday
night. These gentlemen brought
with them five land buyers from
Ohio and they were out with
them yesterday selling tn m
some of their fine farming lands.
Men like Peterson, Lyons and
w. s. Moore know where to go
to find the people that are able
to buy land, and a trip over their
holdings nearly always results in
a sale that proves satisfactory to
both buyer and seller. If you
want to sell your land and be
safe from the hazard of con-
fidence game, these are the gen.
tlemen to buy from or list your
land for sale.

School Notes.

Only four more weeks of real
school work. The year has gone
rapidly and held up its average
attendance remarkably well.
The work on the high school
annual has been practically COM
pleted. The photographs were
good and the book promises to be
better than was first anticipated.
The Senior class program will
be given this evening. This is
one of the regular literary socie-
ty programs, but because of the
nature of the entertainment to
be given, Friday evening was
chosen instead of Monday after
noon.
