EVANSVILLE BECOMING
A SUMMER RESORT
Many AiIegany County People Will
Spend Months There.

Grantsyille, the metropolis of the
eastern section of Garrett county, lying
IA miles west of Frostburg, is not only
wldeawake rural town but is, every
summer, becoming the mecca" for
thrOngs of summer visitors who find
rest and delight in the mountain ozone
and pure air to be found in the favored
spots of the Allegheny Mountains.
The coming summer will find Grants
vile more popular than ever Having
the Castleman river almost within a
stones's throw aquatic sports are being
developed. Along the banks of the
Castleman river 400 Yards from the
Castleman bridge on the National Pike
a commodious cottage has been erected
by W. E. G. Hitchins and |. l.. Ritter
at cost of 1000. 1t is of original
rustic architecture, containing 3 bed
rooms, kitchen and a large dining
hall, the latter having polished maple
floor and huge old time fire place.
h. G. Evans, an enterprising Frost
burger, is now having plans drafted for
a bungalow rivaling in size and beauty
the one just completed. 1t will occupy
a pretty spot near the Castleman bridge
but INVISIBLE from the pike.
The rustic cottage built by Messrs.
Hitchins and Ritter has been christen-
ed Castleman Cabin. 1t is, however,
far from cabin. With its stately
colonial en- '1eY and its wide verandas
it has the appearance of a pretentious
roadside inn.
MIR. Evans, it is said, will name his
cottage The Lonesome Pine Cottage. 4"
1t is expected that several new cot
tages of very substantial nature will
be erected on the opposite bank of the
river this summer by local people.
There are already a large number of
boat houses and private bathing houses
which are used by summer visitors at
Grantsvllle.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1915-01-28

The Castleman river at the point
where these new cottages are being
erected is wide and placid, varying in
depth from to feet, making canoe
ing and bathing safe for children as well
as grown folks.
Being but 25 miles from Cumberland
and SO miles from Uniontown on the
National Pike, Grantsville, with It's fine
new hotels and it's suburban summer
resort seems to be on a sure road to
popularity with people searching for
health and rest in the hot months of
the summer.
"Castleman Cabin" will be formally
opened at an early dateIwhen its owners
will entertain number of their friends
with big luncheon and dance:
Music for the occasion will be from a
large Victrola and refreshments will be
made at the cabin and served IN old
time portions without formality.
This opening of Garrett county's new
est summer resort promises to be a big
affair and it is said that the guests will
include persons from every town in
Garrett and Allegany counties.

In Memory Of HRS. N. r. Sanper.

The death Of Mrs. N. r. Sanner,
which occurred at her home last Mon
day at Has p. M, after an illness of
less than twenty-four hours, was a
great shock to her many friends, and it
cast a gloom over the entire community.
Mrs. Sanner was the daughter of
former Senator and Mrs. R. T. Brown
ing, and was born at the old Browning
homestead at Sang Run on the 31st day
of March, 1882, in the house in which
her great grandfather Meshack Brown
ing lived and died. She was married to
Mr.. N. r. Sanner June 26, 1900, by
Rev. Father Connell. She is survived
by her father and mother and the
following brothers and sisters: Mrs. P.
]. Garrett, of Deer Park; Elizabeth A.
SISTER Maria Teresa. of Philadelphia;
Miss Ellen Jane, Superintendent of the
St. Clair Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio;
Richard S., of Spokane, Washington;
Miss Margaret, at home with her
parents; and VIM. r. Getty, in the
employ of the State Roads Commission,
in Baltimore. She is also survived by
her husband and two sons, George
Lamar and Richard Thomas, aged
thirteen and eleven years, respectively,
just the age at which they most need the
care of loving mother. All of the
above named relatives were present at
the funeral, which took place from ST.
Peters Catholic church last Thursday
morning at nine o'clock, except Richard
S., who could not reach here in time.
Mrs. Sanner was a faithful, consls-
tent Christian, and it may truly be said
of her that every trait that adorns the
female character shone brightly in her.
She was dutiful child, a most ex-
emplary mother, faithful and devoted
wife, and true friend. Although the
summons came so suddenly and uneX-
pectedly, vet am sure she was well
prepared for the great change, being
sustained by the last rites of the
Catholic Church of which she had been
a faithful member all her life. The
sympathy of the entire community goes
out to the bereaved ones who have re-
ceived such shocking blow. All we
can now say is Gods will be done, )"
and when we are called to follow after
her may our good Lord grant US the
grace of happy death, that we may
all be reunited with her in that other
and better world. May she rest in
peace.

One Billion Dollars Lost and Nothing
Accomplished.

To the Editor OF The Republican,:
l think the enclosed might be of in
terest to the readers of your paper.
R. E. S.
During the five months just passed,
it is probable that every man from the
greatest captain of industry to the
humblest worker has devoted some
minutes each day during ordinary bust.
ness or working hours to a discussion
of the war and its consequences. TAX
ing the average value of the time of
these men and the average time so
wasted by them which might have been
devoted to their respective occupations,
the loss to the world through such dis
cussions, which probably accomplish
nothing, has been in excess of one
billion dollars. If during the year
ahead of US, we devote those few min
utes each day to energetic effort, the
benefit to our country from a strictly
financial standpoint will be fully that
sum.

NO BOOZE BY FREIGHT.
The ONLY Means Left to Get 1t Into
West Virginia IS By ghe Ar Line.

Yesterday, as was predicted in these
columns last week, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company issued orders to
its agents and employees all over the
system not to accept for transportation
into the State of West Virginia any
thing of an alcoholic nature except
packages consigned to regularly certi-
fled druggists or for the use of minis
tiers for sacramento purposes.
This order of the B. & o. Company
seals West Virginia against non-resi-
dents shipping intoxicants into it and
there remains but two ways to trans
port it into the State-take it in your
self or establish an air line.
