Some Game.

Last Saturday afternoon a portion of
a game of ball was played on the local
diamond. a club composed of players of
the Blue Ridge League and various other
clubs of Frederick city facing the home
team.
Root for the home team was somewhat
wild and in the first session the Frederick
lads made two runs. Thurmont made
one run.
In the second inning Root steadied up
and the visitors failed to score. The Wis
iting pitcher went to pieces at this time
and with the local lads it was a case of
hit and run, Is men getting to bat and 9
of them reaching home.
In the third, ten of the Frederick boys
got bat, but made only four runs. The
home team made one run in this inning,
a new pitcher being used
In the fourth the Frederick boys went
out in order, and the locals made two
runs.
At this stage the game came to a close
for some reason, the visitors claiming
they had to 60 home.
The score, Thurmont l3, Frederick 8.

May Connect Trolley Lines
G.. G. 4 w. And II. & F. Roads
May Be Joined At Emmitsburg
[ From Frederick News.


From Waynesboro comes the report
that the Chambersburg, Greencastle and
Waynesbory trolley company has had in
view the probable extension in the future
of their lines so as to connect with Fred
erick, thereby forming complete trolley
circuit through Hagerstown, Waynesboro
Blue Ridge Summit and Frederick. The
consideration by the C. G. & W. of such
development naturally gives added ia
vor to the project for the construction by
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway Co.
of line from Thurmont to Emmitsburg,
which has formally been asked by a del
egation of prominent citizens of the lat
ter town.
at was learned today Monday that
executive officials of the H. & F. have
talked over and considered the matter of
the Emmitsburg extension at different
times, but since the conference on Thurs
day formally brought up the question the
matter will now be given serious consid-
GRAFTON. Much may be said in favor OF
the proposed extension, and the discus
sion in Waynesboro of the C. G. and W.
extension, and to Emmitsburg in case
the H. & F. builds from Thurmont over,
throws even brighter light upon the pro-
ject.
Ever since the c. G. and w. extend
ed its lines to Blue Ridge Summit the
matter of reaching Frederick has been
discussed. One proposal was to cut thro
Bulltail Valley and connect with the H.
& F. system at Wolfsville or Myersville.
Another plan discussed was to cut down
through Harbaugh Valley through the
mountain gorge to Thurmont. a route
that has no topographic difficulties, but
many of another kind.
''In view of the consideration of the
Emmitsburg link, the scheme by which
the connection may now be worked out
and the circuit made complete is by the
extension of the C. G. & w. from the
Summit terminal to Emmitsburg, dis
lance Of about eight miles. A Waynes-
boro paper states:
"'Should the proposed line be built to
Emmitsburg the extension of the G. G.
& w. to that point would not even be
debatable. 1t would be self-evident
proposition and be inescapable. With
connection at Emmitsburg and the pres
ent one at Shady Grove the grand cir
cult would be complete and the three
counties Franklin, Washington and
Frederick linked together in pow
erful traffic-producing bond. ;"

Planning For Re. Dedication
Work On Thurmont United
Brethren Church Nearly Done.

Brethren Church Nearly Done.
The pastor, Rev. Paul A. Holdcraft.
and members of the Thurmont United
Brethren church, are now planning for
the services to be held when the church
is re-dedicated, the repairs began some
months ago being about completed.
At this time it is the purpose OF the
pastor to begin services in the new edi-
flee on Sunday, October 18th. During
the following week services will be held
each evening, this to be known as week
Of prayer.
On Sunday, October Oath, the dedica-
tory services will be held, the Presiding
Elder. Rev. Washinger, of Chambers
burg, Pa, preaching the sermon. Three
services will be held on this day. At l.3O
p. m. there will be Sunday School and a
general inspirational service in charge OF
Rev. Hummelbaugh of Frederick city.
The sermon in the evening will be by
the Rev. Washinger.
During the following week services will
be held each evening, and as now plan
ned, pastors who have been assigned to
this circuit in former years will preach.
At the conclusion of this series of SER
vices, the pastor, Rev. Holdcraft, will
begin revival services.
The front of the church now makes a
very imposing appearance. The stone
used in the construction are of blue
cast color, and came from the mountain
west of town. Pretty memorial windows
will be used in this portion of the build
ing.
On the interior of the building new side
walls have been put in, studding having
been placed against the old wall and
lathed and plastered. New floors, pews,
carpet, and pulpit furniture has been
purchased, a choir loft erected and other
improvements made.

Whom Will You Choose?

On September I 4th every voter will
be given a chance to make his choice
of the person or persons that he feels
should be a candidate for Office this
coming fall, whether the same be
Governor of the State or member of
his local Precinct Central Committee.
Whom will you choose? That is
the question that will be put up to
YOU and as most all of the candidates
for Office have made their claims
known either in person or by adver-
tisement, they have placed the mat
ter in the voters hands.
As a voter, what have you done to-
wards deciding on the merits OF the
several claims that have been pre-
sented? Have you investigated the
men whom you have heard OF but
know little, if anything, about their
fitness for the position that they may
be seeking? Will blind like or dis
like govern your choice?
This is supposed to be the peoples
choice but from the great activity
of the small fry" politicians, there
will be an attempt to line you up"
for this or that candidate or set OF
candidates. In other words the old
Convention style would say that it
was whipping" them into line.
That the Boss used to do and the
imitators are busy now trying to fix
things before the day of primary SO
that the word as passed down the
line will govern.
If you are among those who do
this kind of thoughtless voting you
are recreant to the trust placed in
your hands when you have been given
the right of franchise. 1t is up to
you to do some thinking and to dis
criminate in favor of those who are
best fitted and who will give the bet
ter account of their stewardship.
The public as rule fail to discrim-
mate and it does not make much diff
ference how we'll an Office may be adj
ministcred, the cry goes up put him
out-give another man chance-he
has had enough-are you going to
give it all to one man, ETC., etc. Ii
a public officer was your clerk or
hired man land they are but our SER
vants) and he would fill his duties
entirely to your satisfaction in every
way and would make money for you,
would you throw him out, just be-
cause some man came along and
wanted the job and would tell you
that he had worked long enough?
Not much.
There are men seeking return to
office and plead their past record as
justification for asking your sup
port again. The man who has saved
the County many thousands of dollars
is entitled to your serious considera-
ton, if you are interested in having
your local government run at the least
expense to you. If you are a blind
partisan, then this would not appeal
to you.
Think this over Voters and fix your
ballot that you will select the very
best for YOUR interest, and not to
the interest of any selfish set of men
who are interested in nothing else but
building up machine for their own
benefit.
