Among the appreciated comments
upen the BEAco.:'s rounding out
three-quarters of a century Of en-
deavor in the field of Journalism
We reprint with pardonable pride
the following from the Times
Crescent, of JANUARY Isl:
With its issue of Last week, our
esteemed contemporary, The ST.
Mary's Beacon, entered upon the
76th year Of It's l,fr. That The
Beacon should take occasion to
comment upon reaching this mile
stone in its career, is eminently
appropriate. For three-quarters of
a century il has been landmark OF
which all Southern MarylaDders are
justly proud. IL was born many
years before the Civil War; il passed
through that bloody conflict a
staunch supporter of the Lost Cause,
and it has ever been loyal TO the
Democratic party and Southern
Maryland. Its present editor is A
r. King, a man young enough 30
be with The Beacon when il rounds
out q century, aud son of the late
Francis V. King, who was one of
the best local editors Of the State
To Editor King and The Beacon,
The Times-Crescent sends its con-
gratulatiOns and best wishes for con-
tinued success and usefulness in the
field of Maryland Journalism.

ICoMNGUNICATED. |

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 1, 1916.
To the Editor of the Beacon-Sir:
IL was my pleasure recently to attend
a meeting held at the Catholic Club In
Baltimore for the purpose of forming
an association of the Maryland Alum
nj of Georgetown University. Con-
Sidcring the number of responses from
the Alumni signifying their approval
of such an organization, the meeting
was called To order and permanent
organization effected.
Mr.. George Moore Brady, 1904 Law,
was elected president. Mr. Brady is
well known in the legal fraternity and
his great interest in this movement Is
most gratifying to the members of the
Society, as we feel sure that under his
leadership the Society viii grow to
larger proportions.
Being the only representative from
st. Mary's present at the meeting, 4
nominated on behalf of the Alumni
of Southern Maryland, Mr.. Enoch b.
Abel, of Leonardtown, for vice-presi-
dent, which nomination received the
support of all those present. II is my
desire to bring into the association all
the Georgetown men in St. Mary's.
New York City. Rhode Island, Massa-
chuSetts and the Pacific Coast Societies
of Georgetown University are now
furnishing organizations, and the
Maryland Sons of Georgetown should
work shoulder to shoulder for their
mutual benefit, and for the interest of
the grand old University.
IL Is essential to the complete organ
ization that all the Georgetown men
signify their intention of becoming
members, the fees will be two dollars
per annum, with semi-ahnual smokers
and talks. Complete information may
be had by writing TO the president.
Mr.. G. NJ. Brady, Fidelity Building,
Baltimore.
1t should be with a great deal OF
pride that men of all the departments
look upon Georgetown, which has for
one hundred and twenty-five years
turned out many young men who have
held high positions in the world, and
whose name is sung on all sides
Though her alumni scattered i'm all
pats of the United States. Her Law
School alone carries an enrolment of
ever one thousand students, with as
fine staff of leciarers as the Matt
onal Capital can afford. Her Medical
and Dental School ranks with the first
In the land, and it Is useless to say
that the Departments of Arts and
Sciences are unexcelled BY any univer-
sity of our country. Georgetown calls
to her Maryland sons 10 join in her
applause by forming permanent as
ISOLATION. To the Individual man
this appeal is made, and the response
is expected 10 be Immediate.
Respectfully yours,
HENRY G. MORGAN. I.

Never I hrlsfmas morning,
Never an old yosr ends.
But someone thinks Of some re.
Old days, old times. cid friends


The old year has passed into his
tory. We have parted as from an
old friend and while To many il
brought great JOY, success and pre-
scented opportunities fraught with
advancements and achievements and
to Others deep sorrow, grave mis-
fortune and unutterable loss, all
were reluctant to say its farewell.
But il has gone forward toward the
vast Walt. wherein lie the forms OF
dead dynasties and sheeted centuries
swept away by the remOrseless hand
of time. Gone are all its memories
and in their going were awakened
chords in the hearts of us that
stirred with pain and emotion, when
we thought that the never, never of
forever holds fast within the shad-
ows, its sunshine, its joys, its pains,
and its opportunities. Gone and
we cannot call back one instant OF
il. But we can and should face the
new year, as yet unmarried by any
blemish or mistake or failure, face
a year replete with all promise,
teeming with opportunity for the
betterment OF ourselves and our
county, wherein we may cement
with stronger bonds the friendships
of former years and upbuild and
make better the lot of ourselves and
our neighbors. To patronize our
home Industries whenever the occa-
sion permits, To do all in our power
for the greater good of our county,
to ever keep before us the resolve to
do our work BETTER To speak well
of our favored section and encour-
age those who desire to make their
homes among us, by extending the
hOspitable hand of friendship and
welcome; to do all for the greater
honor and glory of st. Mary's
and above all else begin doing it
NOW, is SPLENDID way to start the
New Year.

The Glenwood post., 1915-06-19

Harking back to the days of Sheely
the bridge builder who few years ago
found Garfield county listed among
the E. z. Marks and took advantage of
our situation, is the suit which was
filed in the district court last Tuesday
wherein the plaintiff, The Board of
County Commissioners Of Garfield
County, Colorado, seeks damages
against the defendants, C. G. Shelley
and The National Surety Company, a
Corporation, for the sum of $24, ,2s7.ss,
said sum being the amount the county
claims to have been damaged by reason
of the faulty construction of bridge
erected by the defendant Sheely across
the Grand river at Lacy, about six
miles west of the town of Rifle, and
which bridge, after it has been con-
structed by Sheely and paid for by the
county commissioners, washed away
and became a total loss to the county,
the claim being set up in the complaint
that the loss was due to the fault OF
The Glenwood post., 1915-06-19

ceffain it is that strong efforts are be-
ing made to induce them to do away
with the present steep Lacy hill.
Ono of our citizens says that since
tn commissioners have been thwarted
in their ambition to give the people n
fiet-eIass road between Glenwood and
New Castle they are not eager to take
ip any other plans than those which
thy know would give the people the
bs4 results and that if the people 10
~ want a first-class road the com
ntDsioners do not feel like spending
P94lie money to give them a make
shift,
Others say there will be no make
sift about it, but that the crest of
tAe hill can be cut off and the grade
1atsrially reduced and a pretty fair
~ SsopssA, either on the present SUI
vey or in that near vicinity and they
claim that if this work is once done
it will become the permanent road as
the commissioners, if they do under
take this work, viii make it SO it will
answer the purpose and thereafter
nothing. will be considered as the road
funds are in much demand in otheI
portions Of the county.
There has been practically no worl
done ON the Lacy hill at county ex
pense for the reasons above stated, anc
now that the county dads have request
ed the county surveyor to make thi:
survey and report to the board hi'
findings there is every indication tha
something will be done and that yer.
soon in the way of improving this road
/ Our citizens are so thoroughly inter
ested in this matter that Mayor Thor
son has appointed committee consist
ing Of William Dougan, John F. McCo'
and C. R. Mccarthy, to take the mat
ter up with the county commissioner
and see what can be done. These gen
tlemen are enthusiastic over the matte
and believe that if they can induce tn
commissioners to take up the work con
lderable assistance viii be given D.

county.

lions on the matter and will giadl
publish any subscriptions that may b
made towards this fund.
