New York in it's superior attractiveness.

garage scenes in which he repairs the

"Our Awful Aunt"

Judging from the comments heard by
one of the crowd at the Town Hall, Sat-
urday night, the play scored great sue
cess. A clever little comedy with real
human interest, ''Our Awful Aunt
seemed to please and entertain all who
heard it. The characters were all well
taken and the advent of Aunt Matilda
proved blessing in disguise. Armed
with bundle of "yarbs" and trusty
'amberil' she attacks diseases and du-
plicity with equal energy. With the aid
of Pete, good Niger" she foils the
designs of the villain and rescues her
nephew from his evil influence, thus
making everybody happy. The rest of
the entertainment was creditabe and
well received

And What It Really Was.

Graveyard, roughboxes, darkness and
the thoughts thereof evidently put fear
and thoughts of ghosts, ghouls and what
not in the minds of the above autoists,
and perchance little more gas was fed
the engine in order to get away. And
had something said "booh."! gee whiz,
we see them going yet.
AS reported to us the above item caus-
ed unusual stir among the folks about
Fairfield. Some wanted to open grave
to see positively if the dead body had not
been removed, but upon assurances Civ
en- by the keeper of the cemetery that
nothing was disturbed the grave was not
molested. To two young men, Messrs.
Raymond Creeger and Warner T. Grimes
of Thurmont, the whole thing is big
joke. These men were the ghouls the
autoists did not see, but they saw the
auto pass.
The men had arrived at the cemetery
a few minutes before and had unloaded
roughbox for the grave in which Mrs.
Benchoff, Of Cascade, was buried the
next day, and also case for a body
which they later got from the State San
atorium. This had the "black cloth"
cover over it.
After delivering the box the men drove
their car oyer various roads, took in
democratic demonstration, and proceeded
to the Sanatorium. They are liable to
be out any hour of the night in any d.
rection from Thurmont, their business
being to care for and bury the dead, not
rob graves of their dead.

Boycott a Little Late i.

The boycott on turkeys for Thanksg iv-
ing came little late, many turkeys hav-
ing been sold in the city markets at high
igures-40 to as cents per pound. Hun
dreds of birds were left on the market
and at late hour Wednesday these were
offered at Is to 20 cents, buyers being
scarce. 1t is evident that many dealers
will lose considerable money, and that
country dealers will be forced to offer
very low prices for turkeys remaining in
the country for the Christmas m rket.
