1t is my intention at this writing
to outline. in rs few words as posi-
bic, brief description Of our pretty
little villa situated in the extreme
western part of Maryland, and three
and a-quarter miles distant from
where the silvery Youghiogheny Riv-
er wends its way
Every farmer in this section viii in
very short while fill their grainaries
with an abundancy that surpasses in
measure the harvests of years past.
In fact this season is quite replete in
every sense of the word. Gazing out
over the purpling landscape, tinted
with evenings twilight of opalescent
hue, which in turn will presently blush
the western horizon with crimson ere
it pales into the grayish dusk of the
gathering gloom.
Dear readers, behold the pretty and
attractive village overlooking huge
mountain cliffs adorned by the bright
st.of autumnal tinted foliage and the
choicest of blossoming flowers. Indeed
l am quite sure there is not another
spot in the entire state that can COM
pare in artistic beauty to the gran
deur of this scene of perfect lowell
ness. Others may boast of the splen-
dor of their architecture or grand
display of statuary, but this does not
detract an iota from the lustre of the
portraiture that have just delineated.
Perhaps some of the community
buildings are slightly obsolete, while
the remodeling of others have impair
ed to a degree the correctness of
shape; however, one will find the i'm
projections of such minor Importance
as not to be noticed by the casual OBJ
server. Nevertheless, it is quite OBJ
vious also that we have some very
modern structures along our main
thoroughfare which have recently
been constructed, and here will take
occasion to mention the truly beauti-
full and magnificent school building
that graces our village as no other ed
ifice could, with but one exception, that
of a church, which, by it's absence,
does not necessarily indicate that
the residents are not religiously in
clined-not at all-for every Sabbath
morning you will find the good peo-
pie in the house of God where they
assemble to pay fitting homage to the
Most High and often at great sacri-
flee, for it necessitates a journey OF
ever, this causes not bit of hesitancy
on the part of the people, for through
rain and sunshine, the scorching rays
Of the heat of summer, as well as the
penetrating cold of the winter, they
feel their obligation to attend services
on the Sabbath.
| regret that | must bring this ar.
ticle to a close, as | fear that l have
already imposed upon our good anc
gracious editor, as well as consumed
the space permitted in these columns
but | trust the aforegoing will serve
as preliminary introduction of both
the people and the community.
