The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-07-10

MIS-. L. Il. Tower and two sons, VINO
had arranged to start overland for
Colorado some weeks ago. but whose
departure was delayed on account of
attacks of the measles with which
both the younger members of the
family suffered, left on Friday morn
ing last. their objective being a city
near Denver. The trip will be made
by automobile and promis= S to be a most
enjoyable one.
Mr.. Harry Brindle, of Hagerstown,
who aspires to the nomination at the
hands of the Republican voters of
the Fourth Judicial District for As
sociate Judge. came to Oakland on
Tuesday afternoon and remained here
day or two going over the political
situation with a number of the resi-
dents of the town and county. Mr..
Brlndle created a favorable impress
sion upon those with whom he met.
Reports being received in Oakland
and at other points in the county in
dictate movement of home soldiers
from overseas whose arrival at their
respective places of abode in Garrett
county is looked forward to with great
pleasure by their parents and other
relatives and friends. One of the
latest arrivals in Oakland was that
of Corporal Stanley Kildow, who was
attached to bakery company after
having received his training with the
Seventy-ninth Division at Camp
Meade as a baker, sailing with his
unit little over a year ago and upon
reaching France was transferred to
another division. Another soldier
who recently reached home shores is
Boyd Moon, son of Orphans Court
Judge Thomas Moon, who is now at
Camp Meade.
The Fourth of July was a most en-
joyable day for many Oaklanders, es
pecially those who desired quiet and
restful period, as nothing of a public
nature in the way of entertainment
had been arranged for, hence the cit
liens of the town were left upon
their own resources and chose their
own method of observing the day.
There were picnics galore in almost
every section of the county and to
these those who were so inclined re-
sorted for entertainment and recrea-
ton. The picnic at Accident was par
ticularly well patronized, not alone
by the people of Oakland, but by
those from nearly every section of
the county. 1t was estimated that
crowd of more than thousand was
present at the grove where the picnic
was held. Other we'll patronized gath
eringe were held at White Church, in
District No. 8, and also at Sand Flat.
Many Oakland people and some that
reside along the State line to the west
of town motored 20 Kingwood or went
by rail, where q three days celebra-
ton was held and which was so we'll
that it was a tax upon the
people to afford entertainment for
so many guests.
Beneath the political Announce
ments," appearing on the eighth page
of The Republican, will be found that
of Mr.. f. R. Jones the present eff
Gent States Attorney, who thus for
mally places himself before the peo-
pie of Garrett county as a candidate
for denomination and reelection. In
the four years which Mr.. Jones has
filled the office which he again as
pires to occupy, he has been a most
faithful and honest public servant,
devoting his time and energies al
most entirely to the onerous duties of
the position, earnestly proceeding
without fear. and at the same time
without malice. all violators of the
law, whether they be prominent or
otherwise in the community in which
they lived. During the war Mr.. Jones
took an active interest in all meas
ures looking to the successful prose-
IL
ergies to the various drives for funds
and was twice chairman of the Lib
erty Loan Committees for Garrett
county. when upon both occasions the
county went "over the top" with good
margins. Mr.. Jones' past record as
an official speaks for itself.
