LAST NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.

Notice is hereby given to all who
are in arrears for taxes that unless
the same are paid at once l shall pro-
coed to collect according to law.
My term of office will expire with
the laying of the new levy, upon
which the Board of County Commits
sioners will begin on Monday of the
coming week. | desire to close up
my affairs with the Commissioners as
soon thereafter as possible. To do so
1t is incumbent upon me to collect
every unpaid tax bill. l regret that
the people have not been as respon-
sive to my appeals for funds as they
should have been, hence l have been
compelled to advertise the sale of a
large number of properties, thus in
creasing the costs which otherwise
would have been saved the delinquents
had they come forward and paid.
This is positively the final notice to
delinquents. The taxes must be paid
at once or | shall be compelled to ad-
vertise the properties upon which the
taxes are in arrear.

Presentation of Light" An Educa-
tiOnal Pageant.

The boys and girls of the Garrett
County High School and the Oakland
Grammar School, as well as older peo-
pie in the community, are working
quite hard to make the pageant, "The
Light" success from every stand
point. The costumes are very beauti-
full. A Grecian dance, directed by
Mrs. Ellwood Offutt, and Roman
military drill, directed by Mr.. C. R.
Bissell, will be beautiful indeed. The
dame school, taught by Miss Margaret
Urich; the modern school, by Miss Ce-
celia Hart; the over-crowded school
with its unframed teacher, typical of
conditions everywhere today, taught
by Mrs. Paul Naylor, and education in
the days of feudalism, will each help
make very interesting program. Mr..
Frederick Peddicord, as Any County;
Miss Edwana Peddicord,as Education;
Mr.. ]. A. fowler, as Hiawatha; Mr..
Ralph Thayer, as Visitor to the mod
ern school, are other characters. The
above does not complete the list, there
being total of about one hundred and
| fifty characters.
Owing to an error, some of the tick
cts nave mistakes in the days on
which the pageant is to be presented.
The days are Friday and Saturday;
the dates are April 16 and IT; the
place, the Maryland Theatre, Oakland.
Tickets may be reserved at Gonder's
Pharmacy, or tickets may be gotten
directly there.
This is not money-making scheme.
The prices asked are only sufficient to
cover what is believed will be neces-
sary expenses. Don's fail to be pres
ent. There is message for each and
everyone.

 Finally these young people discover that ambition is not the most important thing in their lives, and after many difficulties and adventures they are reunited.
