actlVely engaged IN agricultural pur-
suits, announces in The Republican to-
day his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for the Office of County
Treasurer. AS Sheriff, Mr.. Scott was
one of the most efficient officers occu-
plying that position since the forma-
ton of Garrett county. The business
coming into his hands was promptly
attended to and he performed his du-
ties conscientiously and well. He asks
for the support of his party friends
in all parts of the county and plans to
meet all before the day Of the primary
election.
The interior of the Maryland Thea
tire has been greatly improved during
the past two weeks by artists who
have redecorated the walls and bv
making changes in the arrangements
in certain parts of the house it will
be better appreciated by the patrons
of the theatre. The house is now in
the best sanitary condition it is pos
sible to make it and it will be kept
clean, cozy and cool during the months
to come. Manager Brown takes pride
IN presenting not only the best pic
lures obtainable but in making his
patrons comfortable, with the result
that the house is well filled at every
performance.
Among the many improvements to
properties recently made in Oakland
that at the residence of Mr.. James D.
Hamill, ON Oak street, is worthy of
note. Mr.. Hamill has rebuilt as well
as remodeled the porches about the
building and has also had the exterior
repainted and otherwise improved.
Another great improvement has been
the remodeling and general repair of
the Naylor building on Liberty street.
The entire structure is now occupied
by Messrs. A. ,. Naylor G Co.. as a
plumbing establishment and as a store
where heavy hardware will be stocked
and on hand at all times. The second
and third floors of the building is
given over to storage for implements
and vehicles.
Notwithstanding the cold, wet and
generally disagreeable weather that
has prevailed in this section of the
country since last Saturday, with no
immediate indications of a change for
the better, Oakland was pretty we'll
filled with people on Tuesday, the oc-
casion for their presence here being
a circus which was heralded as one of
the largest and best shows on earth,
world renowned and world toured"
The shown arrived in town about ten
o'clock in the morning and at two in
the afternoon the performance with
crowded tent was given. At night,
with smaller attendance, a second
performance was held. Those who
were present state that the animals
were we'll trained and the performan-
ces were creditable.
D. F. Wilson, who resides at The
Stone House on the Baltimore turn
pike vast of Flintstone, says eiv?t
inches of snow fell 60 years ago on the
Bird of May. The fruit trees were then
in bloom and those who resorted to
the eXpedient of brushing the snow
from the trees had no fruit, while
those who permitted the snow to re-
main had crop. Mr.. Wilson recall
ed that John Wigfeld, who lived over
the Mason and Dixon line north of
the Stone House, hooked his horses
in sleigh and drove over to the turn
pike so that he could say that he en-
Joyed the novelty of sleighing in May.
Mr.. Wilson says the thaw was very
heavy while the snow was falling and
streams were soon out of their banks
and that Rocky Gap became a raging
torrent.
At the head of page four of The Re-
publican today will be seen the an
nouncement of Mr.. Charles F. Ham
mond, of Oakland, for the Republican
nomination for the Office of County
Treasurer, subject to the result of
the Republican primary election. Mr..
Hammond has been a resident of Oak
land for upwards of twenty years and
in that time has been engaged almost
continuously in the manufacture of
agricultural lime and road materials,
his plant for this purpose being locat-
ed on the State road near Thayerville.
Mr.. Hammond is an active member of
the Republican party and is splendid
citizens of the town and county. His
qualifications are such as to fit him
for the conduct of the business of the
