Oakland, recently gave up his posi-
ton and one day last week opened
shoe repairing shop in the building
adjoining the Oakland Garage. He is
prepared to do all kinds of cobbler's
work and will install in a short time

Last Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick
j. Garrett, of Deer Park, accompanied
by Miss Margaret Browning, of Oak
land, left here on a business and
pleasure trip to the northwest. After
visiting relatives in Illinois and St.
Paul, Mimi, they will continue west
to Yellowstone Park, visiting also the
battlefield in Montana where General
Custer and his troops were overcome
by the Indians. The party will return
to their homes by way of Salt Lake
City, Utah, and Denver, Col.
The residents of Frostburg have
taken the fire prevention crusade seri-
ously. The chief of the fire depart
ment, the mayor and other city off
Gals made an inspection of every
house in the business district of the
town and found five only that were
in bad condition. The merchants made
thorough cleanup. They are anx-
ious to secure lower insurance rates,
but Chief Hughes says to do this CO.
operation of citizens must be secured
to make fire-prevention week every
week.

The Republican has just added to its
linotype equipment another magazine
of matrices which will give to the me-
chanical department sufficient faces of
type casting devices to accommodate a
greater range of work than has here
tofore been possible With the limo
type in successful operation for the
past two and a-half years The Repub-
lican has never been embarrassed on
account of the lack of compositors for
newspaper work, but in other depart
ments we have at times felt the pinch
of short handedness severely.
Two mounted officers of the West
Virginia State Constabulary were in
Oakland Monday, having come over
here from point near Bayard, West
Va, where they had been engaged
in running down violators of the laws
of our sister commonwealth. The
men were mounted upon handsome
and spirited horses and presented
quite a soldierly appearance. These
officers were met here by two of the
Maryland State force. The presence
of the men was remarked upon by
some of the citizens in that with
their automatics strapped to their
waists it smacked somewhat of Ger
man militarism rather than of true
American independence. The people
as rule, especially in this section of
the county, do not need to have an
armed force or even one man armed
with an automatic in order to enforce
the laws.
