few remaining years of her life. She
was student in the Garrett County
High school for two years. Miss
Smith is survived by her parents, Mr.
and Mr.. H. W. Smith, three sisters:
Ethel, Ferne and Hazel, and one
brother, Lester. The funeral was held
Sunday at 2:30 o'clock at the Fern
dale Baptist church. Rev. Frank Nc
Camic had charge of the service, as
sisted by Rev. Johnson, of Loeb Lynn.
The esteem in which the deceased was
held was shown by the immense array
of flowers given by her friends, all
of which were exceptionally beauti-
full. In his talk at the service, Mr..
McCamic sounded a note of warning
to all to prepare to meet death, for we
know not the day nor the hour when
we shall be called. He spoke very
feelingly and lovingly of the traits of
character possessed by the young girl,
firstly the beautiful life she led, then
as friend who always had smile
and cheerful word for ALL She had
that sweet disposition and forgiving
spirit that to know her was to love
her. She was a girl whose place will
not be easily filled in the world and
impossible to be filled in the home.

Big Sidetrack Facilities for Emmons
Coal Company.

The laying of two sidetracks of fifty
coal car capacity each was started by
the Western Maryland Railroad Com
pany for the Emmons Coal Mining
Company at Bayard, this county, on
Monday. The Western Maryland Rail
way Company continues to maintain
its daily loading average of about $50
cars at mines of the Upper Potomac
and Georges Creek fields, although
Tuesday saw an increase, BAL cars
having been filled and sent rolling east
to Port Covington, which was opened
Tuesday and is considered the most
complete unloading pier along the At
lantic coast. During normal times
prior to the general depression in the
coal and industrial business the rail-
way company dispatched an average
of from 800 to 1000 loads per day. The
greater amount of fuel handled by
either railroad goes north from the
ports, practically none being trans
ported to foreign lands.

 impossible for farmers to buy the

 Since Bulletin No. -999 was issued, there has been a further radical de- cline in the price of certain staple agricultural products that are grown in this region.
 dq not know of anything that could be more conclusive of what it is necessary to do now in order that the general business depression may be overcome. A readjustment of ex- change values between raw farm pro- ducts and finished materials must be effected before there can be a perm anent return to anything like nor ma1cy
 Meanwhile, what shall be the course of the prudent business man? Shall he simply await results, confident in the belief that everything will come out all right and that he will re- ceive his share of the returns when a satiSfa ctory solution has been at Caineu!
