There seems to be quite a rivalry
among Maryland towns to get one of
the armories which the State is to
build, and their claims show a consid-
cradle interest in the organization and
keeping up the Maryland National
Guard. In Adjutant General Milton
A. Reckord's report, the four towns
named for these armories are Cum
berland, Centerville, Hagerstown and
Silver Springs. Cumberland is the
second-sized city in Maryland and the
State already owns a suitable lot in
the city.
Mr.. n. U. Bond, well known in Oak
land and Garrett county, and by his
intimate friends called Colonel" is
now an honest to goodness Colonel,
he having recently been apprised of
his appointment with the rank of Col
onel on the staff of Governor Morrow
/ of Kentucky. Mr. Bond with his fam
lily is now sojourning at St. Peters
burg, Florida, where he purchased
/ home surrounded with orange trees
last winter. The Republican congrat-
ulates Mr.. Bond upon his appointment
by the Governor of his adopted State
The report comes to Oakland from
what is considered good authority
that Carroll D. Kelly, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alvey Kelly, former residents
of Oakland, is a patient in Walter
Reed Hospital, Washington, where he
may have to undergo an operation
involving the amputation of both his
feet as the result Of exposure and
service overseas with the A. f. F.
Young Kelly was quite a favorite as
a youth with the people of Oakland
who will deeply regret to learn Of his
misfortune
The Garrett County Fair Associa-
ton was in receipt on Monday from
the State Of Maryland of a check for
$555.55, which sum was taken from
an appropriation made some years ago
for distribution among the various
counties where agricultural fairs are
held, and is used for the purpose Of
aiding these organizations in their en-
deavors to create interest among the
growers of live stock and agricultu.
ralists in making exhibits. The fund
received this year is $685. in excess
Of the amount awarded the associa-
ton in 1920.
