Owing to congested conditions pre-
vailing at various places selected by
the Board of Supervisors for holding
elections in the two Oakland districts,
it has been found necessary to change
the polling places, notice of which

been with Mr.. Offutt in Cumberland
since his recent illness, motored to
Oakland yesterday with her daughter
Miss Fannabelle and spent the day

condition will improve.
Now that the hunting season is
almost upon us, or, in fact, is with
US now, as far as hunting coal, moon
shine. etc, is concerned, the following
item from the Easton Gazette will
interest disciples of Ramrod, or MIN
rod, or whatever the patron saint of
hunters is called: Squirrels, so plen-
tiful last season, are few and far be-
tween this year. Rabbits and birds,
however, are said to be plentiful"
Mr. Truman w. Casteel, of near
town, who was an inmate of the
Frederick City Hospital for several
weeks following an automobile acct
dent in which he and others were in
volved, was brought to his home on
Monday by his son William, who went
to Frederick the day previous for the
purpose. While Mr.. Casteel stood the
trip home remarkably well, consider
ing the extent and serious nature of
his injuries, he is suffering at times
with his side and one lung, which was
punctured by broken rib. He hopes
to be out within a short time, how
ever.
The monthly bills for electric cur
rent furnished by the municipal light
ing plant will be somewhat late in
reaching consumers of current this
month. 1t has been the practice to
read all electric meters on the Goth
and DIST of each month, but for Au-
gust they were not read until the 31st
and September LIST, and hence the
bills rendered will be for one and a
third months, or 40 days, instead of
for one month as heretofore. For a
like reason the minimum rate charged
viii be $500 for this longer period, as
against the $l50 minimum for one
month only.
Miss Hazel Englehart, Of Accident,
is visiting one of her classmates, Miss
Evelyn Roblnettc, IN Cumberland, Tor

class of 1922 at the State Normal
School, Frostburg. The people of
Oakland will remember with pleasure
Miss Englehart in the estate Normal
Revue of 1922" and those who saw the
midsummer show recall that she
again played stellar roles. Miss Datha
Thomas, the well known violinist Of
Frostburg, who also starred in the
Revue" has accepted position as
teacher in Carroll county. She and
Miss Englehart expect to continue
their work in music at Peabody Insti-
tute, Baltimore.
