WHOLESALE GROCERY TO
HOLD RECEPTION JULY z
AT Which New Branch House
In Oakland Will Be Formally
Opened For Business

Readers of The Republican will re-
call that several months ago there
appeared news item in these col
umns stating that the Piedmont Gro
Gerry Company, which has enjoyed for
number of years a lucrative bust
ness not only at its home but also
among the merchants of Oakland and
Garrett county, and seeing the posi-
bilities of extending their trade in
this community they purchased the
II. W. Kahl property located on Lib
erty street for the purpose of estab-
fishing a branch house here. While
the grocery company has been MAX
ing deliveries to the merchants here
and at other points in the county for
several weeks past, no formal an
nouncement that they were ready to
serve their customers has been made.
Tuesday, however, Mr.. D. w. An
ders, of Piedmont who is the general
manager of the concern, came to Oak
land and stated that on Wednesday
next, July End, the branch house in
Oakland would be formally opened
and that on that day a public recep-
ton to the merchants and other bust
ness men of the town and county will
be held,
The grocery company will be rep
resented by its board of directors as
follows: D. w. Anders, Judge J. NJ
Reynolds, W. A. Beavers, of Grafton;
Samuel Bradley, of Barton; c. X
Wilson, of Burlington; C. H. Vossler
of Keyser; E. ]. Roberts, of West
ernport, and D. E. Offutt, of Oakland
The reception will be from 10 a. m
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

of the Petersburg branch of the gro
Gerry company, will have charge of the
Oakland branch.

DUNHAM WILL CASE BEING
HEARD In CIRCUIT COURT
Matter Has Had The Attention
OF Court and Jury Since
Monday Morning

Following recess of more than
week, the Circuit Court for Garrett
county, with Judge Albert A. Doub
presiding, resumed its session on last
Monday morning at which time the
case of Miss Orley V. Durham VS..
Resley c. Resi-, executor, was called.
The case is one of interest to many
residents of Oakland and the county
at large. The court room has been
practically filled with men and wo-
men every day since the jury was
empanneled to hear the evidence, a
large array Of witnesses having been
summoned to testify for both sides.
The case is being tried before a
jury and is being stubbornly fought by
the lawyers representing Miss Dun
ham as well as by those who appear
for Mr.. Resi-.
The case concerns the last will and
testament of the late Mrs. Jane Dun
| ham of Oakland, mother of Miss Or
ley " Durham Mr.. Resi-, brother of
| Mrs. Durham, under the terms of the
will, was made the executor and has
taken possession of the property, a
sum of money approXimating $4,000
which, by the terms of the will, was to
remain intact, Miss Durham to re.
ceive the interest under certain con.
ditions Should the conditions be vi.
olated, then she was to be cut off en-
tirely from participation in the es.
! tate and it was to revert to the Resi-
heirs.
The contention on the part of Miss
Durham was that her mother at the
time the will was executed was of un.
sound mind and incapacitated from
executing valid deed or contract OF
of making disposition of her prop
erty
A number of physicians gave it as
their opinion that one afflicted as Mrs
Durham was thus incapactated. Othel
witnesses, neighbors of Mrs. Durham
testified as to her condition at thu
time the will was made. Prior tt
the making of the will Mrs. Dunbar
had been paralyzed.
Attorneys Horace P. Whitworth, o.
Westernport, and Fred A. Thayer anC
Julius C. Renninger, Of Oakland, arr
representing Mr.. Resi-, while Messrs
Gilmor S. Hamill, of Oakland, ant
D. Lindley Sloan and David A. Robb
of Cumberland, are attorneys TO
Miss Durham.

Their Combined Ages Total 253
Years,

The other day three of the old pa
triarchs of the county, Messrs. Ralph
Browning aged "a; William Brown
ing, ST., 81, and George NJ Mason,
80, were occupying adjacent chairs in
barber shop in town. The three men
have been witnesses of every impor-
tant event in modern times. They
have seen the stage coach in this sec
ton give way to the railroad; the in
PRODUCTION of the telegraph, telephone,
electricity and nearly every other
modern contrivance. They were all
young men when the great battles of
the Civil War were fought, one of
whom, Mr.. Mason, being engaged as
a soldier at Gettysburg. Their COM
bined ages total 253 years, which an
tedates to Declaration of Indepen-
dence five years more than a century
and takes one back into history to the
year 1911, ten years prior to the
time when Charles XII, of Sweden, be-
came an absolute monarch, and like
wise ten years prior to the date of
the founding of Pennsylvania by Will
liam Penn and LaSalle sailing down
the Mississippi and taking possession
of Louisiana in the name of Louis of
France.

DEER PARK HOTEL WILL
FORMALLY OPEN TODAY
More Than 100000 Has Been
Spent On improvements.

The Deer Park Hotel, purchased
from the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road COMPANY during the past winter
by the Duncan Hotel Company, will
open today for the season of 1924.
The outlook for this popular sum-
mer resort is unusually good. The
hotel will be managed by Mr.. j. H..
Flynn. of New York City, who was
connected for several years with one
of the most popular hotels of the me-
tropolis.
For many weeks past artisans in
great number have been engaged in
rehabilitating the hotel at an expense
of more than 100000, which sum has
provided much new equipment in the
way of furniture, carpets, ETC., redec-
Grafton of the walls of the hotel and
the repainting of the entire property.
In addition the management has
under way plans for the building of a
lake on the Charles A. Ashby farm,
Immediately opposite and adjoining
the hotel property. This will require
the expenditure of an additional sum
approximating 100000 The lake will
be mile and a quarter long and will
afford ample opportunity for canoe
ing and bathing. Providing nothing
unforeseen occurs, work on this con-
templated addition to the hotel prop
erty will begin within two weeks.
