to reproduce something of the

color exhibition now being held at the
Corcoran Gallery.
1t is of pictures selected from the
combined exhibition of the New York
Water Color Club and the American
Water Color Society.
Sixteen of the water Colors are sea

They had as their guests twenty
Scouts of the Friendsville Troop, with
their Scoutmaster, Mr.. W. E. Tarbell
and their troop committee. Local
Scouts Franklin, Lee, Altstetter, Dix.
on and Smouse made short talks on

B. & @. OFFICIALS VISIT
COAL FIELDS At JENNINGS
As Guests of W. A. Morgart
they Inspect Railroad and
Mines in Garrett County

George NJ. Shriver, first vice-pres-
dent, and Charles w. Galloway, vice
president in charge Of operation, Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, spent last
Frtday at Jennings, Garrett county,
as guests of William A. Morgart,
president of the Morgart Coal Min
ing Corporation, and president of the
Ca5selman Valley Railroad Company.
The Baltimore and Ohio railway Of
fic ais wished to get first-hand knowl-
edge of the vast undeveloped re-
sources of Garrett county which it is
believed will mean much for the fu-
ture of the Baltimore and Ohio.
The Casselman Valley Railroad,
which was originally the Jennings
Bros Railroad, but which has not
been operated for upwards of two
years on account of the slowness of
the coal market, touches the Balti-
more and Ohio at Worth, Pa, on the
Pittsburgh division. At that point
the railroad officials parked their pri-
vate cars and made trip over the
road to Mine No. of the Morgart
holdings, south of Jennings, a dis
lance of Is miles, on two gasoline
motor cars.
The Casselman Valley Railroad is to
be reconstructed, authority having
been given by both the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Ma
ryland Public Service Commission. It's
restoration is essential to handle the
vast tonnage which would be deliv-
cred to the Baltimore and Ohio. An
other matter of as great Importance
to shippers along its line is the re-
ceipt and shipment of products. Es-
pecially is this true insofar as the
merchants of Grantsville is concern
ed. At this time they are compelled
to truck their merchandise to and
from Salisbury or other points on the
Pittsburgh branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio, which has proved expensive
and fraught with delay.
The Morgart holdings cover 1000
acres, including many seams of the
high grade big vein volatile coal and
many stratas of what has been pro-
nounced the best glass sand.
There were ten in the party that
made the visit to the coal fields, the
other officials returning to the cars at
Worth while Messrs. Shriver and Gal
loway spent the day at Jennings and
were Mr.. Morgart's dinner guests. They
motored to Cumberland from Jen-
nings Friday night with Mr.. Morgart
where their private cars were in wait

visory capacity in matters of church
policy and church government.

thy, Mr.. Alternately continued to live
alone at his home in Wilson. Sur
viving him is one sister, Mrs. Jere-
miah Harvey, of Garrett county; an
adopted daughter, Mrs. Mary Har-
vey, of Bayard, W. Va, and a grand
son, Keith Alternately, of Stockton
Cal. Mr.. Alternately was a farmer
and resided on his farm near Fair
view church until about eight years
ago, when he moved to Wilson.
He was a member of the Fairview
Brethren church where his funeral

2;30 o'clock, Rev. Emery Fike being
in charge and conducting the services.
