PENNIES IN THE BOX
CThe Postman Speaks

am one of Uncle Sans postal boys,
I'm hearty and I'm hale,
I've nothing in the world to do
But glide around with mail.
But one thing nearly breaks my
heart.
And my nervous system shocks,
Its, the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such;
And ] would like to sell few
'Twould please me very much.
But man can't sell unless you buy,
No matter how he talks;
So I've kept on diving
After the pennies in the box.
It's all right in the spring time,
Or when the summer hreezes
blow,
But different proposition
When it is thirty below;
When all your fingers and your toes.
toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box
And now quite confidential,
I'll tell you something more;
A rural carrier way out West
Forgot himself and swore.
He said Il can stand the snow
drifts,
] can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measley pennies
In blasted measley box
When the roll is called up yonder"
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let a mail man in =
If they knew he'd learned tc n

If you want st. Peter to open the
gate
When your rural carrier knocks.
Buy stamps and don't be guilty 4
OF putting pennies in the box.

DIED
JOEI PPENNEN

Mrs. Joel Brenneman, Familiarity
known as Aunt Kate Brenneman, was
born March Is, 1915, and died Septem-
Der 81, 1927, at the age of 50 years,
months and days. She was united
in marriage with Joel J. Brenneman
on February 5, 1867, to which union
twelve children were born, three #
whom preceded her to the grave,
namely, Mrs. Henry Wiley, Miss Cora
Brenneman, and son, Silas. Her
husband died in 1900.
The surviving children are Mrs. c..
O. Reckner, Mrs. John O'Brien and
Mrs. Charles Faidley; Jacob, William,
Thomas, Dennis, Clarence and Frank.
There are 81 grandchildren and 81
Observation-Disclosures two of the grand
children being reared by the deceased
woman. She is also survived by one
sister, Mrs. Joel Buckle. She was a
member of the Lutheran church, hav-
ing united with it at the age of 10
years and remained a faithful, con-
sistent member until death. The fun
eral services were conducted in the
Bittinger Lutheran church, with inter-
ment in the cemetery nearby.
"The half was not told me-" said the
Queen of Sheba, when she heard the
wisdom and saw the wealth of King
Solomon. And so it may well be said
of this faithful woman of God. The
Scripture which so fittingly describes
this one who walked with God may be
found in Proverbs 31:10-31.

WELCOME, WEST VIRGIN
IANS!

While numerous sky pilots have
been attempting to open new high
ways in the air, thousands of feet
above US, but have not yet entirely
succeeded, there is still something 60
ing on down here on earth that is
worth much thought and worthy of
celebration.
On Tuesday, October A, the Oak
Thomas highway will be officially
opened and dedicated at the intersec-
ton of the Maryland-West Virginia
State line, and large celebration has
been planned by the people of Davis
and Thomas, West Va, and the peo-
pie of Oakland and vicinity.
A desire to have a celebration for
the opening of this road signifies that
the people realize what it will mean to
them, and citizens from both ends of
the highway should back the move
heartily for two reasons especially.
There may be and doubtless are many
reasons, but two are sufficient to illus
trate.
First, people who were practically
isolated from each other before will
now be neighbors. Thomas, only %
miles from Oakland, has always
seemed like a hundred miles away,
simply because it took long time to
go there and over unimproved roads
that were almost impossible at almost
every season of the year. To be good
neighbors, people must be friendly,
and a gathering to celebrate the open
ing of the road will go a long way in
beginning this friendship that must
last throughout the ages.
Second, although it may not seem
exactly in good taste, there is the
financial side to it. The new highway
will be the only outlet for the people
in the West Virginia section and in
coming out they will must necessarily
pass through Oakland. Traffic thru
Oakland and Garrett county as re-
suit of the completion of this road
will be appreciably increased. On the
other hand, Tucker and Randolph
counties have many Of the beauty
spots of the entire United States, and
much more traffic will be directed to-
ward that section from not only Gar
rett county but from any other por-
tions of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Let the latter reason remain secon-
dairy, however, and everybody prepare
to join in the celebration next Tues
day. AS Garrett countians, let US
show the people of West Virginia that
we are glad of this new opportunity
of getting in closer touch with them.
Let them know that we appreciate
their good will by attending this road
opening in vast numbers. Let the slo-
gan be: "West Virginians welcome to
Garrett County and Maryland"
