mont, West Va, last night, of

a like period served the Metho-
dist church at Kingwood. He

The Rev. Craig was a native

was formerly Miss Jessie Somer-
vile, Of Huntington, w. Va, the
wife and one son, George Craig,
of Fairmont, w. Va, survive.
The minister was taken i'll at his

ment. A delegation from St. Paul's

a devoted churchman and one Of the
strongest preachers in the entire con-
ference. His passing is greatly re-
GREETED by hundreds of people.

THE REPUBLICAN BEGINS
ITS FTY-SECOND YEAR
Today's Issue Marks Start On
Another Milestone.

With today's issue The Republican
begins the ffty-second year Of its ex-
istence. having been founded on Sat-
urday, February 28, 1877 and its first
issue appearing the following Sat-
urday, March 3. Capt. James A. Hay

the founder and editor until July 4,
1890. Capt. Hayden is still living at
the Park and has keen interest in
every subject Of the present day.

the first publication in masthead, butt
little else is similar. Professional

the ''inside" pages being what was
then known as patented or syndicated
material were printed in Cleveland,
Ohio, and contained little or no news
of local nature, and on the "home-
printed" pages local news was Woe
fully lacking. At that time, however,
it can be safely said that the paper
had all that there was, and the first
attempt in the publication of The Re-
publican was credit to the editor
who had purchased the plant from Z
T. Abel, of Baltimore, who had CONF
to Oakland a few years before and esG
tablished the Garrett County Gazette.
During the ffty-one years OF ITS
existence The Republican has had bat

growing list of patrons.
Forty-eight years from now, when
the century mark will have been

TRANSFORMER BURNS AND
OAKLAND IN DARKNESS
Fire Sunday at Sub-StatiOn Cuts
Off Lights and Power

Fire, originating in the transform
ers of the Oakland sub-station of the
West Maryland Power Company, To-
Gated alongside the Military road just
south of town, plunged Oakland, Mt.
Lake Park, Deer Park and all other
communities using the product of the
company, into darkness Sunday night
about $3.50 O'Clock, and service was
not resumed until Monday eveing at
8:15 o'clock.
New transformers to take the place
of those destroyed, had to be trans
ported to Oakland from Morgantown,
and the icy condition of the road
caused a long delay in their arrival
here. In less than three hours after
they had arrived, however, Oakland
again had electricity. The power was
again cut off on Tuesday afternoon
and remained off until about $50 in
the evening in order that proper adj
justments could be made.
Lack of power with which to oper-
ate machinery created hardship in
many places, none moreso, however,
than in The Republican Office where
the eight motors used to operate the
various machines stood idle. This con-
dition has to be met in every commu-
nifty and things are now running along
smoothly.
In addition to destroying the trans
formers the fire also burned the two
supporting poles, causing them to fall
to the ground The damage sustained
by the power company car ot be esti-
mated but it viii probabl several
