When there is an element of self
interest, it is rather easy to be
booster of the community in which we
live. Therefore, the good things said
about the home town by resident,
are usually taken, with grain of
salt. But when the casual visitor
praises a community without stint,
and there is no possibility of his hav-
ing an axe to grind we can well take
it that he is expressing anhonestop
ion. To illustrates. A visitor from
Lexington, KY, together with his
wife, spent several weeks here, the
guests of relatives. He is man of
wide experience. conducting prof.
table business in his. home town. He
was frequent visitor in Oakland and
took long drives over most of the
paved roads in Garrett county and the
neighboring states. When asked his
opinion of this mountain top, he first
referred to Oakland, saying that it
had the appearance. of being much
larger than its population indicated;
that it's stores were Tar above the
average, and that the merchants were
very courteous and seemed anxious
to please. Having occasion to visit
dentist while here, he remarked that
if he lived within a hundred miles OF
Oakland, this same dentist would be
favored with whatever work he was
compelled to have, done, He praised
the scenery, saying that no matter
how frequently he travelled the roads,
they never grew monotonous. But,
he added, "No one seems willing to
advertise the advantages of Garrett
county" Take this for what it is
worth. -, a..
