New Telephone Directories Are
Distributed Here

New telephone directories of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company of Baltimore City, serving
Garrett county have just been deliv-
cred to subscribers at Oakland and
Kitzmiller, Md, and in Blaine, W. Va.

rectory Manager G. A. Kinds urges
that all previous books be turned in or
destroyed so that there will be no
confusion caused by calling wrong

Approximately 1886 telephones, there
having been a gain of 16 during 1884.
In addition to the telephones listed
in these central offices served by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Company,

subscribers in Avilton, Garrett county.
The front pages of the directory are
devoted to general information on how
to use the telephone and directory,
explanations of various types of calls,
and rates from Oakland and vicinity
to various out-of-town points.

NEW VOTING DIVISION TO
INCLUDE MT. LAKE PARK
The Park, Loeb Lynn and Sur
rOundings to be in District

A committee from among a group
of Mt. Lake Park citizens has been
appointed to propose boundaries for
a new election district or precinct for
the county to include Mt. Lake Park,
Loeb Lynn Heights, and surrounding
territory. Those named included Oar
win Martin, James A. Elliott and H.
L. Bittner.
At a meeting of a group of citizens
of Mt. Lake Park before the Board
of Supervisors of Election of Garrett
County, several weeks ago, the Board
agreed either to make a new district
or make the section in question the
third precinct of district seven. The
need for such a division was pointed
out by the citizens of Mt. Lake Park,
due to the fact that a recent survey
showed the population of Mt. Lake
Park to be 407, and that of Loeb
Lynn 252, making it quite a center. 1t
was also stated that persons in the vi
entity of Loeb Lynn had to go to
Deer Park in order to cast their vote,
while others had to come to Oakland.
Still another group had to vote at
German, in district number 8.
The new precinct or election district
will include part of numbers 7, 8, and
10.

Mr.. Grounding Sees His Shadow
And Winter Continues

The grounding came forth on Sat
urday. Since the day was rather muir
ky he decided to stay out and look
about, and this caused his downfall.
He stayed out until about II o'clock
and then the sun shone forth and
seeing his shadow he tucked his tail
between his legs and scampered for
home.
A few minutes later he had stirred
more excitment over the State than
anything since the election. Wires
buzzed from the Sang Run cave, tele-
phone bells tinkled and messengers
scurried here and there to tell the
people that there would be six more
weeks of winter weather.
His prediction was followed closely
by freezing weather and on Sunday
more snow began to fall, showing that
for once at least the old grounding
knew what he was about.
