MT. LAKE PARK

1t would seem that the Weber Com
pany, florists, really know the date of
that flood. They keep a record of that
sort of thing, which makes the date
June, 1910.
Professor F. E. Rathbun, of Oak
land, says he remembers the old wat
ering trough and the tincups that hung
at the side. He asks, Can you remem-
Der the old ball diamond and team con-
sisting of the late DR.. H. NJ. Carr, Bill
Armstrong, Harry Sanks and some
others ?" We think that A. T. White
may have some information next week
for US on this article.
From Norfolk, Va, comes the mem
DRY of when the late Jacob Echard
was in great demand for trips to Swal-
low Falls and other points. The lady
recalls that there were four horses to
an eight-seated spring wagon. Jack
McGuffin was one of the drivers. Trips
were made to Swallow Falls, Come
ways Tower, Boiling Spring and Ea-
gle Rock.
How many can remember just when
ANDY" Dolbow first came to the
Park? 1t was in 1889. He stayed at
Miss Jennie Smiths Hotel. Among
others there at that time were Rev.
Mr.. Lakin, Mrs. Rhieldaffer, Mrs. Re
becca Pickering, of Cleveland; Rev.
Daniels, Rev. Updegraff, who was the
leader of the camp meeting; DR.. Dou-
gan Clark and Rev. Joseph Smith.
Andy Dolbow was governed by no spe-
cial rules in his preaching or in his
actions while on the platform. Ger
tainly those were the days of real
camp meeting.
And speaking of camp meeting days
we saw a picture of the old Assembly
House, operated by Mr.. and Mrs. Saw
yer and their daughter Alice. In the
group before the cottage were the
Lexington State College Band, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. c. Bardell and their daughters,
Mrs. Daisy B. Hicks and Mrs. Effie
Rogerson, of Moundsville; Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Corners, of Wheeling,
and Miss Annie Close, of Mountain
Lake Park, besides many others. Since
writing this we have been informed
that Mrs. Alice Sawyer Wayman, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, died
at her home in Cameron, w. Va, last
Sunday.
We hope the readers of this column
are not bored. Certainly there seems
to be great deal of interest in these
articles-that is, if people calling us
and sending in material, means any
thing. A suggestion has been made
that some of the old pictures be re-
produced. Whether or not that would
be possible, we are unable to say at
this time.
Death of Mrs. Florence BashOre ri
Many persons in the Park will learn
with deep regret of the death of Mrs.
Florence H. Bashore, a summer resi-
dent here. Mrs. Bashore died in
Baltimore hospital on Thursday and
was buried in Clarksburg on Sunday.

thinks that in the next three months
natural causes will bring about a re-
covery; third, if they do not, then he
is inclined to think there is nothing
to do but spend more money If he
has anything more concrete in his
mind at the moment, those who have
closest contact with him do not
know it.
1t is true that at his press confer
ences he continues to convey the idea
that everything is under control; that
he has definite idea of where he is
going. But there he is giving a
show" which he greatly enjoys. Those
who talk with him privately get diff
ferent impression and are given a
different show Even at the press con-
ferences there IS an increase of con-
| fusion due to the contradictory nature
of his statements and the vagueness
of his views; also, to the fact that the
policies outlined there are sometimes
dropped in a day and Congress rarely
gets them officially. Recently the
President has been getting resentful
at the commissioning from GER
tainly not unfriendly journalistic
sources-over his lack of direction,
and fear is expressed that these may
irritate him into unsound action.
1t is rather an appalling idea, but
it seems well founded, that with the
departure of Mr.. Kennedy the most
conservative influence near the Presi-
dent is his son James, whose insur-
ance income, if sustained year or so
more, undoubtedly will put him in the
"intrenched-wealth class, a group
which he is not in the least averse to
joining. Considering the circumstan-
ces, this was rather an unfortunate
moment for publication of the fact
that the serial rights Of the Presi-
dents Forthcoming volume containing
his public messages and speeches had
been sold to a syndicate for 100000;
that Judge Rosenam, who edited the
work, is to get 35 per cent, the liter
airy agents who peddled it 10 per cent,
and the President the remaining SIS
per cent, which, his secretary CURLY
says, will not go to charity. A year
ago this unprecedented proposition
would not have created the caustic
comment now heard "up on the hill"

Youngsters Display Versatile
Talent AT Band Entertainment

The Community Music School
and its band presented their first
evenings entertainment Friday ev-
ening at the Williams Ave. Y. The
youngsters, ranging in age from
8 to IL were under the direction
of their teacher, Bert Turner and
Mrs. Turner.
Leading off with spirited march
es, the young musicians featured
their drum corps who quite won
the large audience with their in
tricate rat-a-tat-tats. To show the
bands versatility they also played
pair of waltzes. Keep Smilin'
and Yours Truly" were original
numbers composed by Mr.. Turner
himself, that were presented by
the band and received much ap-
plause from the listeners.
A dozen of the very youngest
sang in tinid treble voices the cho-
rus of Bob White" with little Miss
Bera Bruce taking the solo part.
Their timidity erased by the evil
dent approval of the audience the
little ones then sang several nur-
sery songs. They closed their part
of the program with a spiritual
which all of them thoroughly en-
joyed singing. Mrs. Turner accom-
panied them.
Cleverly arranged to allow in
dividuals in the band to do their
specialties, James Thompson con-
Quoted Major Bowes amateur
program. Alphonso Scruggs, tall
ented 11-year-old tap dance, did
his turn with professional ease.
There followed cornet solos, and
duets, saxaphone solos and a sax
duet played by two girls in the
band. Miss Alberta Lawton pleas
ed with her rendition of "Once in
a While" as did a quartet of girl
dancers.
A "Peckin' contest with the
audience as judge was held with
three sets of brothers and their
sisters taking part. Alphonso
Scruggs danced with his sister
Juanita, Tony Tuggles chose his
sister Lollie, while Leonard and
Vera Bruce made the third couple.
A number that went over in
big way was True Confession"
sung ala Milded Baylie by De-
lores Caldwell.
Sydney Porter was the able ac-
companist for the entire Major
Bowes section of the program. The
