Mt. LAKE PARK

Laughlin, the Park was purchased il
the year 1881. The first camp meeting
was held in 1882. Mountain Lake was
at that time nearly all wooded. Re
strictions were plentiful. Some OF
them would not do us much harm al
the present time. For instance, it was
necessary to have a permit to erect
even chicken coop. If a stable was
built there were very strict laws gov
erning the stated times or number of
times when said stable and premises
must be cleaned, and that was several
times each week. There were many
others, but none sounded so good as
the above mentioned. Wireless teleg-
raphy was demonstrated at the first
Chautauque held in the auditorium
Cottages were scattered and tents
were plentiful.
Mrs. Laughlin and her husband, the
late DR.. J. W. Laughlin, moved here
from Deer Park and for some time re-
sided in the Howell property or what
is now known as the EnloW property.
P. T. Cartwright was the owner of
Maryland Inn, which was later torn
down and in it's stead the homes of
Mrs. d. NJ. Dixon and Mrs. |. d. Hill
were built. ,.'
We believe, if all people tell us is
true, that these old memories of Mt.
Lake are interesting and we regret
that for time they have fallen down.
However, there is promise Of some
very good stories to come later.
Watch fires while burning leaves.
The rumor that we spoke of some
weeks ago regarding the Baltimore
League has been verified the League
will not be here. Officials of the body
have been here the past week and re-
moved all property belonging to it.
We repeat this because many people
told us we were wrong at the time it
was written for this column.
Don't forget the Boys Band.
