BOYS HAVE ADVENTURE
In ANTIETAM BOAT RIDE

Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and
Huckelberry Finn are not in it with
two boys of the county. John Hoo
yer, near Smithsburg, and Willis
Brewbaker, this city, who mdae an
unusual trip on the Antietam creek.
The boys took a canvas boat built
by the Hoover boy which was
pitched without and within" sim
liar to Noah's ark and launched at
Bridgeport. The water and cur
rent was fine all the way to Funks-
town. Here more or less trouble
began. They carried the boat.
(Which, however is very light
around and beyond the City Light
Plant. Launching it again the
creek was rather swift and shallow
and the light boat was inclined to
behave rather shaky in getting in
and out of it. But the climax came
when night fell. A camp was
pitched for rest. They don't say
how much they slept. At one time
dogs objected to the Adventures
and chased them up a tree where

time. They finally got to the
Devils Backbone" but decided
to postpone the trip and not go to
their planned destination - Ante
tam Furnace. They report they are
going clear through the next time
after they fix Jagged hole in

A telephone message to the faith

bile and they returned home. But

was illuminated, bonfires appeared
in all quarters and every public
demonstration of joy was exhibit

An elegant supper was prepared
by direction of which the Presi-

lowing toasts were drank, accom-

and volley of musketry to each:

If you chance to travel the Old
Forge Road, a short distance west
of Boards Church toward Hagers-
town, you will pass an orchard of
mulberry trees. These trees got
there from the idea of a resident
of that section to raise silk worms.
This man was Colonel Fitzhugh.
who lived on what later became
10 ENpn in1y DO 20
mentioned as a historical place in
the county at the historical cele
bratiOn here in September, 1887
The venture did not prove success
full and the orchard was evidently
left to it's own fate, which today
is a thickly overgrown miniature
wilderness. 1t is located opposite
the former Samuel Oswald farm
In the cemetery at Smithsburg
there are two graveStOneS, which.
from their appearance will attract
the visitor, as they stand out in
marked contrast to the other grave
stones in the cemetery. Both are
ancient looking and upon reading
the inscriptions it will be found
that they are very old and are con-
nected with the life of Smithsburg
of many years ago.
One of these is the grave Of Paul
HOye who was born March 26, 1876
md died October 13, 1916. 1t will
rbe noticed that Paul Hoye was
Dorm 204 years ago. In this year
of Hoye's birth, Oglethorpe landed
in Georgia with 300 emigrants lin
February including some Mora
VANS, also Charles Wesley as his
secretary and John Wesley as apOs-
tie to the Indians. In this year,
100, the French began war against
the Chickasa Indians.
The other gravestone, alongside
the one named, bears the inscrip-
ton: Marian Hoye, died NOvem-
Der 8, 1911, aged Is years"
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1940-06-28

A monument in close proximity
to the Hoye gravestones are for DR..
Elijah Bishop of Lisbon, Conn.
who died on April 4, 1870, aged
70 years, and Ann HOye, wife of
DR.. Elijah Bishop died April %,
1875.
DR.. Elijah Bishop was the father
of Dr. E. Tracey Bishop, promin-
ent physician who, in the recollec-
ton of many who read this column,
lived at Smithsburg. Another son
was John Bishop who had owned
the old CavetOWn cave and who
moved to Oklahoma with his fam
lily, and who died just few years
ago.
One familiar with the situa ton
believes the HOye bodies, and pos
sibly also those of the Bishops
mentioned, were removed to the
present cemetery from the grave
yard back of the Lutheran Church.

GOdOy : Louis Pictures
At Milo Theatre

The official motion pictures of
the Godoy-Louis heavyweight bout
are among the most thrilling ever
filmed, and it is the pleasure of
the Milo Theatre, Rockville, to pre-
sent them for four days beginning
Wednesday, March 6, in conjunc-
ton with the regular feature films.
Each round is packed with
breath-taking action, and the close
ups show the peculiar style with
which Godoy puzzled Louis
throughout the scrap. In some
of the scenes he looked like a huge
ape waddling around in a crouched
position, with hands almost touch

Perhaps the most unusual sight
ever witnessed in a fight film is
the antics of Godoy after the last
gong, when he hoped up and down
with glee, dancing all over the
ring. His two handlers had to
grab him and hold him still in a
tight embrace, as the announcer
gavethe verdict.
The feature attraction for March
6 will be Joe Penner in "The Day
The Booklets Wept" and on the
7th and 9th, George Raft and Jane
Bryan in Invisible Stripes; while
on Saturday, March 9 will be
