commence Immediately the location
of the road at each end, preparatory
to the commencement of the work
by the contractors, who are here,
ready to start work in 10 days. We
believe the Church street line has
been adopted. We hope to see the
road pushed forward with rapidity.
We can now say to our readers and
the many warm railroad men of
Washington county, that the West
ern Maryland Railroad is no longer
a by-word but a reality-a live rail-
road"
The following were officials of
Hagerstown in 1866: Mayor, William
Biershing; councilmen, N. S. Bar
Der, Thomas A. Boult, Richard
Sheckles, William Protzman and
William Hall. A news item in the
same paper stated that Mayor Bier
shing had instituted suit against the
editors of certain Hagerstown pa
per.
An adj. read like this: Fifty years
reputation! "Wise's superior earth
enware, wholesale and retail. The
cheapest and best applebutter ware
on the market His superior and
lustrous glazing had defied all com
petition, and has been annually
tasted for SO years. Wareroom in
East Washington street, below the
Public Square"
A new book was advertised as
ready, viz: Frank Moore's new
work, Women of the War, their
Heroism and Self Sacrifice" It was
stated that the object of the book
was to gather and present narratives
of the services of some of the wo-
men who shared the perils of the
war, and ought to inherit its glor-
les.
This was a Hagerstown's paper
running story in connection with
the published statement of the coun-
ty, in 1866: ''The officers connected
with the public schools of this coun-
ty get $1,676.80, independent of the
salary of the treasurer connected
with the school board, who receives
5000 per annum for his services,
making the sum of $2,276.80. The
old system cost the county about
5000 for the same purposes, when
the schools were better managed
and contoinued in session three
months longer than now. The
States Attorney, Francis F. Darby,
gets $1,511.49. The printers charges
in the county are $1,456.42. We
might continue a synopsis of this
wasteful extravaganza of the peo-
pies money, but we think these few
items sufficient to let the people
know what becomes of the taxes
ground out of them by the relent-
less tax gatherer."
Victory Over Decomposition" by
the Original Corpse Freezer" was
advertised by w. F. Hurley, who

give entire satisfaction. We will re-

the finest and best running hearses
in Washington county Also large
stock of furniture on hand for sale.
C. M. Futterer called attention to
the fact that he represented the
Great Eastern Detective Horse In
surance Company. He stated: '"The
past age has been one of risk to the
farmers and graziers, indeed to all
owners of livestock but now that
day is past and he who loses horse,
COW or OK from death, theft, fire, &C.
cident or disease, must blame him
self"
