M m m X 5500 >%%: 'g-Cige X <a Jesus said to His disciples—“Go and preach jjJJI VI The Gospel to all creatures, and to each jTO Of them, where’er you find them, do ye break , The Bread of Life, that each one may partake. And do ye go to every land and tribe, m w And as ye go about all praise ascribe 0 To Him Who sends you forth, and in His Name 0 Restore the blind and heal the sick and lame. Vi “Beloved, I must leave you, but I send /BJI VI To you another Comforter and Friend — 0 The Holy Ghost shall come and dwell within mm Your hearts and help to keep you free from sin. J. /Jr" It’s peace and blessing shall on you be laid ; NP Let not your hearts be troubled or afraid ; WS Ye shall abide in Me, and I in j'ou— tt What ye shall ask in My Name will I do.” Then as the Day' of Pentecost drew nigh VI They waited for this blessing from on high, H And met, with one accord, within a place Mm To there receive this power through His grace ; J J And, suddenly, from Heaven there came a sound ** As of a mighty wind —and all around, V Where the disciples sat, the room was filled VI With God’s own Spirit, and each voice was stilled. 0 Then appeared unto them cloven tongues of flame, {J j! Which sat upon their heads till all became VI Filled with the Holy Ghost, and were amazed jgn V To find that as they now their voices raised, jk mm They spake in many tongues before unheard— 2? X That they might spread abroad His Holy Word Into the lands where Christ was yet unknown, And tell the wonders which His love had shown. /JJj! Sara Roberta Getty, (p Whitsunday—June 4, 1911.

Garfield to retain John L. Thomas as Collector of the Port of Baltimore. “A Mutual Cow and Heifer Asso ciation” was a Meyersdale (Pa.) insti tution. At the evening meal a Cumberland family discussed Vennor’s weather prophecies, especially as applying to Canada. A little girl at the table 1 manifested so much interest that she was asked —“do y 7 ou know where Canada is ?” “Yes,” replied she, readily; “it is right above the via duct !” A mail named Hampton, living in Luray, Page county, Va., reported as 1 owning a Bible, printed in Strasburg, Germany, in 1615. He said that it had been hidden in the trunk of a hollow tree during the “Thirty Years War,” and that the stains on the edges of many of the leaves had resulted from moisture gathered from its hiding place. Frostburg has streets, avenues, lanes, alleys and every other kind of thoroughfare except a boulevard. Miss Ann Mullen, daughter of John and Catharine Mullen, of Pekin, died in the 16th year of her age. The town assessors returned $24,000 new assessments, making total of $1,117,840. The Rckhart Base-Ball Club de feated Vale Summit in a close game— -6 to 5. Henry Brode, son of Daniel Brode, of this place, was badly rolled and squeezed between the rib and a car in Eckhart slope Saturday, June 4, 1881. W. H. Wharton, brakeman on C. & P. R., appointed conductor on the G. C. and C. R. Clarence Bantz suc ceeded him on C. and P. Care of State Roads. “Treat the State-built roads kind • ly,” is the plea made by Governor . Crothers. “These roads,” continued ’ the Governor,” will not stand a plow, or a traction engine, or similar vehi cles. No road will stand them. We, ' therefore, urge farmers not to drag plows over them as far as possible. ■ In most cases there is abundant space , on the roadside for plows and traction - engines.” A good suggestion from ■ the best good-roads Governor Mary land ever had. 3 1 ♦ 1 Married. 1 3 In St. Michael’s Church Monday, 3 May 22, 1911, by Rev. J. S. Cuddy, • Miss Catharine B. Cosgrove, of this ' place, to Mr. Rufus N. Oliver, of Cumberland. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cosgrove, of this place. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver have gone to house-keeping in Cumberland. John N. Benson and A. B. Gonser reported as building pretty residences on Frost avenue. What about the proposed tannic acid factory to be erected in Frost burg ? Messrs. William B. Bradley, Ed. Brennan, R. Mooney, Henry Fresh, William Atkinson and Peter O’Rourke applied to County Commissioners for an appropriation to build a bridge over Georges Creek to Hanekamp’s Island. William L. Annan registered at Beall’s Mt. View Cottage. Benjamin Thomas, formerly of this place, later of Meyersdale, Pa., re ported as opening mines in the Elk Garden (W. Va.) region for Maj. Alex. Shaw. A thief entered Henry Seymour’s saloon, Broadway, during the night, and stole sls. W. C. Devecmon, of this place, was appointed to deliver the valedictory address at St. John’s College, Annap olis, Wednesday, June 15, 1881. Total eclipse of the moon due at 1 o’clock, Sunday morning, June 12, 1881. Fifteen cars broke loose from a trip on Eckhart Slope, ran away, not stop ping until they reached the bottom. J. M. Porter busy building five houses at Eckhart. At a shooting-match at Sinclairs ville, W. Va., Tuesday, June 7, three Frostburgers won over three Cumber landers. C. W. Oder 43; Arthur Baker 41; Alfred Cline 39; M. E. Lavin 36; P. J. Smith 34, and C. H. Slaughter 24. Dr. C. H. Ohr and State’s attorney D. W. Sloan, both of Cumberland, elected chairman and secretary, re spectively, of the County Board of Health. Political. The Cumberland American said last week— The underground wires are al ready at work for the coming cam paign. It is reported that at a conference held here this week Dr. Timothy Griffith, of Frostburg, was selected as the candidate to oppose Mr. John L. Wellington for county treasurer. Thus the fight goes on. Seems Strange. The Greensburg (Pa.) Argus says “the Jeanette High School is having its troubles. A number of applicants for graduation were turned down and a strike is threatened. It is not thought the constabulary will be called out, but a spanking is due and badly needed.” That situation could hardly be different in any school wherein “graduate” is an office or an honor that must be applied for. Contingencies. Reader, does it ever occur to you that the most interesting items of news are the ones that we never see in print?—Cumber land American. Concerning “the most interesting items of news” there is a difference of opinion. In the Journal’s humble judge ment, the marriage of two nice young people is “the most interesting item,” and it is one the Journal never miss es. unless— 1, The contracting parties inveigh the minister into keeping quiet, or — 2, It turns out that, though an “in teresting item of news,” it never hap pened. A Big Evetit. The Free Masons of Allegany and Garrett counties will meet in Cumber land next Tuesday, 6th inst., and, un der auspices of the State Grand Lodge the corner-stone of the proposed Tem ple will be laid with elaborate and im pressive ceremony. Gen. Thomas J. Shryock, Grand Master, aided by other Grand Officers will officiate, and Harry A. Rawley, Right Eminent Commander of Knights Templar of the State, will have com mand of the parade features. The lodges which constitute the line-up will be— Antioch Commandery, Knights Templar, of Cumberland; — Beausant Commandery, of Balti more; — Potomac Lodge, Free Masons, of Cumberland; — Ohr Lodge, of Cumberland; — Hiram Lodge, of Western port; — Kemp Lodge, of Mt. Savage;— Allegany Lodge, of Barton; — George’s Creek Valley Lodge, of Lonaconing;— Mountain Lodge, of Frostburg, and— Bowers Lodge, of Hancock. Mountain Lodge, of this place, will be accompanied by the Arion Band. ! At 7p.m. a luncheon will be served | in Footer’s Hall. 1 From Ito 6p. m. the streets of 3 Cumberland have been pre-empted for \ public display of the open excellencies 1 of the greatest secret Order in the \ world and in history. I \ Keep At It. ’ The Oaklank (Md.) Journal tells the 1 people of its community— -1 Clean up the yards about the home, whitewash or paint all out buildings and the fences, plant flowers and sow grass seed and thereby make the home pretty to look upon, as well as more health ful for your occupancy and pleas ant for the community at large. This will create a civic pride in any community, even though it may be an unconscious realization of the fact. Spring time is cleaning up time, and this applies to the > homes in the country as well as the homes in the town. Let every body clean up. Would Be a Big Thing. The people of Keyser, W. Va., want the Cumberland and Westernport Elec tric Railway Company to extend its line to their town—a distance of five miles. It is a reasonable wish. With a belt line taking in the tri-towns and the one due to Frostburg, the C. and W. F. R. would be the “dandiest” big ’ passenger and small freight carrier in America’s greatest diggings. Here to See for Themselves. Messrs. G. W. Rutherford, foreign representative of the Consolidation Coal Company, with headquarters in ( London, and H. A. Damche, of the New York office of the company, representing New Jersey territory, were here last Friday and Saturday looking into mining conditions, qual ity of coal, etc. Their methods of investigation are 1 very exhaustive, and it is believed ■ they went away very favorably im - pressed. They had been to the Fairmont (W. . Va.) region, and from here they went to Somerset, Pa. T Correction. ) In looking over the Beall High f School display last week the Jour nal’s representative, in omitting the . names of Miss Hanson, second grade; Miss Garrett, fourth; Misses McAllis ter and Davis, fifth grade, had no in * tention of ignoring their work, con sisting of weaving, crocheting, hem stitched aprons, hand-bags, knit slip pers, and beautifully-adorned hand made cushions. Unlike the displays elsewhere, however, these ladies’ names did not appear in connection therewith. Hence, they were dis posed of as follows : On entering the Journal, was taken into one of the class-rooms on the first floor, where all the work of the High School depart s ment was on display, consisting l of knitting, basket-weaving, cro s cheting, cushions, aprons, hats 1 and a number of articles too nu t merous to mention. The work e shows skilled training. 1 It was an error, probably, to report 1 this work as “of the High School De -1 partment,” yet that it was so regarded 1 and stated is a compliment to the teachers named and their pupils. HENRY P. COOK, Manager. WHOLE NUMBER 2,069. TO ULLAINEE On the Ninth Anniversary of Her Birthday. M. A. Chambers. Bordering’ now on maidenhood, Fond daughter fair, and mild, and good ; : It is meet that now your parents should Increasing efforts show— To guide your budding thoughts aright— ■ To shun the false -and choose the right— To keep your mind from speck of blight, And thus we’d have you grow. We’d have you modest —not too gay— Fresh and sweet as flowers of May;— Gentle, mild, and discreet alway, Nor show impatience ever. We’d have you use your eyes and ears, So you’ll not cause us sighs nor tears, Nor sorrow bring in later years To hearts that would not waver. We’d have you keep your budding heart From taint of evil thoughts apart, Nor even from the truth depart While life remains to you. Avoid whatever sanctions wrong ; Move carefully life’s course along; Temptations are conceal’d among Some pleasures fair to view. ************ And when Memory returns to occasions like this In the years still allotted to me, I, in fancy, will see my Babe at my knee — My own heart, my fair Ullainee ! From experience always is wisdom acquired; You will then know the false from the true ; Return to these lines —they will encourage at times When the moments seem darkest to you. Life’s summits, like mountains—they sometimes seem bright, While the valleys lie dark in between ; With patience and cheer again the sun will apwear And enmantle the valleys in green. And the daisies will blossom—that never could bear Our luminary’s dazzling ray ; And the hawthorn’s bloom, with sweetest perfume, Will cheer up life’s valleys in May. Warrington, Fla.. May 21, 1911. Coincidence. Tuesday morning George A. Kean, of Cumberland, named Mayor George G. Y oung, of same city, as the State’s ideal man for Governor, using the Baltimore Sun as his medium, and Tuesday afternoon one of the “pic tures” the Sun wanted to see was that of — A Governor elected with the good qualities of Crothers, Lee, Gorman and Brown combined— and none of their bad ones. Won the Piano. Mrs. Albert Kenneweg, of Cumber land, won the $350 piano offered for the most artistic re-arrangement of the miniature map of a portion of Cumberland, advertised in Journal. The gold watch, $l5O, was won by George F. Johnson, of Cumberland. The lady’s gold watch $125, was won by Miss Minnie Little, also of Cum berland. Scholastic Promotion. Prof. Edmund Dandridge Mur daugh, former principal of State Nor mal School, this place, later president of the faculty of State University School, Claremore, Oklahoma, has been elected President of the State . Normal School at Durant, same State —an institution employing 35 teachers and averaging an attendance of over 1,000. The promotion is one of con . siderable importance, bringing to the Professor duties of wider and higher range and a material increase of pay. It takes him, too, from a town to a city of 8,000 people—a centre of cul ture and refinement. Prof. Murdaugh had not aspired to the office; it came as an offer to him after unanimous election by the regents. Tit for Tat. > Beginning with Sunday, June 4, the - Harrisonburg (Va.) postoffice will be - closed every Sunday. All mail - pouches arriving during the day will - be kept locked until Monday morning. - Carriers and clerks will have a day of i rest. But the United Commercial ’ Travelers recently registered their l disapproval of the- Sunday closing - movement, hinting that the traveling men would be compelled to cut Har risonburg if the movement were in-" augurated. Irving College Commencement. After a number of entertainments, beginning with the play—“ Breezy Point,” this (Saturday) evening, 3d inst., altogether taking up three days, the 55th Annual Commencement of Irving College, Mechanicsburg, Pa., t will begin Wednesday morning. Of the thirteen young lady gradu -1 ates Miss Alberta Mayer, daughter of : Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mayer, of this place, is second of the list.
