FROSTBURG, MD. - - MAY 18, 1912
Do You Kuow
That Frostburg- is one of the best
towns in the State?
That its three Banks have deposits
of nearly $2,000,000?
That two magnificent bank build
ings have been erected at a cost of
$90,000?
That capital has shown its confi
dence in the city by large building
operations during the past year?
That the various industries in this
section distribute over $300,000 each
month?
That the prospects for future
growth and development could not be
brighter?
That the new railroad will be an
important factor in the growth of our
city?
And last, but not least in importance,
That on Saturday, May 25th, you
will have an opportunity to purchase
a lot at your own price, thereby laying
the foundation for a HOME?
All Go.
An important meeting of the Home-
Coming Committees will be held in
the Council Chamber next Monday
evening, 20th inst., and the chairmen
are anxious to have as many members
attend as can possibly do so. Each
should go, therefore, and take along
at least one good suggestion for the
profit of the enterprise.
Advance Report.
John H. Donahue retired from the
office of State Mine Inspector on the
4th inst., and will be able to make re
port of operations under his oversight
to and inclusive of the last day of
April.
To December 31, 1911, he favors the
Journau with a synopsis showing that
the production of coal to that date,
while not specially notable, indicates
a fairly prosperous year for all en
gaged.
The total tonnage of coal produced
from all shipping and local mines was
4,166,736 tons, of which 3,442,117 tons
was mined in Allegany, and 724,619
tons in Garrett county, altogether an
average of 731 tons for each employee.
The number of men employed was
4,820 in Allegany and 884 in Garrett
county—aggregate 5,704 in the State.
During the official year ending
April 30, 1912, there were 152 acci
dents—l 4 fatal, 138 non-fatal —a de
crease of 3 fatal, and an increase of 12
non-fatal.
During the calendar year ending
December 31, 1911, there were 15 fatal
accidents—a decrease also of 3 under
the number for 1910, with 227,782 tons
for each life lost, one for each 380
miners employed.
The production for year ending De
cember 31, 1911, shows a decrease of
tons 549,637 from that of 1910 in the
State.
Assawlt.
William C. Noel, on his way home
from his office Tuesday evening, about
o’clock, was assaulted in front of
the First National Bank by Harry
Atkinson and another man, name not
given out. Mr. Noel, it is said, had
insulted Atkinson earlier in the even
ing by telling him h,e could not do
business with a man while the latter
was intoxicated. This, however, he
had forgotten until reminded by At
kinson’s.strenuous assault. Mr. Noel
is manager of The Sun Mercantile
Agency, real-estate dealer, general
all-round good fellow, owning very
many good friends who sympathise
with him. He was knocked down,
kicked and generally maltreated, but
is recovering at his home on Orman
street.
“Wild Man.”
John Rorgic, Austrian immigrant
to Allegany Grove and Narrows
Park, via South Carolina, was arrested
Tuesday by Sheriff Corfield for “wild
ness.” He would suddenly rush into
houses, scare women and children,
and then leave for the woods. Re
ported that he couldn’t get work;
hence, his resort to the roads, fields
and woods.
The Sick.
Mrs. Karl Schlosstein, of this place, '
is convalescent from an operation for
appendicitis at Western Maryland
Hospital a short while ago.
Miss Mary J. Harris, Center and
Loo streets, is reported ill.
Miss Katharine Hager, of this place,
underwent an operation this week for ,
appendicitis in Western Maryland :
Hospital.
John F. Brady, of Maple street, :
was out on crutches Wednesday—first
time in three months. His left leg is :
affected by blood poison.
Help the Ladies.
Many women, touched by the heroic ;
sacrifice of men on the Titanic to save ■
the lives of women and children, are •
leading in a movement to raise a fund ,
for the erection of a shaft in Wash- ;
ington —not only to commemorate j
their appreciation of those who thus ]
gave up their lives, but as “a constant j
reminder to the people’s representa- .
tives to protect by legislation all who ,
have to entrust their lives to steam- .
ship companies.”
Read the article elsewhere printed
entitled “Appeals for Titanic Shaft,”
and, if approving the gracious enter
prise, heed the direction contained in
the last paragraph.
Sport.
Two young men of Eckhart—Messrs.
Herman Filsinger and Robert Strach
am, are in training for a mile foot
race—from J. J. Byrnes’ store to
Clarysville. When the contest will
“come off” has not been determined,
but it cannot be far hence, as each
is anxious to enjoy . the glory of -out
running the other. John H. Kidwell
is “coaching” Filsinger, while Strach
am enjoys the tuition of Robert White.
The mile is down-hill, so that each
will impartially enjoy the favor of the
law of gravitation. It seems to be un
derstood, confidentially, that each ex
pects to make the run in less than 7-}&
minutes. The winner will get $lO and
a side-wager of $25, or %17% each in
event of a tie.
THIS IS CERTAIN.
The Proof That Frostburg Read
ers Cannot Deny.
What could furnish stronger evi
dence of the efficiency of any remedy 1
than the test of time? Thousands of
people testify that Doan’s Kidney
Pills cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of the remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had derived
from the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills.
They now confirm their testimonials.
They say time has completed the test.
Mrs. B. T. Schofield, 96 W. Main
street, Frostburg, Md., says: “For
many years I suffered from pains
through my back and my limbs were
so stiff and sore that I could hardly
get around. The kidney secretions
were in bad shape and I rested poorly
at night. When in that miserable
condition, I procured a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills and they helped me at
once. I have since told several other
people about this effective kidney
medicine.” (Statement given No
vember 16, 1907.)
A EATER STATEMENT.
Mrs. Schofield was interviewed by
our representative on May 17, 1911,
and she said: “I am pleased to verify
the public statement I gave in 1907,
recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills.
They certainly did good work in my
case.”

cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

States.
Remember the name —Doan’s —and
take no other.
Business Movements.
Eugenio Bianchini, recently ap
pointed Sales Manager for the Con
solidation Coal Company in Italy, with
headquarters at Genoa, spent several
days in the region with Manager
Hesse familiarizing himself with the
manner in which the coal is handled
in and at the mines. Mr. Bianchini is
a polished, cultured gentleman, with a
wide experience, being familiar with
the business conditions of Europe,
Asia and South American countries.
After visiting the Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Kentucky Divis
ions he will return to Italy.
A Word to the Fire Department.
Fred. Wade wants the fire whistle
established on the summit of the new
ice-plant of the Mayer Brothers.
He says the whistle is absolutely
indispensable; that from the location
named it can be heard all over town
in event of fire, and that “the Mayers
are just the fellows who will take care
of and keep it in tune.”
Coming Events.
The Odd Fellows of Southern Penn
sylvania, Maryland, the Virginias and
District of Columbia, are projecting a
grand reunion in Pen Mar Park, this
State, Thursday, August Bth, next.
Much interest and enthusiasm have
already been manifested and it will be
a most enjoyable re-union. The two
lodges in Frostburg will most probably
be largely represented, as at that time
trains will be running on the Western
Maryland Railroad directly through.
George Burdock, of Burdockburg,
Garrett county, was in town a few
days ago and reported that he had
learned from credible sources that the
proposed electric railway from Frost
burg to Meyersdale, Pa., via Burdock
burg, is a sure thing.
Our Partnership In Town
Business.
A village, a town, a city is a part
nership. All of us here in this place
are in business together. We have
our own individual ownership of prop
erty, but our prosperity as a whole is
very closely bound up with each other.
If you have a house to rent, goods
to sell, labor to sell, your success in
getting a good price for such services
depends wholly on the prosperity of
your neighbors. If they are doing a
good business, they will pay you good
prices, and as times go the prices paid
you will tend to increase from year to
year.
On the other hand, if your neighbors
are not prosperous, they will haggle
over the last cent for your house, your
goods, your labor, and the prices for
these services will tend to fall.
When you buy goods away from
home, you work to reduce the prosper
ity of your neighbors, making them
both less able and less willing to do
anything to advance your prosperity.
When you buy goods at home you in
crease the prosperity of your neigh
bors, and they become better able to
advance your interests, and entertain
a kindly feeling towards you that
makes them want to do so.
It would be interesting to trace in
detail sometimes the actual result of
buying goods at home that you pre
viously bought somewhere outside.
Suppose your wife orders a $25 bill of
clothing at A’s dry goods store, in
stead of buying it on some trip to
another city. The merchant of course
has to send a large portion of that $25
out of town to pay the jobber for the
goods. But a large share of the
expenses of any business is in labor,
rent, taxes, etc., spent at home. It
would not surprise us if $lO of that $25
stuck right at home. In some lines
more than that would do so.
This portion that remains at home
spreads out in a circle of usefulness.
In this case it would pay the wages of
a clerk for a week, enable the clerk
to pay house rent for two or three
weeks, permit the landlord to pay the
carpenter to put his property in better
repair, allow the carpenter to pay the
interest on his 'mortgage at the bank,
help the bank to lend money to a
mechanic to build a new house, and
so on. Think it over! —Salisbury (Pa.)

The Blag nf Bead} Cash!
Promptness in the payment of small debts, as
well as large ones, will contribute at all seasons
to the comfort of everybody, but more especially
now, in the beginning of the year, when there are
few who do not have something to pay or to re
ceive.
“Money Makes the Mare Go”
is an old proverb, originating very likely on the
turf. It also makes business go in all its depart
ments. Ready cash is the one essential, and when
it circulates freely, from hand to hand, in the dis
charge of obligations is as much of a blessing as
the gentle dew, which descends alike upon the
just and the unjust. Therefore —
“Cash Up”
and help to make each other happy. Blessed are
those who pay promptly, because they in their
turn shall be paid.
