Misfortune of a Former Frost
burger.
In a letter received Dec. 30th, from
Geo. K. Walker, formerly of Frost
burg, later of Salisbury, Pa., and now
a resident of Greensburg, Pa., Mr. ;
Walker has the following to say : I
“I enclose $1.75 for subscription to
The Spirit, which is a very welcome
visitor in our home, as Frostburg is
our old home town.
“On the 22nd of last January I fell
on a slippery sidewalk and dislocated
my hip, also broke it and have been
suffering very much at times ever
since. I was bedfast for four months,
and since then I have been hobbling
around with a cane and crutch. lam
improving very slowly, and I fear I
will be badly crippled the balance of
my life.
“My three daughters are married
and living in Greensburg, and our son
Charlie is our only support. He lives
with us.

A FINE AFFAIR.
Motmtaiti City Cafe the Scene of
a Happy Gathering.
East Thursday night was a gala oc
casion at the Mountain City Cafe, one
of Frostburg’s most up-to-date eating
houses, conducted at No. 147 E. Main
street, by genial Dan. Powell, the
famous cook and all-around good fel
low, who is as fat and jovial as a
Philadelphia pie woman, and the rep
utation of whose place is known far
and wide for good eating, good stories
and general affability. In fact every
body likes Dan. Powell, and they cer
tainly like the way eatables are served
at his place. Dan. is not only a fine
cook himself, but his genial assistant,
“Louie,” is also an artist in the culi
nary line, and what those two famous
chefs can’t conjure up to tickle the
palate, is not conjurable.
Mr. Powell recently enlarged his
place by adding a fine kitchen and
several private dining rooms, which
are finished in a most artistic manner,
and last Thursday night he invited
the German Arion Band and about a
hundred other guests to his place and
served free one of the most elaborate
menus that ever traveled down the
“red lanes” of Frostburg epicures.
It was truly a rare feast of music
and much good eating, consisting of
such articles as roast pork, turkey, j
cranberry sauce, potato salad, celery, |
Roquefort cheese, numerous side
dishes, coffee, tea, cocoa, and what
not ? Olin Gunnett, Philip Gerlach,
George Wright, Daniel Powell, of Gra
hamtown, Isaac Martin, Jr., and
George Gunnett assisted Mr. Powell
in serving. It was a most delightful
affair in every respect.
Margaret Dawsoa Riggs Dead.
The subject of this sketch died at
Rowlesburg, W. Va., on the 14th inst.,
aged 83 years, 11 months and 8 days.
She was married to Robert Riggs
October 30th, 1855. and is survived by
her husband and the following named
children : Wm. E., Thomas K. and J.
Elmer Riggs, and Mrs. Guy Mankins
and Mrs. T. B. Anderson.
Deceased was a daughter of W. R. |
Dawson, whose family was well known
in the vicinity many years ago.
Mrs. Riggs united with the M. P.
Church about 30 years ago and re
mained a faithful member until death.
She was loved by all who knew her,
and her funeral was attended by many
people at Rowlesburg, where it was
held at the M. P. Church. Rev. Mr.
Morris, her pastor, preached a very
impressive sermon, and the music and
floral tributes were beautiful.
Among those from a distance who
attended the funeral were Mrs. Thom
as Powell and daughter Nellie, of
Frostburg, J. H. Dawson, of Fair
mont, and numerous others.
4 BOOSTER, not a knocker.
“Hope you all spent a merry Christ
mas. Hove to you all.”
Editor’s Note. —We are indeed sor
ry to hear of Mr. Walker’s misfortune,
and if wishing and hoping will do any
good, he will soon be as good as new.
Mr. Walker is a man we have a very
high regard for and we often think of
him with gratitude. He conducted a
store at Salisbury at the time our
father lost his life in the mines when
the writer was a boy. Hosing father
was a hard blow to the family, and
very hard times followed his death.
But it mattered not whether our moth
er had money or not, our credit was
always good at any store, and Mr.
Walker’s store was our favorite trad
ing place. He was helpful to us when
we needed help, and we have never
forgotten his kindness and confidence.
And Mr. Walker always got his mon
ey, too, and his trust was never be
trayed by any member of our family.
