SALISBURY’S
BIG CELEBRATION
If numbers in respect to human Le-
{ings is the criterion, then Salisbury
‘made a record on July 4th at -her
great picnic for it estimated - that
there were from five to six thousand
persons present. The day which put
on a frown during the forenoon with
: promise of rain turned out to be quite
delightful in the afternoon. Three
street cars were kept on the move be-.
tween Meyersdale and Salisbury all
day and cver 7700 fares were collect-
ed. Many came by autos and it is sup-
posed there was about 25p machines
there at one time. Four bands dis-
coursed music at intervals, namely,
Frostburg, Garrett, Meyersdale and
Boynton. :
ACCIDENTALLY
Tragic Result at Windber of
Leaving Loaded Shotgun where

While playing policeman at his
home in Windber on Monday evening,
Roy Morgan, the: 12-year old son of
Wm. G. Morgan. was instantly killed
by the accidental discharge of a shot
gun which had been left standing be--
hind a door. *While playing the gun
had been moved“and the shot struck

which E. C. Kyle is president, H. M
Cook, sécretary and C, Q. Griffith,
treasurer, are to be congratulated on
‘the success’ of this work. The receipts
have passed the expenses by perhaps
$100, which is to be placed with the
$157.50 net amount left from last
year’s Chautauqua, to be conserved
for a fund which may help out some
shortage in an off year.
Fach of the entertainments and all
of the lectures were fine and were
heartily endorsed by all who were
fortunate enofi#h to hear them.
The lecture on “Babies and Folks”
delivered by Robert P. Shepherd,
while it might be suggestive of humor
and fun contained something far bet-
ter than merriment, for the speaker
had a message on community interest
that a town, city or county had much
in common. Instead of endeavoring to
secure big factories for your towns,
try to do all of your buying and sell-
ing in your own community. He scor-
"ed the mail order business and made
it out that the person who would sell
' country produce to the town-merchant
pocket the money and then send in
his order for his needs to a mail or-
der house was a pretty mean person,
indeed. There is encugh money earn.
od in Somerset scounty to produce
wonderful results. The fact is people
are too selfish and forget their obliga-
. tion to the community as a whole,
a family of
certain denomination
does not mean, if he rdquires it, that
all the other church people. should
not do what they can to help him.
The lecture on ‘“Marriage and Di-
vorce” by Prof. Gus W. Dyer, of Van-
derbilt University, was pronounced
by some as the best in the course.
The cause of divorce he ascribed to
our industrial conditions. Young mar-
ried couples can’t keep house be-
cause it costs too much and then a
boarding house is resorted to with
the wife nothing to do. Work for her
would keep her straight. There is too
much idleness about the city. A child
of five in the country on the farm is
¢o’'{ 1 'ain‘ng, but in the city a nui-
sence. Work for all classes is what is
need.
The lecture on
ond cleared up many of the wrong
~-neeptions people in general have
concerning this modern factor in life.
He performed experiments that were
quite marvelous.
The musical parts of the session
were very entertaining and all that
one could wish.
On Monday forenoon at 10 o’clock a
meeting was held in the basement of
the Citizens bank by those interested
in the continuance of the Chautauqua
and it was decided to sign up for
anc her year with the Lincoln Chaa-
tauqua.
