HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED.
A Mexican War Veteran Visits Sal-
isbury and Writes Things Com-
plimentary to Our Town and
People.
Hon. M. J. Grove, father of Mrs. Geo.
C. Biser, who visited here last week,
was evidently well pleased with his
visit, judging from an account of the
same published in the Frederick (Md.)
Daily News of the 1st inst.
Mr. Grove is one of the few surviv-
ing veterans of the Mexican war, and
although 83 years old, he is still active
in mind and body, a great reader and
thinker, as well as a most entertaining
talker. We are indeed pleased to ku. w
that he formed such a good opinion of
our town, vicinity and people, and we
trust that the gallant and genial old
veteran’s recent visit will not the
last one to our town, and we assure
him that he will ever be welcome with-
in our gates.
Following we reproduce a few of the
things mentioned in Mr. Grove’s ac-
count of his visit here:
A TRIP TO THE ALLEGHANIES,
Thinking that perhaps a short ac-
count of a recent trip to the Alleghany
Mountains may be of interest to some
of your readers, I will give a bird’s-eye
view of some of the salient points to
which my attention was directed, the
objective point being a visit to my
daughter, Mrs. George C. Biser, resid-
ing at Salisbury, a mining town of some
1500 inhabitants on the plateau com-
posing the top of the Alleghany Moun-
tains. ;
Much of the coal in this region is of a
high grade for steaming purposes. The
principal mines that came under my
observation were the Somerset Coal
Company’s mines, the Merchants
mines, the Niver coal and the Meager
coal. In company with my grandson,
I entered one of the Somerset coal
mines about two miles. Such of your
readers as have entered a coal mine
can appreciate the experience of a man
of 83 years of age, sitting on the bottom
of a two ton car, rattled and jolted un-
derground for some four miles through-
out its various chambers.
I was agreeably surprised to note the
fine appearance of many of the dwel-
lings in both Meyersdale and Salisbury,
giving evidence of culture and refine-
ment far more than would be expected
in a mining town. I found a number
| who were even now mining coal, and
had been for twenty years or more, liv-
ing in affluence and comfort {in their
own homes. I found in passing from
Meyersdale to Salisbury, some 7 miles,
a number of well cultivated farms, with
large, well constructed barns of one
hundred or more feet in length, with
luxurious fields of oats in the shock. *
From Salisbury we drove some seven
miles to Grantsville, in Maryland, a
little village of a few hundred inhabi-
tants immediately on the old National
Pike. But, alas! its old glory was de-
parted, when its roadbed was teeming
with covered wagons, transporting mer-
chandise from Baltimore west to the
Ohio River. At the foot of the hill
from Grantsville is Casselman river,
over which is a single arch bridge of
huge proportions. This bridge was
erected in 1818, and a legend exists,
which says that after the construction
of the bridge a crack was discovered in
the top of the arch extending through
its entire distance, and that it was
freely prophesied that when the tim-
bers were removed from the arch, the
bridge would fall. This so preyed up-
on the contractor’s mind that he re-
moved the timbers after nightfall, and
then committed suicide. The bridge
still stands, as so many other stone
bridges now stand along that {great
highway, as monuments to the skill,
honesty and integrity of their contract-
ors.
Near the old bridge the Jennings
Bros. have a large saw mill, and have
a private railroad 19 miles in length to
connect with the Salisbury branch rail-
road, over which large quantities of
timber are conveyed to market. In go-
ing to Grantsville we passed over the
pipe line conveying tho coal oil from
the wells to the eastern cities.
Between Salisbury and Grantsville
we found many nicely cultivated farms,
mostly cultivated by a sect called
Amish.
They are now constructing an elec-
tric road from Meyersdale to Salisbury,
and when completed it will be a most
attractive place to visit, the electric
railroad giving easy access to many
points of interest.
The trip was a most enjoyable one,
as the citizens of Salisbury were most
hospitable, and seemed to vie with each
other in making our visit among them
as pleasant as possible.

VETERANS’ ANNUAL PICNIC.
Addresses, Five-Minute Campfire
Speeches, Patriotic Songs, Foot
Races, Sons of Veterans’
Drill, Baseball, ete.
The undersigned committee, appoint-
ed by the Veterans’ Association of Som-
erset County to arrange for a reunion
and basket picnie, to include all the
Grand Army Posts, likewise all other
Veterans and Sons of Veterans in the
counties of Somerset, Cambria, Bed-
ford, Blair, Fayette and Westmoreland,
which will be held in Edgewood Grove,
Somerset, Pa., on Wednesday, Septem-
ber 12th, 19068, respectfully announces
that arrangements have been made
with the railroad officials for special
rates, which will be published by the
railroad companies through posters, in
due time. The Berlin Band and Som-
erset Drum Corps will furnish music
for the occasion, and a good time for
everybody in attendance is anticipated.
Edgewood Grove is located near the
town of Somerset, is fitted with all
necessary conveniences, and with its
facilities for rest, pleasure, comfort and
amusements, together with shelter for
10,000 people, more or less, and with
hitching rails, feeding and watering
facilities for 1,000 horses, is an ideal
place to spend a day, and the Boys of -
’81 and ’65 will be disappointed if their
friends in this and adjoining counties
don’t swell the crowd to the number
above named.
The Comrades of your Post, together
with all Veterans of the Civil and
Spanish-American Wars, Sons of Vet-
erans, and their families are most cor-
dially invited to be present.
Those not wishing to be burdened by
bringing lunch with them are informed
that meals can be secured at the lunch
stand on the ground, or at hotels or
restaurants in the city, at reasonable
rates.
Will you kindly advise the Chairman
or Secretary of the Committee, at an
early date, of your acceptance, and
state as nearly as you can just how
many may be expected from your eec-
tion? In addition to the foregoing in-
vitation, let it be understood that the.
general public is also invited, to the
end that this may be the banner day,
covering a perion of 41 years—or since
the close of the Civil War. Remember
that all B. & O. trains will stop at the
entrance to the grove.
The Committee has invited the De-
partment Commander, Assistant Ad-
jutant General, and Thomas J. Stew-
art, Past-Commander-in-Chief of the
G. A. R.

THE OLD NATIONAL ROAD.
The old National Road!
of romance
Is called up by the name! and the
shadows advance
From their corners obscure at the back
of the stage,
And evolve into shapes—into scenes of
an age
Whose sweet graces were too quaint.
and homely to last,
And are gone with the roses and rue of
the past!
Let the bard, to the strains of his lyre,
frame on ode
To that Highway of Hope—the old Na-
tional Road!
What a play
From the sweet-smelling Maryland
meadows it crawled,
Through the forest primeval, o’er hills
granite-walled ;
On and up, up and on, till it conquered
the crest ’
Of the mountains, and wound away into
the West.
"Twas the Highway of Hope! and the
pilgrims who trod
It were Lords of the Woodland and Sons
. of the Sod ;
And the Hope of their Hearts was to
win an abode 2
At the end—the far end of the National
Road.
The old National Road!
on—ever on
Toward that Land where Humanity’s
vanguard had gone ;—
Past the spring on the mountain, the
It stretched
rill in the dale— .
By the rut on the hillside, the Inn in
the vale.
And the beings it loved and the people
it knew
Were untutored and primitive, kindly
and true;
And the face of the mid-summer sun
ever glowed
With a smile for the faithful old Na-
tional Road.
From the foot of the mountains still
westward it trailed,
Till the footprints of settlements fal-
tered and—failed ;
Under skies that were blustering, skies
that were bland,
Over turbulent streams that no bridge
had e’er spanned
But the Rainbow of Promise ; and end-
ed its quest
Where the birds and the brooks of
Ohio sang ‘ Rest.”
“Equal chances and favors for alll”
was the code .
Of the open and honest old National
Road.
The old National Road!
and the cold—
There the emigrant’s canvas-topped ve-
hicle rolled ;
"Twas a great Conestoga—its wheels
groaning sore
Of the journey they made and the bur-
den they bore.
Uncomplaining the lank oxen swag-
gered and swung,
Under yoke, at the rides of the tetering
tongue;
And the family cow, poor and patient,
was towed
At the end of a rope—down the Nation-
al Road.
In the heat
