Items from Accident.

The fact that the Board of County
Commissioners have advertised for
proposals for erecting the county
buildings seem to excite no comment
whatever.
The corner grocery statesmen are
left without an occupation. The
Presidential question settled and the
county buildings going up, has crea-
ted death of topics. Like Micaw-
Der, we are waiting flor something
to turn up"
John Gnagey's new chickens are
coming to the front. Brown Leg
horns are likely to be the rage. Mr..
John Richter purchased one half
dozen eggs last spring, the net re-
suit is plenty eggs since Christmas.
The six eggs purchased producing
six chickens, four pulletS and two
males, one of which sold for what
the eggs cost. These Johns appreci-
ate good thing when they see it.

three Berkshire pigs that are hard to

Plenty snow in the lanes yet, and
mud where no snow.

THERE is a growing disposition
among the miners to abandon min
ing for the surer, more pleasant and
healthy avocations of agriculture.
This disposition has been fostered by
several considerations - the uncer-
tainty of labor here and of the issues
of wages disputes. These condi-
tions have been brought about by the
competition of superintendent work
ers and the comparative indepen-
dence of the corporations. Hence,
any movement tending to diminu-
ton of laboring force will most
probably benefit those who stay as
we'll as those who go. For the latter
no,o is the time to buy; in sections
inviting emigration, lands, improved
and unimproved, are low; homes
already built up and supplied with
the accessories of comfortable living,
can be secured cheaply and on easy
terms. With the peaceful settle
ment of the Presidential question,
all departments of trade must revive;
and then enhancement of property
values must ensue. To buy now is
to buy cheaper than you can twelve
months hence; TO buy now is to gain
also the benefit of the inevitable APP
probation of properties in all desira-
bic agricultural misunderstanding
Journal.
Come to Garrett county; you can
buy improved or unimproved lands
for mere trifie.
