The Garrett county Extract Works are
turning out a tanning liquid said by com
petent chemists to be the best aItce of its
kind made on this continent. In consequence
the works are unable to supply half the de-

Ii there are any more smart AleckS in the
fire company who want to champion the
calliope, let them join their mindlets with
