Mountain Lake Park.

Several of our families stayed for
the last meeting, but as soon as it
was over they began to leave; so
that up this time there are but three
families of our summer residents left.
The weather continues very wet
and cold.
There was small fire at Grace cot
tage last week. While the family
were down stairs doing up their
evening work, the fire, which had
been kindled in the bed room, had
gotten out in some way. and had
gotten under good headway in the
room before it was discovered.
There are few improvements be-
ing made. Mr.. Conner is having his

SMAntOn.

In the Democrat of Sept. 2Sth, we see it as
serted that while 30 years ago under Demo-
cratic supremacy the farmers of the county
owned 20 per cent. of the wealth of the coun-
try, now they own less than % per cent, &c
We are told to "prove all things and to hold
fast that which is good" Now the showing
by the Democrat looks bad for the farmer, but
what are the facts. From official sources we
learn that while the population of the United
States from 1860 to 1880, the date of the last
census, increased 60 per cent, the value ofthe
farms increased 2l2 per cent. This does not
include live stock, grain nor farming imple-
ments, but simply the value of the farms.
During the same period the exports of wheat
increased 1903 per cent. Yes, the farmers
have a bad time, but is it not as good as when
oats sold in our county for 1919 to Is. cents
per buShel is it not as good as when COW
and calf could be bought for $3.50, while keg
of nails cost $40. While the farmer may not
now own as great a per centage of wealth as
formerly, does that argue that as class they
are in more INDECENT circumstances? Not at
all. But while the value of the farms has in
creased 2l2 per cent, other branches OF indus
try have been developed. Railroads, foun-
dries, factories, towns and villlgeS have
sprung up from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The wealth ofth country has developed as
never in its history prior to 1860, and the
farmer to day has home mark ct which con-
sumes 90 per cent. of all he produces, while
only per cent. has to be or is sold to foreign
countries. The American farmer to-day has
the best market In the world.
Mrs. Dawson, of Rowlesburg, w. Va, was
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. A. Paugh, of North

ACCIDENT, Nd, Oct. 8. 1888.

EDITOR RREPUBLCAN:-P Please per-
init me space to say good word for
the Oakland Cornet Band, which has
been with us twice the past week.
Talk is said to be cheap, but we
know and feel that we but feebly
voice the sentiments of this whole
community when we say that their
visit marks an epoch in the history
Of Accident. Music of that character
we hear so seldom that we doubly
appreciated their visit and excellent
music. We are sure nothing added
so much to the interest of the politi-
cal meetings held here as the music.
The campaign of 1888 has demon
strated the drawing power of the
Band. Our citizens are unanimous
I ffiFvdise of the conduct of the mem
bers, as we'll as warm in cOmmenda-
ton of the excellent music, and all
join heartily in wishing health, hap
pines and prosperity to every men,

rett county.
The object of the bill of complaint in this
case is to procure decree for the sale of GER
tain lands therein described and make dis
tribution of the proceeds among the parties
to said cause.
The bill alleges that the complainant is
seized and possessed of n two-thirdS interest
in a tract Of land known as Recourse" con-
tanning ll6 acres, situated in Garrett county,
Maryland, which is valuable on account of
its minerals and timber. That the other one
third interest is owned or claimed by Sarah
Witt, wife of Josiah Witt, and Martha f.
Witt, wife of Michael Witt, in SeyeraIty all
of whom are non residents of the State of
Maryland. That said lands are incapable of
advantageous partition among said owners;
but that it would be to their advantage to
have the same sold under a decree Of this
Court, the proceeds of such sale divided
among the owners according to their respec-
tive interests. And that said Catherine Witt
have owned one-half of said third, and on the
first day ofJanuary, 1874 executed a mortgage
upon the same to said Martha f. Witt, for
S5057l, which is recorded among the land rec
ordS of Allegany county, Md, and unreleas-
ed so far as the records show.
1t is thereupOn this 24th day of September,
eighteen hundred and eighty eight, adjudged
and ordered by the Circuit Court for Garrett
county as Court of Equity, that the COM

gether with the object and substance of this
bill to be inserted in some newspaper printed
in Oakland, Md, once week for four success

next, giving EOtice to the defendants in said
bill, and warning them to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor on or before
the 9th day of January next, to show cause,

Instructing the Reporter.

Unhappy is the lot of a daily news
paper chief who has never been a repor.
ter. The service calls for officers that
have come up from the ranks. Other
wise they will fail to gauge accurately
the relations of men and events to each
other, and will become a prey to cir
cumstances. i have known the pub
Usher of on influential journal to in
struct a reporter to take out his note
book and pencil as a preliminary step
whenever he should be sent to interview
a person. As well tell a detective to
YEA a badge on his breast, or q
patroleman to walk the street with a
cooked revolver i'll his right hand.
Many people would be more afraid of a
reporter who should suddenly draw"
a note book on them than they would
of either policeman or detective. or
course, the note book must be used for
public speeches and deliberations, and,
also, like the revolver In dire emergen.
cies, but the reporter who cannot re-
member a colum and half of ordinary
conversation UNLESS it concerns techni-
csl matters of which he had no prev1-
Gus knowledge) until he has time to
turn it into ineligible ''copy," should
seek bread and fame in some new EN-.
ployment,

Daisies on the Farm.

She painted them on canvas
With 4 rapt, artistic air:
She wore them in her bodice
And in her raven hair.
She thought farm kfe idyllic,
And said Its greatest charm
Was lent 1t by the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
ado you not love the daisies?
To the farmers son she saith:
But all the praise he uttered
Was underneath his breath.
1t sounded energetic,
But she felt q vague alarm
That he did not love the daisies
The daisies on the farm.
She read to him a poem,
A pastoral complete;
He seemed unsympathetic,
Though her voice was very sweet,
With some repressed emotion
His face grew dark and warm,
For Its burden was the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
Soon the charming summer boarder
To her city home returned;
For a soul of higher longing
Her aesthetic nature yearned.
And the farmers son, undaunted,
With his scythe upon his arm,
Went to battle with the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
