a bad sprain, and had she been in good
health Nora would have been able to

truth was that the young wife had worn
her nerves threadbare in attempting
to be housekeeper and bread-winner at
the same time. The ankle recovered
strength. but in the meantime Nora
seemed to lose all her briskness and
good humor. She became nervous and
irritable. her hand shook if she tried to
write. her head ached, she was generally
blue" The pretty furniture was of
no use now, for the parlor was kept
closed. Nora lay on her bed-the bed
that was not yet paid for and

We are aware there are Democrats in
the county who subscribe and pay for
this journal, and we thank them for
it, but the Democrats. like the Re.

To Home Seekers

Garrett County offers the finest and
most complete advantages for coun-
try OR suburban resiuence of any sec
ton of the country. Here are some
of the advantages
l. Every part of it is within six
hours ride of Washington. the Ma
tional Capital and the finest city on
the globe.
2. 1t is elevated from 2000 to 2700
feet above tide water, the topography
being series of hills or plateaus.
which are thoroughly drained by
several rapid streams Of pure water
of considerable volume.
8. The soil varies from a sandy
loan to a limestone. producing gar
6en stuff. cereals and hay.
T. Springs and running streams of
the purest water are abundant. and
some of the former possess medicinal
qualities of the highest order. SpIen-
did drinking water is obtained by
digging or boring to depth of thirty
to sixty feet.
5. Farming lands can be had at
from five to fifty dollars an acre.
Large town lots are sold at from two
to five hundred dollars each, in
number of suburban towns on the
railroad, peopled with cultured citi-
zens.
The foregoing are indisputabIe
facts. THE REPUBLICAN will be
glad to furnish further Information
about our county to those seeking
homes and Investment within its
borders. We invite correspondence
on the subject.
