A Pretty "Rnsinessn story.

A rather pretty little story, which has the
merit of being true, is interviewer with the
history of one of the largest grocery houses
in the city. Its founder, one of Pittsburg's
pioneers, before he went the way of all flesh,
set forth in his viii that at his death the
store should be stocked with a complete as
sortment OF the goods carried by the firm and
that the store and contents should thea be
turned over to the chief clerk. This was
done The clerk whose merits won for him
this substantial recognition continued the
business with unvaryiug success until few
years ago, when he retired. Not, however
before following the example set by his pre-
decessor and employer. The freshly stocked
store was turned over to his chief right-hand
man, and if the latter is true to the custom
of the mouse he will do the same for his success

Irishman who had crawed up on the rear

times with remarks that were not quite in

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.
Q, 1t is elevated from 1000 to 200
feet above tide water. the topography
being a series of hills or plateaus,
which are thoroughly drained by
several rapid streams OF pure water
of considerable volume.
3. The soil varies from a sandy
loan to a limestone, producing gar
6en stuff. cereals and hay.
4. Springs and running streams of
the purest water are abundant, and
some of the former possess medicinal
qualities of the highest order. Splen-
did drinking water is obtained by
digging or boring to a 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 a
number of suburban towns on the
railroad, peopled with cultured citi.
zens.
The foregoing are indisputable
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.
