Who Remembers II?

One day last week while Mayor
Charles Crawford and a force of
hands were engaged in excavating
the large spring On W. L. Whito's
land, above the White Grove
where the picnic and the soldiers
reunion will be held, preparatory
to enlarging the spring and laying
pipes from it to the picnic grounds,
an old dam or "water walf' was
uncovered at a considerable DIS
tance from the top of the ground.
The wall extended clear across the
hollow, being about 18 or 20 feet
wide and s or 10 feet deep. The
stones were cut to fit and were
placed together IN very workman
like manner. Mr.. Crawford pro-
nounced it an exceedingly good
piece of stone work. AS soon as
the discovery was made inquiries

Communicated.

To the Editor of the Republican.
The nomination of Hon. LLOYD
Lowndes for governor gives entire
satisfaction to the Republicans of
this district. He will receive the
entire Republican vote and also of
those Democrats who are tired of
the dictation of Boss German. Our
people want reassessment of prop
ertY, one that will assess, and know
that it will come from the Republi-
cans if we succeed in electlng a
majority of the legislature, of which
we think there is no doubt. Let
every Republican register and work
hard for the success of the ticket.
The election of Mr.. Lowndes means
much for the people of Maryland
and especially to the people of Gar
rett county-assessment, election of
school commissioners, home rule,
redistribution of the school fund,
the abolition of useless offices,
longer term of school, free school
books and many other reforms.
Let every Republican do his whole
duty, and we Will be aided by many
honest Democrats who love their
State and honest government more
than the success of A. P. German,
for the election of Hurst means the
further dictation of German and
Raisin.
The time is drawing nigh when
the Republicans OF the Fourth Ju-
dicial district will be called upon to
nominate a candidate for Judge.
We should be careful to nominate a.
candidate who can poll the vote of
the Republicans and many of the
Democrats. After looking care
fully oyer the ground We think the
strongest man to nominate is the
Hon. d. W. Sloan, of Allegany
county. He is a man eminently
fitted for the Office. For number
of years he has performed the
duties of States Attorney of Ale
gany county. With signal ability
those duties have been performed,
and the law enforced without re-
gard to fear or favor, a hard stu
dent, well read in the law; a close
observer of men; man of integrity;
safe man; one if elected Judge
would enforce the law with ability
and would be a Judge of whom
Western Maryland might well be
proud. Give us Dayid W. Sloan
for our candidate for judge, and we
can elect him by good majority,
and the people generally will be
pleased by the choice.

fortune to receive a small bottle of

Garrett,s Eastern Boundary.


in the Baltimore Sun on last Thurs
day relative to the disputed bounda
ry line between this and Allegany
counties:
"The taxpayers in Garrett coun-
ty are very much concerned about
the passage of law by the Legisla-
ture this winter authorizing the
county commissioners to have the
boundary line between Allegany
and Garrett counties plainly marked
from the mouth of Savage river to
the summit of Savage mountaiif;'
where it is crossed by Mason and
Dixon's Line This line of Garrett
county passes the western edge of
the Georges creek coal region,
where land, underlaid with the
Big Vein, sells for upward of two
thousand dollars an acre. 1t is es :
timated that upward of two millions
of dollars worth of coal lands lying
along this line in Garrett county
are not assessed owing to the dis
pute growing out of the bungling
manner IN which this line was said
to have been run. The trouble
originated in this way: The pro-
jectors of the new county, which
was formed in 1872, went along
with the surveyor, who started
from the mouth of Savage river and
ran north 260 east to Mason and
Dixon S Line, but missed 'the sum-
NIT of Savage mountain, where it is
crossed by the Mason ard Dixon S
Line the point called for in the
act authorizing the division of Allie
gany county, by over three-quarters
of a mile. The surveyor then
measured the distance east to said
summit, intending to correct his
bearing back to the mouth of Say
age river, but when the politicians
who had the matter in charge found
that the corrected line would run
in sight OF Frostburg and cut big
slice out of the Georges creek coal
region they became alarmed because
the citizens of this section were so
bitterly opposed to the division of
Allegany county they might vote it
down.
"Hence, after consultation, the
politicians ordered the surveyor not
to trace the correct line on the
ground, but to plat it out and
make his report on the plat for
the avowed purpose of deceiving
the voters in the belt with the idea
that the first experimental but er-
roneous line was the true one. The
trick worked; the report was made;
the vote taken resulting in very
small majority for the division, and
most of the land in this disputed
territory remains untaxed to this
day.
"ln view of this and other vital
questions affecting the interests of
the overtaxed people of Garrett
county they are urging the Repub-
licans to nominate not only such
men for the Legislature as will
pledge themselves to use all honor
able means possible to secure the
passage of such laws as will relieve
them from one-third of the present
rate of taxation. The Democrats
have about conceded that this is an
'off year. for them, hence their
anxiety that the Republicans may
be careful IN selecting suitable men
as their candidates.

A GALL TO THE CRoCUsEs.

The buebird is calling the spring rain is falling,
Awake. little Crocuses: leave your dark bed
And soft winds are blowing, the glad brooks are
flowing,
The willow twigs glisten all yelloS and red,
Oh be not fainthe4rted Old Winters departed;
stay not in your prison of dreary brown mould,
Not 1ake Of snow fingers; stretch out your green
fingers
Then lift up your faces Of purple and gold.
The robins notes ringing the frogs, too are sing
ing
Their low pleasant music down by the old mill;
The winds are all bringing from buds that are
springing,
Fresh odors from meadow and waysde and hill
Oh come from your hidins, nor wait for more
chiding:
Lo' now the suns shining there's nothing to
fear,
Come forth It's your dnty Praise GOD with your
beauty
The cod who gives ~prinGtine and all the round

We are getting 50 far away from old
ideas in present ways that it is ike-work
ing upon new foundation In dairying
the old rule was cows fresh in the spring
and the dairy work limited to the summer
months But the silo has been largely
instrumental in changing this. and now
that it is possible to carry the summer store
almost to summer again the tendency is
toward winter dairyine, to having the COWS
fresh in September and the dairy work to
do when there Is most leisure time. and
the milk and butter for the market when
it will bring the best price and can be
handled with least loss and trouble
