number of newspapers of Pennsylva-

Mr.. w. Hickman, who is to superin-

into Oakland for the West Virginia Nat
ural Gas Company, has shipped his
household goods to Oakland and viii oc-
cupy the Stanton house on Fourth
street. Mr.. Hickman, who was in town

laborers the line cannot possibly be
finished to this point before early in the
spring, hence Oakland to keep warm,
must burn coal another winter.
Mrs John White, who resides in the
Hamill homestead on Second street, has
raised some most exquisite fall roses of
nearly every color and shade imagin-

OF these flowers, both Of which We're on
the same stem. The popularity was
that one Of the flowers was pure white
with the exception of one petal which
was crimson, while the other was Grim
son in its entirety with the exception OF
one petal, which was white. The flow
ers were exhibited at Sturgiss' Phar-
macy and attracted considerable atten-
ton.

Messrs. James L. Stanton and Gideon
J. Gnagey, both Of Grantsville, were in
Oakland last Friday and Saturday on
business. While here these two gentle
men called at The Republican Office and
discussed at some length the great bene-
fits that Garrett county generally and
Grantsville particularly would derive
should the old National Road be re-
stored under the bill introduced at the
last session Of Congress by Col. George
A. Pearre, Of this District. Col. Pearre
has shown his earnestness in this mat
ter and the people of Garrett county
will back him to the limit.
We still have one or two men in this
community who stand around on the
street corners and from morning until
| night complain about the town, THEN
neighbors, their taxes and the weather.
Such men are mighty common clay and
it is fortunate we have so few Of them.
Such men are Of no use to the town,
their families or their God. They seem
to live but no one can tell how. Like
mosquitoes and flies, they are not fata,
but disagreeable to have about. 1t is
not necessary to publish the names Of
the two or three who infest this com
munity for you all know them.
