GARRETT COUNTY LAND
Near Grantsville Sold at SIPS per Acre
at'Public Auction Last Friday.

Probably the highest price ever rea IL
ed for Garrett county farming land sold
at public auction, was on last Friday
morning at Grantsville when two par
GELS of land, the one containing 404
acres and the other containing 81 acres,
lying contiguous to each other, were
solded at public auction under decree
of the Circuit Court for Garrett county
by Mr. William S. Yoder, trustee, the
purchaser being Mr. Urias D. Yoder,
of near Grantsville.
The price paid by Mr.. Yoder for the
two parcels of forty-four acres was
s., 500, or $125 per acre.
The improvements on this land are
of an ordinary kind consisting of a
dwelling, small barn and some small
outbuilding.
Years of investigation by noted sur
geons for a perfect anesthetic, which
would have no detrimental effect on the
heart or other vital organs of the pa
tient, apparently have been at last re-
warded. Electricity has come to the
relief of the surgeons, and Investigations
going on here and abroad, which have
just been made public, show that cleo
tricity is for superior to any of the
drugs now used to produce anasthesia.
This discovery, if confirmed by futune
Investigations, and there seems to be
no reason that it will not be, is one of
the greatest boons to humanity of mod
ern times 1t will means a revolution
of modern methods of surgery.
Mr.. Charles Liller has on exhibition
in the Second street window of his bar
herring establishment two very hand
somely mounted wildcats, male and
female. The animals were trapped by
James Grimes, of near Aurora and
mounted by him, showing excellent
workmanship, and from judges of the
cat tribe the word is given that the
PboltlOilo VI liIt t1iliilidiS do well dS WCil
as the wicked look of the male are true
to nature. The cats are larger than
one would judge them to be, especially
the male which stands about eighteen
inches high.
