Mrs. Luther C. Nine. who resides
south Of Oakland, and who was taken
to the Western Maryland Hospital at
| Cumberland about two weeks ago by
her physician, DR.. Henry w. McCom-
as, to undergo very serious surgical
operation,is, her many friends will be
glad to know, doing very nicely, con-
sidering the precarious condition of
the patient before the operation.
Garrett county has thoroughly en-
Joyed CD about six weeks of solid
winter weather with the mercury GO
ing as low as ten or twelve below zero
and seldom above the freezing point.
Even with all this, however, those
who have been compelled to expose
themselves to the elements have been
thus enabled to get much work accom-
pllshed nthe way of hauling grain,
hay, coal, etc.
The profteer took blood money dur
ing the worlds greatest tragedy. He
eXacted usury from the toiIer at home
and the fighting man at the front. He
drew dividends cut Of the tears and
walls OF broken-hearted women and
grlef-stricken children. He minted his
gold out of agony, starvation, heart
aches. He stands today the Judas of
the war, the most despised man of the
world.
MIR. and Mrs. Clarence Joseph Rath-
bun issued cards yesterday announc-
ing the marriage of their daughter
Emma Jane, to Mr.. William Donald !
son, Ryan, the ceremony having taken |
place the IA, inst, much to the surprise
OF their friends. The bride is one OF |
the Parks best known young girls and
the groom is also we'll and favorablv |
known by many in and about the
Park, where he is employed bv the |
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany as fireman.
Mr.. James w. Walter. of Deer

the conduct of the farm implement
and machinery business. his two sons.
the new firm now being known as J.
W. Walter & Sons, which will con-
tlnue the business established bv the
senior member of the firm and add to
the lines already carried other and a
larger variety of goods. Mr.. ]. W.
Walter was in Oakland on Tuesday
when he contracted with The Republi-
can for large amount of advertising
space to be used in setting forth the
advantages of a traction operated
farm, the line of tractors being car
ried by the new firm is the we'll and
favorably known Case.
The local coal mines. notably that
owned and operated by Mr.. John Kis-
ner west OF town, and the Sloan mine
at Deep Creek bridge, are being heav-
lily drawn upon at this time to keep up
with the demand of local consumers.
Until the present seasonable weather
came along, making it possible to haul
large loads upon sleds, these mines
were barely able to meet the demands.
but now since a team Of two horses is
able to draw two or more tons at
load there is no surplus ccal to be
found and the result teamsters very
often have to wait at the opening for
several hours before they can secure

A letter received from DR.. Logan
Carr to the editor of The Republican

lican and would be glad if you will
send it to US. trust that all is going
fine with everybody in your section
