Mysterious Oliver Farm Mystery Across Talbot County
A long concealed tale centers on Mr. Oliver who vanished from a fortified English estate near St. Michael's across the river. The house remains undisturbed with supper set and boots on the floor, tenants in charge, and no claimant to the property. Rumors say he still lives in Virginia and watches events at his farm. The piece also comments on women's overwork and promotes Dr. Pierce's Pellets as a remedy, followed by a note about the Lambert coal mine in Belgium and a call to obtain Foley's Honey and Tar for a coughing congregant.
