a "Trip 10 the Oil Regions

Being happily possessed of a
somewhat speculative turn Of mind,
and having no particular concern
to tie me at home, I resolved on a
weeks visit to the romantic wilds
Of Hooking and Vintoh counties,
and if possible satisfy myself that
The floating rdmors Of Oil having
been struck in said counties We're

cite the imagination Of the avarici-
Gus Oil seeker, but that there was
in reality gushing from the perfor-
ated bowels Of terra 1i4na the
genuine Iquintessence of the
patiently sought and much coveted
treasure. Consequently on the
morning Of the 18th ult., all things
being ready, with light heart and
buoyant spirits, set out upon my
eager journey Of twenty or more
miles to the far famed Gold &
'Conely well, at South Blooming.

interest the unctions fluid as it ma

placid bosom of Deer creek. After

lar engagement, and to my own
satisfaction, saw for myself that
the stories of Peter-o-leum was no
hunlbug. Their we'll is little more
than 600 #. deep, and DIR. g. who
is superintendent, is engaging to
tube and pump his we'll with every
confidence Of complete success, and

resumed my onward journey by

with Salt creek, thence down said
creek some g. or 7 miles to the
Walker well, and reined in for the
night, This we'll is located on the
west bank Of Salt creek, is owned
by the HallSville company, Mr.. NJ.
Pontinus superintendent, and had

prospects of. any | saw. Unlike
the Bloomingville wells, it has no
flow Of water to impede a thorough
test as is the case with both these
wells. This well struck its first Oil
on the 18th inst, and has since in
creased until it now shows consid-
cradle quantities at every sand
pumping. The company is prcpar-
ing to test it, and if / am not
mistaken, will prove itself a very
paying well, The Oil was struck
at the depth Of $50 #. in a mica
. sand rock, "commonly. called the
Oil rock" from the fact that Oil is
found in or near il. 1t is intensely
hard and Of dark complexion, and
contains a small proportion ofmica.
Mr.. L. is a man Of more than ordi-
nary genius, and has everything
connected with his well in the most
perfect state ofimprovement. He
has invented a peculiar machine
for boring Oil and salt wells, that
is destined to be one ofthe greatest
mechanical triumphs Of the age.

and is a saving of several hundred
dollars on every we'll that is bored.
Mr.. p has a patent pending and
will realize more from it than a
dozen wells, though they flow a
hundred bbls per day. So perfect
is it in execution that Mr.. p. and
his hands leave their we'll, go to
their boarding house half a mile off,
eat their meals, and all the while
the boring goes on as though they
were present Success crown him
and may his newly invented ma
chine receive its just merit, is the

To the Democracy.


TO the Democracy
1t is, perhaps, hardly necessary
for us to say that while we issue
the official organ of Vintoh county,
under new name, and a new dress,
it is, nevertheless, to be the expon-
ent and defender of no new creed.
We expect toadvocate Democratic
principles, and to freely and fear
lessly discuss all public issues as
they arise in the light and under
the guidance of those great cardinal
truths taught by the founders of
our organization-the JEFFERsoNs
and MADIsoNS Of the golden age of
the Republic, While we submit
with the best grace possible, to that
which is irrevocable, and deem it
the part of wisdom to recognize
accomplished facts, we shall stea-
dily resist the further encroach-
ments Of Federalism; and strive, in
an humble way, to do our part
towards "reconstructing" the whole
country, upon the old basis of the
~,
Constitution, as construed by THos.
JEFFERSON in his inaugural address
Of March 4, 1901, that is to say on
the broad foundation of "Equal
and exact justice to all men of
whatever State or persuasion, re-
ligious or political; peace, COM
merce and honest friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances
with none; the support Of the State
governments in all their rights as
the most competent administra-
tons for our domestic concerns,
and the surest bulwarks against
anti-republican tendencies the
preservation of the general govern
ment in its whole constitutional
vigor as the sheet anchor of our
peace at home. and safety abroad; +;
a jealous care Of the right Of cleo
ton by the people; a mild and safe
corrective Of abuses which are lop-
ped by the sword Of revolution
where peaceable remedies are I'M
unproyided; absolute acqu'fescdn-
ce in the decisions of the majority;
a well disciplined militia; the SUI
premacy Of the civil over the mill
tary authority; economy in the
public expense that labor may be
lightly burdened; the honest pay
ment of our debts and sacred
preservation Of the public faith;
encouragement Of agriculture and
Of commerce as its handmade; the
diffusion Of information and the
arraignment Of all abuses at the
bar Of public reason; freedom of
religion, freedom Of the press and
freedom of person, under the, pro-
lection Of the Aa5ea8 corpus; and
trial by j'ries impartially selected.
We have wandered far from these
principles during the "moments Of
error and alarm" of the past five
years; we shall do all we can to
encourage the people to follow
JEFFERSoY's counsel to "hasten to
retrace their steps, and to regain
the road which alone leads to
peace, liberty and safety" "a'a.-'

"A WEEKLY newspaper published
IA every Thursday morning, at
Macarthur, Vinton County, Ohio.

hcAHInuF, tintOn county, On1O'
We will publish the ensuing year. as
successor to the NcArthW Democrat, THE
VINToN RECORD. In politics the RECORD
will be Democratic. Citizens who main
tain the Constitution of our fathers, and
the uhion, should circulate conservative
papers. Citizens who are opposed to the
social and political equality of free Amer
leans of African descent" and their albino
allies will rally to the support of our en-
terpriSc, without regard to their locality or
previous views. Whilst defending our
principles. we hope to give oflense to none,
and Will freely give to those who differ
with us, a fair hearing in our columns, es-
pecially while there is no other jour nal in
the county.
Independent of its politics, the RECORD
shall be welcome visitor to the family
circle. 1t will be devoted especially to the
Agricultural, Commercial, Manufacturing
and Mechanical interests of our County.
The Oil and mineral resources, important
Foreign and domestic News, Congressional,
Legislative and Judicial proceedings, and
the Markets, will receive due attention.
As the RECORD is the official organ Of
the County, no man in. Vinton should be
without it. Legal Notices, Sales, Delin-
quent TaX-Sales, and other meters of Local
interest, make it matter of necessity to
keep posted up.
In brief we will do our duty to give you
a good paper, printed on entirely new type,
ana ask that you give us a liberal and hearty
support. Terms $1.50 per year in advance.

The Republican Senators at
Washington seem to be impressed
with the belief that their first duty
is to provide comfortable places at
the public crib for all of their rela-
tions, even to the fifth generation.
Among their other sins they add
the,sin Of despotism. AWashingtoh
correspondent ofthe Chicago Times
gives these instances of it. He
says: .,.5r f .Ta .G.aa.Gu

Of Vinton, in order that you may

will aid us in our efforts to publish

truthfuliy, that'no county in Ohio,
Of the population and wealth Of
Vinton, can boast Of a neater county
paper. TAe-eounty paper is always
taken as an index of the intelli-
gence and enterprise Of the citizens.
If our people will sustain the Press
by prompt payment, we will give
you a paper that will be creditable
to us and you. T. h. .,-.- r. at
The cash system being adopted
in every business, requires it Of us,
hence our terms are cash, in ad-
vance. No paper will be sent. or
advertisement continued, unless
paid for in advance. The Dem0crat
tried the credit systemior the past
twelve years, and it has been the
cause Of all the losses of the Press.
