from Burning Springs, und gather tho fol
lowing facts. Business continues dnll
owing to the bad condition Of the roads
and tic tightness Of the money market
The oil production Is still about 200 bar

arrived and commenced operations on
their now well. Prospects this summer

THE gentleman who complies the State
news for the Wheeling INTELLTGENCER
must have been steady reader Of the
Eliadbeth Gdattb. Whenever he copies
from the Democrat that lCfGnct sheet gets
the credit. We Ike the IETRLLIURNCER
and We like 10 see our articles copied into
It's columns, but we don't like to DO called
the Elisabeth GGsette.--1VTht O., Democrat
We humbly beg the Democrats pardon
for the second time. If 1t will let US Of
this lime we promise never to do 1t again
It would be great convenience for us
though, II the Democrat would consent Il
change its name and take that Of It's pre-
dOcessor. We.are very conservative or
tho subject of names and find 1t equally
hard to forget an old ono or learn anew
one-a good deal as II Is with tho DDnocra
in the matter of politics.
