put a stop to such business Don't you
know it is unlawful to kill this game
at this season Of the year?
Attention is directed to the new
card Of Charles Resner, manager of
the branch Office Of the Singer Sewing
Machine, in this issue. Mr.. Resner
keeps supply Of needles and sewing
machine attachments on hand, and |
any one in need of the same will do
we'll to give him call.
The Court Proclamation and |
Trial List are published this week.
From the list of cases set down it
would seem that the May term Of
court will not be a very extensive one.
The number of jurors, however, will
be twelve more than usual, on account
of special case which it is thought
will come up.
Our advertisement of Reid Insti-
tute stated last week that the cost of
tuition is $3.50 This was a mistake.
The entire cost of tuition and table
boarding with the Faculty. is only
$3.50, Those desiring splendid edu
cational advantages at remarkably
small expenses would do well to ad
dress the Principal. See advertise
ment in another column.
Charlie Hill has been engaged for
the past few days rigging up and
cleaning out the oil we'll on his place,
four miles up the river. He will give
it a thorough test, and if ii proves
success, Of which there is little doubt,
he will make attachments with the
first one and pump both with one
boiler. The oil found there is worth
from three to four dollars per barrel.
MIR. John Heath, of Dutch Hill,
is at present canvassing the county
with several articles of use in every
household. He has the agency for
DR.. Dana Bludgood's Life syrup, and
Morse's Indian Root Pills, both of
which are said to be excellent rene
dies. He also sells oil cloth aprons,
picture frames, etc. Mr.. Heath is
worthy of any patronage oar citizens
bestow upon hun, and we would ask
all in need Of any of his wares to give
him an order.
From the present outlook it
would seem that tax on oil in some
shape is inevitible, and some of the
oil region papers arc favoring the tax
on rigs in preference to one directly
on oil. For the future welfare of our
county we hope it may be put on oil,
if apall, as tax on rigs would knock
the noise out Of developments in this
. county for long time to come. No
? one, rich or poor, cares to "wildcat"
: where it costs from thousand to fif-
t teen hundred dollars to strike the first

There are enough indica tions in
the paint mine which we have
I noticed heretofore, to indicate success
The raw material has been tried and
l not found wanting, either in quality
or excellence; and from present ap.
pearances, we prophesy that the arti'
Gle as found in this county will justify
the most sapguine expectations. 1t has
t also been found good for other pur.
r poses in the mechanic arts, which we
may explain at future date. In thi;
= connection we also take pleasure in
: stating upon good authority, that fine
e iron ore beds, up Little Coon, are soor
# to be opened, and there is talk of &
furnace soon up there. These iron orr
e beds are said to be peculiarly rich.
