state Notes.

Another oil well has been OPEN
ed in Wood county, which yields
a paying quantity Of oil.
The United States District Court,
in session at Clarksburg, adjourn
ed last week until Thursday, 1st
July, at that place.
The Charleston, Kanawha, peo-
pie want a machine shop, with a
planning mill and sash and door
factory attached.
A project is on foot for another
glass factory at Martins Ferry, 10
which the citizens of that place
are said to be subscribing literally.
The Grant County Democratic
Convention iEstructs for John
johnson for State Superintendent
of Schools, and for Robert White
for Attorney General.
The Charleston Courier congrat-
ulates everybody that there is now
clear track for the Hon. Chas. j.
Faulkner to the candidacy for
Governor. Well, won't he make
a good one?
Hon. A. M. Poundstone, of
Upshrr. will be candidate for
delegate to the Chicago Conven-
ton.
The Democratic Conventions of
Nicholas and Clay counties have
instructed for Hon. John e. Kenna
for Congress, and G. G. Watts for
Attorney General.
The reported declination of Hon.
j. N. Camden leaves the field clear
to Mr.. Faulkner for governor,
though friends of Judge B-annon
and Hon. j. M. Bennett, of Wes-
ton are pushing their claims.
A citizen of Huntington has
gained suit in the Court of APP
peals of the state for 800 dam
ages against the corporation of
that town for injuries received
from the bad condition Of its
streets.
Old inhabitants say that this is
the year for the seventeen-year
l0custs in West Virginia, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Kentucky. It
is mistake, so far as this state Is
concerned. They were with US in
1851 and in 1868, and are conse-
quently not due until 1888.
The impression is abroad that
Mr.. J. N. Camden will not be q
candidate for Governor. this year,
and that Mr.. J. b. Jackson feels
pretty much the same way. Mr.
Faulkner has publicly said that he
does not seek the Office, and would
only accept the nomination at the
hands of the Democratic Conven-
ton, If rendered to him, as a mat
ter of duty. This is the correct
position. A man who has become
experienced in the conduct of af-
fairs of State should always subor-
dinate his personal wishes to the
interests and the demands of the
public. When drafted into the
service, in either civil or military
life. he should not fail to respond
to the summons. 1t is as much a
matter of duty in the citizens to
serve in the position of Governor
or Congressman, when summoned
so to do, as IL Is to serve on a jury.
