Der of our citizens who attended the Belle
view camp meeting on Sunday last report
that the crowd in attendance was more or
derby then on any Of previous meetings
there.
County Court
has ordered that the Court House be light
ed and heated with gas. The gas filters are
now engaged putting in the necessary NIX
lures. Gas for fuel in our churches and pub
lie buildings will be not only economy, but
a great convenience. The rattle OF the
metal coal scoops, the slam and bang oil
stove doors, and the dig, punch and pry OF
the poker in the hands Of the Janltor or
st xton will not

The Pan Handle window Glass Works
started on Saturday, after a stop since July
/. Work will be continued at this estab'
lishment as usual. The Pan Handle Com
pany belongs to no association and adjusts
It's affairs in a manner that will be the most
profitable to the stockholders. We are glad
10 learn that this company has and con-
tinues to prosper. They have a large list
of orders now on hand to fill, and are re-
ceiviug offers OF ten per cent. better on
prices mar last year. This factory and
two or three in the West are the only ones
not in the Window Glass Manufacturers
Association.
Natural Gas
is used at the Pan Handle works in the
hatteniRg ovens and blow furnaces without
the cid of any other fuel. In the melting
furnace some little coal has to be used.
This is not the fault of the heating prop
critics Of the gas, but in the application oil
1t. II will require further experimenting
with the gas before it can be used for melt
ing without the aid of coal. As it is there
will be a large saving OF coal. The fore

The st. George well is down 10 a depth oil
a. feet. The breaking Of a drill stem IN
he well on Monday last caused a delay oil

Midway, Brooke csunty, w. Va, should
not be COMPOUNDED with Midway, Pa. Ia
view Of Midway, Pa, being on the main
line of the F., C.. 4 st. l.. Railway, il
would be better if the name of our Midway
be changed. 1t will not be long, however,
! if these prosperous times continue in aud
about Wellsburg, until Midway will be-
comea part snd parcel of Welisburg.
