worthy councilmen.
QuITE a number of very compli-
mentary notices referring to the
Creamery Bulletin of the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station have late
ly appeared in the State press. The
papers can add much to the useful
ness of the Station by occasional mo-
tees,
BERT LAzIER has the neatest and
most complete ice cream manufac-
turing apparatus ever seen here. He
has fine little steam engine to run
his frcezers, using natural gas for
fuel, which greatly facilitates the
work and proves to be great laber
saver. Bert is very energetic
caterer
AN intelligent and progressive
farmer from Monongalia informs us
that there is quite tendency over
there to raise fewer cattle and more
horses, the profit on the latter prov
ing more remunerative; and more es-
pecially since the breeds are being
improved by the admixture of the
blood of the Norman and Clydesdale
breeds -Kingaoood Era.
FIRE was discovered in the chin
ney Of Watts & Protzman's Marble
Works Sunday night, the blaze leap
ing out in big volume. The gas
had been turned on too high in the
stove and the SCOT had ignited. 1t
was turned down and no damage
done. Persons would do well to have
their chimneys cleaned of SCOT. 1t
makes less danger of fire.
WHIsKEY matters have taken an
other serious quirk and turn at Fair
mont, in SO much that no licenses will
be granted till after the June session
of the County Court and even then
it is likely that there will be a fail
ure to connect. 1t seems that the
people of the Mountain City will con-
tinue to wet their whistles with the
ardent that is sold no place, but is
always plenty.
DURING all the time that Mayor
Fast has been in office he has never
retained cent of costs and never
received a cent for fees. Don't look
like he could be charged with taking
the great interest in the town that
he has taken for the consideration of
what money there is in the office.
He had a right to make some money
out of the office, but the fact stands
that he hasn't.
In another column appears the adj
yertisement Of the Washington Life
Insurance Company, of New York.
The company is represented here by
Mr.. Chas. E. Jolliffe who has been
appointed special agent by Mr.. G.
B. Briscoe, who is the general agent
for this State. The Washington is
an old company and one of the solid
est in the country. Prof. Purinton,
we learn, has been insured in this
company for over 20 years.
The County Court of Marion coun-
ty is progressive body. Last week
the State transferred it's interests
in the suspension bridge at Fair
mont with the proviso that the coun-
ty purchase the remaining shares of
stock that were held by individuals
The court after due deliheration de-
cided that in making the purchase
the best interests of the county
would be consulted, and acting on
that decision made an order to that
effect at the recent session This
makes the Fairmont bridge free and
the people are all happy.
The Morgantown correspondent
of the Wheeling Register Saturday,
says: Contrary to some reports in
many of the State papers, regarding
the Mt. Morris oil field, l to-day re
ceived from very reliable authority
the information that the supply is
constantly decreasing, the wells there
only flowing from 500 to 600 barrels
per day against 1000 to 1900 bar
rels few weeks since. The same
ratio compares to the shipments
from this place, now only about sew
en- cars per day being shipped
against eleven and twelve a short
time since.
JASPER JONES, who last week was
arrested near Mt. Morris on a charge
of murder, preferred by Kentucky
parties, where the murder occurred
about year ago, has returned, he
proving to be not the man wanted.
He was arrested by Detective
Gothrop, of Clarksburg, who was af-
ter the murderer, whose name was
Gum. Jones answered the descrip-
ton and was taken to Kentucky by
the detective, though all the time
protesting his innocence. 1t did not
take long after his arrival for all to
see that Jones was not Gum and he
was released, arriving here Tuesday
day. He works on the tramway in
this county near Mt. Morris and is
an honest citizen and good work
er. We are glad to see him cleared.
