Not Much Faith in the Field.

The oil boom at Warrington is
subsiding somewhat, at least the
talk concerning the oil strike at that
place is not so loud as it was a few
days ago. No more is known of the
well now than there was when we
went to press last week, but the own
ers of it are leasing additional terri
tory, paying good bonuses and in
some instances buying tracts of land
outright, all of which goes to show
that they think they are in profita-
BILE oil field. We hope they are.
Various other companies are also
leasing land in that vicinity, and
Warrington is still full of strangers.
No one doubts that there is oil there,
as 40 or so barrels of it may be seen
in tank. This, too, was seen flow
ing from the well at different times,
but how much more it will produce,
whether oil will be gotten in paying
quantities or not, is question that
remains to be determined. The ter
ritory will be thoroughly tested,
however, by and by, as arrange
ments are being made to drill a num-
Der of wells in the neighborhood of
Warrington.
The indications for oil in this sec
ton were first noticed by Prof. l. c.
White, of the West Virginia Univer-
sity, who became convinced through
his Investigations of the mineral
wealth of the State that there was
oil in localities not hitherto suppos-
ed to be petroleum territory. Long
before the first producing well was
found at Mt Morris, in Greene coun-
ty, just beyond the line of Mononga-
liza county, Prof. White had follow
ed the Pennsylvania oil belt from
that point through this and Marion
counties up to, and for some miles
south of Warrington. The out crop
pings of the rock appeared on the
east side of the belt at a general
average of about As degrees south
west of Mt. Morris. He calculated
that the east side of the belt would
probably produce gas wells; on the
west side, OIL The average width
of the belt is three miles, according
to surface indications. Acting upon
the faith of his convictions, Prof.
White associated with himself
company of two and they proceeded
to visit the farmers in the neighbor-
hood of Warrington oprocure leases
of land under guarantees Of tests
within three years. Before any work
would be done the company de-
sired to secure leases of $500 acres
for simply the royalty of one-eigth
of the oil, and without bonuses,
which was done with much difficulty.

Good Words for Prof. Magrnder.
Mississippi Live Stock Journal.

Mississippi Live Stock Journal.
On Monday evening Prof. A. c.
Magruder, the Dairyman of the Ex-
pertinent Station, shipped.60 pounds
of butter to the Executive Mansion
at Washington, 20 pounds to Mrs.
Harrison and 40 to the caterer.
While at Deer Park last summer the
Presidents family, Senator Davis,
Mr.. Elkins, Col. Hanway and others
used the butter from the creamery
here and they were so pleased with
it that Mrs. Harrison has placed an
order with Prof Myers to supply
the Executive Mansion during the
fall and winter. This speaks vol
umes for the excellence of the cream
cry product.-NEw DOMINION Nor
gantown, West Virginia.
Alex G. Magruder is son of
Prof. Magruder of our Mississippi
A. Il M. College, and also a worthy
graduate of this institution. While
at College there was no better heart
ed, popular student than Alex Ma
gruder, and none more industrious
in physical labor. He was a work
er and he seemed never to grow
weary, never to complain. He had
no false pride about manual labor
but cheerfully and to the best of his
abilities performed any labor per-
tanning to the creamery that happen
ed to fall to his lot-labor that
thousands of youths of same birth
and raising and social position
would never have consented to per-
form unless it become question of
dire necessity. Alex was made of
good stuff and looked upon all honest
labor as honorable, hence he drove
the creamery wagon, shoveled coal,
attended the engine, attended the
separator and the churning, carried
skim milk to the pigs and calves,
worked and printed and packed but
ter, attended the books, performed
business correspondence, scrubbed
the dairy floor, washed the dairy
vessels-and-made love to the
pretty girls of the town in the even
ings. He was as popular with the
girls as he was with the boys-his
well known reputation as a worker
really elevated him in the eyes of
the gentler sex.
When Prof. Myers of the Missis-
sippi A. q M. College was appoint
ed Director of the West Virginia
Experiment Station, he sent for his
young pupil, Alex Magruder, to
come to his aid, as he intended es-
tablishing creamery at the Station.
Alex went and has given more than
satisfaction from the very beginning.
He has entire charge of the dairy
department and draws yearly sal
airy of 81, 800
The success of Alex Magruder in
his special field of labor, makes the
warm heart of his father glad, and
rejoiceth his friends and acquaint-
ances. In his success, through him
is reflected honor to his alma mater.
1t may strike some of our North
ern dairymen strangely to hear that
the Presidents table is supplied
with butter manufactured under the
personal supervision of one who re-
ceived his dairy education at the
Mississippi Agricultural and Ne
chanical College.

ers. No requisition from governor
can be secured on misdemeanor cases,
hence the safety of the ex-illicit whis-
key vendor. But there is now the
assurance that Monongalia soil will
not again be desecrated by his ne
farious trafficing The only joke
about it is on Sheriff Jones, who
really thought the man had the fever
very bad at Clarksburg and the next
night escaped.
THERE'S Clarksburg; she sets her
self up as the embodiment of what
stirring. progressive place should
he. If her neighbors do not do as
Clarksburg does they never will
amount to anything, in the opinion
Of Clarksburg. But she set the
worst kind of moss back and back
number example when her church
trustees and several of her citizens
complain that the plant Of the cleo
trio light company is nuisance and
that its noise and smoke and steam
disturb them. Last Saturday, at
this place Judge Hagans heard the
arguments Of counsel in the case,
applying for an injunction to stop
the operations of the electric light
company. John Bassell ESQ, was
counsel for the complanants and j..
Philip Clifford represented the com
pany, and showed by the evidence of
dozens of witnesses that the plant
was no annoyance to any one. When
people take such stand as to try
to keep an electric light concern al
ready established from letting it's
light shine then is the time to SOW
the whole town down in grass and
fence it in for the sluggards to have
and to hold all to themselves.

collected facts bearing on thei methods

complaint of all these organizations is.
