They Want Better Roads.

Usage, w. VA, Dec. "a number of
citizens of this vicinity held meeting at
this place on Wedne sday evening, Dec.
4th, and discussed the subject roads VS..
a new court house. They passed res
olution as follows:
RESOLVED, That in our opinion we
need good roads much more than we
need new court house, and that we
respectfully recommend to our county
court, that they lay levy and expend
$4,000 on our roads for the year 1890 !;
and the same for the year 1891.
After that time new court house may
be considered. We as a portion of the
tax payers have no desire for new
court house as long as the roads are i'm
passable nearly one-half of the year, SO
that we cannot get to the new court
house during that time without endan-
gering our lives.
J. j. Wharton has sent his saws to
to Beaver Falls to have them hammer

his store here.
The Usage Mills are using gas for fuel
and j. j. Wharton and VIM. Hall are
also using it in their houses. If the
gas well should give out some bitter
cold night fear some that are using it
would be tempted to say some cuss
words.

A visit of the NEW DouixioS rep
resentative to Geo. &C. Hayes & Co.'S
store on Walnut Street revealed the
fact that for beauty and variety
their stock can not be excelled. The
various lines of goods are arranged
and displayed with rare good taste
and make very imposing display
though somewhat crowded. Every
thing about the store looks rich and
attractive.
The line of silver ware offered by
this firm is very extensive and hand
some, and for quality and cheapness
is hard to excel.
Another line such as was never
before offered in Morgantown is a
fine lot of watches set with diamonds
and a line Of diamond jewelry. The
firm bought these goods at a bargain
such as comes but once in lifetime
and they are marked at correspond
ing prices. There are some beauti-
full rings, shirt studs and other ar
ticles that ale sire to catch the eye
of the critical buyer.
There is also handsome lot of
plush goods of remarkable beauty
and utility.
There is among the great variety
of other goods special line of china
and glass ware-nothing more ac-
ceptable for present to your house
keeper friend.
Besides the extra fine watches,
there are the less costly but more
serviceable ones and an immense
line of clocks. You can get any
thing you want from a little round
ticker to an immense regulator.
In addition to the various lots of
special and elegant holiday goods
which is one Of the largest ever
shown by this firm, there is their
usual big stock Of staple every day
specialties.
In the grocery department the
new stock of tempting good things
is too great to enumerate. If you
don't visit this place before making
your purchases for the holidays,
YOU will miss it.

Don't buy watch; don't buy jewel
ny for Christmas presents; don't buy
a clock; in fact, don't buy any of the
thousand and one useful and valua-
BILE articles wanted for yourself or
your friends until you have seen the
collection at Ii. S. Hayes. The
whole line has Just been bought and
a great part of it is already upon tx
hibition and the prices are lower
than ever before for the same goods.
There is the handsomest lot of clocks
and watches to be found; vast
amount Of jewelry of all patterns and
prices-something to please all.
In other lines there is fine and
handsome collection of silver ware,
china and glass ware, besides vast
amount of toys.
Besides the great variety of goods
in this line the grocery department is
full to overlooking with everything
needed for the larder. There are the
best brands Of -four, choice sugars,
spices, candies, canned goods, con
dictionaries, pickles, cheese, raisens,
tropical fruits, crackers, cakes,
cranberries, chockolate, lard and
anything else you can call for. This
does not include the cured meats and
a vast quantity Of goodr in Chat line.
The two young men Chas. A. and
f. ID. who have succeeded to their
fathers business are maintaining
its business reputation. They are
prompt and obliging in all business
transactions and you will find them
liberal in dealing with you. If you
are not in the habit of dealing with
them go and make their acquainit-
ance when buying your holiday
goods.

Still Active.

Since Hukill's well on the d.
Wise farm, this county, came in for
80 barrels an hour it has served to
show that the development of the
Dolls run field is still active and
that leases were not procured out
there for the exclusive purpose of
speculation by the lessees, but are
being utilized by the magic needle
of oil fields, commonly called the
drill. The business OF the Depot at
this place is another sign of the in
creased activity in the field, as every
day there are endless amounts of
pipe, casing, pumps, boilers, engines,
&c, put off here The experimental
stage in the field has long since been
passed; the field is surety and
lease holders no longer speculate as
to what can be found on their prop
erty. This, of course, has reference
to the leases inside of the tested
limits. Outside of the aforesaid
limits the matter is new and in a
manner experimental. 1t has not
overwhelmingly settled that the field
extends into Marion, but it is a
plausible theory that it does. But
the. bounds Of the Dolls run field
are we'll known and within it there
are in the neighborhood of so oil
wells, II gassers and four dry holes
The best well is Hukill on Wise and
the next is said to be McCalmont on
Core. These big wells are not pool
markers, as the dozens of others that
came in ahead of them served for
that purpose. There is great field
in Monongalia. 1t is already quite
satisfactorily producing and new
wells are going down constantly.
We have not had much to say,
though, about our oil and our boom
and all these things for some time,
but we remind the folks of them now
lest a few should conceive the false
notion that the oil business in these
parts is departed glory. Instead
it is just bursting forth into a most
welcome reality and if signs ever do
count it mas come to remain for a
long, long time.

The great stock of valuable goods
so lastly displayed at J. NJ. Reed d
Co.'S drug storeiis far ahead of any
thing ever shown in this place before.
First there is the usual line of staple
drugs and medicines, paints. oils,
glass and lamps.
A rare collection of perfumeries
and fine toilet soaps ara displayed in
great variety-nothing nicer to give
young lady for one OF her Christ
mas presents than perfumery out
fit.
Another special feature is mag
nifcent line Of plush and oxidized
silver dressing cases and fittings
complete-the finest lot ever shown
here.
One Of the greatest features is the
big lot of cheap books. Hundreds
of volumes of standard works, in
Guiding Dickens, Scott, Macauley
and other immortal authors, bound
in cloth, only 25 cents-usGal price
81. This opportunity will probably
never be offered again. Some of the
prettiest and most useful articles to
be found are offered here

SOMETIMES it falls to the lot of the
oger-worked item hunter and pencil
pusher to see something funny,
though usually his knowledge of all
but the prosy industri GUS side of life
is by report from some one more
fortunate. But last Thursday we
saw man who made us and crowd
some fun. The fellow was in tat
tered condition from a recent encoun-
ter with John B. earn, in which the
latter, as usual, came out victorious.
The worsted brave however, wished
to hit him another slight tap, and
taking note of the shy, innocent and
sympathetic us, thought that we
probably had.the necessary 10 cents,
and begged us for loan. 1t nearly
broke our hearts as.'we had to confess
that our eyes had not for many days
Toasted on the sight of filthy lucre.

fed himself that he could take one
Of the cans of oysters which were
exhibited outside without being seen.
He made sanother artful dodge,
picked up can and putting it under
his coat hustled off. OF course we
were shocked at such bold exhibit
tion Of dishonesty, and though we
pitied the culprit stern dutv laid q
