Mr.. w. ID. WILSON manager in Wheel
ing for the Dunn Commercial Agency
has made report of the crop and trade
outlook in West Virginia, and included
the counties of Belmont and Monroe in
Ohio In this county, he says, wheat will
be about 80 per cent. of crop, oats 40 to
30 per cent; of corn and potatoes it is
too early to predict, but the outlook is
good. Apples and pears will yield 75 to
80 per cent. on the hills but are mostly
killed on low grounds; cherries and
plums are about the same. Strawberries
will make about 75 and raspberries about
so per cent. of crop.
Trade is fair. Factories are running
well and selling.their products. Failures
in the county have been few and unim-
portant.

ABOUT half century ago well was
drilled on the lot in this village where
now stands the dwelling house of John
Wiley. The parties who drilled the well
were in search of salt water At a depth
of about 275 feet dark colored grease
became so abundant that the projectors
concluded that the oil or devils grease"
as it was called, would ruin any salt
water that might be found, and the well
was abandoned. A reliable person who
worked on the well says that about 30
feet of oil stood in the hole when they
left it. Near the location of this well
there is shallow water well which had
been in domestic use until recently, when
the water became SO impregnated with
petroleum as to render it useless.-Gleia-
