Death of Mother Holiday.

The death of Mrs. Ann Holiday, at
the home OF her Son-in-law Jacob Ritz
last evening, removes from this COM
munity not only one of the oldest but
one of the most beloved women. This
is evidenced from the fact that she was
always referred TO by G.. A. r. aud tenn
Derance circles as Mother" Holiday.
Her interest in the war was great and
one of her sons, who died in battle has
his memory perpetuated by the }. w
Holiday Post of this city. In the lat
ter years Of her life Mother Holiday
used her influence and the magnetism
of her presence at temperance meet
incs. The members of the e.. A. K:
were devotedly attached 20 her, ana
never failed TO do her honor on all pub
lie occasions. She was good woman,
and has gone TO her rest full OF years
and honors. Her funeral will take
place Friday afternoon.

News from the Wells.

The Glenn's Run Oil and Gas Compa-
ny's well, on the head of Nixon's run,
back of Martins Ferry, has just finished
putting in the casing at 100 feet, and
expects to reach the pay sand by about
the 25th of this month. The indications
so far tend to show up for an oil field,
and many eyes are bent upon 1t.
Mr.. James Storey, of Belmont, has the
contract and is experimenting the well.
Two or three more wells will be drilled
ia this territory in the near future.
Judge Cochran and Harry NOrthwood,
of Martins Ferry, are leading spirits in
the movement of development in this
section Of the country, and deserve
credit for their laudable enterprise.

Selling this at ninety-five cents per

A Great LACQUER Artist.

Artistic Japan has suffered another
great loss in the death of Mr.. Shibata
juno, commonly known as Zeshin, who
expired on the 18th of July, at the ripe
age of eighty-five. A greater worker in
lacquer probably never lived than this
remarkable artist. Everything that
came from his hands was of the most
beautiful and refined character, and re-
peatedly during the last ten years he
gave practical demonstrations Of the
fact that the capacity of modern Japan
csc artisans to produce lacquer of the
highest quality is in no respect inferior
to the capacity of the great masters of
formar tirnac
