chased the farm on which his son, Mr.
Jonathan Thatcher, now resides, few
miles west of Martinsburg. At that
time there was growing on it a small
apple tree about two inches in circum-
ference, the seed or which must have
been waited and planted by some Of the
laws of the Almighty. Protection was
placed about it and the tree grew and
bore red apple of delicious flavor. 1t
never was grated but CRAFTS from it

All the leases taken by 7. M. jack
son & Co., in Doddridge county, IN
Guiding about 10000 acres were pur-
chased by the South Penn Co. early last
spring. There has been much diSSatis-
faction among the farmers whose lands
were tied ND in these leases, as they
were all non-rental leases. The farm
ers could have made something out OF
their lands had they not been tied up In
this way. These leases were taken on
long time. the most of them TO 'com-
mence operations within two years
from the date of this lease
and complete within eighteen
months thereafter" The company now
holding the leases claims that the tall-
ure TO commence drilling within the
time allowed TO begin does not forfeit
the lease. but that they have the full
time until the well was TO be completed
in which TO do it. This is disputed, and
il is generally held that failure to
comply with single provision. OF the
contract renders it entirely null and
void. The South Penn Company has al
ready begun leasing again the lands
covered by the Jackson leases and put
them under an annual rental OF 81 an
acre and paying Il bonus OF 40 cents.
So far this has only been done in cases
where operations were to begin within
six months. and which were perhaps
forfeited long ago. These leases will
perhapS all be put under rental soon,
which will gladden. the hearts of more
than 200 farmers in Doddridge county.
Several days ago this paper an
nounced that Mrs. Rena 3. Hayes in

The feelings and reputation of

which she claims to oe perfectly limo
