Oil at MasOntOWu.

S. T, Gray, the Masontown distil-
Ter, is the owner of an oil well, though
the production at the present time is
limited. In 1887 a company com
posed of Masontown and Uniontown
gentlemen, drilled well at Mason
town for either gas or oil. All the
known producing sands were drilled
through and only a small flow OF
gas was found. 1t being failure,
some Of the members kicked about
paying all their subscriptions, and
those who paid, rather than have any
trouble, let the machinery, leases, etc,
be sold at sheriff's sale to pay off the
Indebtedness S. T. Gray purchased
the entire holdings of the company
and had the well fixed up so that it
would furnish just about sufficient
gas for the mill and residence which
are close by. The flow continued I'M
til last Sunday when it suddenly
stopped. An examination showed
that the well was full of oil and the
Masontown people are expecting big
things.

age of the wonders that they can
present, for all fair minded people
will agree that there were circum-
stances against the aggregation
when here.
GROWING about "hard times" don't
help improve them. Times are to
each of US very much as we make
them. The lazy man, the improvi-
dent, the careless and extravagant
man will always have hard times,
while the industrious, prudent, fru-
gal who are willing by little self
denial in the present to make provis-
ion for the future, will always have
good times" Many people are ready
to blame their own failures in life
upon others, upon circumstances,
politics, this or that party, instead
of taking hold of circumstances
and moulding them to their own
good. We are in great danger of
forgetting few old fashioned but
fundamental truths, in our striving
after novelties and new methods OF
getting on in the world" There is
but one honest way of getting rid of
debt, and that is by paying, not re
pudiating. But one way of keeping
out of debt and that is by buying
for cash, or going without till pre-
pared to pay cash. Debt incurred
for the ordinary expenses of life is g
great curse. Many Of us have never
learned this simple truth, that daily
expenses should be kept within daily
earnings. A great help in doing this
is by buying only what is needed
for cash, so getting the most for your
money. The Victor Mills Co., will
help you do this by selling all thu
necessaries of life in which the,
