to Uncle Ezra that it was his duty to

The exhibition at the Ravenna Art School is
deservedly attracting 4he attention of the public
The school is making excellent progress and
has achieved true success in its undertakings.
We found great pleasure and profit in looking
through the rooms, where, on every hand. were
exquisite creations in water colors. and very
fine productions in pen and ink work. The ex-
hibits are all from the studio of Miss Jessie
Jones, of Cleveland, who has taken entire
charge of the school. and the sketches are all
from life. Miss Jones is a post graduate of the
Cleveland School of Art. and is fully equipped
for artistic and correct methods of teaching
She will be at the rooms every Tuesday. and
the Sketch class will receive lessons between
4 and O'Clock on that day. Instruction W i'll be
made from models, and the studio is well
equipped with casts for cast drawings.s
Miss Jones' exhibition was entirely worthy
of the reception accorded it. Her execution is
very superior, and our readers should call and
set her beautiful productions. Everyone should
take pride in and feel an interest in the Ra.
VIENNA Art School which is certainly great
credit to the city.

A. S. Lynn is leasing land in this section for
the Akron Gas and Oil Co and as soon as a sufi :
cient number of leases have been made. four test
wells will be put down. Considerable land has
been leased already. and the agent is meeting
with excellent success in his negotiations with
the farmers. The Company agrees to sink test
well to the depth of 4.e0O feet. providing that
they do not strike anything before that depth.
The Company stipulates to pay $3.50 royalty per
year for each gas WE'LL and give the lessor one
eighth part of all oils that may be produced.
They also agree to pay Is cents per ton royalty
for all coal mined on the premises. The Compa-
ny hope to be able to secure sufficient territory
to commence operations in the near future.
The best experts sent here by the Company say
that the indications are better than at Lima and
Fostoria before any wells were sank at those
places The estimated cost of putting down a
test well is from $4,000 to $4,000. The farmer is
not out a cent. or put to any inconvenience dur
ing these tests and in the event of failure to find
anything from drilling. is no poorer than before.
while if the tests yrove successful. the chances
for his making handsome sum of money are
excellent. Such lease could easily lead to a
snug little fortune for the lessor. In event of
failure to find anything in paying quantities. the
lease is void. or if failure is made to complete
test well for IS months.
