THERE is perhaps more oil to
be found in this county than in
any place in Eastern Kentucky,
though there has been very little
said about it, and we do not see
why natural gas may not be found
in abundance. Oil of u fine lub-
ricating quality can be gathered
with but little trouble on DEVILS
creek, a few miles from Campton.
We have used it for lubricating
machinery in this Office, and know
it to be of number one quality.
The sample we had, half-pint,
was gathered in a few minutes by
simply digging place in the sand
along the creek and waiting few
minutes for it to fill with oil.
Nor is il confined to one locality,
but all along the creek it may be
had as easily. 1t is very heavy
and the indications of its abund-
ance lead us to believe that we'll
affording twenty to fifty barrels
day could be sunk at a nominal
cost. Should tho we'll be sunk and
our expectations realized, there
would be no difficulty in getting
n pipeline to Lexington or some
other good market, and we should
like to correspond with the cap
italists of the state with regard to
it. 1t is big thing and no mis-
take, and the corporation that gets
control of it will have n bonanza.
For further particulars address
this office, and all communications
will be checrfully answered.

A western town has suspended
business to consider this problem.
A farmer sold a horse for $50 and
bought him back for $50 and then
sold him for 500. How much did
he make in the trade? Merchants,
clerks and customers have "tigger-

farmer made $50 or $40, and the
problem has not been settled yet.

One would think that the edi-

by the way, an old and experienced
school teacher, was better posted
than the following clipped from
his esteemed paper, the Jackson
Hustler, indicates. Hazel Green is
in the Red river valley, which is
said To be the most natural route
for railroad through this section,
and We confidently believe that
when the coal road is extended it
will come this way. Feeling that
Prof. Dickey just made slip in
his geographical lines, we thank
him for the kindly mention of the
matter, and hope he will lend his

says about it:
The HAZEL GREEN HERALD Is pleased
to think that the discovery of natural
gas at Mt. Sterling will lead to an extern
sion of the coal road up Licking valley
by the way Of that town. We sincerely
wish that this hope may be realized.
The Licking valley needs railroad aud
Mt. Sterling needs the Licking valley
trade. The railroad would make both
Mt. Sterling and the valley. The magi.
cal touch Of capital directed by an en- /.
terprising hand will do all this aud
make Kentucky immensely richer in so
doing. The valley will one day have a
railroad but we would like for the pres
ent generation whom We know and es-
teen, TO enjoy the benefits

young orators of this proud old
commonwealth, the atmosphere of
which seems to be 4 nducive of and
congenial to the greatest speakers
on the globe. The Danville Advo-
cate, Of Friday, has the following
about Jimmie Swango, but we rise
to remark that he belongs to Hazel

our esteemed contemporary shall
speedily make the correction. He

The primary oratorical contest held at
the Second Presbyterian church Wednes-
day evening. by the literary societies Of
Centre college. was about the most in
teresting Of all that have taken place.
While every one Of the speakers had
friends who were confident Of his abili-
ty To win, yet, 70 far as tse general public
was concerned, there was an uncertainty
about the affair which gave it unusual
interest.
As has been announced in these col
umns, the speakers were Claude Nj. King,
Of this city, James l.. McWilliams, Of
Louisville, Lem II. McHenry, Of Hart
fort, and James II. Swango, Of Frankfort.
Mr.. McWilliams is the winner of two
medals, and was looked upon as a sure
winner by many persons, while King and
McHenry had never before participated
in contest.
The judges, Hon. John w. Hughes, of
Harrodsburg, Prof. Owsley Stanley, Of
Mackville, and Mr.. .Lucien Noel, of Ian.
caster, were unanimous in the opinion
that Mr.. Swango, everything considered,
was the most eloquent speaker of the
evening, and he was awarded the honor
Mr.. Swango is a member of the senior
class and a Dienologian. He is son of
Hon. Green b. Swango, register of the
land office, and is hard student and
popular young gentleman. During Gov
ernor Browns canvass for the governor
ship Mr.. Swango accompanied that gen
tleman through his congressional district
in Eastern Kentucky, frequently making
speeches himself, and in this manner
doubtless laid foundation for the victo.
ry of Wednesday evening. He is per
fectly at ease before an audience, has a
pleasing voice and attractive bearing,
end will prove a formidable factor in the
April contest, when he will meet the best
speakers from Georgetown college, Cen
trail university, and possibly one other
Neither he nor his friends
make any boasts, but If hard study and
endeavor will achieve victo-
ry, the intercollegiate medal will be
again worn by Centre man.
The audience Wednesday night was
large one. Seldom has the immense
audience room been taxed to such a
degree. Danville society was there with
none missing, all of the surrounding
towns were represented by delegations,
and the many visitors from remote parts
of the state graced the occasion by their
presence Good order was maintained,
the music was enjoyable, and, withal, the
evening was pleasure to all.

Gov. PENNoYER, of Oregon, who
has already established reputa-
tion as an eccentric genius, per-
petuates his fame in the following,
his Thanksgiving proclamation:
Il do hereby appoint the fourth Thurs
day of the present month as day Of
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the
blessings He has bestowed upon this
commonwealth during the present year.
God has indeed been most beneficent to
our state and nation, and yet an unjust
and i'll advised congressional legislation,
having gold alone az full legal tender
money, has so dwarfed and paralyzed
business that the bonnties of providence
are now denied to hundreds of thousands
OF people within the national domain
who are not only without employment,
but also without means of procuring
food and shelter. While, therefore, the
people OF Oregon return thanks to God
for his goodness, [ do most earnestly
recommend that they devoutly implore
Him to dispose the president and con-
gress Of the United States to secure the
restoration of silver as full legal tender
money, in accordance with the policy Of
the fathers Of the republic, whereby our
industries may be revived, and the hon
est tollers of the land may procure their
daily bread, not as aims, but as reward
OF their labor"
