Few railroads in the country
are enjoying the prosperity, now
enjoyed by the Ohio River Rail-
road, under the management of
Col. Geo. A. Burt, its Vice Presi-
dent. He is business man, and
is instilling business principles In
to every department of the road,
and this is what is winning for the
road its great popularity and in
creasing its passenger and freight
traffic. 1t shows what good bust
ness brains and fine executive abil-
ity can accomplish. when properly
applied.

In the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant of Mason City, there
never was such a drouth, such dust,
as this. The streets of Pomeroy
are sprinkled, but the dust is fly
ing heavily in clouds clear over
the river from Mason county and
settling down on Pomeroy.
The corn crop on the Letart. Is
lands this year is mammouth; but
the melon crol was failure, the
first time in years.
The boys from around the bend
are leaving their homes in large
numbers, every train coal miners
and stone cutters, etc, seeking en-
pioyment in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and other states. Several agents
are there from these states, seeking
employees. 1t is to be regretted
that our boys have to go away
from home in this way, but there
being no employment here for them
at better wages they are not to be
blamed for doing the best they can
for themselves. Thirty left Mason

1t is not question of wet or dry
at Mason just now. It is unmis-
takably dry in the old town. The
cisterns have gone dry, the wells
have given up their last drop and
everywhere ''the heart panteth
for the water brook" The fires
are burning out in the woods back
of the city, and should a spark
light anywhere in the town the
whole place would be wiped out
in blaze. They have good fire
fighting apparatus there, but there
4 being a water famine, it would be
of no avail.
The coal operators and miners
are still trying to get their heads
together on the wage scale. There
viii be no dearth of coal for the
/ winter, however, as the miners are
mot SO cruel hearted as to allow
the people to suffer from the lack
of it this winter. They are a good
hearted people, these around the

Minersville is still able to about
