At the opera house in this city
on Saturday the democrats of Lin
coin district will meet in convention
for the purpose of nominating tim.
Der for some of the Offices which
are to be filled this year. Some of
the Offices which will have to be
filled either by democrat or a re-
publican this year in this county
are of very great importance to the
people and great care should be
exercised by every member of the
party to see that uone but the best
men are nominated tor candidates
and then again that the best man is
elected.
Politics are all right at times, and
then again there are times when
they are all wrong. Had it not
been for politics Sistersville would
today have had license, new char
ter, possibly an independent court
and various other things in which
it stands in great need, but on &C
count of. the. .bauefrl iuauence.s OF
[politics in affairs which the taint OF
the politician should never enter,
we are here without any recognition
at all, and it may be that it will con
tinue so for couple of years longer.
The democrats at their conven-
ton Saturday can by putting up
good candidates make a showing
here which they have never done
before and it is not only possible,
but probable, that they could elect
some of their candidates. At the
convention to be held on Saturday
the Offices for which candidates are
to be named are two constables. one
member of the board of education,
president of the board of education.
For the Board OF Education none
but the best and most upright citi
zens of the community should be
selected. The position is one of
great trust and responsibility and
each man should make himself a
committee Of one to see that ONLY
the best men are nominated tor the
position. To those people who are
raising families should this appeal
more than to any others. They
will have little ones to educate and
of course they will want schools to
be first class in every particular
and under the administration of the
most honorable men in the district
There is plenty of good timber in
the district for this Office and only
the best should be selected.
In the district the Offices men
toned above are perhaps the most
important ones to be filled. There
are two candidates for constable to
be selected and these should also
be good men. They have great
deal of responsibility and men who
will appreciate this should be the
ones selected. Good, upright, in
telligent, honest, sober men are the
ones who should be nominated for
these Offices.
The principal business before the
convention will be the selection of
delegates to the convention 10 be
held at Middlebourne later, at
which the candidate for the house
of delegates will be named. Here
is something that is of the most
vital Importance to the people of

OIL NOTES..
THE OIL MARKET.

The Carter Oil company have
rig about completed on the Graham
farm, north OF the McL<ain we'll, in
the Wilson run pool.
An important test we'll is being
drilled on the Cochran farm, about
mile and halt below the town Of
Grandview, in Washington county,
Ohio, on the river, and about eight
miles south Of this city. 1t will be
remembered that in the early ex-
element in this field that VIM.
johnson drilled a we'll in on the
Ohio sile of the river, on the farm
directly south of the Cochran farm,
which, when the top of the sand
was reached, showed up for
fine we'll. Johnson shut the
well down and race began for ter
ritory. Two producers here went
after this same Cochran farm, but
one of them had no money with
him and his check would not 90
down that way, although 1t was
good for any amount The other
producer had the cash with him and
secured the lease. The we'll was
after awhile drilled in and it was
dry. This goes to show that for
many years producers have had an
idea that oil could be found down
in that direction and it is possible
that this well may tap the pool.
f., er Eros. are drilling the Y. ~
The Carter Oil company have
drilled in their No. I, on the Moore
farm, in the Elk run territory, and
at about ten screws in the sand, the
we'll is showing up for good pro-
ducer. This well is located about
a mile west of the production on
the Smith & Bohlen lease, and its
coming In so good, will open up a
lot of new territory, which will
be drilled at once. The we'll fully
demonstrates that pool of some
magnitude in the Berea grit sand
has been opened up in that section,
and from this time forward there
will be large amount of new
work started over there.
Laugher & Co.'S we'll on the
Hupp farm, about a mile ahead of
developments in the Wilson run
pool, which was due this morning,
had not been heard from late this
afternoon and it is hardly in the
sand yet.
Childers & Co. are still fishing at
their No On the Henthorn lease,
out in the northeast extension of
the Elk Fork pool.
Cowell & Altdnberg's we'll on the
Thomas farm in the Elk run terri
tory, which was drilled in a few
days ago and shot yesterday, will
be good for about so to 90 barrels
a day from the Big Injun sand.

well recently drilled in on the Mar

The new county fiicers entered upon

that the affairs Of the taxpayers will be
