Man Interested In the Deal.

POINT MARION, Sept. 81. The
Jeanette Glass Co., Ltd, have locat-
ed and will at once build a thirty pot
tank window glass factory at Point
Marion. The location was made
August 30, 1899, on the former Titus
farm just south of town and work on
the grading has been done. The
plant is located between the track OF
the B. & O. r. r. and the Mononga-
nela river and will thus have two
lines of shipment. The contracts for
the erection Of the numerous build
ings will be let in few days, and
work is to be pushed to rapid con-
pletion, and the work Of making glass
is expected to begin Jan. 1st, 1899.
The dimensions of some of the
buildings are as follows: Tank room
70x1l0 feet; flattening and cutting
room, 124xl44; ware room, 72xl00;
box room, 3ox56; engine room, 30x30
besides several other rooms, all to be
under roof.
Mr.. Jules J. Qaertiment is presi-
dent of the Glass Co.. Joseph G. May
rotary These men and a number Of
Others connected with the plant have
been here several times, and are now
making arrangements TO move their
families here; the number OF families
moving will be limited only by the
number of houses to be obtained at
once; others will be obliged to wait
till houses are built, and it is expect
ed that in few months the popula-
tion of our town will be more than
doubled. The State Line Gas Co. has
made contract to supply the glass
plant with gas from their wells here
Mr. e. M. Grant of Morgantown

K. Sadler of this place have also form

on several tracts Of land which they
Will handle. They have also applied
for charter for water company to
supply water to the town and vicini-
ty.
All this has made buzz and hum
about our town unknown before, and
each person has smile and quick step
they did not possess till now, and all
whose hearts are with the movement
to add prosperity to our town are
unanimous in giving to our fellow
townsman, A. S. Mapel, the full cred
it for the difficult work he has ac-
complished in securing for the town
