A PREACHER named Burrows while
holding services in Wayne county
near Dunlow few evenings ago told
a funny ancedote in the course of his
sermon which was so funny that his
auditors couldn't stop laughing for
some time and the reverend gentleman
walked out. He has had number of
witnesses before the grand jury to have
that body investigate the matter.
A NUMBER of the people who went
to Fairmont to see the circus report
that they were unable to get into the
tent owing to the rush of people to
see the performance. All the tickets
were sold before the door of the
tent opened and those who had de-
layed buying went without seeing
what they had gone up to see.
A YEAR ago Mrs. Mary Callahan of
Berkeley county, drove from her house
gypsy who wanted to tell the for
tunes of the family. The gypsy in
going away remarked that Mrs Cal
lahan's husband would die in two
months. Just two months afterward
Mr.. Callahan did die. Mrs. Callahan
conceived the idea that her treatment
of the gypsy had something to do with
her husbands death and brooded over
it until she became violently insane
and was sent to the asylum Saturday.
The reports about the number of
cases of small pox at Brownsville and
other river towns as well as in the
vicinity of Uniontown are conflicting
but it is now generally admitted that

many cases have been exposed to the
well people in such way that hun
dreds of cases may develop. Every
one should be vaccinated to prevent a
spread of the disease.
NEAR Brink p. o. in Marion county
and only short distance from the
Wetzel county line, the South Penn
gave it's Elias Batson No. squib
and increased its production from 10
to 300 barrels day. This we'll was
drilled in less than a year ago, and
started at 400 barrels day and at
the time was the largest Big InJun
sand producer that had been found in
West Virginia. Its ready response to
a small shot shows that it is not dis
posed to quit.
OIL men are beginning to wonder
when the pipe men will arrive at the
conclusion that the price has been
pushed up high enough. Another 10
per cent was added Saturday, which
just about doubles the price of all
kinds of oil well pipe as compared
with the price that ruled this time
last year. Take the deep sand wells
in West Virginia, where each has tc
have more than mile of pipe in ii
before completion, and the additional
cost is no small item. Oil well sup.
plies of nearly every description have
advanced, but pipe and cables have
the lead.
