a very pretty home wedding was
celebrated last evening at the resi-
dence of Mr.. VIM. S. Myers, the well
known dairyman, who resides south OF
town. The principals were Mr.. My
ers' only daughter, Miss Sarah Emma,
and Mr.. j. d. Miller, the popular
school teacher in the Riverview dis
trict. The Rev. J. r. Rankin, of the
Wegee circuit oficiated in the presence
of guests representing the immediate
friends of the contracting parties.
Both young people are well n favor
ably known and a host of friends will
extend hearty congratulations upon
this, their nuptial event.
Hartman & Mcbride, who purchas-
ed the oil interests of the Big sour
Company at Glencoe, have been sue
cessful in removing the casing from
the Orr we'll No. 2. This well has
never been shot and a load OF one hum
dred quarts Of glycerine is now resting
in the bottom of the hole. Owing TO
the casing being badly mashed it was
impossible to set the shrot off, but that
obstacle having been removed, the
chances for bringing the well out right
are good. A second and smaller shot
will be lowered to within a few feet OF
the first one and exploded with the
purpose of setting both off. Orr NO. 2
is looked upon as the most promising
venture in the field and good produc-
ton is expected from it.

long service as fireman on the POW
hatan accommodation. has been pro-
moted to engineer and will be trans
farrad tn the main line of the Penn
svlyania road. He is moving MIS-
household effects to Wellsville, where
his family will reside for the present.
MIR. Weigel is the sort of a man tnat is
'~certain to rise in the estimation OF MS
company.

fracture of the handle bars, which
would indicate it is more liable to ac-

There were ten in the party Inc an

for.
Among the industries of this section
that is enjoying a boom just at present,
but which receives little public mention,
is the Crown Cement Company, located
south Of the city. The plant is turning
out one hundred barrels of product
daily and is giving steady employment
to a score or more of hands. The fact
that the cement is being largely used
by the B. & O. Company in the con
struction Of masonry and a number of
other railroad companies should attest
its qualities for hydraulic purposes.
The material is quarried, burned and
ground on the spot, and these excellent
natural advantages are certain to make
the industry assume greater proper
tions here in the future.
County Commissioners T. B. Smith
and Geo. NJ. Wise passed through the
city yesterday, returning from an in
spection of the new bridge just COM
pleted at Glencoe. This bridge was
badly needed and the new structure
will be greatly appreciated by the
travel in that locality. Another
bridge, which is claiming the attention
OF the commissioners, is the one to be
constructed over the creek at Powhat-
an. Proposals for the structure are
already being advertised for. The
Canton Wrought Iron Co., built the
bridge at Glencoe.
Some very good railroad snapshots
are being exhibited by James Nelson,
manager of the local Western Union
office. One of the pictures is a very
realistic reproduction Of C. l.. & w.
