Belmont County Neighbor.

1t will be good news for all citizens
of the city to learn that there as a
movement on foot t. start the old
Aetna glass house again. The pro-
meters are the business men Of the city,
and already almost enough stock has
been subscribed to insure success. This
plant until recently was operated by
the Bellaire Bottle Company, and is in
good condition, and if the new COM
pany is a go, it will be a bottle house.
