A BIT OF ROMANCE.
A West Virginia Girl Marries Her Sol
der Lover.

About month ago Miss Jennie
Fought, daughter of Thomas A.
Fought. of Writ county, left her home
to attend the Mountain State Bust
ness College in Parkersburg. Several
days went by and then week and the
father did not hear from his daughter.
1t was learned that she was not at
the business college and had not been
seen in Parkersburg. Those of her
friends who knew of her strange abb
sence became alarmed as time passed
with no word from her, but alarm
gave way to surprise few days ago
when a letter was received from her.
It was written at New Orleans and
conveyed the information that she
had been married there to Lewis e.
Black, a soldier in the regular army,
who had enlisted from Writ county.
He was teacher at Newark and one
of the best known young men of the
county and son of commissioner
Black.
lie resigned as teacher last winter
and enlisted in the army. Rumor has
it that an unfortunate lovers quarrel
was the cause of his leaving home.
After bis departure both regretted the
quarrel, correspondence was begun
which ended in this marriage to the
girl he loved, who travelled almost
across the continent to marry him.
She will remain with her husband un-
til his term of service ends and they
will then return to Writ county to
live.

A Winged Snake.

Brother Tippett has, we fear, en-
ployed the Parkersburg liar to do
business for him, as indicated BY
the following from this paper, which
heretofore carried its veracity far
above suspicion. He says:
Daniel Wetzel, the snake hunter,
was in town this morning, and told
of wonderful snake he had seen.
He described the snake as about
four feet long, with wings, and when
he approached to kill 1t, it spread
its wings and scared away. He said
the snake was as black as charcoal. )"

gala county, the South Penn Oil
Company has drilled In its No. 6, on
the E. Taught farm, and will have q
IS or 20-barrel producer The show
ing made by this well is in marked
contrast with this once famous Big
Injun sand Development When it
was opened some six or seven years
ago 800 and |, 000-barrel gushers were
Of frequent occurrence. All are still
producing, but have declined to a
very small daily output as compared
with their early days. The Jakes Run
district has produced large amount
Of oil. running up into hundreds OF
thousands OF barrels, and will con-
tinue to produce for many years to
come. The South Penn is drilling its
No. I, on the e. Taught farm, but,
like No. 6, it is located inside of de-
fixed limits.
In the Campbells Run deep sand
development, in the same county, the
South Penn Oil Company has drilled
In its No. A, on the Robert Wear farm,
and has show for light well. The
first "a hours gauge showed but IS

Other Notes.
President George G. Sturgiss was
asked about the results Of the meet
ing of the board of regents and what
they thought Of every thing in con-
nection with the University when
they had finished their inspection.
He stated that they had made COM
plete tour of the buildings and
grounds and had inspected the Exper-
mental Farm.
As a result they were very well
pleased with what they saw and com
plimented it very heartily. This was
especially true of the Music and Mill
tary departments which took the eye
Of the visitors. They expressed them
selves as very highly pleased With
these departments.
The outlook for next year is a very
bright one. Mr.. Barbe the travelling
agent states To the board that there
will without doubt be one thousand
students here before the end Of the
next University year and possibly be-
fore we get very far into the first
year of the next century
The board left orders in regard TO
the construction Of the new buildings.
The armory is to be finished first as it
is the smallest and needed for drill
purposes. 1t will be done by Decem-
Der first.
The location of the Library Build
ing has been changed and it will be
on the old graveyard lot on the cas-
tern side OF the road instead on the
old campus near the lower gate. The
building will hardly look as well as it
would among the trees but It will be
placed where it has been ordered.
The other two will go as first decid-
ed.
A contract for a large pipe organ
has been placed This has been
given to a Boston firm one of the lead
ing builders OF the United States and
it will be in after the first Of October.
The cost is to be fifty-four hundred
dollars. This will and much to the
interest Of all University affairs.
On the whole the board sees a great
deal of promise for the University and
even those of US who are out Of it can
see but one draw back to its future
growth of influence and standing.

THE apples are still falling off the
trees in great numbers and there are
now not one tenth Of the number that
were on the trees when the season be-
gan. The report Of the state crops
shows that this is true all over the

fine and that there will be little real
loss from what has fallen off. If the
falling stops soon enough of course
this will be true but it can't keep up
