known generally as a glass wedding.

lifeof perpetual bliss and happiness.
At the instigation of their neiglbor,

golden sun had hidden his brillancy
behind the western hills, the friends
Of this happy couple began TO assemble
reaching rs in all. John, the elder
son, with his best girl headed the list
with a beautiful present in the shape
Of a cake stand. Elias Radclitfe,'who
boasts himself as the Oldest bachelor

The occasion was enlivened bygood

u. = I
Salem Industrial prosperity is still
maintained, and the hope Of her citi-
zens will yet be realized In seeing the
town the center Of the largest oil field
In the State. Three events in con-
nection with the local oil development
may be OF interest The South Penn
company has madeEa location on the
Chas. Huston place miles west Of
town, The Fearless OIL company will
have pipe line laid this week to their
weldon the head Of Halls Run. The
Carter OIL company is making an eff
fort 10 drill deeper their well on the
Camden tract on Robinson's Run, 5
miles north Of Salem. The gas pres
sure is so strong in this well that it is
with diiilcultyEthat they can drill.
Another matterof general interest
is Salem's prospectsof getting another
railroad, "The B. & o. Short Line"
to the Ohio river. The route and
plans for this road we're exclusively
described In the Telegram Of recent
date. A number Of civil engineers
are now surveying the distance from
Salem to st. Mays, to determine the
distance, elevations and general lay of
the country, through which the pro-
posed road will run. The most prac-
tical routes seems to be by the way of
Robinson.Fork or Flint and Nc Elroy
creek, as previous surveys have shown
these to be very practical routes, and
of easy construction, as not more than
one tunnel will be required.
The heavy freight traffic over the
Parkersburg branch for the past four
years, demands that either the road
be made double track or the proposed
shorter route to the river be built,
and the expense Of widening the pres
ent track with Its 20 tunnels between
Salem and Parkersburg would be
much more expensive than the new
road, and the new route would avoid
the heavy bridge tax that the b. & o.
pays for the use OF the Parkersburg
bridge that the company does not own.
We readily see the wisdom of the b.
q o. officials in deciding to construct
this new road or branch.
The revival meeting at the First
Baptist church, conducted by the pas

secrated and successful pastor. The
