has cost the Standard Oil Companv
more money than in all other districts
within the tenacle of that gigantic
trust. This war was brought about
by the Standard Oil Co. refusing to
send into Winchester district good
grade OF oil, and Cooper Bros, whole
sale merchants there, undertaking TO
furnish their trade with the heat
grade of independent oil at a moder.

cost them little more; for. if ,he
trust ever drives out of business these
gentlemen, which has cost them SO

the price of oil to such extent as TO
recompense them for all the losses
inflicted by these independent deal

We hope there is some truth in the
following which is from a Winchester
correspondent: at is stated on the
best authority in Winchester TO-DAY
that the Southern railroad will ex-
tend its line from Snickersville
through Winchester to the coal fields
of West Virginia. At present the
Southern have no coal beds nearer
than Alabama, and it has been
known for long time that they de-
sired to have coal-felds nearer than
this. The route which will be used
is a survey of the old Loudoun and
Hampshire road. Some time ago a
corps of engineers resurvsyed this
route ostensibly in the interest of the
"Bismark Railroad Company" tits
now believed that the engineers were
in the employ of the Southern Rail
road Company"
