RECALLED with free trip to Concord, N. II. f,
TO vote, including cigars, etc., ETC., all at

anticipating that gorgeous biennial excur-

this year he began to get uneasy and day
or two ago wired the committee collect to
know when they required his presence. In
an hour or two he received from the tele-

and now John is bewailing the loss OF his
usual picnic and thirty-four cents expense
for wiring added. The only entry in his
profit column is one five cent cigar contrib

The Parkersburg Sentinel hiss the
following which is of interest to Ma
rletta readers:
An electric railway to run from Ma
rietta to Portsmouth is projected and
ther are some indications that it may
be constructed. Rights of way In the
vicinity of Belpre have been secured
and those who are in touch with the
projectors say 1t will be built.
Tom L. johnson, the great steel
maker and street railway man, states
man and politician, of Cleveland, o..
is said to be back fthe project and
active work on the road Is said to be
delayed only while swaitin gthe action
fthe state railroad commissioners.
The plan is for the road to start at
Marietta, to run to Belpre, Porter
field, Little Hooking and Coolville,
and thence by a route not yet made
public, to the Ohio river at Ports
mouth.
Rights of way from Belper to Por-
terfeld have been secured quietly and
1t is probable that other rights of way
have been secured which the Sentinel
does not know Of.

The we'll on the Gedel farm near the
chair factory was put to pumping Sat
urday and is producing to an extent
fully up to the expectations Of its
owners. During the first twenty-four

barrels and it is still holding up to a
good figure. 1t is expected to settle
down to fifty barrels per day as a
steady production.
The well opens new field in this
section and the land in the neighbor-
hood is rapidly being taken up by op-
