The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1901-10-25

Mr. and Mrs H. B. Terrill of Bridge
port passed Sunday with Mr. Terrill's
sister, NJ ISIS Emma Terrill.
Way back in the time when William
H. Barnum was president of the Housa-
tonic railroad, he suggested to Aaron
Sanford, then high sheriff, that it
would be good idea if the patrons of
the Newtown station built a few sheds
for teams. Mr. Sanford spoke to the
late Marcus G. Hawley and others and
the result was that half dozen sheds
were built. Ten years later at the sug-
gestion of the railroad people the sheds
were removed. MrSanford had two of
them drawn up to place in his pas
ture lot some 500 feet in the rear Of
his barns. Mr. Sanford is now having
these sheds taken down and put up
near his horse barn.

AN APPEAL
TO the Young Men and Women
Of Harrison County.

A few days, at most, will be the
close of the county schools of Harrison
county. Many teachers and those who
expect to teach are now planning to
enter some higher school of training
than their neighborhood affords. In
Weighing this important question,
such things as distance, expense, grade
Of school, church advantages and the
sociability Of the people must all be
considered before you can make the
best choice.
Certainly the distance from any
point in Harrison county would not
keep any one from entering the Fair
mont normal school. Now, as to ex-
penses: Board can be obtained for
from 50. rs to $500 per week. No tut
zion; and text books furnished at cost.
The expenses for the spring term of
IL weeks need not exceed $40.
The faculty of this school is compos'
ed of thestrongest teachers that could
be obtained by the Board of Regents.
Principal, j. Walter Rarnes, who
heads the teaching force, has been con-
nected with the school since 1885, and
is most assuredl.y an important factor
in the normal school world. NJ. G.
Tough, whoholds the second chair,
was schooled at the Buckhannon Sem
mary, Denison University and the w.
va. University. TT. Humphrey, the
king of mathematics, received his train
ing at this schooland the State Uni
yersity. w. G. Miller, the teacher in
science and. mathematics, has held
several responsible school positions
with the best of results. Mable Hen
shaw Gardner, Maude Potts and G. W.
Waddella are excellent teachers.
Miss Burning, teacher Of Elocution
and Oratory, who halls from Cincin-
nBti, handles her work admirably.
This department has grown to be very
popular since she has been here.
The music department under the
skillful management of Miss Ella
Fordyce is also doing good work.
j. Hugh Bowers, who is a graduate
OF this school and a student OF the
University, has been chosen as an ex-
ira teacher for the'sprlng term.
Teachers reviews in the common
school branches will be made special
feature for all who expect to teach.
The school property is worth from
S75, 900 to SlOO, 900. 1t has one of the
best Laboratories in the State, Ii
brary of more than 5000 volumes and
q, 900 to spend for books this year. 1t
has two excellent literary societies,
which meet every Friday evening,
proving to be one of the best features
ofschool.
More than half the counties in the
State are now represented; hence give
ing a large circle Of acquaintance
throughout the State.
For several years Harrison county
has furnished more students to this
normal than any other county except
Marion. Let US not fall short this
wear, but increase rather.
Gonsidering the high standing of this
School, with its excellent faculty, its
well selected library and reading
room, it's advantages both to a normal
and academic course OF study, and
with less expenses everything consid-
cred than any other school in the State,
can you afford to miss the spring term
which begins March 18th? Can you
lind better advantages at any other
school in State Hoping to see a large

KILLBUCK'S GASSER
Was o Surprise to OIL Opera
tors, Who Expected to SEQ
q Promising Gusher.

There is excitement in the Kill
buck oil field in Holmes county be-
cause the first gasser in the history
of the territory was brought in late
Monday afternoon. 1t is good well
and has enough pressure to supply the
town.
The we'll was drilled west of the vii
lage by Tate e Hope Brothers, and
men acquainted with the field conf
IDENTIFY expected it to come in an oil
producer. 1t was in the new territory,
however, and the fact that gas and
not oil is pouring from the well opens
the possibilities for further develop
ment in that vicinity. Until the pres
ent time, every hole drilled in the Kill
buck field has brought forth oil, and
a number of them are being pumped
and the oil shipped, but there has
been little gas.
The rock pressure Of the Tate well
cannot be told at present, but the
news comes over the telephone that
1t is of sufficient force to supply every
fireplace in Killbuck and have gas tc
spare.
Another we'll will be put down or
the lease before winter appears tt
hamper drilling operations. The
drillers, however, hope this time tt
find oil. They are too far from market
for gas to be very valuable.
