Should the reported coal develop
ment in the northern end of the
county be borne out by the facts, it
will do much toward contributing to
the future welfare and growth of that
section besides adding greatly to the
wealth of that favored region. The
corporation having the development
of the coal in hand commands unlim-
tied capital and if work is begun it
will be on a large scale.
Randolph county, West Va, citi-
zens are convinced that the county is
rich in oil, and that the recent test at
Montrose disclosed that fact, but that
the well was plugged as a specula-
ton. Another test is to be made, and
expectations run high. Senator Ell
kins and ex-senator Davis are sup
plying funds for the investigation.
The snowstorm which prevailed
over this section Saturday, Sunday
and Monday was one of the hardest
experienced in recent years. Accom-
panying the snow was heavy wind
which drifted the roads to a depth of
from five to ten feet, particularly in
the northern end of the county, rem
dering them impossible. In the
Grantsville country traffic on nearly
all roads was effectually stopped and
the Jennings railroad was "out of
business for day or two.
The newspaper has two sources of
income, space and circulation. The
circulation comes from the manage
ment and brains of the newspaper
says the Streator ull.0 NeOS. The
advertising is result of the circula-
ton and is the heavy source of in
come. Whenever an individual or
society or company gets a notice that
benefits them the notice has a market
value and should be paid for, but too
often the press is expected to give the
space for complimentary ticket and
if it is an entertainment go and write
it up and puff the people who take
part. If newspaper men would de-
mand cash for their space the public
would pay it and be well satisfied.
The farmer who is satisfied with
sailed pork instead of the sugar cured
article is onto living up to his oppor-
tunities, says an exchange. Any
farmer who has hogs to kill can have
sugar cured pork if he wants it. The
hams, shoulder and side meat should
each have separate barrel for best
results. For each one hundred pounds
of meat take ten gallons of water,
eight pounds of salt, four pounds of
brown sugar and one ounce of salt
peter; boil all together and let cool.
Rub meat with fine salt, pack closely
in a barrel and weight down. Leav-
ing it in brine six weeks makes it
all right for eating and then it is lift
ed, drained and smoked. After that
it is good enough for king or any
body.
By reference to our advertising col
umns it will be noticed that within
short time application will be made
to the Board of County Commission
ers for the appointment of viewers to
view and relocate certain portions of
the Accident Friendsville road. This
road is used probably more than any
other thoroughfare within the bord-
ers of Garrett county. Its location
could not be worse, the grades being
