Throughout the county, In the

Mr.. Sweeney Is well known In the
county and If he Is not elected will
give his opponent a pretty close
race. Mr.. Sweeney thinks now
his chances for election are splen-

and all others who can do so to give
him their support. He Is going to
do his very best to win out. He Is
competent, courteous, honest and
if elected will make a good officer.

RRvGH7 FALL AND WINTER IN VIEW FOR THIS CITY

one enterprise helps others and
makes work for all.
This new and certain addition to
our city means more school chill
dren to be educated. We predict
at least two hundred new pupils
will be added to our school and
they will be permanent scholars.
The Board of Education should get
into line and help the boom along
by ordering a vote to be held at the
coming fall election to Issue bonds
for another school building In this
city. We will need 1t next year
badly and can hardly expect to
keep our school going unless we
have more room. Our future look
bright and we have no doubt what
ever about the city being In time
many times larger than 1t IS now
and permanent.

THE OIL MARKET.

While drilling at their well on
the Ed Massey farm In the Ben's
Run field, Sclagel & Fried struck
oil In stray sand at a depth OF Is
feet.
There was II feet of this sand
and as there was a considerable
show of oil, the we'll would probably
have made a paying producer had
it been cased and pumped. The

ing capacity thorough test: 1t Is
a fine white sand, and Is OF about
the same quality as the Macksburg'
which Is found at depth of 500
feet.
In the same field, the South
Penn OIL company drilled In their
No. I on the Allen Wells farm last
Friday night, and have well that

joining territory. The talent Is very
much divided upon the line up Of

We are pleased to announce the
good news that Sistersville has Sc
cured another plant to manufacture
Window Glass. The money was
subscribed last night and the work
of organizing the company and
building the plant will begin at
once. Especial praise Is due to
Mr.. A. S. Mccoy and Mr., David E.
Thoenen for securing this plant.
Mr.. Mccoy took the matter up
with the foreign stockholders and
both gentlemen then went to work
aud raised the money necessary to
build and operate the plant.
The plant will be cooperative
Our people will have $4,000 of the
$4,000 capital stock of the COM
pany which will build the plant
and leave money enough to oper-
ate it. The other stockholders Will
be practical glass men, blowers
gathers, fatteners and cutters, who
will move here, assist IN building
and operating the plant. A charter
will be applied for at once and by
the 10th of September carpenters
will be at work erecting the plant
which will be substantially a du
plicate of the Sistersville Windo"
Glass plant which was built
in this city a year ago aud
which has given such general salts
faction to our people. 1t means
the permanent residence here of
from fifty to seventy five new
families and the new people will be
permanent residents and people
who In time will become taxpayers,
will build homes here and make
part of the city. It's a fine move,
one that we will all be benefited by
and adds to the permancy OF our
CITY in a way that will not be
downed by any adverse kicking.
1t means employment for tew
months for many carpenters. 1t
makes many more people who will
buy all the produce our farmers
can raise for miles around; 1t means
that every vacant house in the city
will be filled up; it means more PEG
who will buy groceries, clothing,
boots and shoes, dry goods and no.
tons, and subscribers to the news
papers. 1t means 10 the world, what
we have always preached, that when
the oil business died down here
our people would invest their
money here and build up a good

up and pushed through TO compile

one plant Is good for us, and we
know that 1t Is, two plants will be
better and we can get two with a
little effort. We must not allow
such fine proposition to get away
from us. We know how hard and
long we have worked to get plants
here without bonus and when we
get the opportunity to secure

duly located here.
