DRUNKARDS
Break Into and Take Possession of
School House.

Good Hope, Dec. 30.-We have heard
Of Childrens' Homes and Homes for
the lncurableS. but when it comes to
. school house being converted into a
home for drunkardS to sober up in, as
was the case Ut the Post school house
from Il III. To u. m, Christmas morn
ing. goes rather beyond our depth.
The door being locked, an ensyance
was forced 1--WE SUPPOSED by battering
ON the door with some heavy body, or
substances, probably rail or rock.
The catch was broken of and the
lower panel bursted out, There being
but one panel in the door at the lower
end. They made the stove so hot
that the bowl is cracked almost all the
way around, and the floor literally
strewn with coal, tobacco guilds and
spittle. No further damage was dis
cernible and proof is wanting in the.
punishment Of the offenders, notwith
standing a clue. This school house
has been the nightly quarters at inter
walls for tramps and card players for
the last several years, to say nothing
OF two or three dozen window glass
which we're shot out with revolvers
and target rifles. Since the late
drunken carousal, the trustees and
patrons seem To think they nave Just

Judge 0off and Mr.. Lowndes Will
Supply the City With Natural
Gas From Their Wells in
This Section.
Artificial Gas System Will be Used tor -. ~
pose---Most Complete in the City---prices
Will be Reduced-LiveIy Competition.

Clarksburg IS to have another
natural gas system and the time is not
iar distant it seems when fuel viii be
virtually given away as the result Of
competition among the companies
operating.
The Clarksburg Gas Company, in
which Judge Nathan Gofr and r. T.
Lowndes are largely interested, will
take an important step in that direc-
tion, or at least it is SO semi-officialiy
stated. This company has the most
complete and largest pipe line In the.
city. 1t has nearly every street piped-
1t will be an easy matter to convert
the system into a natural gas system.
The cost of making artificial gas is so
great that prices have necessarily had
TO be high. There has not been war
Tanted profit in the operation of that
system. A natural gas system can be
operated much more cheaply and is
just as satisfactory, especially since
the company has its own wells and
pays 50 little for the cost OF produc-
ton
Since Judge Golf and Mr. Lowndes
have been operating in the oil fields
and developing the.r own territory
they have drilled in several gas wells.
These wells are in the gas belt and
have a 9ne flow aud pressure. They
are OF convenient access to Clarksburg
and these would be small expense in
piping The gas to this city. These
wells number from eight to ten and
have an inexhaustable supply. Be
sides these gentlemen own q vast
scope Of undeveloped gas territory
almost within the corporation and
can look forward TO hunared years
to supply clarksburg with natural
gas
This movement will make. gas cir
eles quite active and will prove bene-
fetal in several ways to the risy, one
Of which will be large reductions in
price.

Buried With the Gopher.

Amos Green a worthy colored man,
who conducted a farm in the vicinity
of Alachua, decided he wanted to eat
some gopher, and accordingly went i'm
search of his game. This was on Fri
day morning, and when he did not re-
turn on the following day his good
wife and family naturally became
alarmed, and, with a few neighbors, in
stituted a search. After a couple of
hours one OF the searching party dis
covered the mans legs extended from
the ground, his body and head being
buried. With the shovel which Green
had carried with him, the earth was
soon removed, and when he was re-
leased from his bondage it was discov-
cred that one hand was still tightly
grasping a gopher's leg at the bottom
Of the hole. 1t is supposed that Green
attempted to dig his game out of it's
abode, and when a sufficient quantity
of earth had been excavated had gone
in after the game head first, expecting
to capture it and pull it out The
earth, being soft, at once gave way.
and the man suffered the terrible ex-
perience of being buried alive. 1t is
supposed he had been dead about TWEEN
ty-four hours.
