Gas
Engines

How many people, when
buying gas engines stop to
consider complicatiousaThere
are few. If they would only
investigate the different max
es before deciding on the pur-
chase. there would be fewer
repair shops over the land.
A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with
a lot of inventions, most
people say, "That must be a
good engine. Well, they
buy 1t. In a little while, to
keep 1t going, they com.
mence to tinker, and the
more time and money spent
the more she gets out Of
whack. Then they real.
lie that 1t takes an expert
to do anything with 1t. Now
If they had OILY bought a
simple engine. one that they
thought would not run be-
cause 1t did not have a lot of
fctures, they could have
avoided the expense and de-
lay.
Our advice to you Is to not
overlook the "Stoner" when
you are thinking of buying
an engine, as we can prove to
you that 1t Is the simplest en-.
CINE built, and we feel salts.
fed that 1t will give you but
very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner"
as 1t gives them but little
work.

Editor OIL Review.
DEAR SIR Il want to ask you a
few questions In the interest OF the
county In general, and In the inter
est of Ellsworth district In par.
ticular.
1st, Has Tyler County County
Court, If so Is 1t their duty to look
after irregularities and violations of
road laws after their attention has
been repeatedly called to the same.
end, Is it the duty of the prose
cutting attorney to work for the
best interests of the county, or to
work for one or two individuals
who have flagrantly transgressed
the road laws detrimental to the
best interests Of the people and
beneftting one or two?
3rd, Is 1t the proper thing or
can a man be appointed to the Of
fee of Supervisor OF roads who can
neither read or write and who has
violated the most common road
laws. A man who fenced up an
old established road, moved a bridge
took the old road into his door
yard all without any authority from
the County Court, at least the court
disclaimed any knowledge of the
transaction until after II was all
done. 1t now breaks ont that a
private letter from the prosecuting
attorney was the authority tor the
breach of common law-hence l
ask these question.
Last September I wrote a letter
to the president of the county
court In the interest of several
citizens asking what had been or
what was there going to be done
about this road matter and will give
YOU the reply of J. B. Riggs verba-
tum.
BEARsvILLE,W. VA SEPT 1898
w. w. PosT,
Bird, w Va.
DEAR SIR: YOURS of the 10th
Inst. received and In reply will say
that while the court would not want
your rights or your liberty inter.
fered with by any one nor would
they want the road overseer to do
any thing that would cause extra
expense to the county In the road
business (for we think the expense
already too large) but If your sur
veyor does things that are not right
and goes contrary to law the only
thing that would know to do
would be to have him indicted
which would come before the cir
cult court.
Yours,
J, B. RIGGS.
Now Riggs knew that there had
been no petition, no revlew,no sur
vey of this road, and the court had
been petitioned to come out and
look the new road over and If In
their opinion 1t would be a better
road than the old one or save the
county any mouey then the peo-
pie would say amen to 1t, but thew
did not come and when asked by
letter Riggs lodges the Issue and
wants some surveyor indicted. Now
we helped elect these men and
think we of this district have some
claims on them and all we ask Is
fair deal do their duty without fear
or favor. They cannot lay the
blame on a surveyor for there was
none neither can they claim 1t was
done by consent, of the overseer
for he has repeatedly said In the
presence of citizens that he opposed
| 1t Now I ask again, "Is there a
County Court? If so do they do
their duty.
Yours for fair dealing and by
request of Citizens of Wolf Pen,
Ellsworth district.
