Everything has the price cut for ten
days ut Ruskin Anderson's, Seneca.
And now comes w. NJ. Henry, who
lives near Seneca, with peculiar tale.
He says that on swampy section of his
farm, where he has been ditching, he
has discovered traces of some kind of
oil-the water looks oily, the rocks look
as though they had oil all over them,
Cne ground lS oily, ana roots OF CrceB
burn like pitch pine or oil-soaked wood
OF the latter he left several small pieces
that look like dead poplar, with no ap-
pearance of pitch pine, yet they burn
brightly while they blaze, and dying
looks like the pieces of spunk or punk
that everybody about town has used at
Christmas time to light fire-crackers
with. just what is wrong with the
wood we don't know--it is strange, to
say the least. Mr.. Henry thinks his
land is full of oil; that may be 30, and il
so, 1t may prove valuable to him; some
think the pieces of wood are rich pine
roots that have beon changed in appear
ance by the action of the soil, but with
enough trace of the pitch to burn
quickly; some think it is just ordinary
wood that has been soaked with oil Of
some kind for hoax, but Mr.. Henry
says If 1t is he knows nothing about it;
some say it looks like cypre. 8; some say
one thing and some another as to the
wood, but all agree that "it's darned
funny" Mr. Henry says the appear
ances of oil 90 beyond his line for some
distance on the swampy branch. He
thinks strongly of having the soil
analyzed to ascertain just what is pecul-
lar about it.
Don't fail to see me next Saturday.
I've got bargains. Ruskin Anderson.
