GAINESVILLE OIL News.

After many weary weeks of waiting,
hard work, argument, doubt and mis-
givings all the leases in the block south
of town as required by the company,
with the exception of three or four
have been secured, and as soon as these
four sign up the first actual step in the
development of our coal fields will be
taken, by the shipment of core drills to
this city.
1t doesn't seem possible that these
three or four gentlemen will stay out
and by staying out defeat this great
public enterprise, which should it sue
coed would bring into their poke is
thousands Of dollars they would not
otherwise get. 1t is a matter of bust
ness with them and not one of patriot
ism and it is a business opportunity
which should not be neglected, because
if lost now may never return.
The company is very anxious to close
the matter up at once because by the
terms of the coal lease they must begin
core drilling within six months or the
ton are liable to occur, trains may be
wrecked, bad weather prevail, and
many other things may happen to delay
Ul0 WORK. IL Is UIl6FtlOFO
that the company get the required
leases as soon as possible. And they
will not 60 ahead until all the leases in
the block are secured.
This surely is an epoch in the history
of the town, An opportunity is here
presented for business Improvement
and advancement for the town and
surrounding country far beyond the
fondest dreams of few years ago. And
this opportunity comes to us without
money and without price, all we have
to do is to reach out our hands and re-
ceive it.
The News looks forward to the future
with confidence and hope, as it knows
that those gentlemen in the block who
as it happens have not yet signed are
too good business men to allow this
great opportunity to fail on their

The personal bondsman is fast
becoming obsolete; the risk to pri-
vate fortune is too great.
The corporate bond is just as rap.
idly supplanting the old form; and,
In time, men will marvel that thew

danger of personal suretyship.
In point of safety, convenience and
propriety, there can be no COM
parison between the two; the one
is Just as weak and perilous as the
other is strong and safe.
The time is near when it will be
thought as reasonable to borrow
the key of friends safe as to
borrow his name for surety pur.

FIX 1t at Home.

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the
following advice by an eminent au
hority, who writes for readers of
large eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one, ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake these well in a bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
II is claimed that there ale few
victims Of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple home made mix.
ture, aud IN most cases a perma.
nent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina.
tive tissues Of the kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste mailer, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man and,
woman who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble
Whatever, should not hesitate to
make up this mixture, as it is GER
tain to DO much good, and may save
you from much misery and suffering
after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

With this issue THE WEST VIR-
GINA ARGUS begins new volume
and also marks the completion of
the present arrangements first
year in Preston county. The first
thing we wish to do is to thank
those who have aided us in max
ing TINS paper a success. Those
friends are many, and it would be
almost impossible to go, to each
one separately, SO we take this
means of thanking them all at
once.
In regard to our policy for the
coming year there is not much TO
say, THE ARGUS is Democratic
newspaper and as such believes in
supporting the party and not the
individuals. In all things we are
for Preston county in general and
Kingwood in particular, first, last,
and all the time.
Our work will be to print a
newspaper, and to print all of the
news all of the time. We certain
ly appreciate your patronage and
by our work during the coming
year hope to merit a continuance
of the same.

Many inquiries have been made
why the Journal don't call atten-
ton to the reduction in taxation
for the year 1907. It is probably
due TO the fact that it does not
want to expose its ignorance.
