Is Natural Gas Coming?

By reference to our advertising col.
umns it may be seen that the Inter.
state Natural Gas Company, by its at
torueys, Bellzhoover & Beltzhoover,
has applied to the council Of Shep-
herdstown for a franchise enabling 1t
to lay itspipe lines in this city for the
purpose Of furnishing natural gas for
lighting, heating, etc. We have no
doubt that the franchise will be grant
ed, for this would be a wonderful boon
to Shepherdstowp. Natural gas is
one of the greatest comforts and con-
veniences of modern times, and We
hope that our town may realize the
use of such luxury. The Interstate
Company is .aid to be backed by the
Standard OIL Company. 1t proposes,
soft is reported, TO run pipe lines
from the gas fields of central West
Virginia to Washington and Balti-
more, and Shepherdstown seems to be
on the line Franchises have also
been asked for in RomneY, Martins
burg. Charles Town and other towns
between Cumberland and Baltimore.

glasses of white or red wine, and he
said:
There is a man drinking whole

is amazing what a capacity for liquor
some men possess. And the man with
