freight train extra 668, eastbound,
was about one mile west Of Louisa
the crew, consisting Of engineer
fireman and brakeman. all new to
the road, was treated to first
class sensation. Just as the train
reached this point westbound n.
ard w. special. with a big electric
headlight came tearing along. The
peculiar curves OF both reads caus-
ed the light from the N. and w. en-
gine to strike the G. and o. track
in such a way that it made the
fireman and head breakman to
think they were about to have =
head-on collision and they yelled to
the engineer that they were meet
ing a rain on the main line. Both
jumped, but the engineer stuck to
his cab and threw on the emergency

GAS FOR PAINTsvMLE.

Paintsville, KY, Jan. 25.-The John
son County Gas Co., headed by w,
]. Rowland, of Pittsburg, has COM
pleted the work of laying pipes, and
has turned ON the supply of gas for
Paintsyille. They ran line to
Paintsville from the mains Of the
Central Kentucky Natural Gas Com
pany, which extends from Inez, KY,
to Lexington, touching Mt. Sterling
and Winchester, and is now working
toward Paris and Frankfort.
Many of our citizens are COM
planning about the exorbitant price
OF 35 cents per 1000 feet allowed
by the charter granted to this COM
pany, and several are refusing to
use gas. 1t is fatal mistake for a
council to grant such privileges as
are given in our gas and water fran
chises.

Leasing AGAIN.
Oil Men Taking Up Local Ter
TitDTy That Was Abandoned.
Big Well at Camel City. Morgan
County. Breaks Kentucky
Record.

The interest in oil matters con-
tinues to be very good in this To-
cality. The price of oil in Kentucky
has just been increased five cents
more. making the price 1929 per
barrel. In other states the Pennsyl-
vania grade is now bringing $2.2O
having been increased 4 cents this
week.
The well on Tabor's creek, about
three miles northeast of Louisa, Is
now about 1000 feet deep.
Leasing is very active on the
West Virginia side of the river for
six or seven miles back from Fort
Gay 1t is reported that the price
paid Is as high as three dollars an
acre in some instances.
On the Kentucky side of the riv-
er the Wayne and Guyan Oil COM
panies are again taking up large
acreage. Several tracts on the
Point" have been leased and also
some on Two Mile creek below Lou
lisa.
1t is said contract has been let

farm on Two Mile. Also, new To-
cation for well is reported to
have been made on the Betty Pigg
branch near Busseyviille.

improved considerably by a second
shot and will be given another in a
Few days.
The last well drilled by the Ohio
Fuel Oil company at Busseyyille is
showing up nicely and will be one
of the best in that locality.
The Louisa Coal company's vel
near Busseyville is small produc.

On the whole the outlook for de
yelopment around Louisa is very
bright. All are convinced that the
main pool in this field has not yeI
been found. 1t is almost certain t.
be established during the mex
