Advertising Means Enterprise,
So indispensable do the leading busi-
ness concerns consider newspaper ad-
vertising, so generous is their use of
newspaper space, that the people natur-
ally conclude that any establishment
which does not advertise is lacking in
enferprise ; and few care to deal with
a house which lacks enterprise,

Big Strike of Oil Is Made at St, Marys
During the past ten days 47,000 acres
of land has been leased near Baint
Marys, for the purpose of drilling
for oil. Twenty wells have been drilled
under the direction of Hall and Kaul,
As fast as completed the holes were
plugged and this naturally led the pub-
lic to believe that they were dusters.
A well located close to Bt. Marys has a
flow of tWenty barrels of oil per day
and the fact revealed that the town is
" the centre of an entirely new oil field.

Lightning Kills Stock.
One night last week lightning struck
a tree on the farm of William H. Wea-
ver, south of Murray's school house,
in Gregg township, and killed five
milch cows and two bulls that had
taken shelter there. Six of the ani.
mals belonged to Mr. Weaver, and one
to Mr. Miller, a brother-in-law, who
occupies the dwelling house on the
farm. Mr. Weaver had insurance to
the amount of fifty dollars, but that
sum covers but a small fraction of the
loss,

Armed Negro Frightens Girls,
Mary Cisney and Minnie Crownover
twelve and fourteen years old, were at-
tacked by a negro one mile west of
Huntingdon, Thursday of last week,
as they were gathering flowers,
The negro made improper proposals,
which caused the girls to seream and
run. The negro pursued the girls with
drawn revolver, but gave up the chase
on being observed by railroad men,
Later the brute was captured at
Petersburg after desperate resistance,
From letters in his pocket, it is sup-
posed his name is John Freeman,

A Thrilling Experiance,
Frank Eckenroth, formerly of Pleas
ant Gap, had a thrilling experience
while gilding the cross on the German
Reformed church, on Fourth Street,
above Fairmount Avenue, Philadel
phia. Instead of using scaffolding, Mr,
Eckenroth resorted to the use of rope
and tackle, and after working for a
half day suspended three hundred feet
in the air, he attempted to lower him
self, when he discovered that the rope
had become ‘choked’ in the pulley,
At great risk of life the young man
hung for an hour until a second rope
wan hoisted to him in response to a
_ note which reached its destination by
~, being fastened between the blades of a
* knife and dropped to the walk.
THE WEATHER,
Oomparison of Raln Fall
the Present,
from April to
Fhe present dry condition of the soil
is the subject of considerable discus-
sion by the farming class and the ob-
server of weather conditions, The
average person considers the past sea-
son an unusually wet one, but when
comparison is made with the same
period during 1908, it will be found
that during that season the rain fall
fas only thirty-eight hundredths of an
inch short of the precipitation during
the correspording period in 1904. The
comparison, in detail, is noted below ;
