The plan formed and passed at the mass
meeting yesterday, at Oil City, for (ha for
mation of a Producer's Protective Union,
meets tba hearty approval of alt tba oil
men In ibis scotion. All that now remains
la to csrry out the plsn In avery particular
to the letter and spirit,' and the result will
be a complete upsetting of monopolies In
this regloa. These men, backed up by the
leading railroads, asserted that the all men
bad not tba strength to fight monopolies.
They have found out that other men have
money and brains besides themselves, and
that tbey afa not tba man that made tbel
world, if they da control a' few miles of
railroad. But tba work Is not completed
yet. We must watch these villains else
they maj "put up euotbef job" to swindle
ns to (he tnna ot $8,000,000 per annum.
Every producer and business man should be
wary and watchful of these Till ains. Fore

Post, Dispatch, and other papers of that
city, appear to bava entered Into partner
ship with the Southern Improvement Com
pany !o slander and vllllfy the people and
interests of this region. It's queer bow
rogues do agree. The above newspapers
tickle np tba So. Im. Co., and tbat company
probably tickle the aewspapers with the
promise of flowing wells, B. S. refineries,
&C. A kind of mutual admiration society,
or something of that sort These papers
have a Urge circulation In this region, and
have always received a generous sup
port from the liberal people of the oil re
gion. This Is tba retnrn for suob kindness.
Oil producers and others can draw their
owa conclusions as to the course pursued by
these journals. Wa Incline to the opinion
tbat they are doing their "level beat" to
to aid the monopoly that now seeks our
ruin.

Stabbiko ArrAT. Two young bloods,
named respectively Gibson and Staver, who
wera attending common school at Rynd
farm, bad a dispute about some ink, called
each otber names, and when out of the
bouse Gibson made for Staver, who drew a
knile and cut him on the arm. Gibson theu
threw Staver, and was using the good arm
quite lively, when Staver Inflicted two
severe wounds in bis tblgb. Gitiion was
taken off, when Staver lit out lively, but
Gibson punned Mm fur several rods, when
be fell, exhausted from loss of blood. He
was taken in at John Wallace's, and Dr.
Westlake called. It was feared bia wounds
would prove fatal, but at last accounts was
considered out or danger. Tbey sre both
about 20 years of sge. The teacher re
signed ner.t morning. We understand be
was a lad about 17 years aid, and for some
time bas been unfit to bave charge of the
school, as be was afraid to chastise any ol
the small ones for fear the larger ones would
thrash bim. We think tba directors are
not without censure In regard lo this, as
tbey should have koowa better than to keep
such a teacher.
Our; townsman, Mr. Owen Gaffney, is
about to establish a wholesale liquor store

woald advlsn them to give him a call.
