Washington Building Lime Artesian Well

At Bakerton. The Washington Building Lime Company is sinking its artesian well at Bakerton, this county, to a greater depth. As the demand for water becomes larger the present supply fails to meet the requirements. So the well-borers have gotten to work, and Superintendent Bratt says they are going to have plenty of water if they have to go to China for it. Mr. Charles E. Jones, who resides near Kearneysville, has contracted to furnish the Washington Building Lime Company with several thousand cords of wood for use at its Bakerton kilns. The wood is loaded on the cars at Kearneysville and shipped by rail to Bakerton.

The new postoffice at Bakerton has treated itself to a new outfit. A fine case has been set up, with sufficient boxes for the use of all who get their mail at that place. It is a handsome piece of furniture, but the best part of it is that Postmaster Engle doesn’t charge any box rent. All the boxes are free.

Mr. Jesse A. Engle, Jr. the postmaster and manager of the store, is authorized to receive subscriptions to the REGISTER. Hand in your name to him and get a good paper for a year.
