The feaeibility of making a large city out of this little hamlet seems very improbable, in view of the fact that the producers in the oil fields jare not as promising as when the (aio Virginia February 14, 1845, and camejfleja Was Rileyville is first struck. mprely a sidetrack on the Bur now mj»re]y •been a resident ever since.
