One OF the largest wells completed in
the West Virginia oil field for some
time was that OF the South Penn OIL
Company on the Pierpoint farm at "the
Jug" in the vicinity OF Centervllle, Ty-
Ter county. which was drilled in satur-
day evening. A report was received
from the well Sunday which stated that
II started of at the rate OF better than
15o barrels an hour and that It was
making little over 100 barrels Sunday
morning. The well Is located about four
miles from Mlddlebourne. in the terri
tory which was opened up about q year
ago by the South Penn drilling in well
on the Meredith farm. Since that time
a number OF wells have been completed,
some OF which have been good pro-
ducers. but dry holes have predominnted
AS a result Of the dry wells very little
was done during thelwlnter.
The South Penn people have a large
block OF leases on property in that Sec
tlon and going just beyond the line OF
dry holes drilled some time ago, they
drilled the well which mas Just come In,
The well Is only a short distance from q
number Of large gas wells and as has
been the history OF all gas fields In the
state. there is shown to be large pool

company drilled the well, though every

was against them. This well opens UP a
large amount OF new territory which
has not been tested heretofore, and
there is a possibility that n pool rivaling

McFadder-Harris Nuptials.
The Rock Hill Herald Of the 1G

The Rock Hill Herald Of the 10th
inst, says:
Yesterday morning at o'clock Miss
Bulah Harris, daughter of MIR. Andrew
Harris, of Anderson County. WAS mar
ricd in Rock Hill at the home OF her
brother, Rev. }. Ralr Harris, to Mr.. V.
Gordon McFadden, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
V. B. McFaddcn, the ceremony being
performed by the brides brother, as
sisted by Rev. Alexander Sprunt. The
marriage was quiet home wedding,
only the relatives Of the contracting
parties and q few friends being present.
After the ceremony the bridal party
drove to the Southern depot, where
Mr.. and Mrs McFadden boarded the
train for Columbia, where they will re-
main until Thursday, when they will
go to the home OF the brides father in
Anderson County. Thence they will
go to Clemson, where the groom was a
student, thence to Atlanta and then to
Rock Hill, where they will reside for
the present at the home OF Rev. j. Barr
Harris.
The groom was member Of Compa-
ny G.. First Regiment, where he was
highly popular and esteemed rs one OF
the best soldiers i'll the Regiment.
While at Chickamauga he attracted
the attention of General Sanger, who
made him an orderly on his staff. He
held this position until the Regiment
went to Jacksonville, where he was
made courier on the staff of General
Barkley.

Death Of Col. B. F. Browne.

The familiar form of Colonel b. r.
Browne will be seen no more on earth.
His tremulous voice will be heard no
more in the sanctuaries invoking dl-
vine blessings and aid. He has gone
from our sight; but we would tam
hope that his spirit, intrepid, passed
into the presence of its Creator and
heard the "well done' of the blessed
Saviour.
AS quietly as the falling of autumn
leaves death stole into his chamber
last Friday morning, and so silently
was the spirit freed from its mortal
coils that sleep only, mortality's en-
blem, appeared to envelop his facul-
ties. His wife had left his side only a
short time before to prepare breakfast,
and, returning, found the spirit fed.
Colonel Browne was sixty-tive years
old. son of the late Jerry Browne, and
descendant of gallant revolutionary
ancestors, who settled near this city
shortly after the close of that war.
The deceased grew to manhood IN the
neighborhood of did Ebenezer Church,
and from there went to Clarksville,
Ca, and entered the newspaper busl-
ness as editor of the Clarksville Eagle.
At the beginning of hostilities between
the North and South he raised COM
pany and entered the service IN the
9th Georgia Cavalry, as Captain OF his
company, served under Joe Wheeler
and took part in all of the notable cam
paigns of this famous leader. he
rapidly rose to the position OF Lleuten-
anti Colonel, and it was his regiment
that took the initiative in the bloody
fight at Chickamauga. He was later
put in command of 1000 picked men
and assigned to scout duty, which was
gallantly performed. Throughout the
war his conduct proved him to be a
faithful, brave and gallant soldier.
After the war the deceased married
in Georgia, and about twenty years
ago came to this city. The wife and
one son survive him. The most beau
tiful part OF the history of this brave
and gallant man is embodied in the
fact that he was q devout Christian.
From his boyhood he had been identi-
fed with the Methodist Church, and
his daily walk and conversation was in
keeping with the divine teachings he
cherished. Some years ago he was
ordained to preach, but he confined
himself to supplemental work.
The remains were inferred at Ebene-
ger last Saturday by the side OF the
graves of his ancestors. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. w.
r. Richardson.

Bolton Items.

Arb0r Day was observed here on
Monday instead of Friday as was cN-
pected. The steady down pour of rain
Friday precluded the possibility of any
outdoor exercises, and hence the post
poncment. Eleven nice water-oaks

work was done in and around the
school building, which adds much to
the general appearance of the place.
