that business. In June, 1900 little more than a

fashioned square well few feet to the north and
just in the rear OF the plant At the depth Of thirty
feet an unpleasant odor of gas was noticed issuing
from the WELL and upon digging five feet deeper,
water struck so strongly impregnated with oil,
naptha and gasoline that the well was covered up
with boards and abandoned as unfit for use.

ever undertaken in West Tennes-
see second to none, whether

in this county. Obion now stands
among the first counties in the
State in agriculture, probably
first or second in point Of produc
ton, and if there ever was a press
ing need it is the building of good
roads. This has already been un-
dertaken in q small way, but the
systematic construction of modern
highways, like those in some of
the provinces of Europe and
Northern States, has not reached
us yet. Every delegate should
attend this convention, and pre-
pare to instill into the minds of
the people and inspire the farmers
with the Importance of this work.

building. The funds will be appro-

When the building is completed
