covered m Texas. The land pur-
chased includes Bulger's knob.
which shows unmistakable surface
Indication Of oil; indeed; ii is well
10 remark here that some of the
oldest citizens Of the parish, whose
reputation for veracity is unques-
toned, says that very often stfad-
dle-bugs while crawling over the
crest of the knob slip and frac-
ture their forward Or aft rollers
and have to he pushed to the re-
pair shop by other and more for
tunate bugs that mercifully per-
form the work Of shunting engines
1t is also said tllat the black, oozy
earth on this valuable piece Of
land is 50 fall Of oleoaginous mat,
ter that farmers coming into Co
vington with wagons have been
known to Gil a bucket with the
dirt to nse as axle grease.
Everything considered, there is
much reason TO believe that the
st. Tammany Oil and Lung Com
pany is destined to be one Of the
most successful and prosperous
enterprises launched in this Sec
ton of country since the days of
the civil war. The idea Of COM

is in itself most attractive, and
will appeal strongly to the Victims
of pulmonary ailments who reside
in tho cold and bleak regions of the
North. The prospectus in.eloquent
language willtelI Of the health
giving qualities cf the ozone in the
balmy brsezes that sweep through
het tops of the tall pines and cause
them to sigh softly like che. strings
of an aenlian harp, and alsoitwill
graphically describe the sparkling
mineral springs which bubble out
Of the bosom of mother earth like
fountains of purest CRYSTALS. The
that there viii be-
no extra charge for ozone or
spring water, and that the stock
'of theSt. Tammany Oil and Ltfhg
Company will be sold at 81 per
share, will cause the consumptive
to make a rush to get in on the
ground floor. The prospects Of
having their sore lungs healed by
the ozone treatment and at the
same time making fortune in oil
will work like charm.
They can sit out in the golden
sunshine for which st. TammanyI
is famous and breathe ozone and
drink mineral water strongly inn
pregnated with the flavor of spoil
ed eggs and watch the drill as IL
slpwly goes down into the bowels
Of Bulgcr's knob. The more
frequently they sit the better it
will thus be afforded for the drill
ers to strike at short intervals
stratas Of hard rock which will
necessitate the board Of directors
levylng assessments on the stock
holders in order to purchase new
and more improved machinery
With which to sink the gusher un-l
