The English Sparrow.

The English sparrow has be-
come full-grown nuisance to the
farmers and gardeners through
this country and unless some
plan of determination is discover
ed there is no telling to what end
they will bring trouble. They
not only destroy seeds and young
plants but infest houses churches
and other buildings and cause
filth, mites, etc. 1t would be a
good plan for the towns and VIII
lagos to offer one cent for every
sparrow head and give the small
boys something to do between
school hours and devi1merit.
Something will have to be done
before this tiny pest increases
much more in numbers.

School Opening.

The school auditorium last
Monday morning was the scene
of brilliant opening and about
800 pupils were present to have
their names enrolled upon the
register for another session.
Quite a nun Der of patrons and
citizens were present to witness
the exercises which evidenced a
deep interest in the school and
which was very gratifying to the
management. Religious cxerci-
ses were conducted by Rev. H.
w. Wallace, pastor of the Pres
bytcrian church, and Rev. B. S.
Rayner, pastor of the Methodist
church was also present and
made a most interesting talk to
the little folks. Hon. J. h. Tally
spoke in behalf of the board of
trustees and read paper from
that august body pledging it's
hearty cooperation and support
in maintaining the high standard
and lofty principles which have
characterized the management of
the school in the past, and ex-
tended hearty greeting and
welcome to the new mem bers of
the faculty who were assigned to
duty in that grand body.
Mr.. Tally also spoke at length,
as citizen of the town, pointing
out the duties of patrons and
citizens in lending their influence
towards upholding the rules of
the institution which was very
timely and well received by
those present.
The people of Popiarvil1e are
noted for their loyalty to their
school, to which fact a large
amount of credit is due for the
success the school has attained.
1t is sincerely hoped and almost
foregone conclusion that they
will maintain their reputation in
this respect during the present
session. The prospects of the
school are brighter than on any
preceding opening. Competent
teachers are in charge of the diff
Serent departments and every
thing will soon be in splendid
working order.
A very interesting feature of
the opening exercises was a reci-

ANOTHER CUSTER.
This Time Indian Territory Goes Into
 the OH Boom Business.

Denison, Tex, June 25.-The largest oil gusher yet struck was brought in today at Bedford, Creek Nation, north of Deni- son on the Frisco Railroad extension. The gusher was brought in by the Penn sylvania oil Company operating in the oil fields of the Indian Territory and the oil spouted 400 feet in the air. It is high quality of yellow oil and it is claimed will make the best test of any oil yet struck west of the Mississippi river. The oil Is gushing and cannot be confined and Is wasting in great quanti ties. A special dispatch states that it cannot be confined for several days and that thousands of gallons must waste before the flow is under control
 - The Pennsylvania Company that made the strike has been working in the oil fields at Charlottesville, Creek Nation, and has seven oil wells and three natural gas wells at Charlottesville. The Creek treaty recently ratified by the Creeks permits oil leases and it was this favorable ac- ton by the Creek government that caused the company to begin drilling at Bedford where oil indications were favorable
 The well was struck at depth of fifty three feet and the pressure Is very great at the top, so strong that any means of capping is out of the question.
