that depends on whether you have
taste in saucepans and can openers.
Perhaps the prettiest gift was a cut
glass bon-bon dish concealed in u pud-
ding tin.
The parlor was decorated with sweet
peas, while nasturtiums and aspara-
gus were used in the dining room.
Besides being used en- masse on side

| bright-faced nasturtiums We're twist

which trailed in graceful lengths over
the table with charming effect.
Refreshments took the form of

daintily served The evening was
spent in conversation. interspersed
| with music. Besides that furnished
by some of the talented among the
guests. graphophone. which was
among the anniversary gifts, contrib

The guests were as follows:
SPIT. and Mrs. e. r. Downs, Col.

Pike, Mr.. and Mrs. George Weaver.
Mr.. and Mrs. Todd. Mesdames Earl
and Mesechere, and Misses DE La

Weaver and Young.
The Herald staff, in this connec-
ton, wishes to extend congratula-
tions to Mr. and Mrs. Ball and to
| heartily wish them at least another
ten years uninterrupted happy jour

partaking of the liberal spread of del

PROSPECTUS.
COMPANY, LIMITED.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid fowery,
deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail a few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
have done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Co. Ltd, domiciled at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at $500, 600
Captain D. E. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
CO., t; man of unquastionable in
tesrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president Of this
company.
From the organization Of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots of really Oil
lands throughout the Oil belt of
Calcasieu parish, ignoring in a
measure large bodies Of indiffer-
ent lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased,
First.-Twenty acres near the
blackberry we'll that is full of
promise, the we'll being down
near 1000 feet, with every indi-
cation of success. The stock OF
this we'll is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
ling this we'll, which lies thirteen
miles south east of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat q
spring at blackberry flowed very
cold water, which today is almost
as hot as hot coffee. We also
purchased five acres near the
Vinton wells which have struck
several stratas Of oil, published
to the world.
The Jennings daily record. [volume] (Jennings, La.) 1900-1903, 1901-11-26

Second. Finding unparalleled
gas and oil Indications on Bayou
Blue, about fifteen miles north
of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering a hill of
about five arcres Oh Bayou Blue.
We also have forty acres three
miles north of the Jennings Oil
Well, where gas and oil abound
and upon which it was at first
intended to sink "a we'll. But the
climax was struck when after
much labor and time had been
spent, ANSSE 4. LA BUT lie, the
SPINDLE TOP of Mamou Prairie
was secured, and this is a real
Spindle Topin every sense. This
six acres lies within a mile of
Bayou Cane, tributary OF Mer-
n1entau river and just north of
Iermentau station where the
Southern Pacific railway crosses
the Mermentau river, giving
easy and cheap access to an out
let to market.
This is where the Prairie
Mamou Oil & Mineral Co., Ltd
will within the next 80 days be-
gin TO sink a well with the prom
iSe ia advance If a gusher. It is
about one fourth Of q mile south
east of the noted gushing we'll Of
the Jennings Oil Co.
We intend to bore our second
well on Bayou Blue. We have
leases upon several hundred
acres of lands on which we would
bore in event others see fit to
develop any adjacent thereto and
meet success.
The Company will offer $4,000
shares for sale at so cents per
share for IA short time. Par val
ue OF shares one dollar each. We
would much prefer to sell these
shares to home people.
