There are few oil men in Flor
ence who apprehend that oil will
not be found in the vicinity of
Greedy, where a nun Der of com
panies are preparing to drill.
Frank White, superintendent of
the Keystone Oil company of this
place, states that fourteen years
ago he put four wells down for
the city of Greedy and also the
county, one of them to depth of
2,700 feet, and the least indication
of petroleum was not met.
The derrick of the Keystone
Oil company will be finished to-
morrow Nearly all the machinery
is in place and by tomorrow night
it will be ready to turn over to
Patterson & Irwin, the contractors
who will drill the we'll The work
of drilling will not be commenced
before the Oath of the month, as
that is the day when the contract

just at this time of year the
man who bleeds the town may be
seen upon the streets most every
day. He is the man who comes
into the city, remains one day,
leaves the price of cay perhaps
two or three meals, and takes out
5000 to $500 every spring His
annual visits are regular and he
always finds plenty of people who
are willing to contribute to his
support He does not pay taxes,
or rent or license, therefore his
profits are very large.
We refer to the made-to- order
shirt man, the man who will take
your measure for suit of clothes
and guarantee a fit (Which always
fits like meal SACK for the same
price you would have to pay your
home merchant for a first-class
ready made suit.
Your home merchant pays his
taxes to maintain the city govern
ment and your public schools; he
contributes to your churches and
your reading rooms and your char
ity organizations, and to securing
public enterprises for your town.
Then are you not in duty bound
indebted to him to the extent of
this trade you are giving to these
men who do not spend cent to
help out your business2
If you want to send away for
your shirts and your clothing and
your furnishings, just give your

them make the profits that the
