The Wilson team demonstrated their SUI
periority over the st. Adams yesterday
afternoon in loosely-played game of ball
on the White Lot. The result was a shut
out for the ST. Adams, the Wilson's con-

Dreyfuss admits he was not notified. He

would be a blow to Pit.sburR, as II Is now
conceded that the team will not nave an

Smalley finally told her that he loved

he wanted the women punished. The

The Pearson Oil and Gas Company.
The stockholders of the above
company held meeting in the rooms
of the Central National Bank Of
Ocala April 20.h and a full report of

county was made.
After facing great many unex-

Of 1000 feet when he met with an
unfortunate accident, the cable part
ing and the tools dropping to the
| bottom of the well. A new cable was
purchased and three separate efforts
made to lift the tools. Each time the
! cable parted and finally the well had
| to be abandoned.
( In the report to the stockholders
the directors said that they had en-
countered sufficient favorable indica-
! tiOns to induce them to undertake the
/ boring of a new well and submitted a
! plan for the continuation of the
work.
After very general and full dis
cussion the stockholders decided to
sink a new well and have strong faith
of striking oil in their next venture

We think the faith, resoluteness

to be commended and if they strike
