Forming An OH Company.


 Cltlzens of Wilcox County declare that oil and natural gas has been dis covered in that county near McWiIl- jams. Several times during the mast week residents of that section of VII COX county have been in Selma talking or the discovery, and have heen trv- ing to form a stock company to bora for oil and natural gas. They have met with great deal of encourage. lnent and 1t Is believed that such a com. pany will be formed.
 Some of the citizens from McWulioms say that there is no doubt but fhat thore is oil in that section. Al some places on certain creek they declare that one can take a match and set tba oil ahre as 1t floats upon the water. An other citizen of Wilcox was in SeIma today. and he stated that at certain places that he took lighted niece of pine, several feet long, and placed if over Tn a marshy place and that natur al gas burned up brightly.
 Many acres of the ground around this section where it is reported that oil can be found it owned by Selmians. The otner land of that section is owned by cltlzens ot Wilcox. The~1atter are very enthusiastic in the belief that otl ana natural gas can be found in their neigh. horhood and dream of running nine lines to Selma. Montgomery and Mobile and furnishing the residents of those cities cheap fuel gas.
 The Selmians who own land in that section have heard of the reported dis covery for some weeks, and will go down in Wilcox County this week and investigate the ind. The services of an expert will probably be secured and 1T either one can be secured in paving quantities McWilliams will soon be. come well known place.

ARE BEATEN AT
THEIR OWN GAME
SOphS Appropriate Figures
Painted By Higher
ClaSSmen

1t was a survival of the tittest-a
war waged upon the forerunner by an
enthusiastic fellow having in mind the
object to Guido his competitor-when
the classes of the High school took an
other outing last Tuesday night and
emblazoned their class figures and en-
blems on the stray woodsheds and side
walks about the old High.
About o'clock the senior class held
meeting of its leaders and after
hasty consultation aided by the pain
brush and a quantity of white lead,
they proceeded to tell people of the
existance of the class of OF, which
figures were printed in convenient
spots all over Normal HILL
Juniors Make the Rounds.
After they bad completed their
rounds of pleasure it became nofsed
about among members of the junior
class, '0S, that work of paint ma
ture had been done by the seniors.
Not to be outdone by their older and
upper classmen, a number were hastily
gathered together. They made the
rounds, following directly the trail of
the seniors, and in each place where
the figures 'O7 stood forth they were
changed to read '0S. It was accom-
plished by only a swipe of the paint
brush.
The juniors even went so far as to
go to the lawn of the High school
building, and in the quiet of the mid
night hour painted a huge ghostly
white ''Os" on the grass on each side
of the walk leading to the main ent-
rance of the building.
The figures are about six feet in
length.
And then The Sophomores.
Another chapter in the tale of events
now occurs, While the juniors were
on the trail of the seniors and with
paint pot and brushes arranging things
to suit themselves, they were seen by
certain few members of the sopho-
more class.
The sophomores allowed no one to
know of their presence In the vicinity
an after the unaware juniors had re-
tired from the field, the sophomores
secured the selfsame pot of paint and
brush, climed to the top Of the High
school building, where several months
ago the senior class had painted the
'"07," emblematic of their class, and
after a few strokes of the brushes,
changed the "O7' into an "O9" which
figure is synonymous with the sopho-
mores.
And the Sophomores Laughed.
After they had so far outdone the
other classes the sophomeres made the
same rounds as had the other two
classes earlier in the evening, and
changed the figures "07" which had
been changed to "0S" to their own
class figures, "O9,' by erasing a part
of the figure "S"from the monogram
| AS a consequence the figures which
were made by the juniors and the
seniors now appear emblematic of the
! sophomore class and happy bunch of
victorious. growing sophomores, with
] smiling, innocent faces greeted their
classmates when the gong sounded
yesterday morning.
