Will Bore for Oil Near Here
Standard OH Co. TO Sink Wells at
Reeifoof Lake IN Search OF OIL.
Lease 1000 c4ces.

The West Tennessee Land Com
pany leased Saturday, 1000 acres
Of land 10 the Standard Oil Com
pany, and within a week or ten days
the first we'll will be sunk in the lake
bottom to depth of 1000 feet in
search for oil. The prospects are
rare, indeed, for striking oil, and if
the venture is successful II is believ-
ed that II will put an end for all time
to come to the question of draining
the lake, which question was un-
doubtedly at the bottom Of the night
rider troubles in Obion county.
The lease was signed by J. w.
Scott, general agent for the Stand
ard Oil Company, and Judge Harris,
as president and general manager
for the land company. The 1000
acres are located in the center and
lower end of the lake, and the first
well will be bored just off Whites
Landing, two miles from Tiptonville.
The machinery has been ordered for
the boring, and will arrive some
time this week. The operations will
be commenced at once.
In speaking of the prospects for
striking oil, Mr.. Scott SAID:
al have tried out seventeen lakes
formed by the earthquakes of 1911
and 1912 since have been connect
ed with the Standard Oil Company,
and have struck oil in every one of
them. There is every reason to be-
lieve that we will be successful in
boring wells in Reelfoot Lake. l
cannot now say how many wells will
be bored, but / know that the acre
age covered by the lease signed Sat-
urday will not be enough for US, If
we are successful. The machinery
is already on the way here, and we
will start work at once. The first
we'll will be sunk to depth OF A.
600 feet. l think in that depth we
should strike a fine flow of OIL"
Mr.. Harris is also very enthusiast
tic over the venture. Following the
lead of his father, Col. John Harris.
mis- pet scheme has been to eventual
ly drain the lake. He declined to
discuss this question Saturday, but
minated that If oil was struck the
project would hardly be pushed any
further. 1t is the general opinion
here however, that If oil is found
there will be no further steps taken
to drain the lake, at least not for
many years to come.

IT SEEMED

Body Raw with Observation-Disclosures
from Hospitals NJ Hopeless-Cutf-
cura Remedies Cured Him.
From the age OF three months. until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
vas made intolerable by eczema In Its
worst form. In spite OF treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himsess dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted. From
each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy,
but had gotten almost past hoping for
a cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set of Cuticura Remedies. The result
was truly marvellous. and to-day he is
perfectly cured. Mrs. Lily Hedge, Cam

Matching is being carried on at the
store of Crenshaw Bros. on upper
Franklin street. Thirteen fine ostrich
eggs from the recently established
Tampa ostrich farm have been placed
in an incubator and they will hatch OFF
some time early In May.
1t takes an average heat OF lot de-
grees and As days OF constant exposure
to such heat to develop the germ in
an ostrich egg and hatch a young os-
trich. The eggs are worth $50 each,
and it is a conservative estimate. to
say that the young bird will be worth
more than twice that money after it
has passed the first month OF its ex-
istence
Some idea Of the size Of the eggs
may be gathered from the fact that the
Mandy Lee incubator, which is be-
ing used for the hatch, would hold 40
average hen eggs. Fourteen of the
ostrich eggs would fill it completely.
An empty ostrich egg holds just one
quart of liquid. This is the first at
tempt at ostrich Matching in Tampa.

sailed a whole barrel OF them in my
