DRILLING FOR WATER

The City Authorities have been O.
perating a drilling machine on lands
of F. J. Wood in the Fourth ward
Thus far they have gone twenty-five
feet throug7 the sand and forty feet
through clay. They hope to strike
a gravel bed from which they are
most likely to get a good flow of wa

a little east of the place where they
drove the twelve pipes for water.
This work is all experimental and is
being done by the committee appoint
ed at the last session of the Com
mon Council.

TEN THOUSAND CIRCULARS
FOR BIG TENNESSEE STORE.

A few days ago the Journal and
Courier printed 10000 large circu-
lars, the size OF two pages of the pa
per, for a big department store at
lockwood, Tennessee-some distance
away. The job was a fair sample of
other big circulars turned out by the
Journal and Courier, but that it was
appreciated as good piece of print
ing is shown by the following letter:

Gentlemen:
The ten thousand circulars printed
for the sale at the Peoples Store,
lockwood, came in o. K, and it is
certainly a good piece of work 1t
shows that extreme care was taken in
setting up the matter as the circular
is properly balanced.
| notice also, that none of the cir
culars are blurred, which shows that
clean type and good ink were used on
the job
/ will be glad for you to do more
work for me when It is convenient for
me to reach you.
Yours truly.
