Oil Well for Texas, Caddo, Oil and
Gas Company.

The Texas, Caddo Oil and Gas
Co. has struck oil in their well,
being drilled on Kitchin's creek,
about IA miles east OF Jefferson,
and two miles south of Smith
land. The officers of the com
pany, who live at Greenville and
Commerce, were here and went
down to the we'll last Saturday,
and we understand that the we'll
was being bailed Monday to de.
termine the flow of oil. This
well is onlyabout two miles from
Chew No. /, which was drilled
and shut down. Striking oil by
this company brings the proven
field further up in Marion county
The Stallcup well, about three
miles southeast Of Smithland, is
reported to be a very fine grade.

A Home Coming OF Texas Dollars

The marvlous opportunities
for investments in Texas which
are unfolding like buds bursting
on the trees, suggest a home
coming OF Texas dollars. We
have quite a considerable sum
invested in foreign lands and
while frequently a dollar is
whipped home with bleeding feet
and tattered garments, yet the
bulk of our prodigal dollars
never know what they missed
when they left home.

BETTING ON NATIONAL GAME
Opened for Placing Waeers on
Outcome of Contests.

The gamblers and the bookmakers
have at last begun a real attack on
baseball. 1t was bad enough when
friends pet with each other as to the
outcome of games. Now, we are in
formed. regular bookmaking establish
ments have been opened. Odds are
posted, based on the assumption of
certain pitchers working. Bets may
be made on the results Of games, on
the result of the league race, on the
number OF runs that will be made, or
on almost any event of the game. In
addition, t.psters have begun to ply
their trade offering to give inside in
formation, sure winners, etc.
The grea. national game cannot
stand long under an incubus of this
kind, says the Charleston News and
Courier. Once let the gambling feat
uce predominant and all belief in the
honesty Of the games will at once dis
appear. Any player who makes an err
ror at a critical time will be subjected
to the charge that he has been bought.
Managers and all others connected Off
cially with the different teams will find
themselves in most unpleasant situa-
tion. pending the final ending Of the
sport as national pastime.
