.6RIlLERs STRIKE COAL
Traces Show ON Boiler in Crescent
Oil COmpany's Well.

With the we'll down a little more
than 600 feet, traces of coal appear
ed on the bailer at the Crescent Oil
company's prospect near Tenino this
week, indicating the presence of a
small coal strata about so feet be-
low a strata of sandstone, the drill
ers say. The showing added still
more to the confidence of those inter-
ested in promoting the company that
oil would be struck within a short
time.
The eight-inch casing has now been
placed in'the we'll to the 6OOlfoot lev.
Ell, shutting of all water. and con-
siderable progress has been made
during the last few days. Comment
ink on this this week. Emery C. VIII
hanson, secretary treasurer of the
company, said: IF the people around
here appreciated the fact that our
we'll is costing us less than $3.50 q
foot where the Washington Oil ond
Jefferson Oil companies have spent
from $25 to $50 a foot, believe they
would appreciate even better than
they do that we mean business. Ed,
@. Miller, our president. is practical
driller and he is doing the drilling
himself-he Is there to bore a hole,
not to sell stock. II we can raise
$4,000 we will put down four holes
in this county and prove definitely
whether there is oil here or not"

Putnam's Largest Family.

The reunion of the Braddock fami
ly at New Smyrna on the 9th inst. was
an event in the history of what may
be safely termed the first family in
this section of Florida.
This reunion of the Braddock's was
gathering which had for its central
figure-its honor guest-a lady who
was ripe in years when most OF Put-
nam county was wilderness. She
is Mrs. J. A. Braddock, lady who in
the years preceding the war between
the states, as we'll as during those
eventful times lived on farm some
three miles south of this place, the old
home of which is still standing. And
this old home was once a scene OF
battle, battle historically recorded
as the Battle of Braddock's Farm"
A Federal force had taken possession
of the farm and looted it for all the
provisions and cotton there stored.
This force was making off with the
plumber when they were interrupted
| by Gen. Dickson and his calvary
force. Gen. Dickson captured the
| whole invading force and took them
prisoners. There were few fatali-
ties.
Mrs. Braddock, the mistress of this
farm home is still living and enjoying
A good measured health at the age
of 92. And the reunion was of all
her living children. What a gather
ing! And what "reminiscences of the
sd, old days they must have had! The
sons and daughters present were: W
lC. Braddock of Lakeland, J. D. Brad
dock of Daytona, Mrs. S. H. Rolersor
of Fl. Lauderdale, S. S. Braddock 81
Crescent City, J. A. Braddock of Pier
son. F. H. Braddock of Eau Gallie, H
A. Braddock of Miami, Mrs. G. d
Bryan of Palm Beach and Mrs. j. G
Bryan of New Smyrna, at whose homt
the reunion was held. These are thu
sons and daughters, but they repre-
sent only small part of the descend
ants of this grand old lady. Durin:
