 A were enthusiastic Tn their praise of the meeting, many de Clarlng It the best ever held by the group, and many were the ex- pressions of wonder and amaze ment at the marvellous growth ot our little city, and of appreciation of the royal welcome accorded the visitors by our citizens.
 The committees, representing the local banks and Board of Trade, had worked untlringly for the success ot the meeting, and much credit IS due them for the satisfactory manner Tn which the convention was cared for. The business meetings were held III the convention hall of Hotel Der mott, and lasted through practi- callv the entire day.
 In the afternoon an elaborate reception was given at Hotel Chcot in honor of the visiting ladies. Including the Dermott ladles who were present to meet the visitors, there were about one hundred guests in attendance, The most delightful feature ot the afternoon $ entertainment was seN- eral beautiful vocal solos by Miss Ethel Schloss of Pine Blutt, which were greatly enjoyed by all present. Mrs. West G. Humphrles of Port land rendered two beautiful piano solos, and a splendid orchestra rom Little Rock furnished music during the rest ot the afternoon.
 In the evening a banquet and ball were given at Hotel Dermott Al the banquet, Carl Hollis of Warren was toastmaStcr, and toasts were happily responded to aek Bernhardt, Ca1l llelmstettcr, Meyer Solmson, Robt. r.. Wait, Geo. w. Rogers, D. Covey and others. Miss Aehloss, bv request, sang solo and was so heartily applauded that an encore was given.
 Each and every one of the meet ings was apparently enjoyed bv the visitors, who were unstlnted m their praise of our town, and amazed at its progress. Mir. Watt well expressed their sentiments when he said Dermott IS a wonderful little city and IS indeed the heart of the delta. It was a revelation to me, and am sure II was to the others of our party. '
 Geo. k. Brown sad l was very much impressed with the ap- ptaranCe Of DeImott, It's cleanl- ness. it's substantial appearance, and its many miles Of concrete sidewalk. "
 The convention was opened m the morning by invocation by Rev. N. C. Denson. Addresses of well come were delivered by Col k. \. Buekner for the Board of Trade, and C. Hclmstetter for the two local banks.

HOW THE EAST AURORA
OIL COMPANY WORKS

Having acquired $500 acres of what we
consider the most valuable oil land in this
region, the next step is to dig for the oil.
Boring oil wells is big business. To
obtain the necessary capital for this pur-
pose a separate corporation, the East Au-
rora Oil Co, is to be formed
You may take a $40 interest in this
company. Your friends and neighbors
are invited to come in on the same basis.
Your money and their money and the
money paid in by others from every sec
ton of the United States, will be used to
go after the oil which we believe lies here
in almost limitless pools.
No one will be allowed to put in more
or less-than $40 No subscriber will have
a greater interest in the company than
yourself Nc subscriber will have more to
say or have any larger vote-in deciding
as to the affairs of the company.
