the contract for boring three wells
for the Dexter Oil and Gas Company.
The Dexter Oil and Gas Company

either private or public. The manage
ment of this company told the own
ers of the land leased that they would
make practical tests of the prospective
oil and gas conditions thereon, ana
that they would do so during the pres
ent wear. They are now on the job.
The promoters of the Dexter Oil and
Gas company have deceived no one
but have gone about the arduous work
of making preparations for develop
ment of those fields in an honest prac-
tical and business-like way. They are
succeeding most admirably in their
laudable undertaking Their undertak-
ing is not on paper alone; it is ma
terial fact. and the people generally
endorse the methods pursued and feel
that such honest and enterprising et-
forts TO bring about a great industry in
Cooke County should be encouraged
and supported and consequently many
of the leading citizens and capitalists
of Gainesville and Cooke County, are
now members of the Dexter Oil and
Gas Company and are owners OF liber
al amounts of stock in that concern
and the prospects are bright, indeed
that they will realize large dividends
on their investments, and that, too, in

Not SO Strange After All.

You may think it strange that so
many people are cured of stomach
trouble by Chamberlain's Tablets. You
would not, however, if you should give
them trial. They strengthen and
invigorate the stomach and enable it
to perform its functions naturally.
Mrs. Rosie Rish, Wabash, Ind, writes,
Nothing did me the least good until
| began using Chaberlains Tablets. 1t
is decidedly the best medicine for
stomach trouble | have ever used. -

j. NJ Whittle, of the Whittle Oil &
Gas CO., is preparing to drill another
test just north of Wilson. This Com
pany recently completed a 2O00 #. hole
in 2S-4-2, encountering sands with IA
vorable showings at 500 feet. 100 feet
and 400 feet respectively. After pass
ing through ( feet of pay sand at
l400 feet. the drill went into blue shale
which formation continued to the to-
tai depth of the hole. 1t is generally
conceded that this hole is on the east
slope Of the anticline, and that test
la little farther west will be in the
money.
