full and fragrant flowers - yet not
more beautiful or pure than the

swelled in sympathy for the be-

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert White
have been in Mt Vernon for the
past week with the formers rela.
tives. Mr.. White, who is the
youngest son of our former towns
man, Jonus |. White, is better
known to the people of Mt. Vernon
as Little Bob" White. Since
Bob left Mt Vernon a number of
wears ago he has been employed in
the oil fields, part of the time in
the celebrated oil belt of Oklahoma
but recently in Estill county. His
business to Rockcastle county is to
lease land for one of the Compan-
les now operating in Estill. He
says his company will want 1000
acres or more in Rockcastle, and
says positively that there will be q
machine in the county at work ii
less than thirty days. From every
indication the oil people evidently
have their eyes on Rockcastle a!
being an oil field. There is NJ
question about the county being
on a direct line between the OF
fields of Wayne and Estill com
ties, and past experiments have
long since convinced the older Citl
zens that there is oil in the county
, JuigeL. w. Bethurum and other
leased several thousand acres IL
the East side of the county, ant
from what Mr.. White says, it
likely that one or more wells will
{ be put down on this land in tn
near future. A Mr.. Marcum, @
Estill county representing anothe
: Company now operating in Estlll
, was in Mt. Vernon yesterday Blu
so far as we have been able to lear
he made no statement as to wha
l the nature of his visit was, but j
is supposed that he is also figul
ing on the oil situation. With til
e taking of leases of the large nun
}, Der of acres of land and the nun
: Der of acres still wanted, it is sal
( to predict that there will be some
y thing of an oil boom in Rockcastl
e although it may only be a reoccu
q renee of what has been two {
h three times before within the la.
