of this summer is the high price that has characterizd the egg market. the price holding steady all year.
 Bankers in this section of Ark ansas state that they have loan ed less money to farmers this year than in any past years and although they had more to loan than in previous years, they had no calls from the farmers for financial assistance. Th e e statements alone are ample proof that Franklin county is; in better condition and her farm CTS on a more solid footing than ever before. Last years crop put the farmer up even with the board and this years crop is going to put him way beyond the line when Franklin county will doubtless witness one of the most prosperous epocs in her history.

Local Minister Has Enviable Record
 in Field Work
Eight Months Work as Pastor of Circuit Places to Credit Total of 13O Additions, 100 Baptisms, 127 Conversions.

A most enviable record for good work accomplished is that held by Rev. J. L. Shelby. cir cult rider Ozark division Metho- dist church, who was last Mo- vember placed in charge of the work on the local circuit and whose progress has been watch ed with a great deal of satisfac- tion by many interested persons.
 Last Thursday night Rev. Shelby closed another of his series of protracted meetings at Mount Vernon. This meeting lasted eight nights and during this time 26 conversions and an equal number of baptisms were made, while 30 were received into the church. Last Sunday night Rev. Shelby began a meet ing at Grenade Chapel, the dura- tion of which has not been an nounced. A successful meeting is anticipated.
 Since his installation on the local circuit Brother Shelby's records at the close of Mount Vernon meeting showed that he has made 127 conversions, 100 baptisms and 130 additions to the church. Rev. Shelby is a tireless. effective and enthusias- tic worker and, needless to say, is highly elated over his remark able success.

Some of the oil was secured and placed in the gasoline engine used in the Spectator office and developed power sufficient to drive the large newspaper press. The test proved that the oil was almost the equal of gasoline in the de- velopment of power. At ire quent intervals since its discov- cry the oil has arisen on the sur face water rendering the we'll practically useless as a source of water supply. Oil men have viewed the phenomenon with little significance while the oc- entrance has occasioned consider able comment by interested parties all over the state.

Bank Deposits Total Nearly Quarter
 Million Dollars
Statements of Ozark Banks Indicate Prosperity Reign Throughout This Section of Arkansas.

If the statements of the two Ozark banks is any barometer of the prosperity of this section of the state, then Franklin county Is facing one of the best years in her history for the statements published recently pursuant to call of the State Banking De- partment showing the condition of the various banks at the close of business June 3Oth show that there was on deposit in Ozark alone nearly one quarter million dollars. This is a splendid show ing for the time of year.
 People who are in position to know state that this section of Arkansas is in the foremost ranks of prosperity and with the excellent prospects for bumper cotton crop it is expected that this fall will witness one of the most prosperous conditions we have ever known and will see the farmers of Franklin county on a more solid footing than ever before. In one or two recent years crops have been short which found many farmers un- prepared and threw them con- siderably behind. The bumper crops last season enabled them to pay up their obligations and furnished the majority of them with enough to live upon until the 1916 crop is marketed which will put them so far above the water that it will be extremely difficult for them to get under again. The fruit crop this year, while little short of former years, has been good. the berry crop excellent, while all kinds of truck has accounted well and found a fair market price. One notable feature

Oil From Bristow We'll Figures in Chan
 cery Court t
Bottle Kerosene-Like Liquid Secured From Famous We'll Makes Interesting Exhibit in Sebastian Court.

The following is taken from the Fort Smith Times-Record issue of Friday, July 14th:
 The most interesting incident of the reopening of the hearing Thursday morning of the suit of Clear Creek Oil & Gas company against Wildcat Oil & Gas com pany, involving the lease on the J. B. Cox land, on which the Wilcat No. 1 well is located, was an exhibit which Chancellor Fal- coner himself presented.
 It was a pint bottle of oil taken from the hotel we'll at Ozark. He secured it while holding court at that place Mon day. The oil has the odor and appearance of kerosene, but con- tains several of the properties that are taken out of kerosene in the process of refining. The oil has been a puzzle to oil men ever since its discovery two years ago. An explosion in the well at the time it was being cleaned out attracted attention to the oil. which up to that time had been regarded as seepage and waste from~the oil tanks located in that place.
 Chancellor Falconer saw the oil drawn from the well. When the bucket is brought up the oil is pretty well mixed with the water, but when allowed to stand a few minutes the oil rises and is about a quarter of an inch in thickness on the top of the bucket. The bottle the court had was skinned off the top of several buckets and at the time it was given to Judge Falconer it was thought that all of the water had been eliminated, but this morning there was about an inch of water at the bottom of the bottle and a scum of dirt lay between the water and the oil.
 After the exhibit had been examined and commented on by the attorneys engaged in the case. C. E. Speer took the oil for the purpose of having it analysed. While it has the ap- pearance of kerosene, Chancellor Falconer was informed that it had been used successfully in gasoline engines by parties who had eXperimented with the find. y
 This we'll first attracted atten- tion about two years ago when the water became so oily that it impossible to use. Thinking that oil had been purposely poured into the well or that seepage from some of the oil tanks about town was flowing into the well, Mrs. Bristow had the well drawn dry and a thor ough investigation made which failed to disclose anything but a natural seepage. A negro who was engaged at drawing the water from the well decided to test for gas and lowered a burn ing candle before entering the we'll. The gas in the we'll ex- ploded with such force that the porch of the building was wreck

Ozark Business Men Secure Flag
 for Company K
Large Banner to be Identical With One Presented to Lit tie Rock Company by Lion Club of That City.

Ozark Company K. National Guard, is to receive a large silk flag. Same has been ordered and is expected to put in it's ap- pearance any day. Much credit is due George w. Russell, one of Ozark's spirited business men, who was originator of the idea and though whose efforts the securing of the flag was made possible.
 A petition was circulated Sat- urday by MT. Russell and the patriotic Ozark citizens were given an opportunity to contri- bute share toward the cost of the flag. The amount necessary was quickly subscribed and the order placed. As soon as the flag arrives it is planned by MT. Russell to place it on exhibition for a brief period, it then to be taken charge of by Ed Milton who will take it to Little Rock and there turn it over to Ex- Attorney General Bob Rogers who will make the presentation to Company K, Fort Logan H. Roots, with appropriate cere- monies. The flag is equal to the best presented by any town in the state to it's respective con- pany and identical with the one given the Little Rock Company by the Lion Club of that city. The original list of contributors will be sent along with the flag for filing with the company's records.
