RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

lnasmuch as it has pleased God to
remove from our midst our friend
and brother, Abner Julian Frazier,
who afer q long life. of three score,
ten and eight years of service both to
his country and church, it has pleased
God to call him home to rest from
his labors, and to enjoy the sweets of
an eternal bliss while eternity rolls
on, and the courts of heaven continue
to swell, with these, who, like Bro.
Frazier, have washed their garments
in the blood of the Lamb, and have
made ready for the call when Jesus
says, "Come We blessed to my father .
Therefore, we, the members of the
Carriers Memorial Sunday school de-
sire to make the following resolutions
Resolved, That in the death of Bro.
Frazier our Sunday school has lost
one of its faithful and most noble
members, and while we deeply regret
the loss of the companionship, friend
ship, and ever-ready advise of one SO
worthy and ready to help, yet we re-
joice in the thought that while it is
his eternal gain, and that while he is
absent here he is resent with his
Heavenly Father, and those of his
loved ones who have gone on before.
Be it further resolved, That the
mambers of Carriers Memorial Sun
day school realize the great loss to
Mrs. Frazier and near relatives and
friends and extend to them our love,
our tender sympathy and assure them
that the life and work of Bro. Frazier
will always remain in our memory as
a noble inspiration and that his infu-
ence will ever live on and on.
Resolved further, That a cop Of
these resolutions be placed on our
minutes, in memory of him, and a
copy be sent to Mrs. Frazier, who is
one of our teachers and, like Bro.
Frazier, is loved and respected by all
who know her.

Another favorite Of fortune to
whom the Healdton, Okla, field
brought wealth is Charles Van Weise,
a lawyer in Ardmore. After much
labor and difficulty he finally pur-
suaded twelve men to put SITS each
into the Coline Oil Company. Their
first well was a "gusher," with oil
enough to warrant the belief that the
well will be a producer for the next
forty years. The Santa Fe railroad
had use for the oil and paid the COM
pany Of twelve men $1,OOO,O00 in
real money for the lease.
Eeach man received for his s175

In contributing articles for publ
cation, and especially when they per-
tain or rather carry with them per-
sonal boosts of individuals, it is well
enough to have them submitted by
parties known to be in sympathy with
the paper; those who, have. shown
some little interest in making it sue
cess. There are any any number Of
business men and citizens throughout
the city who have not even subscribed
for the. paper a single week, and we
doubt whether they have ever bought
a single copy. 1t is reasonable to
suppose, however, that they read the
paper at somebody else's expense.

A Million From Nothing.

: A. 7. McGhee is a millionaire. And
he is reported not to have had orig
inally even the conventional "plug-
ged nickel"
But he is an oil enthusiast. He
read and studied until he knew all
about oil and where it grew. All this
was in Oklahoma.
He went through all the discourage
ments and difficulties of the man with
faith but no money, but eventually
succeeded in interesting others in
drilling on land he had selected. Oil
was found, the Healdton field was
born, and every man connected with
the proposition is now credited with
being in the millionaire class.

Fortune Teller's Prediction Comes
True

Fortune Teller's Prediction Comes
True.
An interesting story comes from
Wolfe County, Kentucky. It touches
the origin Of the name Of the Witch's
Ford Oil Co. The tale runs, that a
mountaineer, on a trip to st. Lo;sis
for the purpose of disposing of his
seasons catch of pelts, met fortune
teller year ago, who foretold that in
certain manned he would come into
the possession of certain property and
that if he would drill at a given point
near cerain Fork, he would find oil.
Sometime later, true to her predic-
ton. he came into possession of the
property in just the manner that she
had foretold, and an investigation is
said to have revealed excellent indi-
cations for oil. In accordance with
this prophecy, the company was form
ed and named as above, and its opera
tions are said to be meeting with sue
cess.
