Orleans Home and the Old Masons'
Home. In speaking of the latter he
emphasized especially that it was a
home, not prison nor a poor house

orable career in the history of ma
sonry in the Grand Jurisdiction of
Kentucky from the day it began to
wprk back in 1S49 all the way up to
this good hour, and
Whereas, many men who were
raised to the sublime degree of a
master mason in old Mountain Lodge
have filled places of honor in the fra

Whereas, Mountain Lodge appreci-

Whereas, several masons of prom

their pesence, council and cO-opera

KNOX COUNTY OIL PRODUCTION

The wyoming-Nevada OH Co., of
Casper, Wyoming, with large hold
ings in the wyoming and Oklahoma
oil fields, have made arrangements to
drill a number of wells in Knox
County, as they fully realize the
great possibilities of opening one of
the best fields in Kentucky by going
to the lower oil producing structures.
Many acres of good oil producing
territory in Kentucky have been con-
demned by shallow drilling without
effort to reach the lower sands that
have always proved most profitable.
"Old Man" Harris, sharp, shrewd,
4 '-seeirg oil expert, with many
years of practi III perienco in the
Western oil fields, saw the great
possibilities in Knox County after
lhurriedly taking a view of the coun-
ty some three months ago. What he
saw impressed him and he saw the
possibilities for large oil producing
wells written in the sand formations
of old Knox, and he proceeded to
back his faith with good hard Amer
lean dollars. He has arranged to
drill ten wells in the county and
work will start within thirty days.
The coming of "Old Man" Harris
and his associates means that many
Western oil operators will follow in
his wake, as the Tips" of "Old
Man" Harris are followed closely by
the wise heads in the oil game. The
people of Knox County should make
every effort to encourage Mr.. Harris
and his associates and give them a
hearty welcome as their efforts will
tnean a great deal to the town of
Barbourville and the County of
Knox.
