Negro Rapist Lynched

and the prisoners were alive or dead.
There was no way to get word IN or

and cries of the mob.
Sheriff Clark is believed to have sur

YOUR BOY.

You do not know what: is in him.
Bear with him; be patient; wait.
Feed him; clothe him; love him; he
is boy, and most boys are bad. You
think him so light-hearted, and fear
he is light-minded as we'll But re-
member he calls you father. When
he played in your lap, you fondly
hoped he would some day be a great
and useful man. Now that he has
grown larger, and his young blood
drives him with gleeful sport, and
makes him impatient of serious
things rafting, playful, thought
less-you almost despair. But don't
be snappish and snarlish, and make
him feel that you are disappointed
in him. He is your boy, and you are
to live i'm him. He bears your name,
and is to send it down the stream
of time. He inherits your fortune
and fame, and is to transmit them
to generations to come.
1t cannot be otherwise. A daugh-
ter divides your fortune, transmits
less of your fame and loses your
name. A boy is more nearly yourself
than anything else can be. It is thru
your boy you 60 down in history;
thru your boy you are to live in the
future; by him you are to act upon
the generation that is to come.
1t may be difficult to govern him,
but be patient. He may seem adverse
to everything useful and good; but
wait. No one can tell what is in
boy. He may surprise you some day.
Hope. Let him grow! While his
body grows larger and stronger, his
and moral nature may expand
and improve. -. 3,

Small Producer Now Has

Eastland, Tex. June From the
beginning oil developments in the
Ranger field have been to the west
ward. Back IN October. 1917. when
it was known that the oil found in
the discovery well was the same
grade as the Pennsylvania crude. de-
velopment rapidly increased in all
directions. The discovery well was
the No. 1 McClaslcy. which the Texas
Pacific Coal and Oil company brought
in that year.
when in July. 1915. the No. 1 Stay

barrels daily, by the Prairie oil and

that the trend of Developments would
be westward.

the supposition that the holes were
deliberately wrecked after getting
