FIRE DAMAGED
c. E. Lightfoot's Home. Spark From
Chimney Catches To The
Single Roof.

Postmaster Chas E. Lightfoot mar
rowly escaped losing his home in the
West End of the city last Wednes-
day morning by fire. Mrs. Lightfoot,
who was in the midst of having house
cleaning done, had some trash burn
ing in one of the CRATES, and it is
supposed that spark from the Chin
ney fell on the single roof and
caught fire. Very soon afterwards a
little girl passed the home and seeing
the fire gave an alarm before the
blaze had made much Roadway. The
L. H. & St. L. shop men hurried to
the scene, and the fire was soon extin-
guished.
The fire damages were very
promptly and satisfactorily settled by
c. B. and o. T. Skillman, local agents
for the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company.

lie combined the two ideas as abso-
lutely necessary to a lasting Govern
ment. On the day set aside for the
purpose the people are asked to COM
bine worship and patriotism.
Sunday, May 4, should be red

CUES and other institutions of rel
igious nature, as we'll as for all lead
ers and others will see to it that the
drag net is used effectively that no

port his Government by buying the
notes offered.

fairer world than this. The funeral
services were conducted by the writer

relatives and friends.
Bro. Frank had not enjoyed the
best of health for several years, but
he was patient sufferer, never MUIR

In His s7th Year. I
Born July IL, 1882. He professed
faith in Jesus and united with the
Clover Creek Baptist church near
Hardinsburg, KY, when he was about
40 years old; remained an honored
member until he was called home.
He lived consistent christian life,
cooperating with his brethren in every
good word and work for the advance

loved the Lords service, frequented
his house and was liberal contribu-

In the sixties when our country was
in the throes of Civil War, Bro. Frank

call, and turning away from the COM

SMALL oil WELL
IS DISCOVERED
Near Nook In Breckenridge
County. Is Bbl. Well For
The Falcon Oil and Gas Co.

Falcon Oil and Gas Co., which has
been drilling we'll for sometime on
the farm of Pile Bros, near Nook
this County, drilling in to Carniferous
Limestone, at depth of from 1900 to
1900 it, and have struck oil of very
superior quality. This is successful
demonstration that the underlying
strattas under Breckenridge county
carry a very high grade of crude
petroleum, samples of which have
been shipped to the refinery in Louis
vile, and tests prove that it produces
40 per cent gasoline, which is not
equal to but greater than any Lee or
Estill County oil, in gasoline contents.
Mr.. L. I. Haney, Manager of the
Falcon Oil Co., says it would be I'M
reasonable to expect that the first well
drilled by the Falcon Oil & Gas Co.,
in the county would puncture the
most profitable pool of oil lying UNI
her this territory, but it is clearly
demonstrated that there is oil in pay
ing quantities in this section and
further drilling will indicate in which
direction future wells will be located.
This their No. 1 we'll contains some
gas but there has been noted abb
sence of water, and it is believed that
the shooting of this we'll will result in
at least a 25 barrel well.
The we'll will be shot, cased and
pumped Immediately.
