j. LEWIS FRANCIS
GOES TO REWARD
Was Member OF Pioneer Family
Of kentucky And Madison
And Esteemed By All

j. Lewis Francis, a native and
lifelong resident of Madison county,
died at the Pattie A. Clay Infirmary,
Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 27 in the
68th year of his age. On Monday be-
fore, he was on the streets of Rich
mond and had severe hemorrhage
of the lungs, and he was moved to
the infirmary and the fatal morning
he survived only few months after
another hemorrhage.
Mr.. Francis was a good citizen,
had numerous relatives and many
friends. Something like a year ago,
he was taken violently sick and was
carried to the same Inirmary for
treatment and recovered sufficiently
to be up and about but not at all
strong, and it seemed there was no
other alternative, as he was unable
to attend to affairs, than for him to
dispose of his stock, farming imple-
ments, etc., and he had public sale
and renting and moved to town on
North street, where he and his fami-
ly resided until the end of his earth
ly career. He had owned the farm
for more than so years and his faith
er before him had owned it for many,
many years. He loved his wife and
children, and was very much attach
ed to his country home, and it was
cross for him to leave it.
His ancestors on both sides, the
paternal and maternal side, were
pioneers, who helped to settle Ken
lucky and Madison county and many
will grieve' to know that he passed.

GOOD NEWS FOR
LOCAL OIL INVESTORS
Was Striking of Gusher In Allen
Field Close To Property
They Own

A number of local investors
are mighty we'll pleased over the
strike of the gusher oil well in
Allen county this week, for sew
eral here have some valuable
holdings in company which has
property adjoining the Gardener
farm where the gusher was
struck. This well is estimated
to be good for from 1000 tc
5000 barrels a day. The well is
regarded as the biggest strike
made east of the Mississippi
River and is said to be close
competitor to the gushers Of
Oklahoma and Texas. AS soon
as the oil was struck it began
flowing in such volumes that the
entire country surrounding the
we'll was submerged. BasIri
were hurriedly constructed tc
catch the oil, and in addition tc
these being filed there are sew
eral lakes of oil on the farm, ac-
cording to latest reports
Approximately 100000 more
than was anticipated was pat int
the pockets of Ken lck, Oh op-
orators when the price t.f Ken
lucky crude oil, known as
Somerset" was advanced Il
cents to $2.85 barrel, the high
est price in history CT the in
dustry. Oil men throughout the
state are highly elateo over the
advance, not only because it rep
rcsents the biggest increase in
years at single time, but be
cause they have good reason to
expect $500 for Kentucky's crude
oil in January. The higher Gil
price means another thang to
Kentucky oil men. 1T present
a 10-barrel well is considered a
commercial producer, but with oil
selling at So barrel, it would
pay the producer to pump a 3 to
5-barrel well. This IS especially
encouraging in view of the TACT
that so many Kentucky proper
ties produce only small wells.
Some idea of the activity now
going on in the Kentucky oil
fields may be gathered from rhe
statement the approximately aDo
rigs are in operation in the state
and that fifty counties are ceptcrs
of active development. In four
teen of these counties commercial
pools have been developed.
