Water Valley Business Men
and Farmers To Bore Well

These Home Men believe that
there is oil here and they are like
you, Mr. Farmer, they want to see
it developed. These business men
and farmers have organized for the
Die and only purpose of giving the
proposition thorough and honest
test. They are not "oil sharks
neither are they "sealpers," but they
are responsible, honest Yalobusha
county hcme folks who have faith in
the proposition and have put up
their money to give it thorough
test. If there is oil here, let's find
il out There Is only one way to
know and that is to put down u we'll,
These men have organized for that
purpose. and with your cooperation
and backing, Mr. Farmer, the ques-
ton viii be solved.
Following is a list of the names
Of the local company, viz:
Officers.
II. II. Creekmore, President
J. l.. Kirby, Vice President.
W. M. Hardy, Secretary.
II. K. Hunter, Treasurer.
Directors.
w. B. Wagner, j. Fl: Wagner. j.
J.. Harris, l.. K. McNamee, L. c.
Barber, W. G. Dooley, B. F. Tatum.
Jas. Lowe.
These men have been and are
identified with every interest in their
home county, state and city. Their,
reliability and high standing in their
home; county and community guar
-antees an honest and thorough effort
to not only develop but safeguard
the interest of every citizen in. the
county in the oil operation. They
realize fully that even If Ya.obushs
couysv contained q Aass,ve la e. Of
oil it Must Ri QAxs4a9ffJeAts mr. order
Tor the home people to derive any
benefit from it. They propose to
develop it if it is here-they propose
to put down wells and find out if it
is here-Mr. Farmer are you with
them?
Now, Mr.. Farmer, the question
is squarely up TO you. These home
men can't operate without something
tangible TO work on. The local COM
pany stands ready and wil-ing-are
anxious to move-but
They can't move peg unless you
farmers are willing to do your part
and help. If you want a thorough
and honest test made, lease your
lands to your home men and let
them get busy. You have nothing to
lose and everything TO gain if you
ioin them, while on the other hand
if YOU tie up to the "soalper" yen
are his capital to juggle with. while
the big OF, corporation would quietly
sit d wn on your little farm and like
the dog in the manger, they wouldn't
develop or permit anyone else to put
down a we'll,
It requires large acreage to. sue
cesefu " operate. 1t is necessary
that the lands be in practically sold
blocks, and better that acreage be
secured in different sections of the
county so that the home men can
nut down wells wherever the experts
direct.
The Herald has always stood for
the best interest of YalObuSha coun
tv-- the editor believes there is oil
here and will do al in his power to
see it developed. If We succeed 1t
means great wealth for us all, and
we call on our readers and friends
to stand by their home men.
Remember you have nothing TO
lcse and everything to gain if you
lease your lands to the home men,
while if you fail or refuse to ease to
them, their hands will be tied and
thev can't operate, while you in that
event would be possibly throwing
away the golden opportunity OF be
coming wealthy.
If interested, get busy at once
and see your home company-so
that they can start the ball rolling.
IF YOU desire to lease to the Home
Company be sure that the name of
Hon. H. H. Creekmore appears rs
Trustee in the lease, as Mr. Creek
more has been duly appointed Trus-
tee for the company
