MUCH INTEREST in
FIELDS VEL.

The progress of the Fields well, a
few miles north of Arcadia Is being
watched with considerable interest.
due to a good showing of oil that has
made its appearance somewhere be-
tween 100 and 2300 feet. Owing to
cave.ins and various kinds of trouble
that has been encountered, the exact
depth of the showing has not been as
certained as far as we can find
out. After succeeding in withdrawing
the 4 inch liner which was broken of
week or two ago, an attempt was
made to set six inch. In this work
they had the mishap to break this at
at a depth of several hundred feet.
Whether or not a test can be made
is not yet known. 1t may be neces-
sar to drill another we'll to make a
satisfactory test.

ROAD BUILDING FURNISHES
EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY

According to Mr.. T. W. Evans, who
was q caller at the Democrat office
Wednesday, the road building cam
paign now being conducted in Ward
Four is furnishing employment fol-
many citizens Of that ward. In view
Of the loss sustained by farmres on
their cotton, it is indeed fortunate
that they are presented with such an
opportunity for employment at a time
when, ready cash is needed so badly
The work Of building the model
roads in Ward -Four seems to be pro
crossing rapidly, Notwithstanding the
heavy rains which have caused some
delay.
