OIL NEWS.
BY e. t. KEMPER.

The Roy Petroleum Company. Gov
ington, KY are progressing nicely
with their well on the John Rector
farm, oRDamron's Creek, in the east
ern part of Adair., County, and it is
confidently expected, they will have
something good'in the way of produc.
ton to report in the near future.
These people control considerable &C.
reage in, Adair, and they will push de-
velopment here as fast as possible.
Western people are turning their
eyes toward Kentucky fields, as ev-
idenced by certain parties from Okla
homa closing a big deal few days
since whereby they acquired several
leases. and some production, in Allen
County, involving the sum of $3.50. COO.
1t is the general opiniodof well posted
oil men all over the country that Ken
lucky is destined to be one Of the
most profitable fields to be found any
where, and Adair County comes in
for its share of the interest being
manifested.
The Carnanan Tin Plate and Sheet
Company, of Canton, Ohio, who
brought in nice we'll near Greensboro,
recently, are arranging to move a
drilling rig to point near lions
Church, few miles east of Columbia,
where development will be pushed
forward as fast as possible. This
looks like good territory for the liquid,
and some good reports are expected
from that locality soon.
Forty cent gasoline, wholesale, is
predicted within the next ninety
days, on account of the great short
age now confronting this country
Our daily production is 100000 gal
Ions, and we are consuming daily
something like 100000 gallons
Columbia dealers are now selling gas
oline at 34c per gallon.
The Roy Petroleum Co have strucl
fine flow of gas on the John Smylel
farm, located on Fry Creek, Case!
County, the supply being ample to rur
the drilling machinery and to furnish
heat and light for the Smyley resi-
dence. Drilling operations are still
going forward there, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected good oil we'll will b,
'drilled In" in the near future.
The old American we'll, located o.
Little Renox Creek, Cumberland
County, KY, drilled nearly 100 year
ago, and which has flowed PERIODICAL
for many years, was in action again
few days since, Notwithstanding tn
fact that, the hole is covered Will
many feet of mud and gravel. Thi
we'll has the distinction of being tn
first oil well drilled in America and
so far as known, the first in tn
world. The oil is of superior quail
ity.
There are some people to be foun
in every community, and ours is n
exception, who would not believe the
had oil in their locality even if the
saw it spouting up in their backyard
some fine morning, but this doubtin
does not prove anything, for We hav
had "doubters" with US for ages, an
they will be in evidence as long a
time lasts. Adair County has some {
the best structures and formation
for the production of oil and gas to
found anywhere, and the time wi
surely come, and we don't believe it
very far distant, when this sectio
will be one of the active producin
fields of the country. Not only
this true of Adair, but of the adjoiI
ing counties as well, and big thing
are in store for Columbia, it being til
logical "hub" for this territory.

A LamentabIe Death.

The readers of the News have known
for six or eight weeks that Misses
Verna and Lula Todd, estimable
young ladies Of this county, living
one and half miles north of Colum-
bia, daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. J. D.
Todd, were in a critical condition at
Bowling Green, as the result of flu.
Occasionally favorable reports would
come, and a week ago hope was enter
tanned that each of the young
ladies would recover. This
feeling of confidence was turned into
sorrow Sunday morning when mes
sage came stating that Miss Lula
died at a. m.
Mr.. W. E. Todd, brother of the de-
ceased, left at once for Bowling Green
to perfect arrangements for the re-
turn of the body. 1t reached here
Monday afternoon and was conveyed
to the home. Many friends had gath
cred to pour words of consolation into
the-hearts of aged and almost heart
broken parents and loving sisters and
brother. Miss Lula was fine gyoung
woman, splendid manager andI has
been great help to her father and
mother, who have passed the age of
activity.
Words of sympathy have Ebeen
heard on all corners in Columbia, and
many town people attended the last
sad rites. The funeral was held at
the residence Tuesday, all the neigh
borhood being in attendance. The
interment was in the Murray grave
yard.
May God in his infinite wisdom com.
fort the heart broken p arents, broth
er and sisters. While they can not
again see their dear one in the flesh
they can by living close to God, see
her in the celestial city.
Her sister, Miss Verna, yet remain:
in a critical condition at Bowling
Green.
Miss Lula was a deVout member o.
the Presbyterian Church, Rev. B. T
Watson officiating at the funeral
assisted by ReV.L ]. B. Smith anC
Ed. 2. T. Williams.
The floral offerings were many.
The surviving members of the fam
lily, besides the parents, are W. E
Todd, Mrs. Minnie Johnson, Mrs
Horace Jeffries, Mrs. Clyde Crenshav
and Miss Verna Todd.

ttfe latest opening of river naviga-
ton into the Interior ever recorded
in the history of the North and is
