The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1920-11-25

back the next day with halter
about it's neck, and Mr.. Dobson's
horse was located few days la
ter near jackson.
On the front page of today's pa
per will be found the prospectus
of the Brandon-Jackson Oil Syn
dictate, an organization Of home
men who believe that nature has
placed rich resources under our
soil, and they are going to make
desperate effort to bring it to
the surface. The men backing the
undertaken are all well-known
home men who enjoy the conf
dence Of all, and we see no reason
why they should not succeed in
the undertaking. The plan is to
raise 100000 for the purpose of
putting down test we'll, the units
of this amount being divided into
1000. valued at $51 each Every
cent thus raised will be used in
the actual drilling of the we'll, ex-
cept one dollar on each unit which
will be used in advertising, etc.
Biologists and experienced oil
men say that there are unmistaka-
BILE signs of oil and gas on the g.
900 acres leased by the syndicate.
In case the effort is successful one
share would make you comforta-
BILE, while two or three would
make you immensely wealthy
Read the advertisement carefully,
and if you care to take a shot on
getting rich quick, write to the
syndicate, and further informa-
ton will be furnished.
The double-page announcement
of the Removal and Christmas
Sale of A. M. Shields, which ap-
pears in today's News, is the larg-
est advertisement ever made by a
local establishment. Mr.. Shields
khas leased the Ohleyer building
for a term of years, and will move
to- it on the first Of January, and
| in order to reduce his stock as
much as possible, and incidentally
to raise as much money as posi-
BILE, he has decided to put on this
sale, which begins next Thurs
day and will continue until De-
cember oath. Albert Shields nev-
er does things by halves, and when
it comes to giving a sale he makes
no exception to the rule. He real
ICES that at this particular time
people are expecting goods at
much lower prices, and in order to
make his sale a success prices
commensurate with their expecta-
tions are necessary. He has cut
deep into war prices, and placed
merchandise back to pre-war
figures, as will besshown- by read
ing his advertisement Mr.. Shields
has been engages ip the mercan-
tile business In Brandon for 81
years, and he has right to feel
proud of the reputation he has
made for honesty and fair dealing
during that time He expects to
maintain this reputation, and you
can go to his sale expecting to get
bargains that you will be pleased
with and you will not be disap-
pointed. Remember the dates
and be ON hand.
E. M. Odom writes us that his
sale opened in blaze of glory
Saturday morning, and that the
people are flocking there from
every direction to share in the
bargains he is offering. Odom is
determined to leave nothing un-
done that will contribute to it's
success. He has cut the prices
named in his circular, and is keep
ing far under wholesale prices as
the markets decline. This is the
best chance we know of for the
people in that trade territory to
supply their winter wants ait pri-
Gees that cannot be again duplica-
ted for a long time. In another
column today Mr.. Odom names a
few prices on groceries that are
indeed interesting. He assures us
that everything else has been cut
accordingly. This may be your
last chance for this year. Make
good of it while the thing is hot,
and while Zeke is excited. Sure
thing he will not let you leave
without buying good bill, even if.
you have to name your own prices.
