Pine is used in nearly all prescrip.

reason is that pine contains several
clements that have a remarkable
effect IN soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The Syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2is ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey.
or corn syrup. instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make q full pint
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. It is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant

BEGIN BORING
IN TWO WEEKS
Casing Expected To Arrive In
Next Few Days.

Castings and other fittings neces-
sary to the completion of drilling
equipment for the Lowndes county
derrick Of the Tombigbee Oil and Gas
Company have finally been purchased
and are now on the road being trans
ported in this direction as fast as the
biggest railway locomotives in the
country can pull the cars containing
them over parellel steel rails. This
is the announcement made by Mr. NJ.
H. Snodgress, field representative of
the local oil company, who is due to
arrive in this city today.
Mr., Snodgress finally succeeded in
obtaining sufficient quantity Of
these precious castings after securing
the country from West Virginia and
remote parts Of Kentuckey down thru
Tennessee, at last finding and secur-
ing what he wanted in Bartlesville,
Oklahoma. Castings and other like
commodities used in sinking holes in
the ground in search for oil are very
much in demand all over the country;
so much so in fact, that the Tombigbee
Oil and Gas Company has been until
now securing this material, although
they began search when the derrick
was first started-and it has been
completed now for six weeks. This
has been due to unprecedented drill
ing operations in hitherto undeveloped
fields.
Late consultations with expert geol-
ogists seem to bring out more forci-
bly, the possibilities of there being
two stratas of oil sand in this section,
one at a depth of between 1,600 and
2100 feet and the other at depth of
about4O0O feet. The company is pre-
pared to drill 1920 feet, beginning
with a 12-inch hole and graduating to
a smaller one as the drill goes deeper
into the ground, reducing to six inches
at the 4,20O-foot depth.
1t is expected that drilling opera
tions will begin within two weeks.
This step is being eagerly looked
forward to by practically every citizen
in this community and absolutely
watched by all towns and cities
around especially in the prairie sec
tion of the state.
