to know Mrs. Torts whole family; but
most of us know Susan. Now it is not

Of course to vitiate this previous right

OIL PROJECT IS
/ PROGRESSING NICELY
Subscriptions Coming In Rapidly and
1t Is Hoped That Drilling Will Be
Started By Early Spring.

The Oil Office is a busy place these
days. 1t is keeping Messrs. Carter
and Bates busy entertaining callers.
The office is filled from early morning
until night-when the sun is shin
ing.
Many leases have been secured and
subscriptions are coming in rapidly.
When asked as to when the real work
of drilling would start, Mr.. Bates said,
"If we are not ready to start drilling
within sixty days, will be disappoint-
ed, and will miss my guess" He went
on to say that by early spring the
drill would be ready to start.
The fact that oil has been discovered
at Tupelo, only 40 miles away, and
that oil was discovered at a debth of
500 feet two miles south of Bluff
Springs, which is about Il miles from
Oxford, lends much emphasis to the
belief that the matter of striking oil
in paying quantities near Oxford is
certain.
It is hoped that our people will CO.
operate with the company in securing
leases and subscribing for stock so
that the drill can be ordered at the
very earliest date.
