necessary for a sheriff. Before

Tribute TO a Coed Man.

Mr.. ]. K. P. ConoVer's death, which
occurred at the home of his son, 10 2.
Conover, Monday night of last week,
was not known at this Office Tuesday
morning until a few minutes before
the News went to press, hence only
mention of his demise was made
Mr.. Conover was born and reared in
about one and one-half miles South Of
Columbia son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
ConoVer. He grew to manhood on his
fathers farm, and when the civil war
broke out he espoused the cause of
the Union, entered the Federal army,
making a gallant soldier until he
received his discharge. In battle he
was wounded in one of his thighs, and
the wound had not thoroughly healed
when he returned home. As soon as
he was able, he resumed farming. A
short time after the war he was mar
ried to Miss Dorinds Taylor a sister
of DR.. S. A. Taylor, Joppa, this coun.
ty. He later bought farm in the
neighborhood where he married, and

OIL NEWS.
lBY E. T. KENIPER

All drilling rigs operating in the
county are making satisfactory prog
ress, and encouraging formations are
being encountered in every section.
So far, no wells have been completed,
but it is confidently expected we will
have some good strikes" in the local
field at no distant date.
Mr.. J. B. Doolittle, who is temper
arily located here looking after his
drilling operations on Cedar Creek,
has gone to Worcester, New York, to
spend the holiday season with his
family. He will return here early in
January.
Mr.. W. F. Coast, CincinnatL one Of
the pioneer and prominent operators
of the country, who has some valua-
BILE leases in the Greensboro field, was
here during the past week making
preliminary arrangements for drilling
in this territory at an early date.
The Sheridan drilling operations on
Pumpkin Greek, near Jamestown, are
progressing as rapidly as conditions
will permit, and good report is ex-
pected from there daily. Another
rig is reported to be at Burnside ready
to be shipped by boat to a location on
the Cumberland River at a point be
tween Greensboro and Rowena.
Another fine well has just been
drilled in by Richardson 8 Golf for
the Southern Oil g. Refining Com
pany, at Bakertou, this being the
fourth good strike there within the

past few months. The new well is
ITO feet in depth, and phone mes
sage from the field men, soon after
the we'll was brought in, reported the
flow of oil so stroUg they could not
control it.
One Of the most important items in
connection with the development of
the local field is that given out by
Mr.. Geo. Fl. Palmer, president and
general manager of the Palmer Oil &
Gas Company, to the effect that as
soon as they complete the test now
being made on the ]. S. Royse farm,
they expect to install a regular Stand
ard drilling rig, such as is used in the
western and other big fields Of the
country. and they will then be pre-
pared to go any reasonable depth.
The exact location of the big opera
tions is not yet givin out, but it will
be near Columbia. MeSsrs. A. T. and
f. C. Lowe, drillers for the company,
are western operators of wide expert
ence, having been connected with
some of the largest operations in Ok
Iah6ma, and they are we'll fitted for
the work attending the operating of a
Standard rig.

on this plantation is where his child

lumbia while her husband was Jailer
of the county, and the children who
survive him are FlaVious, S. r DR.
P. H. of Elizabethtown, and 10 z.
CoRoyer and one daughter, Mrs N. H.
Moss, of GradyVille. There are also a
number of grand children and one
brother, Mr.. S. B. Conover, who lives
a short distance from this place.
The deceased was a member of the
Christian Church, and his walk
through life was marked for good
citizenship and christian character.
As a soldier he was fearless and obedi-
ent to those in command.
There are about six of his comrades
yet living in Adair county and they
all speak of him in the highest terms.
He was a most accommodating neigh
Dor, at all times ready to do his bit for
charity, and it is said he never turned
friend aside who asked for favor at
his hands.
He served this county eight years as
Jailer, making very efficient officer.
Funeral services were hold at Pleas
ant Hill Wednesday forenoon, con-.
Quoted by ED. z. T. Williams, sssisted
by ED. F ]. Barger. Many relatives
and friends were present, to pay their
last respects to one who had been hon.

lived Christian life from early man
hood to a ripe old age, being abo ut
years old.
To the surviving sons and daughter.

sympathy. His body rests in Pleasant
Hill cemetery, and his spirit has re-
turned to God who gave it.

BILBo RENEcING

We note that former Gov. Bilbo is credited by the Clarion
Ledger with saying that he disapproves the $~5,000,000 bond is
sue provided by the legislature, the 8 mill tax levy, the increase
in all salaries including thesGovernors and Judges of the Su-
preme Court, and further that he frowns upon the effort made
by certain legislators to pay themselves $3.50. in excess of what
is provided by the Constitution. Now it is not our business to
disapproves, but to our way of thinking he is reneging after
Having bid trumps.
If Mississippi ever had an Executive who preached spending
and who, in that respect at least practiced what he preached,
to the legislature ties the acrobatic, Josh Billings definition of
the pe~stiferous flea Ex-Governor, to the bond issue hand and
foot. t N
The Clarion-Ledger also quotes "Theo" as saying that had he
his own salary increased after having been elected by the people
by a legislature over one branch of which he presided as 1t
Governor. We are OF the opinion that "Theo" is reneging
again or is talking shop" while following his custom Of cutely
winking his left eye to the fellow on the side.
But the issue for the present at least as to bond issues and a-
preparations is between him and Gov. Russell and we plead
guilty to not being inclined to act the part of the political peace
maker. Just somehow or somehow else, we feel inclined to say,
go to it boys"
Gov. Bilbo approved just before he went out of office, his erst
while friend CD, Lees, increase in salary.
While perhaps it may be said to be none of our business, we
confess that our %lachrymal glands are not the least agitated
Gov. Russell has sided with Ex-senator Vardaman to declare
Bilbo an Ishmaelite so far as their political household is con-
cerned? .
Not being of that class, as Henry Watterson once said of the
Republicans, who stick their nose into other peoples business,
the public interests prompt us to make another query and it is
this: Is it not true several gentlemen, one of whom presides ov-
er an important State Institution to which he was appointed by
Gov. Bibo, went to Gov. Russell during the sitting of the legis-
lature and asked that "Theo" be made a member of the State
Tax Commission, but nary a promise could be secured?
1t looks to a man up a tree that the present occupant of the
office owes Bibo no small account politically. Pos
siby Bilbos endorsement of our whipping h out of Ger
many and his defense of President Wilson in his last message
is responsible for separating him from some of his former po-i
litical friends GU

The city of Jackson is raising a howl-a righteous one-over
the fact that the Census Bureau credits her with having a pop
ulation of only 22,679. The Census Bureau showed bad judg-
ment in many instances in appointing as enumerators young
sters who probably looked on the whole affair as a lark and
went at the work in a haphazard sort of way.
