field as soon as satisfactory contracts
can be made with the producers IN
that section. With some six or seven
good wells already completed, and
others co be drilled as soon as the ma
chinery arrives, retiners are beginning
to sit up and take notice that a new
field is being opened up very rapidly,
and more than one concern is casting
longing eyes in that direction. 1t
will not be a great while until pipe
line is in operation in that field.
Mr. Frank Sweet, in charge of the
drilling operations of the McMead Oh
Company at Greensboro, was in town
Saturday, and to him 1 am indebted
for complete and first hand state
ment of the situation as it applies to
well No. 4, reported in this column
last week. Both oil and gas we're
struck in such quantities that the
flow became ignited from the boiler
fire, and it was with difficulty that
the drilling crew could either save the
machinery or themselves from being
seriously burned. The burning of
the drill rope caused the tools to drop
to bottom Of hole, ana the completion
Of the well is held up pending the re-
suit of Fishing" job. Mr.. Sweet is
of the opinion that the new we'll will,
when competed, be one of the very
best brought in on that lease,
Several drilling rigs are reported to
be headed for the Creelsboro section,
and it begins to look as if some very
active additional operations will be
under way there in the very near fu,
ture.

The engagement at this place last
Thursday afternoon, between the
News-Journal Club, Campbellsville,
and the Columbia Club was a dIsap-
pointment, as neither club seemed to
be in proper trim for the contest. In
the first inning the visitors run in
five scores. Will Young was in the
box for Columbia and Alvin Lewis
was behind the bat. The visitors
continued to gain uutil the seventh
inning when the home boys showed
evidence Of playing, gained a few
scores, and when the contest ended
the visitors had twelve scores to their
credit and the home team eight. AT.
ter the second inning Will Young sur
rendered to Simon Finn, who did
some splendid pitching, and it looked
to the onlookers like the result might
have been different had he been in
the box at the start. Young is a good
pitcher, but the best often have of
days. When the game closed the
players were in good humor, and an.
other meet will be called soon.

it cropped out that the affairs Of the
company were not properly managed.
The local men here put their heads
together and Mr.. ShiveIy was sent tc

Mr.. Shively was elected permanent
President, and a large amount Of
