O'Clock.
Mr.. Conover was taken sick one day
last week, and In a few hours double
pneumonia set up which resulted in
his death, his illness"and passing be-
ing so sudden but few people in Adair
county knew of his critical condition.
He was one of the best citizens Of
this county, enterprising, ever ready
to take part in movements looking to
the interest Of Columbia and the peo
pie of Adair,
The hotel building now owned and
occupied by CSC. Jeffries, was built
by Mr.. Conover, and for year or two
he managed the hostlery over his
name.
He was gentleman of high concep.
tion, as true to his friends as the

the Columbia Baptist Church, living
consistently until tie final dissolution

NUMBER IS

an early date. He is much pleased
with the formation now being en-
countered, and he looks for a good
strike soon.
Mr. Elmo Pearce, Blackwell, Okla
homa, so well and favorably known
here as one Of the Iive-Wire oil men OF
the country, writes that he expects to
arrive here the first week In March,
and that several parties will either ae->
company him o. else will join him
here soon after his arrival in Colum-
bia. The gentlemen referred to are
all from the West, and they are tax,
ing more than passing interest in this
section as an oil field possibility.
The last well brought in by the Bea-
con Oil Syndicate, Chicago, on the
Campbell farm, Creelsboro, which was
completed recently, is said to be
very promising one. Like the Nc
Mead No. 2, on the same farm and a
short distance from the Beacon well,
it spouted quite a period to great
height. Drilling is being continued
on the same lease.
Mr.. W. F. Coast, Cincinnati, one Of
the pioneer and extensive operators
of the country, was here during the
past week in conference with Mr.. s.
L. Ginter, of this city, one of his as--
sociates, for the purpose of arranging
to begin drilling operations in the
Creelsboro field without delay. Ar
rangements have been perfected, and
work will begin just as soon as ma
chinery can be gotten on the ground.
Mr.. E. ). Schabelitz, drilling on the
Clint King farm, Brush Greek, near
Bakerton, and in close proximity to
the Southsrn Oil s. Refining Com
pany's wells, has just brought in a
fine flowing we'll at little less than
200 feet. This makes six recent COM
pletions in that immediate sections
and all of them are very promising
wells.
Mr.. Bee Whitis, Somerset, who is
vitally interested in the development.
of this section. was here on a short
trip the latter part of the past week
and will return again early this week.
Mr.. Whitis Is one of the men in the
business who does not get easily dis
couraged, and he stays right on the
| job.
| The McMead Oil Company recently
made their first shipment of oil from
Creelsboro, sending 800 barrels by
barge to Burnside, and they now have
a goodly amount of oil in their storage
tanks at the wells. The Day Oil
Company, Lexington, drilling on the
Granville Williams farm, near the
McMead wells, are progressing nicely
with we'll No. l and the outlook is
very encouraging for good compile
tion soon A little further out on tha
Albany road the Mutual:Oil Company,
Pittsburg, are temporarily shut down
with their drilling operations, but oil
is standing to the top in their first
well not yet completed. Armstrong
Brothers have IA newlirig placed ON
their holdings on the north side of the
river, and they will rush development
work to the limit. In the same local.
ity, on the Oy Armstrong farm, the
Carrahan Oil CompanyEare operating
two rigs, and they have already COM
pleted Que good we'll there. Among
other interestingIsitems from that
field comes report that refinery is
to be built there at no distant date.
1t now looks as II Greensboro will be a
real oil town ere long.

During his sickness he was not con.

spent an hour or two conversing with
friends.
He was very quiet, unassuming
gentleman. looking after his own af-

that fact. He believed that it was

laws of his country, and had no pa

this community who daily associated
with him from boyhood until he was
taken sick, can say aught against his
manner Of living.
In 1877, under the preaching of Rev
Geo. o. Barnes, who held a meeting
here, Mr.. Russell made profession OF
his faith in Christ and united with
the Presbyterian Church, living faith.
