Has Is Oil Wells.

DR.. Chas. Hale of Cisco, Texas,
formerly an eye specialist in Jones'
boro~is visiting friends and attend
ing to business matters in the city
and plans to remain here for about
one week.
DR.. Hale moved to Texas about 2
years ago when oil was struck on
his 160 acre farm and has devoted
his time to development. He now
has 5 producing wells on the land
and draws a revenue of several
thousand dollars per day.
Dr.. Hale is contemplating sink

north of Jonesboro within the next

The 160 acre farm was a poor
good-for-nothing, Texas land, left
DR.. Hale by his father. He wished
many times to sell it but kept it
for sentimental reasons, just because
his father had willed the land to
him. Now the hidden treasures be-

The number of tobacco factories
in this country is approximately
1851, of which 11,4S3 manufac

of more than $89,000,000 over that
of 1919, which, in turn was larger

The Rlinker Dog.

Did you ever hear Of "blinker"
dog? He is not a peculiar breed.
He is found among all strains and
even the human family has its
drinkers" For, a blinker dog is
one which, although knowing that
game is a little bit beyond his nose,
runs deliberately past it. He would
rather keep up the chase for the
unknown ahead than cash in on the
opportunity at hand.
Naturally, the blinker is known
most in the bird dog families. But,
in man you find the blinker every
where. If you know of an oppor-
tunity close at hand, that you with
your ability can turn to good use,
but seeking something else run
past you are a blinker. If so,
don't come around later bemoaning
the fact that another took advantage
of that which you passed.
Evidently, you will host often
find the blinker dog well up in the
front of the field. Other dogs will
be left behind, because they stay
to run the scent of game they find
in the territory over which the
blinlSer romped. So will you find
the blinker man away up with the
other men who are busy and active.
But, the other men have worked
over the field as they passed and
bagged some game, while the blink
err has nothing to show for his
efforts-what little he has made,
Think about the blinker dog to-
day and when you start on your
business activity decide to follow ev-
cry trail that your instinct tells

WILL WILSON
and Wife ARR;
BADLY HURT
Woman Who Was Murder
ously Attacked Yesterday
May Develop Pneumonia
MANS Brain Penetrated
(From Fridays Daily


VIII Wilson and wife who are
under treatment at the Paragould
sanitarium suffering from gun-shot
wounds as a result of the sensational
shooting affray at 702 North Pruet
street yesterday morning at 1880
o'clock, are more seriously injured
than was at first reported. Their
conditions are regarded as being of
a very serious nature, in the opin-
ion of the attending physician.
Mr.. Wilson underwent surgical
operation last night and one-half of
the bullet that was fired into his
head at the rear and above the
right ear was removed from the
brain. The other half of the missile
was removed from point just be-
low where the shot. entered. The
operation revealed that the mans
brain was injured, portion of it
oozing through the fracture. The
second shot the man fired in an en-
deavor to end his life struck him
on top of the head. inflicting only
a, scalp wound, the bullet glancing
away. The attending physician stat
ed that the development OF menin-
gifts is feared The patient is able
to sit up at intervals but is in a
semi-conscious condition and, APP
parently, has not realized the seri-
business of the act he committed
when ne endeavored to kill his wife
and end his own life.
Mrs. Wilson is suffering from
three gun-shot wounds in her body,
instead of two as first reported.
An X-ray examination revealed the
presence of a bullet in the lower
part of the woman's right lung.
It is the surgeons belief that one
of the shots that entered the side
ranged upward and lodged in the
lung. The other penetration was a
flesh wound. 1t was at first thought
the two wounds in the side were
caused by one shot. the bullet pass

the body. 1t has been discovered,
however, that both bullets entering
the woman's side are yet in her
body, one lodged in the lung and
the other in the flesh few inches
distant from the point Of penetra-
ton. Both hands of the unfor-
tunate woman were pierced by bull
lets. The woman is developing
symptoms of pneumonia as a result
of her lung injury.
Developments in the. two cases as
revealed by detailed examinations at
the hospital indicate that all five
shots fired in the murderous attack
took effect, three in the woman and
two in the man. 1t is evident that
the only condition that saved both
from instant death was due to the
fact that the gun used was of an
inferior type, shooting with little
force as compared with the more
modern type of firearms.
