SULLIVAN TEST WELL
 pENETRATES LIME ROCK
Now Drilling in Black Gumbo For nation Material on Ground for
 A Second Well.

The Sullivan we'll south of Foreman, which was the first of the week drill ing in what was thought to be the cap rock, penetrated that rock Wednes- day and entered into black gumbo formation Many had hoped that oil would be found beneath this chalk rock but in this they were disappoint- ed. The well is now, down 1000 feet and the drillers are going right ahead with the work. They also continue preparations to begin another well north of town. The derrick timbers have all been delivered. It is thought by oil men that the Sullivan we'll is now in the neighborhood of the depth where oil may be expected to show at any time. So far as learned there is no showing at this time.
 To Resume at Arden.
 The interval of waiting at Arden has been spent in improving the plant digging a we'll for water and getting ready for business. An electric light plant for night work has been install ed. MT. Grote, who has been north, has returned and announced that work will be resumed drilling as soon as a driller arrives, late this week or the first of next. This company has an investment there of $25,OOO it Is said. They had only started the hole and were down 100 feet to try out the rig before they stopped to make perma- nent preparations. x.
 Material on Ground.
 All the derrick material for the Pine, Prairie well five miles south of Ashdown, is now on the ground and it is announced that worx on its erec- tion will be started soon.

T0mberlins We'll May Be
 a Light Producer Yet

El Dorado, March 2-The sun cast it's ,beneficent glow today on the Lucas Tomberlin we'll and Jess Tom berlin's luck is with him still. The well has not been lost and may yet become producer.
 Swabbing resurrected it from the dead.
 Nine out of ten operators last night had given up hope, but today the prospects are much more favorable for well of perhaps 800 barrels or more. No one knows how much the we'll will make after it is "doctored, :" but some have hopes of at least a 1,00O-barrel we'll.
 It is good oil, evidently of as fine a grade as has been yet produced and if a we'll is made Of it, the field will be extended half-mile to the east.
 Salt water is the trouble. and the owners think it is in the top sand. Their plans are to insert a packer to shut the salt water out and to case off everything above what they call the second cap rock, but which other CTS call merely hard formation. It i3 believed they can accomplish this.
 The well made head" this after noon, and spouted oil about two-thirds of the way up the derrick. The drill- CTS then connected with the two tanks so that if any more oil spouts out it will be saved.
 The oil that came out is pure and clean, and there evidently was no basic sediment with it.
 All El Dorado isl pulling strong for young Jesse Tomberlin, nephew of Judge Lucas of Pine Bluff, who is trustee for his syndicate. He is a 1.-the, slim young fellow, red haired and blue eyed. and just 21. He was married last October. Young Mrs. Tomberlin was almost prostrated yes- terday when everything looked gloomy for the Lucas-T Tomberlin, but was in better spirits today. They are very pleasant and likable young couple, and deserve all the success that seems to be coming to them.

kR.. HARDING IS PREsI-
 DENT OF UNITED STATES
Had Mir. Harding's Wishes Been Ad- hered to the Inauguaral Fete
 Would Have Been Simpler.

Washington, Mar. 4.--Warren Gama- lie Harding was inaugurated Presi- dent of the United States today with ceremonies as simple as those the his- torians have described in chronicling the induction into office of George Washington more than a century ago.
 Had MT. Harding's personal wishes been adhered to strictly, the cere- monies would have been even more simple, but the congressional inaugur- al committee made some arrangements on it's own account. These included a cavalry escort of four troops for the president in his ride from his hotel to the capital and thence to the White House.
 This little cavalcade contracted strangely with the great military and civil processions which have attended inauguarations for half century or more.
 Besides the cavalry escort, the con gressional committee also had arrang- ed to have several companies of N- rines in full dress uniform at the capi- tol as a guard of honor and for the presence of the Marine Band, The Presidents Own''-which played 'sThe Star Spangled Banner" immediately after MT. Harding had taken the oath of office.
 The very simplicity of the cereman- ies on the east portico of the capitol added to their impressiveness. Simple and impressive also were those in the senate chamber, where Calvin Cool idge and sworn in by Vice President Marshall and where Mir. Collidge in turn swore into office the new sent tors elected last November.
 The days ceremonies began with formal calls on the President-elect and Vice-president-ele at the New Will lard hotel by the congressional com mittee headed by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania.
 Leaving the hotel, the presidential party proceeded to the White House where President Wilson entered the automobile occupied by the president elect. Mrs. Wilson joined Mrs. Hard- ling in another automobile and the trip to the capital was started.
 Vice President Marshall and Vice President-elect Coolidge occupied the second automobile in the procession while Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Coolidge rode in another car with some mem bers of the congressional committee.

This was followed by short business ses- sion, and then came the most interest ing number of all which )was a dis play of all kinds of fancy work, hand painting, drawings, fancy quilts, bed spreads. some of which were 75 years old, and some very tedious quilting done by "Grandmother- Hankins in her 7th year, was something really beneficial to see. And, oh the cakes, pies, bread, butter and other eatables made by the ladies of the town proved that we have some mighty good cooks And then a number of other things were on exhibit that were interesting to see which all goes to prove that our School Improvement Assoc:ation is wide awake.
 We already have sidewalks, street lights, lights for the scnool building and books for the library, which was all accomplished thru the process of our splendid School Improvement As sociation. We're going to keep on keeping on." 1 -aass'-

. nAmBER OF cOMmARcE J SELECTS | sL0elk
Two Suggestions Used in Cganbfna- tlon, Number of Committees Ap-
 pointed for Various Dfpts.

The officers and directors of the 1T etnber ol commerce met in regular session Friday night for the transac- ton of business. The slogan contest was decided at the time. There were numerous suggestions offered and on file from which the directors made a aelection. The slogan as adopted is: Fake It from Us The Heart. of Op- portunity." This is a combination of two suggestions. The first part was from suggestion offered by Mrs. ]. T. Caples and the second by w. C.. Hunter The prize of five dollars was divided between them.
 The question of selecting the slogan was quite hard one, the directors having probably hundred and fifty to select from, and t was indeed, hard proposition to come to a decision.
 The directors and officers, after att tending to the regular business of the Chamber of Commerce, turned the meeting into regular "get together meeting" and discussed the many pro- blems that we are facing today, with tendency to get together and try to make Ashdown and all surrounding country a better place to live. At a get together meeting of this kind much can be derived in general way. You are able to get pointers rom the other , fellow. and the other fellow can get pointers, perhaps, from you. The Chamber of Commerce represents the peopIe as whole, and every move that they make will be for the better ment and upbuilding the the town and county.
 g, It is not the idea of the Chamber of Commerce. to chase smokestacks and to offer a bonus for some industry to locate here, but to offer such infor- nation as they can and to help to build cp the natural resources of the county. We have the best county in the state, and the Chamber of Commerce is only going to show the outside world the Advantages our county has over the other counties.
