OIL BOOM Is ON
THE ROAD AGAIN

Operations have been commenced
by Scott & Hickey, oil operators of
Toledo, Ohio, on the farm of James
Patton, five miles northeast Of Hart
ford. The excitement has started in
our little city. The oil men are COM
mencing to come in from different
fields and are hustling to secure
leases.
The shallow we'll owned by Hol-
brook & Co, which was drilled to the
depth of 462 feet over four months
ago has been cleaned out and park
ed and is said to be doing eight bar
rels per day. The deep wells on the
Carter farm which were drilled in
more than twelve years ago and
which have produced thousands of
barrels of oil are still paying pro-
position. The people here are ex-
pecting a big boom within the next
few weeks.

IF UNITED STATES
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Is To Be From The Fourth District
Why Not Make IL An Ohio
County Man?

Until the last few, weeks, the per-
sonel of the to-be successor of w. v.
Gregory, United States District At
torney for the Western District of
Kentucky, had been apparently set
tied. 1t seemed a forgone conclusion
that Judge Mckenzie Moss, of Bow
ling Green, would succeed Mr.. Gre
CORY, but these plans were foiled
few weeks ago when, unannounced,
Judge Moss accepted the position of
Assistant Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Since the announcement
of his appointment to, and his accept
ance of this position many possible
candidates for the position of Dis
trict Attorney have been mentioned in
the public press of the State. But
none so far mentioned have seemed
to meet with general approval. The
general trend of press comment,
seems to indicate that the appointee
should be Fourth District man. II
he is to be a Fourth District man,
why not make it an Ohio County
man?
We have a man in our midst that
measures up to the requirements of
the office, in point of qualification,
training, and adaptability, in the per-
son of ex-Commonwealth Attorney,
C. E. Smith. 1t is certain that the
incumbent will be called upon to un-
dertake a more systematic enforce
ment of the prohibition laws of the
Federal Government. Has not Mr..
Smith fully demonstrated his capabil-
tiles for such task by his splendid
services, while Commonwealth At
torney? 1t is the concensus of opin-
| ion of people who are familiar with
the facts, that the State prohibition
laws were more strictly enforced in
the Sixth Judicial District, than in
most any section of the State. This
result was brought about, in great
measure at least, by the efforts OF
Mr.. Smith. The other duties of the
office are in line with the training
practice and experience of our fellow
Countyman. Aside from the training
which especially befits Mr.. Smith fol
the position, he is yet young man
active and vigorous.
We do not know whether Mr.
Smith will be an applicant for APP
pointment to the position, but fee
sure he would not decline the position
should it be offered him. Ohio is
the largest Republican county in tn
Western part of the State, and Is GER
tainly entitled to substantial! recogni
ton in the selection of Federal ap
pointees.
If the appointment is to come Il
the Fourth District, and it is logical!
and politically entitled to it, no bet
ter man can be found therein thar
our townsman, in fact we are of tn
opinion that no more suitable MAI
can be found in the Western part o

players during the game, those start
ing going the whole route. Three of
the points made by Tinsley for Green
VILE were on free throws.
Something went wrong with the
timekeeper's waterbury according. to
several fans who also kept tab on the
time and if the time noted by said
fans was correct three scores made by
the visiting girls were landed in the
overtime played. If there was an err
ror in the time II was no fault OF
Greenville's however, as the Prophet
kept the time and if there was an err
ror in time We do not suppose it was
intentional, as the fellow whose first
name is Elijah and the next Thomas
would not, on purpose, pull that sort
of stunt.

happened Wednesday night, the %.
The game was fast and full of
thrills. No game was ever played
on the local court wherein better
guarding was witnessed, at least that
is the general verdict of the fans and
fanettes. Neither was it an old
time motherhubbard sort Of an af-

was a rub and it looked to us like the

there were any.

The ship left no passenger list be-
hind her when she set out for brief
trial run from Langley. she is
known to have carried many officers
and men as passengers, however, in
addition to her operating crew. AS
she rose from the field her command
er leaned out to signal that he had
forty-four persons aboard. 1t is be-
lieved he did not include one civilian
on the ship and that she actually car
ried forty-five.

Only those in the formal part Of
the operating compartment of the

Several we're injured severely by
jumping but three came out practi-
cally unhurt and were discharged
from the hospital within a few hours
after the disaster.
Lieutenant Burt, who. with Cap
tain Reed, was the principal pilot OF
the Roma, was one of these. He
jumped when the ship was only few
yards from the ground. A civilian
Roy Hurley, also escaped unhurt, as
did Master Sergeant Peek.
OF the forty-five who left the
Langley Field air station this after
noon. only eleven survived the acct
dent. Some of these, more dead
than alive, lay on their cots at the
United States Public Health Service
Hospital with burned and broken
limbs swathed in bandages. Some
had their faces smeared with cream
to relieve them OF their intense suf-
fering, while others lay asleep or
unconscious with only their closed
eyes visible. All who were able 10
talk were suffering from shock.

the control cabin at the time OF the
accident, said that the work of the
officers in charge was excellent.

GARTER SNAKES PiTIFUL END

One Of the most remarkable incl.
dents that has happened at Green lake
since August II, 1897, when. it will be
remembered. the famous man-eating
minnow appeared in these waters, hap
pened the other day. Little Donald
Dwiggins, five-year-old son Of Claire
Dwiggins, the cartoonist, has little
store near his fathers camp on Can
ada lake. He sells lemonade for pins
you know.
Well, In some way Donald found
bottle quarter filed with hootch.
He thought 1t would be nice to place
that on sale, too, though he had no
idea what 1t might be. He put 1t on
the counter. The sun struck 1t and
the cork popped. Some Of the liquid
escaped. There was an odor.
Soon afterward little garter snake
came humping up. He or she shifted
the air and then made for the bottle,
1t then drank that portion Of the
liquid which had fixed over, follow.
Ing which II formed hoop by Selling
Its head with its tail; no, its tail with
its teeth and rolled around the
counter three times.
II was the little fellows own pecu-
liar way Of shouting "Whoops!"
And then If 1t didn't climb up the
bottle and go inside, drinking copious
draughts of the potion. In a while
1t emerged from the bottle, did q
snake dance to a small sapling and
twisted itself around that sapling
Its expression seemed to say SC
plainly: "Whoopee! Get me sock
I'm a garter.'
OF course it wasn't garter at all ;
1t was merely a garter snake. Then
1t looked angrily around as IL looking
for some foe. It's expression now
seemed to say: Bring on st. Pat.
rick What care II"
Then the sad part came. The poor
thing finally grew very morose and
mournful way. 1t looked at Donald
Dwiggins In a way that seemed to
plead for a bromo settler. None be-
ing forthcoming it wabbled slowly to
the dock, below which coursed the
cooling water.
