THE ROMANCE OF HESTER
ROSS.
Secretary.

The Denver Post of Thursday car
ried a story of how some of the
Negroes of Texas who had acquired
small acreages of land years ago and
from which they had only been able
to eke out a fare existence, are now
growing wealthy on royalties paid
them by Colonel Humphreys and
other large oil operators in the now
famous Mexia district. In this con-
nection it is we'll to mention the ro-
mantle story surrounding the Hester
Ross 12.000-barrel gusher that was
brought in last Sunday.
Hester Ross was a hard working
woman of the race who owned a
farm in the very heart of the rich
Mexia field. 1t is known that at
times she experienced great diff
Guilty in making both ends meet. She
met with repeated discouragements
and setbacks, and many a person
with a heart less brave would have
forsaken the farm long ago. But it
was a home for her and she held to
it tenaciously through many trials.
Some months ago the Western Oil
Fields corporation of which our own
Governor Shoup is president, leased
the farm and began drilling a well
which they named to Hester Ross in
honor of the owner. She was to
receive one-eighth of all the oil pro
duced and today her share from the
monster well brought in last Sunday
is $3.50 per day. 1t is significant
that most of the large wells brought
in have been on land owned by Ne
groes, and many are reaping enor-
nous riches as a result.
One of our well-known Denver
colored men holds a nice block of
stock in the Western Oil Fields cor
poration. The Colorado Statesman
wishes success to all concerned.

VESPER SERVICES GROW IN
POPULARITY.

The popular Vesper services at the
Church of the Redeemer, inaugurated
some months ago as an experiment,
have now become living reality that
bids fair to grow in popularity as time
goes on. Certainly this will be the
case if the high standard set in the
past is maintained throughout. The
program rendered last Sunday was
little short of marvellous and it is safe
to say that everyone present enjoyed
every feature.
The address of DR.. Geo. B. Vos-
burgh, famed world traveller and lee
turer, and the tenor solos by Mr.. Shir-
ley Liggens were superb. A popular
chord has been struck by these serv-
ices and we predict large things for
them in the future.

ISAAC-LODGE.

One of the fashionable weddings of
the season took place on Wednesday
when Miss Charlotte Lodge, of Allan
tic City, became the bride of-Mr. Har-
old Isaac, of Mortified, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Isaac, of Pleasantville. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Fa-
Their Dietrich at the Holy Spirit Cath
Ollie Church.
The bride was given in marriage by
her father, Mr.. Richard Gardner
Lodge, and was attended by her Sis
ter, Miss Anna Lodge, as maid of hon
or, and Miss Emily Swami, Miss Mabel
Sooy and Miss Helen Isaac as brides
maids. The best man was Mr.. Rich
ard c. Lodge, Jr, and the ushers
were Mr.. Morton Collins, Mr.. Harry
Shawl, Mr.. Earl Clayton and Mr.. Rus
sell Lodge.
The brides gown was of white satin,
made with long panels embroidered in
white and a girdle of rosebuds. Pearl
ornaments decorated the sleeves and
the neck outline. Her veil was of
tulle, caught with a diadem of pearls.
The bridal bouquet was of lilies of
the valley and bridal roses. The maid
of honor wore robins egg blue geor-
gette, and the brides maids chose
georgette gowns of coral nile green,
peach, and pale pink. Large black
picture hats were worn by the attend
ants, and they carried Killarney roses.
The brides mother wore black lace
over black satin, and a large black
hat. The church was beautifully dec
GRATED with a profusion of dahlias
and palms.
Immediately after the ceremony
there was a reception in the Venetian
room of the Ambassador. Many local
people attended the wedding and re-
ception,

Mortified May Get
Free City Delivery
Plans Being Arranged to Extend
Service to Neighboring City
During Winter.

z In working out the plans for the
free city delivery for this city, which
is to become ~effective on November
first, it is now likely that the same
service will be extended to a greater
part of Mortified as well. Postmaster
Obert has recommended to the Post
Office Department that the service be
extended for about a mile and one
tenth below the Pleasantville bounda-
ry line, which is at the County prop
erty in old Smiths Landing.
Mortified residents now get their
mail by calling at the post office in
some instances and in others by the
rural carrier on route number two
from the ~Pleasantville post office. If
the city council adopts an ordinance
to compel sidewalk paving and proper
house numbering, as required by the
Post Office Department as a necessary
adjunct to free city delivery, then the
free delivery will be extended as soon
as these requirements are met. 1t
would probably require three months
to have the ordinance passed, side
walks laid and houses numbered, and
an inspection made by a government
official.
