 We were just wondering what to do when some of our party who had gone farther up the cliff returned saying they had found the very place.
 We packed the eats and climbing hign- CT up soon came to the place. It was large enough to shelter all of us and so there we ate our dinner.
 After we had finished we descended the cliff and hiking to the trolley line rode home Though the day was not an ideal one. we an had good time.

WILL RESUME OPERATINS AT
HOUSTON OIL WELL

1t is said that drillingoperations will
begin again in few days at the Hous-
ton Oil Well after having been shut
down some time on account of having
twisted off the drill stem in the well,
and other machinery troubles. The
contractor, Mr.. Danner, reports that
q special drill stem has been ordered
and he expects to have it here and
ready to begn drilling again in q few
days. Mr.. Danner has great faith in
the prospect for oil in this well and is
very anxious to renew drilling opera
tons. This is undoubtedly one of the
most promising prospects for oil of
any in the state. But it will likely
take considerable money yet to COM
plete the operations, and the people of
Houston and Chickasaw county should
render every assistance possible to this
undertaking, to determine whether or
not there Is oil here. Everyone who
can afford it should assist In this ven-
ture. We would not advise anyone to
buy oil stocks, especially away from
home. But since we have a most
promising prospect for oil here, those
who have suplus money might well af-
ford 10 put some into this test well on
the liberal terms which are offered.
should oil be discovered, there would
be \ great change in business condi-
items. Post.

ling. That Ed. Wilbourn had traded

Sartain for yearling heifer and had
delivered the bull to the stock pens
in Water Valley. That Tolliver re-
covered the bull under attachment
proceedings, and Wilbourn then payed
Mr.. Sartain cash for the heifer.
Wilbourn claimed he bought the bull
from couple of negroes whom he
did not know their names, but who
left soon afterward to join the army.
The jury found a verdict of "not
guilty" and Wilbourn was released
