50 ACRE LEASE IN LOCAL TER.
RITORY BRINGS $4,000

Leases in the vicinity Of the Carl
Golf well being drilled about 4 miles
southeast Of Arcadia are beginning to
bring high prices, compared with what
has been paid in this territory lately
G. W. White. a colored minister, sold
the lease on 80 acres this week for
$4,000 per acre. This land is located
1-2 mile from the we'll. $500 per
acre was the price paid for the lease
on 30 acres owned by attorney P. E.
Borwn, this land being 3-4 of a mile
from the G0ff well.
The Roxana Oil Co., seems to be
most active in losing at this time,
while other interests are taking some
acreage at good prices.
The light rig with which drilling
VISA begun on the Carl Golf well is
being replaced by heavy rig, with
which it IS expected rapid headway
will be made. A thorough test will
be made unless some accident should
prevent.

tractive school building. and this
should be an incentive to the students
to do their very best, and prove them
selves worthy of expenditures made
in their behalf.

mended for her efforts, as it was dur.
ing her principalShip the school be-
came a high school, and she was
among the first to advocate an ade-

her influence was doubtless largely
responsible for the realization of this

DOOR TO LONG LIVING

The men of eighty-five and ninety
years of age aer not the rotund, we'll
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, a man past middle age
will occasionally eat too much or of
some article of food not suited to his
constitution, causing indigestion or
constipation and will need dose sof
Chamberlain's Tablets to move his
bowels and invigorate his stomach.
When this is done, there is no reason
why the average man should not live
