Keen Interest Shown
In Holmes Oil Tests
Noble Clay, Cities
Service Drill At
Favorable Spots

Two current locations for oil tests
IN Holmes county are destined to be
watched with keen interest in the
coming weeks, according to Missis-
sippi Oil Review.
One of the tests is the Noble Clay
well being drilled on the property OF
Sam Hall, three miles southwest of
Goodman. The other is the recently
announced new location of Cities
Service approximately six miles
northwest of the Noble Clay No.
we'll.
"One of the singular conditions as
ISOLATED with both of the Holmes
wells is the fact that they are being
drilled only q short distance from
test wells that have been previously
completed" pointed out the publ
cation.
In the history of most all oil fields
there has been the practice of drill
ing test wells first to determine how
and where to correct the locations.
The history of almost every field in
the state reads the same. That is one
reason why SO much interest is be-
ing manifested over the Holmes
county wells"

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hczel Brunnon

Our Christmas thought is o
tanned elsewhere on this page. .
but it is not amiss, we think, to ex-
press here most humble and
grateful appreciation for the many
kindnesses extended your editor dur
ing the past year.
l947 has been a good year for us
and we know that nothing could
have been accomplished without
the help of so many loyal and true
friends. we want you to know We
owe everything to you.
We shall try in the future as we
have in the past, to better serve you
all along. . to try to merit and de-
serve your splendid patronage and
support.
Thus we extend to each and every
reader our sincere wish for your
happiness on Christmas Day and
throughout the holiday season.
Miss Dorothy McBee, who has SO
capably served Holmes county as
superintendent of education for the
past twelve years, goes out OF office
on January Bird, 1948.
Her successor. Mr.. l.. r. Thompson,
goes into office on Monday, January
5th, 1948, to begin a four-year term.
Miss McBee, a representative OF
one of Holmes county's oldest and
finest families, has served more than
well in this important position.
Duties of this department have null
tiplied many times over since she
assumed office. She has discharged
every duty and responsibility effici-
emily and with dignity and has prov
ed that ONE in public office can
do and do acquit themselves adj
mirably.
She did not offer for reelection
choosing to seek other fields in an
other state.
With her 60 the very best wishes
of a large circle of friends in Hol-
mes county for her happiness and
success always.
We are sure that the following
words, which we ran across TINS
week, will echo a responsive chord
among most of our readers:
What the Nation and the States
alike need is the assurance to those
in private life that those in public
places have not lost the common
touch, that they still realize and feel
that in rendering service to the pub
lie they are themselves simply en-
joying one of the highest privileges
which citizenship in a democracy at
fordS.
1T was Solomon in all his glory
whose discerning wisdom told the
world that AS a man thinketh IN
his heart. so is he If in your hearts
you have the spirit of service, which
is patience and ~forbearance, courtesy
and kindness, cooperation, rather
than coercion, the courage of sim
plicity, without arrogance or concert
then you may claim the possession OF
those qualities which should endow
the faithful public servant, and the
interests of the State and its people
will be safe in your hands"
