every indicatim points to the final
completion of a big-pay oil well
there. Drillers have been engaged
this week in an leffort to dislodge a
“packer? so it may be removed and
sent to Dallas for repairs. This
packer i* described as a mechanical
device resembling a large cork screw,
composed of cloth-covered spiral
springs which. When tripped, spread .
out'against the earth walls of the j
well amt shut ofj everything below j
them. *^ln lowering this packer, it'
wah accidentally tripped about 26!
feet from the bottom of the hole.1
Another device known as a spcar was ;
lowered through gnd beneath the j
packer, and efforts this week have;
been centered toward dislodging the i
l>acker and getting it out nf the hole •
to lie repaired. It was stated this ,
afternoon that these efforts had been
partially successful and that the •
packer was raised considerably Wed-1
nesday. Final test of the oil sands 1
depends on the removal of the packer,
paving repairs made and then lower-
ing it again to the bottom of the
nble. When the packer is correctly
seated, tlie water and nil will lie
bailed out and the real test made,
it is reported.

Very few Gainesville citizen* realize

crops.

be a good idea to arrange matters to

and lie re^dy when the rush comes a •
little later on. Whiteslioro is going
to bn^d a- good road from that town
to the Callisburg field and it will
get a big share of the oil field trade
if Gainesville should neglect building

would not otherwise be able to at-

said the speaker. He then turned
his remark* to the teachers, saying
the influence of the educator is not
waning but i» increasing, not so
much in the small places as in the
big cities, where crowded% conditions
him! the economical stiuation give the
children more in the keeping of the
teacher than the parents. High,
schools and colleges are towers of
strength. The teacher hardly knows
his power and there is more coming,
said Mr. Cockrell.
“Education does noli, stop at the
campus. The city itself is education.
The creations of"other minds inspire
children to love art, culture, refine

fine -jnilnds in the secluded moun-
