HENRY
Today I sit with vision blurred
And dimmed with unshed tears;
A lonchness has come to walk
With me along the years
To be with me at each new dawn.
And to walk by my side
Till sleep shall come to me because
A little boy has died.
I grieve that I have lost a friend,
Laughing, glad ten months old;
I vision him a little knight
Armored and helmed with gold;
His brave eyes sweet with fearless-
ness—
And that was yesterday!
He brought so much into the world
He took so much away!
But he left the g!ad courage of
His heart to go along
With those he !oved. to hearten them
To help them to be strong -
To whisper to them that, where he
Has gone, he'll ne'er forget;
That, though they see him not. his
love
Is walking with them yet.
They know that it is well with him,
That children romp in glee
Out past the farthest bounds of sleep
Else what would heaven be?
And they aw glad for him. out past
Life's pain and life's distress-
Just for the present they are whelmed
In life's vast loneliness.
Douglass Citizens Give
Dad Joiner Enthusias-
tic Welcome
Men Wanted
An enthusiastic meeting was held
at Douglass Friday night of last
week when C. M. (Dad) Joiner,
"Daddy" of the East Texas oi)
field was present and made a talk.
Dad Joiner, dressed in an every-
day business suit and with the RP*
pearance of a man about 00 years
jold, slightly stooped, talked very
frankly of the situation.
He told the crowd of about 50 pro-
perty owners and other citizens as-
sembled, that he was ready to take
over the holdings of the "Alto Oi!
Company" and wou!d dri!l a deep
test near Douglass if the property
owners wished to let him have the
leases.
"I am sure that oi] is to be found
in this area if we do not run into a
lime formation,"Dad told the crowd.
"This section is a part of the Sabine
Uplilt structure which runs across
East Texas from the north to the
south."
The oi) man told the audience that
he "had expected to dri)] on)y one
n'ell in the county, but the Alto gen-
tlemen had come to him with a
proposition to take over the leases
held by them in the vicinity of Doug-
lass so he would drill a well at
Douglass at the same time as the Sa-
cul well if the property owners would
join with him."
E. J. Holcomb, J. T. Wilcox and
Henry Berryman, all of Alto, were
present Friday night and each made
short talks. Holcomb and Wilcax are
partners in the "Alto Oi) Company."
AH expressed their desire to see Dad
Joiner dri)) near Douglass.
Charley Watkins, Jim Craft, Mrs.
Charles Watkins and others of the
Douglass crowd also made short
talks al) expressing their willingness
and readiness to enter into an im-
mediate agreement with Dad Jotner.
There were one or two proper., [
owners in the crowd who held back/
or refused to say what they woutd
do. It is expected that they will
change their minds and let Joiner
have their land.
John L. Koonce, former head of
the Douglass school system and now;
a citizen there, reported to the Her-
aid that "Mr. Joiner is to begin
operations at once, the weather per-
mitting, and guarantees to be ready
to go to drilling in 90 days."
"The citizens of Douglass were
overjoyed at Dad Joiner's coming to
that community to drill for oi) " said,
Mr. Koonce. "They know what he'
can do and wi)l do, because of what,
he has already done. He is a man of j
action, rather than words."—Nacog-
doches Herald.
