Th<' Albany Lions Club cap-
tained by Hill Nail played ii dog
gone pood football Kami- against
the Graham Lions and \• -.n
though they wont down under a
one point defeat, th<* statistic.-,
of the game show that th« l.ocal
Loins Cluli played a better uann'.
The Albany Boys Rained more
yards and made more first downs,
and completed more passes than
the visiting Lions Club, hut a
tough break coming on the very
first play of the game, cost the
boys the gaine. The final score
was 7-0, hut it made verybody in
(+own that knew these fellows love
every darn one of them for their
yp'it and spunk, to get out there
Rrhen t hey were out of pract Ice,
land risk injuring themselves,
which some of them did, merely
to put more money in the treas-1
ury so that they could turn right
around and spend it for some-
thing for the benefit of Albany.
They all played a jam up game |
of football. What all thought ]

Captured Wildcat Still
Sheriff Goodman and his deputy, Jim Kelley, captured a wildcat
still this past week, found it down in the Lynch pasture, some seven
or eight miles southeast of Albany] -It looks to have a capacity of
about seventy-five or one hundred gallons —The Sheriff was on the
hunt of a stolen truck trailer, did not have his gun loaded for a
wildcat still Hut passing by an abandoned oil well, saw a cart load
iif tuff, it was covered over with a awgon dieet, and naturally a
fellow would think that it was some kind of machinery loft out in
the open space and covered over for protection from the1 weather —
Pie: M• Hut just somehow it looked a little suspicious, and that fellow Jim
Kelley, he's nearly full blooded Irish, and all Irish have a bloodhound
nose for boom', and so we guess that he got a scent of sour mash,
heiii e an investigation, and they discovered a complete wildcat still,
aboard a two wheel cart, just ready it looked like for a removal

just fairly roped when thi y poured it out of jugs and barrels—
Those were the good old days -Hut boy, they are gone -Everybody
had sure enough to goodness whiskey and brandy, in everybody's
closet and cellar, there sat the jug or the barrel—Tin preachers
made it and sold it, and carried it. in their saddle bags, just same as
other folk-.- And away back over fifty yearsi ago, we remember
reading our beloved MOTHFU'S old Methodist Discipline -And be it
aid that our Mother was a Methodist, and lived and died in that
faith and went to heaven, if there he one —Well, we were rummag-

Thursday morning—He had been ailing for several years'—High
blood pressure was the cause of his death—The deceased had lived
in Shackelford county for many years—For a number of yean he
was engaged in the cow business, but of late years luis been propria
tor of the Ward Cafq -He was a hard working man, diligent in hi
business and had built up an excellent trade—.Ward's Cafe *U
known far and near, and very popular with the whole public. He waf
born January 17th, 1871, hence liad passed the fifty-eight mil#
post. Deceased leaves a devoted wife, son and daughter, Jimmie and
Mrs. Collier Moore, to mourn his deat'n. Funeral services were held
at the family residence —Rev. J. A. Owen officiated. In his passing,
he left many warm personal friends who mourn his untimely paM*
ing—It can be said of T. A. Ward that he was loyal to his friends,
a wide awake fellow, progressive, always had a good word for hit
town, and his passing will be missed. The News extends condolence
to the bereaved family in their great sorrow.

Yes, over here in Shackelford county you never can tell just when
they are going to find a new pool —0 yes, the folks in Albany wake
up Thursday morning, us folks out on Four Hundred Row, and 1®
and behold, a wildcat well came in over niglrti—Yes right at otir
back door the crude oil was flowing—It's out there on the A. A.
Clarke fee---West 1-2 N. F. 1-1 Section 20, Blind Asylum Survey—
It's just a little ways east of Johnio C. Miller's home—About a
rocks throw from the court hous, can tell the time of day by the,
town clock from it, .so you see it's close in -It's owned by Hart and
Gist of Colorado. Wood and Schkade are the drillers—They picked
up the and at <170 feet, henrc a grass root proposition—Have tul'.led
into the sand just two feet They are now setting the casing—Al
yet no test has been made, but the drillers and the owner of it
estimate it at a fifty barrel well -It just looks like Joe and Mill
Ollie Clarke are going to have to see Paris—Liguid gold flowing
out there in their pasture, hence as the oil sport says—On silk vel-

Roy Went To Tulsa
Roy Matthew's, our water Commissioner, went to Tulsa, Oklahoma,
this pa t week to attend a big gathering of water boys—Wis don't
know but rather think that this meeting was national in scope. —Roy
came back with a big fever about 10 1, on account of Tulsa's won-
derful water \ tem It's one of the outstanding water systems of
the great Southw -t -.We looked it over several years ago, and to
av ti, i t of it, it is nme wat .r system -Don't roniotnb"r tho coat
of this water ystom, but it runs up into the millions—They went
away up in th" mountains of \rkansas, and tapped a young river,
ame hem" fed by -prill.'-, and by the way, some fifty miles away
from Tulsa. yet, they get their water by gravity flow —Yes, pure
spring water, and the supply is inexhaustible—Tulsa is a city of
ami. 'hing like tw o hundred thousand folks—Was built out in a des-
, i1 placet Some oil gambler stuck a drill down in Mother Earth, and
discover" I the liquid gold, and so this great oil town that it is, sprang
up over night <o to -peak -It's the headquarters for all the larger
oil compani, in the Southwest, hence, a fast city and growing ail
the while, All those vast pools of oil in the Osage Nation is contig-
uous to Tulsa, hem all that vast wealth that follows the production
of crude oil .Roy got a good line up on the Tulsa water system, went
up in the mountains to the source of this vast water supply—Of
emirs, he had a great time, and it's fine that our Water Commisslonp
er made thi trip, it enlarges his vision, giveis him an idea what the
people are doing in other parts of the world -Had an opportunity
to rub shoulders with other water commissioners, and get their view
point, hence, in years to come, when it comes to a show down about
Mbany's wat. r supply it will stand him In hand to advise us Just
what to do That time is coming folks, when Albany will have to
face the ordeal of an adequate water supply—Got to go somewhere,
got to find a water shed sufficient to give us ample water—All towns
that is, growing towns, have to just k> op on building new water sys-
t . , tiiey jast can't vision enough water ahead, for the reason they
