JACKSBORO, TEXAS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1927
NUMBER 13.
Oil Report.
Jack County gets two new pro-
ducers and seven new locations
during the past week. Never be-
fore in the history of the oil de-
velopments of this county has the
activity been so great or leasing
so active as it is at the present
time. During the time from 20th
of July to the 20th of August
Jack County producers have run
through the pipe lines something
like 27,000 barrels of oil, or on
an average of 900 barrels a day.
This production is due to take a
very nice increase as several new
wells are nearing completion and
with the possibility of a pipe line
connection being made with the
Millet Pool in the northwestern
prt of the county where several
shallow producers have been com)
pleted.
The Seaboard Oil and Gas Com-
pany-J. W. Cullers No. 1, J. R.
oilers survey, Abst. 2188, topped
the sand at 1994 feet and oil rose
rapidly in the hole aceompaied
by some gas. This well has been
trjlled one root further in the
sand and is now flowing by heads
and is rated as a 150 barrel pump-
er. Te second completion during
the week was the Stampfly-Wal-
ton and Kell-C. C. Blodworth No.
1, J. F. Chears survey, Abst. 149,
which is making 14 barrels on
the pump in twelve hours pump-
ing time. The sand was encoun-
tered at 322 feet and drilled to
332 feet.

State Highway To Jacksboro To
Be Asked.
County Commissioner Boaz and
County Engineer Davis plan to go
before the State Highway Com-
mission early in September on the
proposed designation of the Jaeks-
boro Road as a state highway.
Davis said Tuesday that the date
of the trip had not been set defi-
nitely and was contingent upon
the time when the three state high-
way commissioners convene in
Austin for Fall business. Several
of them are reported out of the
State at present.
Improvement of the Jacksboro
Road is included in the county
road program which would be car-
ried out under the $6,253,000 bond
issue to be submitted to the people
in Oeober. ‘
The Jack County Fair, September
29th, 30th, and October 1st.
,
Just a few months ago the
whole world was astounded with
the news that one young man had
made a non-stop flight in an air-
plane from New York to Paris,
France, for the first time in histo-
ry. The whole world was ready
to acclaim this young man as a
world hero, and they conferred
the highest honor that could be
bestowed upon any -one person. ;
But this young man did not claim, -
his success alone, he did not for-
get his faithful airplane, and m
his many speeches; he referred to
“we.” His plane received just
the same honor and the same at-
tention as the young man did. Co-
operation, of the two unade the
flight a success. Though failure
of either one to eo-operate with,
the other success would have
impossible. f 1 “miM
Now what has the above state-
ment got ta do with the Jack
County Fair? I will answer it for
you by saying that the pronoun
“we” is the key word tothe suc-
cess of the Jack County Fair. If
each person in the county will re- ;
fer to “we” and not “they”
when they talk about the Jack
County Fair, and will eo-operate
in every possible way they can, -
then the Jaek County Fair will
be a sueeess. But if each person
continues to use “they” (who is
they?) |hen no one will have the
fair at heart and it will he a fail-
ure.

premium list are being mailed out) Jp

When President Coolidge attended the Mt. Rushmore Manorial

Austin, Aug. 24.—Governor
Moody will do what he can to see
that the Texas National Guard is
properly uniformed and equipped
by the next annual encampment.
The Governor on his return
from the annual eneampment at
Palacios last week expressed him-
self as displeased with the present
uniforms, particularly with the
shoes worn by the guardsmen.
The Governor conferred on
Wednesday with Col. Taylor
Nichols, acting Adjutant Gener-
al, and Lieut. Col. Dallas J.
Mathews, questioning them close-
ly regarding the purchase of new
shoes and better uniforms.
The Governor proposed re-ar-
ranging the next legislative ap-
propriation for the guard so
that better fitting uniforms of
nicer material can be purchased.
Such equipment, the Governor
stated, “would improve the mo-
:rale and interest of the guards-
men.”
Battery “F” Returns Home.
Battery “F” returned home
Sunday from the two weeks en-
campment of the Texas National
Guard at Palacios. --The men re-
port that this was the most suc-
cessful camp that the local organ-
ization has ever attended. The
weather was ideal and the mos-
quitoes which were so bad last
year were gone, and the conduct
of the men could not have been
better.
A report was circulated that a
number of men had died in camp
but this was no doubt a mistake
as there has not been an official
report made of same.

«i few fines for non-observance. As
a general rule'the violations were
by transient people.
Mr. Counts wants' it distinctly
understood that the purpose c
