Tun^iewood, Jan. 19.—Tanglewood
‘ “f ,a?t coming to the front and
getting in the swim. Mr. Leach and
sons, expert oil men, came in several
< ays ago and in a few hours everyone
was becoming enthusiastic over the
prospect of a well being drilled here.
Land was leased from Frank Brown!
and \j or i began at once. By Satur-
day night the derrick was placed and
?u a/™nK«menti made to begin work
the following Monday. The derrick is
located about two and one-htolf miles
rom town, and has attracted quite a
Rood deal of attention. Most everyone
took advantage of Sunday being a
pretty day and those who cduld ride
went and the rest walked; so we all
w.ent- The business men can see peo-
ple of every class and station coming
m and money pouring in by the thou-
sands. We would like to tell them of
a place we know about. “A little oil
doesn’t always bring riches,“ but
ignorance is bliss and experience is a
dear teacher, and we are going to let
them find out for themselves.
We don’t know whether the oil ex-
citement is in league with cupid or
not, anyway he has been making
things lively around Tanglewood, too.
Last Monday Mr. Nolen Owens and
Miss Myrtle Kelley were married at
the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs.
Oscar Cook, of Lexington, C. I.
Braum, the Methodist minister of that
place, officiating. Before we had got-
ten over the surprise of this wedding,
Dan Cupid gave us another surprise
in the form of the marriage of Mr.
Horace Kelley and Miss Nell Wheat-
ley, which took place in Giddings,
Saturday. Both couples are popular
young people of this place, having
been raised in and near Tanglewood.
-The young men spent several months
in the service of their country spend-
ing a goodly portion of that time in
France. Miss Wheatley is the Sap
agent here and has filled that place
for two years.
Horace* Keiiey, Bob Curlee, Tray
Roberts and C. P. McClaren made a
business trip to Rockdale last Thurs-
day. They report the roads almost
impassable.
Mrs. Durham, of Lexington, is vis-
iting Mrs. Montgomery.
Hon. W. 0. Bowers, of Giddings,
was a business visitor here last week-
end.
The young people enjoyed a party
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jno.
Pounders, Saturday night.
Mrs. Homer Braum is reported quite
sick at present. Miss Annie Nelson
has also been on the sick list.
Homer Marquis has opened a new
barber shop here. He is occupying
a portion of the W. O. W. Hall at
present.
Grandma Chapman came in last
Monady after an extended visit among
her children, who reside in Cleburne
and Oklahoma.
'August Biswell left last Monday
nifeht for Henrietta, Texas, where he
expects to woTk in the oil field.
Friday night, Jan. 30?,there will lw
a box supper given at the Tanglewood
school for the benefit of school. Every-
body come.
