The people of Timpson and
vicinity are anticipating active
tests for oil in this section as
the new year 1936 progresses.
Active leasing by major com-
panies during the past several
weeks indicates their faith of
the possibilities of oil in the
territory northwest of Timp-
son.
North of Timpson, in the
Tennessee community the O.
T. Clark Drilling Company of
Longview, plans to spud in a
test well sometime this month,
we are informed.
The belief prevails in numer-
ous instances that the Rodessa
field will extend into Shelby
county, the area having recent-
ly been extended Into Texas

will conduct the funeral rites. prcKjucere aoon foy the Division
of Cotton of the AAA, A. L.
Smith, chairman of the Cotton
Allotment Board at College
Station, said in explaining this
provision today.
The division of the pay-
ments will be made on the fol-
lowing basis: 37per cent to
the person furnishing the land;
12 54 per cent to the individual
furnishing the work stock and
equipment; and a division of
the remaining 50 per cent in
the proportion fitat the cotton
or its proceeds is divided.
“This provision for division
of payments will make unnec-
essary the classification of ten-
ants,” Smith pointed out.
Operating under the 1936
contract, the share cropper
will receive 26 per cent of the
payments as compared to 15
per cent in 1935. A share ten-
ant, one who furnishes work
stock and equipment, will re-
ceive approximately 50 per
cent of the payments in 1936.
“The percentages arrived at
in the above comparisons
were based on a division of
three-fourths of the cotton to
the share tenant and one-half
to the share cropper,” A. L.
Smith said.
Intenne-.t win be made in the
Greenwood cemetery at Gar-
rison.
Deceased was born in Rusk
county, near Caledonia, how-
ever has resided at Stockman
for some 60 years. He was a
good citizen, esteemed and re-
spected by all who knew him.
His sons, Perkin Wilson of
Stockman; Robert Wilson of
Gladewater; daughters, Mrs.
Price Stephenson of -Van, and
Mrs. Nellie Newsome., survive
him.
Mr. Wilson was the grand-
father of Bobby Wilson of
Southern Methodist football
renown.

LOSS TO 6IST0M SCHOOL
’ i\ "" "
The gymnasium and eafe-
teria of the Gaston school, in
the East Texas oil Said, was
damaged to the extent of $40,-
000 Monday, according to
press reports. The Henderson
fire department went to the
scene of the blaze and render-
ed valuable assistance In
keeping the fire from spread-
ing to surrounding building*.
The Gaston school is.said to
be the largest rural school ta
the United States.
Mrs- ’W. E. Neal has gone to

her sisters of that eity.

preparing to put down a test
well on its 10,000-acre block
northwest of Timpson. The
Magnolia, Sun and Empire
companies have also d°ne ac"
tive leasing in the county and
are expected to test their
holdings at an early date.
This news, coupled with the
fact that 93 an acre was paid
for certain tracts here recent-
ly, has given quite a spurt to
Timpson's hopes for an oil
boom. It was reliably report-
ed here Tuesday that a five-
acre tract in "the middle of a
large block was leased for
$100, or $20 an acre, which is
by far the highest price paid
for acreage during the current
activities.
It is also believed that oper-
ations will begin during
the early part of 1936
on a large block of acreage
held for sometime by one of
the major companies ta the
vicinity of Concord, and only a
few miles west of Timpson.

A GOOD BANKING CONNECTION
The very nature of the banking business makes
it the most careful and conservative in the world.
The stranger cannot reasonably ask nor expect fa-
vors—the bank's most valuable service must be re-
served for the men it knows best.
The wise man begins early to build a reputation
at his home bank. Regular and steadily continued
deposits, even though they be small* will establish
a record for him that later will be of greater value
than, all the endorsements and testimonials his
friends can give him.
It is a great thing for any man to keep an ac-
count and establish the credit that entitles him to
a good bank’s recommendation and business as-
sistance.
