V Nursery, May 21.
Refreshing showers gladened
the hearts of the farmers of this and
the Thomaston neighborhood Sun-
day night and Monday morning.
Crop prospects are very promis-
ing. Corn is in silk and tassle in
some fields. All the corn is doing
well. Cotton is growing very fast
and farmers are busy killing grass
and weeds. f Some of them are
afraid they will soon have to go to
killing boll weevil, though that
pest has not appeared in great
numbers yet. \
A good many of the farmers in
our immediate neighborhood have
planted a good many melons. The
vines are fast covering the ground
and before many weeks we hope to
see the famous watermelon ready
for eating and market.
Mra. P: D. L. Hilliard, who has
been visiting her daughter, Mrs.
F. L. McGee, will return to her
home in Sati Antonio this week.
Miss Uuice Hilliard of Kagle
Lake is visiting relatives in Nur-
sery.
Rev. MicGehes will fill his regu-
lar appointment at Concrete next
Sunday.
Rfev. Selfridge of the Presby-
terian church was unable to fill his
appointment here last Sunday ow-
ing to sickness.
The closing exercise of the pub-
lic school at this place will be held
Friday night of this week. An in-
teresting program has been arrang-
ed by the untiring and efficient
teachers, Prof.^ A. D. Alexander
and Miss Mae*Dean. This will be
followed by a public picnic on Sat-
urday and everybody is anticipat-
ing a delightful time. The ladies
of the Methodist church expect to
►have a refreshment stand at the
picnic grounds. Observer.
Progress at Beaumont.
A Preacher’s Harsh View.
Beaumont, Tex., May 21. There
are considerable developments on
tap in the field just now and real
gushers 1 are liable to take the
place of fake rumors at any
moment.
Dewey HeywdBd has about
reached the propefdepth with No.
2 and is liable to pull in a gusher
almost any time.
The-well is only a few feet from
the National and there is no doubt
but what it will be a gusher.
Work on the Spindle Top well
looks brighter today than for sever-
al weeks. They have secured the
services of one of the best well men
in the Peniiyslvania field, who is
going about the task of laying hold
on the pipe in a practical manner.
Tp to the present they have been
removing small sections about
eighteen inches in length which
was very slow and required a great
d^eal of work. «
The Spangler Oil Co. has been
^making excellent grogress for the
last few days and are down about
95ofeet.
The Texas and Pacific well on
Block No. 22 is down about 900
feet and operations are going on
without a hitch.
Very encouraging reports are
coming in from the HI Beaumont
well in the Iowa colony. They 1
are down 300 feet with a 12-inch
pipe. A small pocket of oil was
penetrated and considerable col-
lected on the waste pond. The
same man who was foreman for
HamillBros. on the Lucas well bas
charge of the rig and says the for-
mations are identical to those found
in the Lucas.

Nobody knows woman like woman. Men go to medical colleges
study books and listen to lectures. They learn indirectly of the diseases
of women, but they are men and can never fully understand the ailments,
the sufferings, the agonies of mothers, wives and sisters. A woman
Boisvert knows. She has passed through the trials
and tribulations of Her sex. She has been,near by when her sisters suf-
fered. She has seen them relieved and cured with Wine of CardhL Is
it any wonder she recommends it? Is it any wonder that thousands
of other women recommend it
They know. They have ac-
tual experience to prompt them.
They spread the tidings from
month to mouth, telling how Wine
.. , , . of Cirdui helps young girls, helps
the weak of all ages, helps and cures all womanly iUs. ^

“I sometimes think,” said the
Rev. Floyd W. Tomkins, rector of
Holy Trinity church, at the nine-
teenth annual meeting of the Law
and Order society, last evening,
‘‘that the only effective Way by
which to deal with these evils is
by drastic revolutionary methods.
It may be that a shotgun well
loaded and well used may be
necessary, or that a rope propely
applied may be a salutary lesson,
so much that is milder has failed.
“You may think this is wild
language, but let me say that in
my experience as a missionary in
the far West I havehad experience
where the lynch law seemed to be
the only recourse, and as an ex-
ample to evildoers, bodies were not
only to be seen hanging to the
trees for one day but for several
days. The Rev. Mr. Tomkins
dwelt upon the prevalence of
speak-easies and , brothels and
gambling places.—Philadelphia

The following important an-
nouncement comes froip a corre-
spondent in London: Mr. Jesse
Collings, righthand man of Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain,colonial secre-
tary of England and other British
capitalists are having tests of Beau-
mont oil made. It is understood
that if it stands a flash test of 120
Fahrenheit they will send a fleet
of steamers to Galveston, Port
Arthur and LaPorte to ship it to
England for fuel purposes. Cham-
berlain and the members of the
British government generally are
bitter against the Standard Oil
Company, which sells oil in Eng-
land with a flash test as low as 73,
which is the cause of considerable
sacrifice of human life.—Southern
Oil News and Rice Paper.

The people of South Texas are
invited to visit Cuero July 4. They
will receive a most : cordial wel-
come, be royally entertained during
their stay and get a good view of
the coming industrial city of this
sectiou.
Eli Whitney of Massachusetts,
a graduate of Yale college, inven-
ted a cotton gin, consisting of
spikes driven in a wooden^ylinder,
and having a slotted bnr through
whizh these spike te^lh passed,
and having a brush tf^^lear the
spikes. He obtained a patent
March 14, 1794, signed by George
Washington, president; Edmund
Randolph, secretary of state, and
W illiam Bradford, attorney gene-
ral.
Hodgen Holmes of Georgia, an
uneducated mechanic, invented
an improved gin, using circular
saws propely spaced, passing
through spaces between ribs. For
this he obtained a patent May 12,
1796, signed by George Washing-;
tou, president; Timothy Pickering,
secretary of state, and Charles Lee,
attorney general.
\\ hitney s invention, consisting
of a combination of a wooden cylin-
der carring annular rows of wire
spikes, with a slotted bar and
clearing brush, was fundamental.
The practical application of tlie
fundamental ide^was Holmes’ in-
vention of the saw gin, which con-
sisted of a mandrel], or shaft, carry-
ing collars separating circular saws
which pass through narrow spaces
between ribs.—D. A. Tompkins.

This Company owns the following properties in Beaumont, Texas, oil «listrict:N
1. A perpetual lease fpr oil purposes with 3-16 royalty of lucres of land io
Block 112 of the, Gladys City addition, in the Veach survey, in which islocated
the Lucas Gusher and others n -ar it. ‘ This land is located about six thousaud
leet northwest of the Lucas Gusher and only fifteen hundred feet northwest oftbe
fatuous Kiser and Kelley well, sold recently to a syndicate of Texas and New
Orleans capitalists for f125,000. " '* ■ • re
A contract will be let at once by the Creole-Atnericau Company for boring a
well on this property, aud we confidently expect to reach oil in a short time. * *
2.. The company has also a perpetual lease for oil pur pose •», 18ro\alty, on
twenty acres in the north half ofthefi IX Cheneth survey, lyiug.somh of the
Lucas well. This tract was selected by Prof. H. W., Wilson for himself and the
Sun Oil Company of Toledo, Ohio. PfOf. Wilson is one of the most distinguished
Geologists, having been on the ground, was there early and seeded thi* tract,
paying therefor the highest price that had been paid up to that time for any tract
of land. Our holdings in this tract are bounded, on the qorth by those of Jen--
nings Brothers, who are amoug the strongest individual oil operators in the United
States; on the south by those of Guffey and Galy, who are probably the largest
individual operators in the world; and on the east by-the property of the -SuiJ Oil
Company of Toledo, Ohio, who are probably the strougest oil corporation ia the
United States, barnng QuVy the Standard Oil Company. These lauds can hardly *
be purchased at any price.
3. . Also a fee simple title to eighty acres of laudin the N. F,. Chambers survey
between Beaumont and Sour Lake. 1 '
Th* development of the Beaumont oil field indicates that the best' territory ex-
tends from the Lucas Gusher on the southeast to Sour Lake pa the northwest,
where the presence of oil has been demonstrated. This eighty acre tract lies ou
an air line between the Lucas Gusher and Sour Lake. * ’
It is the purpose ofjhis company to develope these properties as rapidly .as
possible,beginning fh-st bj boring a well on the Veach survey tract near the.Lucas,
the Kispr &*Kelley and other spouters. It offers for sale for a short time, arfd af
par value, a limited portion of its treasury stock, the proceed^ qf which will be
used m this development.
