Rotary drilling machinery for
the oil test on the Guest farm,
half a mile west of Deport, is
now enroute1 here from Camden,
Ark. The well was drilled to
700 feet with cable tools, and
the formation here, according
to the Halesboro well, is such
that a rotary may be used more
effectively.
The test being drilled at
Halesboro is down about 1800
feet, and drilling was suspend-
ed Tuesday because a car of
fuel oil that has been ordered
had not arrived. Slow drilling
was encountered in this well
the latter part of the week, due
to a hard formation. ■ -
Derrick builders are expected
in the latter part of the week
or the first of next to put up
the big 96-foot steel derrick on.

all of this amounting to ap-
proximately $11,850.
Seven business houses were
remodeled, repaired or received
new finishings amounting to
aboi t. $950. A talking picture
machirje was installed in a lo-
cal theatre at a cost of nearly
$1500 and new machinery and
repairs to the amount of ap-
proximately $2,500 were made
at the three Deport gins.
The greatest expenditure
made by any One business was
$25,000 or more spent by the
Community Natural Gas Co., in
laying mains and building sub-
stations in Deport.
To keep Deport out of the
mud approximately 380 run-
ning feet of pavement was laid
at a cost of $1500 or more.
Summing up we find that De-
port has really made progress
during the past year, and as
the New Year dawns, the out-

The farmer’s evening school
will begin its regular meetings
Friday night, January 2. The
meetings will be held every
week when the weather permits
or called off for some other rea-
son, for six more meetings.
When the roads are too muddy
for night driving or if we have
extremely cold weather on Fri-
day night, the evening school •
will not meet. —~ ,
“Top Working or cutting'
back and budding native pecan —
trees with papershell varieties,
will be the subject for Friday
night, according to Mr. Hutson.
A great deal of interest in pe-
can budding was manifested
last summer and a large crowd
is expected Friday night. Na-
ture has endowed this commun-
ity with some of the best pecan ,
land in the state; and there
i or more im-
proved pecan trees on every
farm. Go to the meeting Fri-
day night, whether you have
any trees to bud or not.
Business institutions every-
where are taking their yearly

time for taking stock and sum-

of building and improving has
gone on. It is gratifying to
interested citizens to know that
approximately $64,150,00 was
spent here during 1930. Three
new brick business houses have
been built and while they were
constructed to take the place of
others destroyed by fire, they
are better built and more beau-
tiful than the old ones.

by a Deport owner and its con-

large building lots on the east
side of Main street which of-

of these buildings was $14,300.
