Thursday the drill in the deep well
on the Allen Farm in northwest
Cooper was down more than 1300
feet. Water bearing sand has been
penetrated and a strong flow of salt
water is issueing from the pipe. Prog-
ress is being impeded by encountering
rocks among this sand bed. Drillers
expect this stratta to extend to a
depth of near 1700 feet, as it did in
the other wells. No gas flow is per-
• ratable yet, but it was-not encounter-
ed in the other wells until a depth of
about 1500 feet had been reached and
the pressure continued to increase af-
ter the waterbearing sand had been
penetrated.
The drillers expect that it will re-
quire a week to reach 1700 foot level.
The Texas Midland railroad inau-
gurated its motor car service Tues-
day, and so far it has been very pop-
ular and quite successful. The first
southbound car passed through Coop- |

from Dallas reached this place at
12:37. Among those on board were

Mr. L. M. DeWitt of Mt. Joy and,To The Review:
The Enloe District Singing Conven-(Trustees of the Cooper Public Schools
; one-half day in our schools in-
specting the work of the pupils and
the teachers. We spent sufficient
time in each room and in each depart-
ment to arrive at an intelligent con-
clusion as to the merits or weakness
that might exist in any department
of our school aystem.
We think it entirely appropriate tc
give the public, through the kindness
of our papers, our. opinion as to the
general condition of the Cooper Pub-
lic Schools.
We visited the High School building
first and found about seventy-five
boys and girls seated in the auditor-
ium. These are distributed in the
eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh
grades. We believe this to be an ex-
ceptionally large enrollment in the

stations have been received at
.. hr from Mr. and Mrs. B. A.
Mi iyi of Ada, Okla., to the marriage
of tneir daughter, Miss Irene, to Mr.
Herbert S. Cooper, which is to be
^•solemnized at their home Wednesday
evening, November 6th. They will be
u ? at home at DeQueen, Ark., where Mr.
ft Cooper is interested in the mercantile
♦ / •.'business.
The parents of the bride objected j cordially invited to come and take part
to the match and it was necessary
for the couple to elope. Constable
Harve Toon of Cooper and A H. Hen-
drix of Lake Creek went to Greenville
on some business and it happened
they were on the train on which
the eloping couple was, and they be-
came frightened, thinking that the
officers had followed to intercept
them. The prospective groom called
• Mr. Hendrix off and told him that I
they had already married and inquired
if they were not after them, and when
he learned that they were not he got
Mr. Hendrix to go and tell Miss Rain-
agent; R. M. Patton, claim agent; and
George D. Hunter, general passenger
agent of the Texas & Pacific. Rep-
resentatives of the Dallas News, Mes-
quite Mesquiter, Forney Messenger
and Commerce Journal were also
aboard, and were joined by the Editor
of The Review, who went to Paris
with them returning at 3:17. The
motor car service is very popular and
seems to be very satisfactory. Mr.
McKay stated that he had a promise
from Mr. Green that he would put
four more motor cars on, two more for
passengers and two to carry express
and baggage, if these proved a suc-
cess.
The new Motor car service necessi-
tated a change in the entire time
table. Below is given the time table
at Cooper for all trains.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONTEST.
The Sunday school of the First
Christian church of Cooper will enter

High School department for a town
that has the scholastic population of
Cooper.
We were pleased to note such a
large number of boys in the High
School, and especially so when we r®
member that in most places it is such
a hard matter to keep the boys in the
High School. We believe that the In-
dustrial departments have added ina-
erially to the interest of the schools
and in some degree account for the
large number of pupils in the High
School.
We inspected the work of the
teachers in the High School and found
them to have their work well in hand.
The recitations were conducted in an
orderly way and the pupils appeared
to have their lessons well prepared
In fact, we express our sincere feel-
ing when we say that we were very
much pleased with the work of the ]
teachers and the spirit of the pupils
in the High School.
