Six wells have been brought in
since our last week report. They are
as follows:
J. C. Stewart No. 1 was brought
in last Friday around 2,885 feet
with an estimated flow of 8,000
barrels. This well is about 1,000 feet
west of the discovery well and is
not an offset.
Monday saw three wells brought
in. The I. W. Thompson No. 2,
which is an offset to the east of
the J. J. Murphree No. 1 well, was
reported a 50,000 barrel gusher,
which extended the field to the
north and east about a half mile
and is about one and one-half
miles northeast from the discovery
well. This Thompson well came in
around the 2900-foot depth and is
reported the best well in the field.
It is claimed to be much stronger
than the Murphree well although
recent reports claim the Murphree
well cannot make nearly 50,000 bar-
rels. The I. W. Thompson is esti-
mated at a 55,000-barrel well.
The J. T. Thompson No. 4 well
came in with a weak showing. It
is a close offset on the west to the
E. B. Tunnell No. 2, which has been
flowing strong for some time and
it is thought the vacuum freaks of
nature underground may pull the
pressure away from the Thompson
well for some time but it will gra-
dually adjust itself till the pressure
becomes equalized.
The I. P. Tunnell No. 4 was the
third well Monday to gladden the
in the purchase contract and deed 1
designated this lot to be used for
store purposes. The final arrange-
ments made was to move the store
to the front o fthe lot and drill the
well on the rear. It makes a bad
mess of the main street in town
but we suppose such things have
to be.

ported Monday to be down to 1,415

MOVING AROUND.
Mrs. R. F. Hall and family moved
Saturday to their new home a short
distance west of town on the Dixie
Highway. W H. Emerson and fam-
ily moved Monday into the home
vacated by the Halls, one door west
of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J.
T. Hodges, the Emerson family hav-
ing been residing for some time in
the Stanford old home opposite the
home of A. J. Kellam. J. W. Bate-
man, county surveyor, and his fam-
ily also moved Monday, from their
old home into their new one just
completed nearby, in the western
part of the city on the Dixie High-
way.
The members of the crew of the
Gulf Oil Co., who have been mak-
ing Canton headquarters for the
past few months, have been trans-
ferred to Tyler, leaving here Wed-
nesday for that place. There are
several people in this oil family,
having had rooms or apartments
in various homes for quite a while,
during which time they formed
many friendships, hence their
orders to leave for another location
was a matter for regret for all con-
cerned.
The Van oil leases at times have
their ludicrous sides and especially
those within the old townsite. It is
well they do for the monotonous

Two of the incidents that have
caused some merriment and a little
source of conversation occurred
this week.
It appears that the J. W. Bolin
and E. C. Crim pardnership had
leased a lot on their acreage. This
had never been built on and the
oil company decided that if the two
were to get three wells one location
would have to go on this lot. To

2870 feet and is estimated at 9000
barrels.
This well is in the nest of wells
in the old Van townsite. It is on
the south side of the highway. It is
located in what was J. C. Crad-
dock’s lawn. Mrs. Craddock is a

this well her well, for she said she

In our weekly rounds last night
we found lights burning on eleven
derricks. On today’s rounds we
found seventy derricks in the field.
These include the three wooden

church Thursday evening of last
week, and heard the splendid ad-

livered by Hon. Galloway Calhoun
of Tyler, whose remarks were well
chosen and well received. Diplomas
were presented to six boys and ten
girls by Superintendent Hardegree.
Miss Rose Blackwell played the
opening march as the members of
the class filed in, followed by mem-
bers of the faculty and the speaker
of the occasion. A solo was render-
ed by Miss Johns, English teacher;
Lonnie Clark was salutatorian;
music, “Leaving the Nest,” was ren-
dered by Misses Lucile Goode and
Lanora Harris, and Miss Nell Mc-
Mahon was valedictorian.
The seventh grade graduating
exercises were held at the Metho-
dist church last Friday evening,
there being 27 boys and girls in
the class, who were addressed by
County School Superintendent A. O.
Loughmiller in his helpful, instruc-
tive and entertaining way, his ad-
dress being enjoyed no little by
the large audience. Miss Arlene
\ Steed, teacher, played the proces-
” sional as the girls entered from one
door and the boys another. Rev. E.
S. Brawner, pastor of the church
mentioned, gave the invocation. A
delightful song number was given
by Miss Charlcie Waldrip, tempor-
arily residing in Canton, her accom-
paniments being by Miss Waynie
Smith at the piano and Mr. Rhine-

gave a splendid piano number.
Odell Dunbar was salutatorian,
