Fort Griffin, now a small hamlet of only thirty-five or forty people
was at one time a Mecca of West Texas, boasting several thousand
population. All that remains of the old Fort as evidence of its former
glory are the walls of buildings that have fallen into decay. The old
bakery building has withstood the ravages of time fairly well, for it
is in a fair state of preservation, even to the bake ovens that were
used by the post.
Sergt. Jacob Howarth, now living in England, recalls the erection
of the flagpole at Fort Griffin. The event was considered of great
importance and worthy of a real celebration. Bottle upon bottle of
whiskey was tossed into the hole as the pole was being raised up in
place. Dirt was thrown in and tramped. In time the pole decayed and
fell, leaving no trace.
As whiskey became more and more scarce, interest was shown in
trying to find the spot where the pole stood, but it never has been
located. Howarth has a map that shows the location of the pole, and
indicates that if lie ever returns to this country he feels certain he
can locate the liquor cache.
The above clipping is from the Irish World, published in Dublin,
Ireland. It was sent u.- by diehard J. Malone, another Irishman who
lives in Caldwell, Kansas. He reads the Albany News, as nearly every-
body else on earth doe- So we publish same. Of course this will
-tart another digging campaign, as nearly all that old military campus
lias been digged up in the search for this coveted licker. And, say.
Wichard, it makes our mouth water to think about how good it is by
this time, mellow and ropey--O gee, just one nip of it would make
a fellow a millionaire If we find it, Richard, we'll tell you how good
it wa- lly this time, it'.- fifty yearn old or better—Get that plat,
Richard, if you can.

La-t week we reported the extension of the Cook pool a quarter
of a mile in section 61. Our report was one hundred barrels, glad
to say that tile same lias increased, and now making two hundred
barrel . Two new wells have been brought in since our last issue on
Sec iiO These two wi lls an making four hundred barrels each Yes,
the pool is looking up, getting better further on. Now the lloeser-
Pendleton have eighteen well., on the sand, have been standing ther«
since a-> pring, wating for a better ore for 'rude oil, now we un
derst.ind that these wells will be drilled iii iii the near future, md

A mow is now on foot for the opening of a new road to the north-
went part of Shackelford county, giving the Hastings and Herryhill
communities pannage way, a nearer route down to the county site, in
other words, it will be a cut off or direct road, cutitng off many miles
and putting those communities in direct touch with Albany. The Cham-
ber f Commerce Road Committee have the matter in charge, and in
the very near future a petition will be circulated for signature, and
-ame will lie presented ot the Commissioners court for their consider-
ation. This road will run norhtwest, selecting the most feasible route, I
cross the Clear Fork of tin Brazos, at which place a bridge will be
built, then link up tlii said communities with the city of Albany,'
Thi- road will open up a va-t territory, and putting thonc people in
touch with a better market, will traverse the Cook and Nail oil fields,
giving that part of the county access to an excellent oil field market,
where they will find a ready -ale for their farm products, chickens,
ig- and butter, and ,-uch other \irm produce that they may have j
to -II. Now this is no l'al.-e alarm, of course the matter has been j
talk d befoi but thi- time we are going to get action in the matter, i
and ere lung thi.- road will be a reality, one that will tie two commun-
ities together Kgre.-s Ingies- Facilitates travel A chain, a pas- I
vige way for the exchange of commodities, etc.
