Drilling of Laney Well
to Be Resumed Soon
Information has reached this office
that Daniels & Grant, oil operators
of Oklahoma City, have closed a deal
with the Texas-Iowa Syndicate
whereby they take over the holdings
of the latter company, including the
rig at the Laney well No. 2, and will
push the work to completion. This
well is located a few miles west of
Iredell, and the formation so far en-
countered has been satisfactory and
it is thought that oil in paying quan-
tities will be found. The drilling of
this well has been held up for various
causes, but the new operators state
* they expect to push the work as
rapidly as possible.

mitted to return home soon.

Next Sunday is Mothers' Day, and
it is a day that every man, woman
and child should honor in memory of
the one, who in most of our hearts,
comes next to the blessed Savior Him-
self.
No more beautiful tribute to the
mothers revered by all than to wear
a flower to show our gratitude, esteem
and love for the one who suffered so
much that we might live.
The memory of the mother who
has passed away is sacred to us, and
the least we can do is to wear a
white flower in her memory and so
live that we will be an honor to her
name.
If your mother is living, strive to
make this the day of all days, one
which she will long remember by the
loving tribute shown by her sons and
daughters. If possible, visit your
mother on this day; if not within
visiting distance, write her a letter—
but least of all, wear a red flower in
memory of her on this day.
This is a day that all should ob>-
serve properly, and thereby honor
her to whom honor is due.
Annual memorial services will be
held at Rock Church this year on
Sunday, May 14th. Everybody is in-
vited to attend.
Services iVt Nazarene Church.
"Mother's Day" will be observed
Sunday at the Nazarene church with
special music and sermon for the
Occasion. We cordially invite all to
come and worship with us.
Let's honor our mothers Sunday
by going to church.
R. M. Hocker, Pastor.
Fred Warrington, a former citizen
of Meridian, is now postmaster at
Valley Mills, having assumed the
duties on last Saturday.

Ft. Worth Man Injured
In Auto Accident Here
R. K. Patrick, a traveling salesman
with headquarters in Fort Worth,
came near losing his life four miles
south of Meridian last Saturday
afternoon while en route here from
Clifton, when his car turned over,
with the result that he received a
couple of *»frad cuts on his -forehead
and right hand injured, (and it was
thought at the time was internally in-
jured. He was brought to Meridian
where he received medical attention,
and left on the 5:30 train for his
home in Fort Worth. At last report
he had recovered from the injuries
and was able to resume his duties.
The car, a Dodge roadster, was dam-
aged considerably, the cost of re-
pairing same being estimated at
$200.00, the top being ruined, steer-
ing post broken, headlight damaged,
and practically all of the spokes
broken from some of the wheels.
The accident happened just after
he had passed another car near the
Tanner farm, and it being on smooth
road it is thought he was traveling
rather fast, as passengers in the car
he passed state that it appeared that
his car turned over about three times
before stopping.
Quite a nice crowd was here Sat-
urday attending Trades Day, and our
merchants report having done a very
nice business. The program arrang-
ed for this occasion was highly en-
joyed, and the various prizes offered
were closely contested. The next
Trades Day will be held on Saturday,
June 3rd, and plans are being made
to make it more enjoyable and pro-
fitable than any held here before.
Watch for further announcements,
but in the meantime make your ar-
rangements to attend.
Miss Myra Blaker, advance agent
and junior girl of the White &
Myers Chautauqua, is here and is
making the necessary preparations
for the Big Meridian Chautauqua
next week. The Junior tent will be
put up tomorrow. Miss Blaker re-
quests all children under 12 years
of age to attend Play Festival at the
tent tomorrow, night (Saturday), at
7 o'clock. Admission free. Free
Chautauqua tickets will be given to
those who find them.
Floyd Lester Died Tuesday.
After an illness of several weeks
duration, Floyd Lester, age 15 years,
9 months and 7 days, died at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
H. N. Lester, five miles west of Meri-
dian, Tuesday morning, May 9, 1922,
at 10:05 o'clock.
Floyd had a spell of sickness when
he was about three years old that
caused him to be a cripple. But not-
withstanding his handicap he develop-
ed into a bright youth. He was a
boy of pleasant appearance and had
a bright intellect. He professed
faith in Christ several months ago,
but had not joined any church. A
short while before his death his
mother ^ said something to him about
keeping his feet warm, he replied
that was alright that he would soon
be cold all over. He told his mother
that he was prepared to go and had
no fears of the hereafter. This fact
should be a source of much satisfac-
tion to his loved ones and friends.
Of course, Floyd will be missed.
He will be missed in his home, in his
Sunday School class and at church,
for Floyd always attended the serv-
ices of the church when he could.
While we sympathize with his par-
ents, brothers and sisters, yet we
know from sad experience that time
is the only thing that will heal the
wounded hearts of his loved ones.
We are sure that you would not
have him come back to this world
of sorrow and pain, therefore we
would recommend you to the God
that Floyd loved and who has taken
him home where he will ever bask
in the eternal sunshine of a Savior's
love. He alone ran give you consola-
tion and peace. Floyd can never
come back to you but it is your priv-
ilege to go to him. And the only
way is to accept the Christ that Floyd
had accepted.
In the presence of quite a congre-
gation of his friends, Rev. Hocker
conducted his funeral at the Hanna
graveyard, four miles northwest of
Meridian, Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Had it not been the condi-
tions the roads were in many more
of his friends would have been there.
A Friend.
At an election held at Clifton on
May 2nd, four proposed bond issues
were submitted to the voters, three
of which carried by nice majorities,
while one was defeated by nineteen
votes, it being for a $50,000 bond is-
sue for sewerage purposes. We are
informed that another election will
be ordered at an early date in an
effort to carry thin one. The issues
that carried are as follows: $20,000
for water extension, $25,000 for city
auditorium, and $35,000 for light
plant.
Baptist S. S. Had Good Attendance.
There were 156 present at the
Meridian Baptist Sunday School last
Sunday. This is the best attendance
we have had in several years. Let's
strive to keep this record by encour-
aging those who do not go to Sunday
School to join us. Be a "booster" for
your Sunday School and come every
Sunday.—Secretary.
De Molay Chapter
Organized Tuesday
A local chapter of the Order of
De Molay for boys was organized
here last Tuesday night, sponsored
by Meridian Chapter No. 153, Royal
Arch Masons.
The following officers were elect-
ed to serve during the ensuing term:
Master councilor, Thomas Robertson;
senior councilor, Dannie Conley; jun-
ior councilor, T. C. Hallmark; scribe,
Mabry Orr; treasurer, Percy Smith;
chaplain, Owen Earl; senior deacon,
Baxter Miles; junior deacon, Lowell
Pearson; stewards, Chas. Barker, Jr.,
and Frank Grimes; almoner, Lee
King; sentinel, Mark Gardner; mar-
shal, J. S. Lamar, Jr.; organist, Dan-
nie Conley; standard bearer, Buford
Pearson; preceptors, Lewis Latimer,
Mabry Orr, Kirk Williams, Hobart
Powell, Reynolds Dunlap, J. S. Lamar,
Jr., and Owen Earl; orator, Percy
Smith; De Molajr, Harrison Turner;
inquisitors, Lewis Latimer, Chas.
Barker, Jr., and Carl Cole; conductor
of accused, Chas. Hunter.
The chapters are always sponsored
by a Masonic body, and for that rea-
son many outsiders are of the opin-
ion that it is a body of youthful
Masonry, but in reality it is no part
of Masonry and no solicitation is per-
mitted by those who are privileged to
attend its meetings in behalf of
Masonry.
The organization is composed of
Master Masons' sons and their chums
between the ages of 16 to 21 years.
The great aim of the chapter is to
teach and practice the virtues of a
clean, upright, patriotic and reverent
living for boys preparatory to the
approach of manhood, and it is to be
hoped that the parent who is not a
Mason will not get the idea that the
De Molay is instituted with the prime
object of increasing the membership
of the Masonic order. Such is not
the case. De Molay is a boys' fra-
ternity for boys, under Masonic su-
pervision and guidance, and unless
the boy elects to go farther, his rela-
tionship ceases when he reaches the
age of 21 years.
Rev. C. N. Morton left Wednesday
morning for Hot Springs, where he
goes to represent the Board of Fi-
nance of the Central Texas Methodist
conference before the General Board
of Finance of the Church, in laying
plans for raising a ten million dollar
Endowment Fund for worn our
preachers. While in Hot Springs,
Bro. Morton will also take time to
look in on the General Conference,
which is in session there. He will be
gone about ten days.
Wintz-Diehlmann Nuptial
At the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. Wintz, Wed-
nesday afternoon, May 10th, 1922, at
4:30 o'clock was soleminized the
marriage of their daughter, lone, to
Mr. Geo. J. Diehlmann, Rev. J. W.
Bowden officiating. The happy couple
left on the afternoon train for points
in North Texas where they will spend
their honeymoon, after which they
will make their home in Breckenridge,
Texas.
The bride is one of our choicest
young ladies. From a little girl she
has grown up in our midst, honored
by old and young alike. The groom,
who is a business man of Brecken-
ridge, is a stranger to us, but judg-
ing from what the bride is worthy of,
he is a good and noble man.
The Tribune joins their many
friends in wishing them a long,
pleasant and prosperous life.
