The drill at the oil well at Morgan
this week struck the hot water strata.
It is said that the water in the forty-
foot bucket is hot enough to cook
eggs when it reaches the top, al-
though it passes through several hun-
dred feet of cold water.

Hon. Jas. M. Robertson, who is at-
tending the General Conference of the
M. E. Church at Dallas, was appoint-
ed1' chairman of the Committee on
Book Concern. This is an honor to

important of the Conference.

As Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Alexander
were returning from Morgan Tues-
day evening, they were attacked by
two panthers or Mexican lions. They
were about two feet high and four
or five feet long, one seemed to have
a shaggy head and neck and the other
was trim made. - When first discover-
ed they were coming towards the
buggy and Mrs. Alexander became
greatly excited and urged the Doctor
to drive faster; he did, and about
that time his little dog came up and
the animals made for the dog, the
dog jumped at them and they both
leaped at the dog. Dr. Alexander
thought his dog would be killed, but
later the dog came to them from the
brush, having escaped from the beasts.
These strange animals were eager for
prey as they followed the buggy for
about one and one-half miles.

Mean Plenty of "Pep"
They are the backbone of
Prest-O-Lite Batteries. Better
than ordinary plates, they
make Prest-O-Lite Batteries
better than ordinary batteries.
Prest-O-Plltes combine a
peculiar porosity with, an

great, heat-resisting, non-

lar Prest-O-Lite guaranty; a
definite, generous obligation,
plus a spirit that says the car
owner must be pleased. Prest-
O-Lite Batteries are specified
by 87 leading manufacturers,
