The paving of the Dub-

gushed up. Storage tanks
are now full. Pumping
equipment has been in-
stalled and a test of the
exact amount the well
would produce was to be
tested today.
Estimates now run from
500 barrels to 200, but the
exact amount is not known
at this time. Rumors are
that there is a small
amount of water but
nothing serious. Officials
of the well are well pleas
ed and contemplate fur
ther drilling activities.
Another well has al-
ready been spudded in on
the adjoining farm, the
Aunt Mell Smith place.
There is lots of leasing

max will be reached on the Day
of Atonement, Yom Kippur. or
"Sabbath of Sabbatha.” Septem-
ber 16th, when, according to tra-
dition, the Judgement is scaled.
The observance of the New Year
has ancient origin and finds It's
basis for Judaism in a Biblical
command found many places in
the Sacred Writ. In the book of
Leviticus It reads: "In the seventh
month, in the first day of the mon-
th, shall be a solemn rest unto
you, a memorial proclaimed with
the blast of the trumpet, a holy
convocation." The first day of
i Tlshri, the seventh month of the
Hebrew calander, coincides this
year with September 6th.
W. H. Novit informs us that
his store will be closed Monday
and Tuesday, September 6th and
7th. A good many families from
near-by towns will arrive in Dub-
lin Sunday evening for the holi-
days. Among these will be: Mr
and Mrs. Chas Hoffman and fam-
ily, Mr. and Mrs. Sammy Wais-

Football Outlook
Good, Says Murphy
School is set to open on Tues-
day. September 7th, at nine
o’clock in the morning. Registra-
tions will begin at the same time
for both grammar and high
schools. The high school will
probably take in registrations
from local students on the pro-
ceeding Saturday and Monday,
however not many are expected
until Tuesday. Registration, the
Issuing of books and lesson assign-
ments will be given out from the
grammar school from nine o'clock
through the noon period. It is ex-
pected to be finished by noon
Tuesday, so that the students may
be able to spend Tuesday after-
noon in buying necesaary school
supplies.
Approximate enrollment wall
be around nine hundred students
who are expected to report for
registration. This Is counting all
students in this district plus trans-
fers.
The Dublin schools, which are
credited with 32 1-2 affiliated
credits, are In excellent condi-
tion. Mr. Wickline, principal of
the high school, stated that his
school was In very good condition
as no damage had been done dur-
ing the summer months. "The
grade school Is in excellent shape,
since It Is a new building and
needs m repairs of any type,"
stated^principal Llndley.
WmryiRked what the outlook
for the co'mlng school year was.
Mr. Llndley replied. "Besi ever!
I have a few new schedules work-
ed out on a new curriculum basis,
and if it is O. K . we will use It
instead of the old one I am sin-
cere in saying that I think this
will be a good year.”
Mr. Wickltne replied to the
same question In the following
manner, "I feel that we will have
* better school this year than we
did last. I do not see why we
won't, and my hands are itching
to get to work.”
Following Is a complete list of
the teachers, who will teach this
year In the Dublin high and gram-
mar schools. Also a list of the
