DOWN 518 FEET
FORMATIONS HIGHER THAN
DISCOVERY WELL; TO
SELL MORE STOCK.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
new Delta NetCherly No. 2 at the edge
of town.
The driller. T. C. Felby. is skilled
in his work and is making more than
a hundred feet a day. Monday night
the drill was down 518 feet with a
9 7-8 inch bit.
The formation shews a decided rise
from the discovery well which is very
encouraging and the officials of the
company are very much elated over
the prospect. The Pecan Gap chalk
whs 21 feet higher than it was found
in the discovery w'ell, which was for-
cast by tlve geogolist, Mr. Yancy. Tii!^
rise indicates that the sands below
are higher and the high places Is
where oil is likely to be found in i*ay-
ing quantities.
■ The officials have decided to place
another hundred shares of stock on
the market /to dare for leases. They
expect to renew the leases within the
newt few days.

ANGLO-SAXONS
WARNED PEACE
MUST BE HELD
ARTHUR HENDERSON SAYS
NATIONS AT TURNING
POINT OF HISTORIES.
BRIGHTON, England, Dec. 21.—A
statement that the United States and
Great Britain are at one cf the turn-
ing points in their histories formed
the keynote of a message broadcast
to America Sunday niglitt by Arthur
Henderson, British Foreign Secretary.
"We have to choose between peace
and war, between cooperation and con-
flict, between a developing and en-
nobling civilization and a collapse into
the barbarism of the past," he said.
"We have to make that choice now;
we can not evade it or postpone it.
"For unless we can build this struc-
ture of world peace upon a firm
foundation, unless we can do it now
before the memories of war have
faded, we may depend upon it that
sooner or later—and probably rather
sooner than later—a cataclysm will
ccme upon the world which will en-
gulf all that we oare about in west-
ern civilization.”
-$>■ ♦
No One Wants War.
Referring to “active but unreason-
ing fear" prevailing in some quar-
ters, Mr. Henderson continued:
"I would ask you boldly not to lis-
ten for a moment to those who speak
of war. I am absloutely convinced
there is no one who wants war, no one
who is plotting for war, not one who
does not realize that war would be
an unmitigated disaster to all con-
cerned.”
In reviewing steps made toward
peace during the last year, the For-
eign Secretary referred specifically to-
(the London naval conference.
"The three greatest naval powers
agreed to build no more capital
ships,” he said. “And, indeed, we
may hope as a result cf that agree-
ment that no monster vessels ever
shall be built again."

WARNING
Due to the flagrant abuse of the
privilege granted last Christmas and
the danger attendant there to the
safety cf the public, especially the
women and small children, compels
us to rigidly enforce the ordinance
against the sale mid use of fireworks.
If you will reoall what a nuisance it
was last Christmas and how danger-
out it was for -women or small chil-
dren to walk along the sidewalks and'
what a “mule" some big rough-necka
made cf themselves you will heartily
endorse this effort and give us your
cooperation.
The successful enforcement depends
largely upon your cooperation and it
is your duty to not only refrain from
violating the ordinance yourself but
to report other violations so that we
may gLve It our attention.
This notice should be sufficient and
those failing to heed it will be vigor-
ously prosecuted, therefore parents
should warn their children to not at-
tempt to violate this notice.
Let us have a safe and sane Christ-
mas by cooperating together to the
end that no injuries will be suffer-
ed b> anyone or any loss of property
by fire. Yours truly,
W. C. HAZLEWOOD, Mayor.
