The farmers who had te replant their corn i on account of cutworms, will in all probabil- ! ity get a good crop.

After all our effort to keep still and not ' I bubl>ie over with expectancy of a new oil field i in this neighborhood, the Hollingsworth well I came in a gasser. They had it capped and ; • sent an expert here to plug it and draw the I ; pipe, thereby adding more cost. Parties of- | > frred to buy the well for the gas. but they j I would not sell. When they drew the pipe and | we had seen the oil on it, on the rope and on j j the rig. we iiegan to figure that 330 feet of pip* 1 i i in a hole 1130 feel deep, would leave about HOO ' feet of fluid in order to mark the oil on the rope. Rumor says that White soid out to the j parties who drilled the well, and that they will put down another well in the near future. This makes us believe that there is some scheme in it. either to bulldoze the farmers or the new company. We are satisfied beyond a doubt that there is oil in the well, and not un1 til other wells are drilled will we acknowledge that we are mistaken. J. T.
