Great Fortunes Have Been Made In Oil. A SIOO.OO worth of stock bought one year ago of the Farmers Petroleum Co., of Hugible, Texas, sold recently for forty thousand Jcllars. Stock in the Thayer Oil & Gas Co. ran be bought this week, before the shooting of their first well at 25c per share.

Act quickly as the price is almost sure to go to par value within »a week or ten days. Come to Thayer and investigate for yourself. We can already show yoa gas in great volume —the finest ever discovered in America. We can convince the most skeptical that both gas and oil are here in great quantities. —Adv. we roamed in youthful bliss Among the scenes %o loved in childhood’s happy day, o#our Indiana home, time has pressed changing hand; Some are gone and many left are bowed and gray. But how oft in gilded churches* where •the pews are richly carved And burnished pipes pour forth rich melody; Our thoughts turn back to childhood, and a longing fills our hearts For that dear old country church of silver gray.
