OIL NEWS
Everybody Pleased
Everybody is pleased with the returning of Gus Furlow from
the Texas fields. Two strings of cable tools and two rotaries are
expected to arrive soon. The cable tools will be put to work in the
Garber field and the rotaries in the Tonkawa pool. His old drilling
crewe are coming with him and Chas. Colledge is the pusher. Most
of his crews are well remem bered in Garber.
On Searcy Farm
Furlow is digging a slush pond on the S. Searcy farm, reports
state, near the southeast corner, northeast 15-22-4 west, near where
the Algiers Oil company drilled and abandoned a 3,000-foot well.
This well is said to have passed up a flow of gas with 400 pound rock
pressure at 1190 feet and several good showings of oil. It is claimed
that the showing at around 1800 feet was good for a small producer.
On Allen
It is reported that Furlow will drill oi^e or two wells on the
Allen farm, southeast 16-22-3 west, where he and associates have
1500-foot production.
Three on Seaman Farms
Rumor is current to the effect that two wells are contracted for
on the J. W. Seamon farm, southwest 1-22-4 west, and one well on
the Laura Seamon farm, northeast 1-224 west. The companies were
not learned.
Stine Rig Up
The rig of the Preston-Oklahoma Oil company is up on the Stine
farm, northeast 12-224 west, and tools are being strung up.
Got a Nice Well
In the Barnes field Graham, Manahan et al, No. 1, the second
location from the southeast; corner, northeast 16-23-3 west, is a nice
little well with 30 feet of sand at the 2,000-foot horizon. When shot
and completed it may be as good as the Oil State No. 5, on the
Barnes farm, which is an offset, and which revived the drilling in
the field when it was deepened and shot. Watchers of the field are
anxious to see more wells drilled directly west of the last producer.
Boiled Mud
Comar Oil company and Garber & Failing No. 1 in 13-254w
thirteen miles north of Garber, on the government anticline, n^r
Salt Fork, had gasvnoufch tcf boil around 1800 feet ot mud. This
js the well drilling with the big diamond drill outfit.
A Big Play Here
The next few months will be as interesting as any in years in
watching the wildcats of this district. By spring, when the real
drilling campaign opens, this district is going to have a big play.
Obituary
Levi N. Keith was born November
4th, 1855, at Calimus, Clinton county,
Iowa; and passed away from this life at
his home near Garber, Oklahoma, Nov-
ember 9th, 1922, at the age of 67 years
and 5 days. In 1858 his parents moved
to Ohio and later to McLean county,111.'
where he grew to manhood. In 1880 he
moved to Taylor county, Iowa, with
his parents. On February 10th, 1881'
he was united in marriage to Miss Emma
Bishop. To this union were born four 1
children, one daughter, Beulah, having
proceeded him to the other world at the
age of three years. The surviving child-
ren are: Mrs. Cora Jewell, of Wauko- j
mis, Oklahoma; Floyd, of Long Beach,!
Cal.; and Mrs. Alta Nelson, Long Beach, j
California. Eight grand-children also j
survive him.
In 1900 he moved to Oklahoma with |
his family, where he resided until his j
death. His optomistic and cheerful j
spirit has won for him a host of friends |
and neighbors, and, in hie passing, the
community has lost a loyal and respect-
ed citizen and his family an affectionate
husband and a devoted father.
He leaves beside the immediate fami-
ly, lour brothers and one sister: W. C.
and i. H. of Bedford, Iowa; Charles of
DeMoines, Iowa; H. B. of Pheonix, Ari-
zonia; and Mrs. Maggie Day of Hart,
Michigan.
Relatives present from a distance to
the funeral are: Mrs. Ella Hensley,
neice; Mrs. Mabel Wolverton, neice;
L H. Keith, brother; W. C. Keith,
brother; and Glade Keith, nephew; all
of Bedford, Iowa.
The funeral was held Tuesday at 1:30
p. m. at the home four miles south and
one west of Garber. Rev. Murphy of
the Baptist church of Garber officiated.
The body was taken to Enid where it
was shipped to Bedford,Iowa, for burial-
The wife and daughter, Mrs. Jewel, ac-
companied the body to its last resting
place, in company with the brothers
who came from there. A large number
of neighbors and friends attended the
funeral.
He Likes The Farm
John Dively is out from Enid, today,
overseeing some repairs on the old home
on the farm. He expresses his desire to
move back to the farm, were it not that
the operation of the oil wells on the
farm destroyed the fences and made
farming impratical. His years of retire-
ment has never changed him from his
life-long habit of early rising and he was
out to Garber this moJning before most
people were up and about.
1,000 Miles to Vote
Claude Macy was in Enid Mor.day
morning enroute from Brownsville,
Texas, to his home in Billings.
Macy has made the thousand mile
trip home especially to cast his vote
for Judge Garber for Congress and
John Fields for governor. He ex-
pects to return to Brownsville after
the election, where he will spend .the
winter. Macy has never missed
casting his vote at election time and
years ago gained statewide fame by
making a relay horseback ride from
Halstead, Kansas, to his home near
Billings. He was forced to change
mounts at Wellington and Blackwell,
but arrived home in time to vote.
At that time Macy was shucking
corn in Kansas for a dollar a day.
Now he has large oil and agricul-
tural interests in northern Okla-
homa and spends his winters in the
south.
Claude arrived in Billings that
evening, and his greatest regret now
is the defeat of Fields. He will re-
main in this section until the last
of the week.—Billings News.

A Klan Visit
The Garber Ku Klux Klan, repre-
sented by six members in full re-
galia, robed and hooded, called, Fri-
day night, at Our Church in the oil
field five miles south of town, where
a revival meeting is being conducted,
and presented the evangelist with a
donation of fifty dollars.
A Fire Soon
The City Fire Chief is very likely
to haive a chance, at last, to use his
new chemical engine, now that cold
weather is setting in, for it would
be unnatural to expect everybody to
investigate carefully their gas con-
nections, and their chimneys. Who
will have the first fire of the
season? •
Finest in Grant Twp.
John Reiger,' Sr., has recently-
completed on the old home place
northeast of Garber, a farm resi-
dence that is called the finest in
Grant township. It is 30 by 40 feet
and contains seven rooms ant^ a bath.
The house is built on the site of the
old home and is occupied by his son-
in-law, Court Gerken and family.

Lutheran church, Saturday after-
noon at 2 o'clock, with August Pope

ber, mother of the bride, and a few
additional relatives as witnesses.
Mr. and Mrs. Pope will make their
home near Garber where the bride
has been a teacher in the schools.

Garber.*—Enid Events.
Why He Does
A merchant doesn't spend money
for advertising just to see his name
in print, says an exchange. He
doesn't advertise goods that he can-
not recommend, because he knows
that such an imposition upon the
public would put him out of a coun-
try town. It is reasonable to sup-
pose that when your local merchant
does go to the trouble and expense
of advertising an article that article
is worth having and the price is
within reason.
i Notice
Having taken charge of the Morgan
Laundry will continue the business at
the same place. Your business solicited.
All work called for and delivered.
—Glenn T. Morgan.
Missionary Society
The Foriegn Missionary Society met
with Mrs. S. Searcy, Monday night, for
their monthly meeting. Miss Mary
Overholt led the meeting with her good
and interesting lesson. Mrs.Ledger was
appointed as a delegate to attend the
F. M. convention at Enid, Tuesday and
Wednesday, of this week. The society
will give a pageant in the near future at
the church. Everyone interested in
missions watch for the date for it will
be good and interesting.
Ladies Guild
The Ladies Guild of the Christian
church met with Mrs. Anna Dobler last
Thursday and tied two comforts. A
large number of members were present.
She served nice refreshments of sand-
wiches and coffee. They adjourned to
meet with Mrs.Albert Gilpin, Thursday,
November 16th; and with Mrs. Homer
Cuthberson, Thursday afternoon, Nov-
ember 23. All members requested to
be present for work. Mrs. Cuthberson
lives at the east end of Ponca street.
Burried Today
Jim Soper, who died at a hospital at
Grandfield, Oklahoma, Tuesday, was
burried today, in the family lot in the
Garber cemetery. The funeral service,
was held in the Christian church, Rev.
Young of the Methodist church, officia-
ting. ,
He was about forty years old and was
taken sick while living alone on his farm
in Tillman county, with typhoid fever.
He drove a truck to town and was
taken care of by people occupying one
of his rental properties until he was con-
sidered past danger, but at this period
of his illness the house he was in burned
down. Hia brothers in Oklahoma City
were notified. He told them he did not
remember coming to town. They placed
him in a hospital. His relapse was caused
by the exposure.
Foot Ball
The Garber High school foot ball boys
tied Helena, Saturday, at Helena. The
score was 7 to 7.
Garber scored when Captain Hurst
intercepted a pass and got away for a
touch down. Helena scored a touch
down by a long end run.
From accounts of the game Garber
kept the ball on Helena territory and
repeatedly had it up against their line.
When the game was over the ball was
on the Helena eight yard line.
Perry plays the boys here Friday at
3 o'clock.
Moved Library
The City Library committee has mov-
ed the books and shelves into the front
or southeast room of the City Hall.
Efforts are being made to open the
library from 2 to 5 p. m. on Wednesdays
as well as Saturdays. Efforts are also
being made to furnish the room just
vacated for a reading and rest room. It
will be opened just as soon as funds are
available.
Sixty-Two Joined
The revival meetings in the oil field
came to a close Tuesday evening. The
rain hindered much of the time. Bro.
Clark presented the Gospel in such a
forceful manner that the people heard
it gladly.
Uptodate sixty two people have been
received in the church as a result of the
meetings. Others have said that they
will join soon. The Holy Spirit was
present in great power. At the closing
service, when more than forty came into
the church, fully as many more asked
for the prayers of the Christian people
that they might find Jesus.
A young people's society was organiz-
ed with sixty charter members. Prayer
meeting will be held each Wednesday
evening.
Bro. Clark begins a meeting in First
Methodist church in Shawnee on the
evening of the 16th.
A wonderful awakening has come to
the oil field, much of which is due to the
fine cooperation of Prof. Roberson who
is at the head of the Sinclair school.
C. A. Graham, director of music at
the Methodist church, led the choir.
Many of our people from the city at-
tended the meetings. For all of which
we bow in thankfulness to the dear
Lord to whom be all the glory.
V. W. Young, Pastor.
Community Christmas
N. R. Colby states that he will donate
a large Christmas tree, erected and
lighted, if the Garber school, or some
organization, will conduct the outdoor
services, which should be held on the
Saturday night before Christmas as
Christmas comes on Monday this year.
This can be made a beautiful affair with
four or five hundred children singing
corals and marching about the tree.
Surely the offer of Mr. Colby will be
accepted.
