when it was learned that Mrs.
Mary Wilcox, nee Miss Mary
Clark, had died very suddenly at
their home in the east part of
town that evening following the
birth of a young son, severe
hemorrhage causing death in a
\ery short while. The babe,
named Francis by the mother, is
reported to be getting along
nicely.
Mrs. Wilcox was a right young
woman and it was certainly a
severe shock to her young bus-
bind to give her up so suddenly
and too, at a time that a mo b
er’s love and tender care was so
badly needed.
The remains were, laid to rest
out at the Pink cemetery, just
over the line in Washita County,
east of Carter. A large crowd
of relatives and friend) were
present to pay their last re-
spects to the life of the adored
young women whose life was
plucked away right in the bloom
of youth.
The business houses of Carter
all closed their doors during the
funeral hour.
Mr. Clark, father of Mrs. Wil-
cox, and a sister. Mrs. Erma
Lawson, came in from Duncan a3
soon as they could get here,a» riv-

turn immediately to Duncan but

DRILLING NOW
IN SECTION 4'
Ray B. Stephens, drilling con-
tractor for the Turman Oil Com-
pany well in section 4-8-22, has
spudded in and is now going
right on down just like they
mean business. They are now
drilling night and day and are
making good progress. The peo-
ple here have unlimited confidence
in this test as they feel that it
will go right through and prove
just what is underneath. Others
as well show their confidence in
this test as is proven by the fol-
lowing taken from the Sayre
Headlight.
Looks Good To Carter Folks
The Ross well, in 4-8-22, two
miles southwest of Carter was
spudded in yesterday afteraoon.
This test will be watched care-
fully. as it will indicate whether
the structure crosses the river
southeast of this city, as is
claimed by most geologists.

Storm and Rain
This part of the country has
certainly had its share of rain
and storms during the last few
days. The biggest rain of the
year fell here Sunday night and
which was accompanied by quite
a lot on hail, but not enough to
do very serious injury to the
growing crops.
Then on Tuesday afternoon
another hat d washing rain came
up from the northwest, accom-
panied by a high wind which did
considerable damage to build-
ings. The rent house on the A.
0. Cain place was blown to
piece. The occupanis of the
house had taken refuge in a
storm cellar so escaped injury.
Pinkney Denton and wife were
living in the house and had their
household effects damaged and
scatteied .
The residence occupied b y
Browney Drennon on the L. F
McCubbin place was damaged,
as was also Mr. McCubbin’s barn
and other buildings.
The barn of Russ Woods was
blown down, and Dr. Adam s
barn here in town is minus its
roof. Several trees were up-
rooted here in town and some of
the smaller out buildings tumb-
led around. The cloud looked
very threatening before its ar-
rival and consequently almost
