Pulled Gun By Barrel A sad shooting accident took place on Friday aftereoon in Ashfield, when Willie Carney, aged 17 years., and only son of Daniel Carney, lost his life. He was visiting his uncle, td, Sennett, about three miles from Kingsbridge, and went to get a shot gun to shoot some wild geese. While palling the gun out from its place by the barrel the gun, which was loaded, went off and the charge entered the young lad's right temple. Medical attendance was semi at hand but the young an died about an howi ' latex, No neneat is being held. W1NGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAR H 30th, 1922 • Subseriptious; $2,00 per yeur VISIT TEXAS OIL FIELDS Interesting Trip Made From Wing - ham In Seven Days. Leaving "Winghain on Saturday lhorning, March ifith, and returning one week later after visiting the, oil wells of Texas is the pleasant exper- ience of Reeve Tipling and others. . . A. party of rnen. were sent by the Erie investment Company to visit their oil wells- in Rockdale, Texas, that they anight get better acquainted with this great industry, Among those from these parts were F. J. Lewis of Turnberry, and Amos Tip - Inn of Wingham, Jas. • T. Webster' James Miller, Angus McKay and W. G. Andrews oft,Lucknow, These men are shareholders in the Erie Invest- ments and see a great future in oil production as an industry. From it highly speculative and in many cases spectacular, beginning the develop- ment of new oil fields has become a business employing the highest scien- tific skill. Every countryiin the civi- lized world demands oil n tremend- ously •increasing volume and the ac- quiring of lands that will assure a supply has become an important part Of public policy. Everyone knows what use the present generation makes of oil. Oil -burners are now the ac- cepted thing in steamers, in indus- trial Plants, in heating buildings, •in uses but little dreamed.of a few years ago. But the great consumer of oil, and the one that constantly threatens to exhaust the world's available sup- ply is the automobile -and its broth- ers, the tractor and the truck. On Saturday morning the party left for Toronto where they spent the afternoon and left for Chicago about 6. o'clock in the evening. Reeve Tip - ling tells us he shared a seat with Sir Adam Beck as far as London and he was greatly impressed with the mag- nitude of the man. His ambition for the development ofehydro against odds which under other circumstances he would not considerfightingis not for . . personal gain but for, the future of Ontario, so declare § IVIr. Tipling, and we believe that is the copiniOn of more than half of the people of .this prov- ince. Leaving Ontario through the Sarnia ' tunnet running -Under the St. Clair river and speedingon to .Chic- ago. Here they changed from the Michigaii• Central to Santa Fee rail- way and landed in Kansas city about it :o'clock on Sunday morning. They there boastled the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas railway and journeYed on south' to Rockdale, Texas, which they reached on Wednesday morning. Here they 'Were rnet by Col. Neahouse, a former poet:nester of Kitchener, Ont., and who for some time was a corn- me,rcialtraveller calling' at. Wingham. He is now interested ln the oil wells of the south and treated the Ontario men royally, 'While • travelling hi the Southern States trams stop at certain places for breakfast, dinner and supper. At these stops the eating houses are mostly. all owned by the one man Fred Har- vey and everythiog is served that one could think of or wish for. In Kan- sas the ground is very wet and flood- ed while in Oklahama they have not had moisture for weeks and every- thing is parched with the heat. n Texas it eves: go degrees of heat but roads (if such they inay be called) were all deep ruts, showing that they had heavy rains recently. Cattle look- ed to be very good in Kansas but in Oklahama and Texas they were very poor epecimens. Along the 'Missouri river and along the foothills to St. Louis the corn is standing in shocks and the peasants have commenced to shell it for seed. Along the Osier foot- hills the scenery is beautiful for miles you are travelling along the side of the river and under huge projecting rocks. This is in the vicinity of the old hoine of the at one time notorious Jesse James.- At the foot of huge rocks standing lOo feet or more in height, will be found nestled a cosy -farm home with very rich gumbo land. Me.Xia, Texas, a year ago was only a hamlet now with the oil boom itis a city of almost 40,000 investors, dark- ies, Mexicans and even Canadians. In most of the Southern towns there is to be found a floating population. Laboring people who live in wagons, drawn by donkies and horses go from town to town pulling cotton and do- ing other odd jobs. As many as ten of a family often know no other home than their wagon, .. Time and space will not permit us to give a more lengthy account of the trip to the Southern Oil Fields. Need- less to say there is a boom on there at present, similar itt many respects to the great Klondike gold boom several years ago. In conversatioit with the editor, Mr. Tipling said "It is impos- sible to convey either in words or in writieg, a true picture of the Mexia Oil Fields. It is a grand, glorious and inspiring sight, beyond the abil- ity of the pen to produce. .Each gush- er in itself makes one reflect deeply and wonder at the power and resources of Mother Earth. And when you see gusher after gusher dotting the land- ecapeit is almost impossible to believe your own eyes," Tremendous Advance In Tea Prices The Tea Market has advanced since last May fully rs or t6c a pound in LoridoP, Colombo ainl Calcutta, Ernest Sherwood Dead Mrs. Jas.

'We understand that Kincardine, Lucknow and Mild- may have booked this troupe and to them we would say they should have packed houses for the, show merits it. A street parade at 5..30 probably 'helped to change the ommon of any who were riot sure that they would go to the concert at night. Wingham, Citizens' Band provided music for the parade, while W. Freeman, grocer, as clown . with the assistance of a bear, George Ferguson, riding on a donkey provided the amusement for old and young kiddies. The curtain went up with the twenty- four coons arranged in two semi -circle rows singing "'Way Down South In Dixie" "Massa's In The Cold, Cold Ground" and "Old Folks At Home" were also sung by the en- tire company, as the opening numbers.

Rich - a ad s o n The end men had a variety of good jokes, and with the middleman kept things going all the time. The final chorue in every song was accompanied by the bones and tam- borines, also the orchestra. The personnel of the first half of the show was as follows; End men, right, Kitchen and Thompson; End rnen, left, Gallaher and Freeman; Middleman, Linklater; front row, left to right, H. McKenzie, W.

The second half of the programme opened with a cotton picking scene with the company in the wings, sing- ing "Carry Me Back To Old Vir- ginny." The other numbers in this part were step dancing by Ross, Me - Kinnon, and Steffler. A "Topical Lecture" by L. Thacker. A humor- ous playette, "Too Much Discipline", in which G. K.

John Galbraith Sella Business Mr. john Galbraith, who far the past thirty-four years has conducted a general store in Wingham, this week Sold out to Mr. F. W. Templin of London. Mr. Templin conducted a large departmental store at Kincar- dine a few years ago and has been re- siding in London for the past couple of years. The editor knows him to be a capable, honest and eeergetic busi- ness man and a -booster in every sense of the word, and assures the citizens of Wingham that Mr. and Mrs. Temp - lin and son, Mr. Hiles Templin, will make good citizens if they decide to locate here, and we trust they will. Mr. Galbraith retires from the iner-F cantile business with the unique re- cord of having occupied the one build- ing for upwards of thirty-four years. He has no enemies, but on every hand he is kindly meetioned for his honest dealings during all these years.

He had just returned from a four months' visit with his daughter at NeWinerket. Mr. Code with his father, the late George Code, and his brother, Richard, came from near Al- monte in Lanark County, to the Queen's bush, itt1848, and were the ,first settlers in Eine). township. They got their Mail from. Stratford, 40 miles away, once e month.

The annual meeting of the North Huron Telephone Company was held itt Wingham on Friday. The treasur- er's statement was read showing a fairly successful year. The election of directors resulted in re -appointing of last year's; viz. W. J. Greer H. T. Thompson; john 'Webster, William Maxwell and George Thompson. The directors then appointed as their offic- ers: President -W. J. Greer; 'Vice President -H. T. Thompson; Secre- tary -Treasurer -7H. B. Elliott and A. H ..Musgrove as auditor. The meeting was unanimous in aP- proving of tne transferring of the system to the Bell Telephone Com- pany and we believe the latter Com- pany will take over the North Huron system in the near future. Of course the necessary routine will have to be gone through and the Railway Board will likely meet in Wingham to ,com- plete the transfer after having adver- tised the purposed sale the number of times required by law. The subscribers of the North Huron have been receiving a good telephone service at the comparatively low rate of $14.00, and buy their own batteries, while they will with the Bell system have to pay a little over $18.0o and will be supplied with batteries. That the North Huron system is in fairly good condition may he surmised by the fact that during the recent very heavy sleet and wind they had only three poles broken, and the North Huron was the first rural company in Western Ontario to have their service in running order after the storm. If enough subscribers wish to com- plain to the Railway Board that they wish to continue a rural service they will be permitted to organize and con- tinue, but this is not likely to happen after the decision of the directors and shareholders on Friday'. Mr. Elliott was in conference with a few of the heads of the Bell' Telephone system in Toronto on Monday with regard to the deal.
