Mr. W. W. Raney.
Editor Home News,
D Of the Woodruff' county men
wh0 made the supreme sacri
fice during the World War,
"he following are within my
knowledge:
Lee Caudle, Jesse Nbrman,
Verlin Prince, Will Anderson,
George Looney, Alpha Autry,
and Clarence Poe. ;
I believe that every goo^ cui
zen in Woodruff county would :
like to show evidence of his i
appreciation for the sacrifices;
made by these men. * # 1
I suggest that an appropn- :
ate way to evidence the appre- •
elation of Woodruff county’s i
dead heroes, is a Memorial,
erected at whatever place the
majority of the families of the
above soldiers wish it erected
and appropriately inscribed so
as to make everlasting the
memory of Woodruff county’s
men who gave everything.
The County Quorum Court
will, I am sure, be glad to
make an appropriation for this
purpose. Every citizen in the
county will be glad of an op
portunity to contribute some
thing, and I am sure all they
are waiting for is the oppor
tunity to show their apprecia
tion in some way for the sacri
fices of the men who did offer
their all and their all was tak
en. :
I don’t know whether or not i
I am the proper one to make i
this suggestion but someone *
has to take the iniative and T :
decided to suggest the matter
through the columns of your 1
paper and hold myself in read- 1
iness to contribute or go before i
the Quorum Court or assist in 1
any way that I was called up- *
on to in doing something that
would cause the above men to i
be glad could they see that ]
they were gratefully' reme*n- <
bered by the home people for <
whom they died. j

RECEIVE DIVIDENDS
ON OIL INVESTMENT
j Messrs J. H. Crossett and G.
G. McCrory and Mrs. Lou Mc
Fall received letters Thursday
irom the Liberty Sulphur and
Oil Co., enclosing check for
their dividends on oil stock
held in the above company of
which Mr. Crossett is presi
dent.
I The dividends paid at this
timp are the third quarterly
dividends paid this year with '
another to be paid in Septem
ber.
The company has two pro
ducing wells and the dividends
are being paid on the products
of thp first well. Two other
wells are under construction
and" stock in the above com
pany is selling above par.
We are glad to know that
some of our people are receiv
ing benefits from their oil in
vestments and hope others who
have purchased stock in other
companies will soon be receiv
ing their dividends.
j The above named citizens}
are some of our best business
people and the fact that the
company of which Mr. Crosset
is president is paying its stock
holders quarterly dividends is
both a compliment to himself
and to thosp who have invests
led so wisely with him.
Mr. E. W. Chaney, local
agent with the Arkan-Tex Oil
Co., who has sold sf)ock for
the T. & A., Pan Texas, and
Arkansas Bankers, states that
stock in all the above compa
nies is quoted at two for one
lor better. He also predicts
that as soon as Arkan-Tex is
sold out, it likewise will sell at
a premium. Don’t wait too
long as it is going fast and will
soon be gone. With 30 acres
in the Desdamona field, flow
ing wells all around, they are
sure of large productions and
jhanc|some dividends on their
investment. See his ad in this
paper.
