DEVIEW NEWS
Mr. Pete McMurtry and a
lew’ others motored down to
Cotton Plant Sunday afternoon
carrying their picture boxes.
They report a lovely time.
Mr. Chester Wright, Ned
McMurtry and Oscar Chappell
will soon have their oil stock
ready for the market. They
are going to sell the first hun
dred shares for five cents per
share they they are going to
six cents, the extra cent will
apply on the dividends of the
first stock holders until they
strike oil.
Our gin is nearing comple
tion and we expect to all get
rich this fall and make a town
out of DeView, and by the
way, a distracted meeting be
gan here Wednesday night, so
you see we are laying up rich
es above as w'ell as below.
We are indeed glad to wel
come the Messrs. Curbo and
Jeary in our fair city Wednes
i day afternoon for the first time
in nearly a week.
We forgot to mention the
fact that Mr. Ned McMurtry
; arrived home last Friday from
Oklahoma Oil Fields where he
has been working. He says
the only thing he cleared was
the blisters on his hands and
that the revenue officers tried
to charge him war tax on even
them.
How is this for a fish story?
On last Wednesday several of
the citizens from around Beard
went down to Jack lake to fish
for a fish fry. While flounder
ing aound a log Lee Wright
was finned several times on
the arm. So all hands and the
cook snaked the log, which
proved to be hollow, from the
lake and took there from some
thing over a hundred pounds
of cat fish, besides several tur
tles and other water fowl. We
are going to borrow Mr. A. S.
Thompson’s boiler and see if
we can’t catch a whale or two.
THE MOULTING PERIOD
is very trying on your hens
and by nature this process is
very slow, usuallytaking from
two to three months. Hence
your hens will be “off duty
that long.” B. A. THOMAS’
POULTRY REMEDY hastens
the process, makes them hurry
back to work.

writes: “My experience with
B. A. THOMAS’ HOG POW
DER is, that it has given good
results, in helping hogs that
were sick and keeping thoose
well that were not sick. It
does all that you claim for it.
I would not had a sick hog if
I had used it sooner. We sell
it.
