Brownwood Oil Strike and Local Happenings Highlight 1918 note
Brownwood reportedly finds quality lubrication oil at 150 feet and plans more wells. Carlton townspeople push for a new college and a $13 000 bond vote passes 83 to 25. The Texas Legislature enacted odd laws and Gov Campbell appoints officers for a Battle Ground purchase. Comanche reports include school re elections, graduates, post office change, and local civic news.
