Optimism Seizes Oil Men As Many Wells Hit Shale
Reading a long drilling ledger, oil firms report wells advancing into shale and other operations across Waggoner and adjoining counties. Entries name Noble Oil and Development, Minnesota Southern Oil, Hiartold Texas Oil, Vernon and West Vernon, plus Taylor, Goss, and several Waggoner colony sites with depths from 150 to 3800 feet. The report notes shut downs, cleanouts, and tool recoveries as crews chase productive targets in old and new leases, with farms and ranches listed among drilling activity and equipment moves. The piece closes noting barber shop chatter, local delivery notes, and a theater owner heading to Wichita Falls for business.
Rejoices Daughter Can Resume Studies
A Vernon drug company advertises Maryy’s Wonder a simple remedy claimed to clear catarrhal mucus and inflammation in the digestive tract. It promises relief for stomach liver and intestinal ailments and refunds if not satisfied. The ad asserts a 12 year old girl’s health improvement and school return after taking the product.
