Two small alligators in the park pool are attracting much attention. They have an interesting history. One was brought from Florida by Mr. G. C. King. It escaped and was found by a small boy in a branch near his residence some time later. The other 'gator was found last week in a mud hole in a small stream near town by young Hampton Bradley. It has been a mooted question among many as to where this 'gator came from Mrs. Dick Morgan, of Laurel, Md., I (nee Miss Myrtle Tate) arrived re- THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1926 cently to spend the summer with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McDaniel. Misses Olema Flack, Ada Bridges, and Mattie Hyder, are attending summer school at Asheville Normal. Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

RENEWED INTEREST IN OIL DEPOSITS The recent tragic death of Mr. John Campbell, who died in a well near Bostic, has occasioned much talk as to the real cause of the mis fortune. It was thought at first, and some are still of the opinion, that dynamite which was placed in the well and which did not explode, poisoned the water by forming car bon dioxide gas which overcame Mr. Campbell when he went down into the well 24 hours later. It is believ ed, however, by a number of older Rutherford county residents who have previously analyzed gas forma tions and probable oil deposits in the Chimney Rock region, that a natural gaseous formation charac teristic of lands possessing native oil deposits was struck in the well of Mr. Frank Beatty where Mr. Camp bell's life was stifled out. This occurrence, tragic though it be, has renewed a general discus sion in this section along the line of oil deposits, a question which has been almost dormant for quite some time, but which, because of this phenomenal occurrence, may oc casion more thorough investigation. DIED SUDDENLY Montaville Dimsdale, aged 55, for many years a resident of the Cane Creek section, died suddenly at his home recently. He had been haul ings logs in the Lake Lure section. He is survived by his wife and sev eral children. BUILDING ACTIVITIES LIVELY AT ELLENBORO Ellenboro, our hustling- little neighboring city, which is only a few minutes' drive from Forest City, since the completion of the paved highway, has been showing a most commendable growth. One of the new enterprises is the Coffield Feed Co., which is being opened by Mr. R. P. Coffield, form erly of Apex, Wake county. They will handle a large line of feed, grain, flour, farm seeds, etc. One warehouse near the Seaboard depot, is being used, while a new building 20x40 feet will be rushed to com pletion to take care of their large stocks. Mr. R. P. Coffield is the fath er of Mr. 0. R. Coffield, clever and accommodating Seaboard agent at Ellenboro. He just recently complet ed a handsome new residence near the Seaboard depot. Mr. M. Z. Wright has added ex tensive improvements to his home here by adding an extra story, build ing a new brick porch and other im provements. This home is on the highway, near the Baptist church. The handsome new brick bungalow of Mrs. C. H. Blanton, near here on Highway No. 20, is nearing comple tion. The house contains eight rooms and will have all modern im provements, including a water sys tem It is reported that The Courier's good friend, Mr. W. A. Harrill, is not only doing a lively business at his stand here, but is also meeting with most gratifying success at his branch store at Chimney Rock. He is a hustler and his friends are only numbered by the extent of his ac quaintance. Mr. O. R. Coffield, member of the school board, predicts a great future for the Ellenboro high school, and looks forward confidently to the next term as being the best in the his tory of the school. A. S. Harrill and Son, the Bank, the National Highway Garage, Mc- Kinney's and in fact, every business house in town reports a lively bus iness_ Some effects of the drought are being felt, it is true, but the en tire populace are optimistic.

THE SMALL TOWN GAL A sweetheart in the city may be powerful nice to know, but love ain't very lastin' when you've got too fur to go. It's right to figger distance when a feller needs a pal—and, the nearest, dearest is—the small town gal! You'll mebe find her clerkin' where the bargains wait for all—or it may be she's the "central," where she plugs the hurry call; we some times find her shoppin' after spare ribs or percale—but she's allers doin' somethin' is the small town gal! I don't know how to say it, but the way she bobs her hair would gather in fust money at a Clinton county fair. She might be Esmeralda— Mary Jane or even Sal—l don't keer what you call her—she's the small town gal!— Excelsior Springs, Mo., Standard. ASTOR HUNT, FORMERLY OF BOILING SPRINGS,, DIES Astor Hunt, age about 29 years, died a t Oteen government hospital at Asheville, Saturday, June 5, and was buried at Boiling Springs, the following Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, funeral services being con ducted by Rev.
