Deep in the rural heart of Coffeeville, Mississippi, a bitter showdown is brewing. The Tuleco Oil Co. has been drilling an oil well for months, but the company’s tight-lipped secrecy has left locals seething. Hon. W.C. Bryant, a stalwart advocate for the community, had secured a contract with the oil company to bring a test well to Coffeeville. However, the Tuleco Oil Co. has been dragging its feet, moving at a glacial pace that has left even the most patient of residents fuming.
