EX-GOv. HOYT, of Wyoming, delivers
himself of a gorgeous description of the
resources of that Territory. He speaks
of a soda lake worth 100000, 100000,
equal to four times the entire wealth of
the great Republic; of an iron noun ain
containing 1,0o0,OOO,0OO tons of iron,
which at SIC per ton would be worth
$13, 3,000,00O,O0O, about one quarter of the
NATIONAL wealth. He also tells big
story of untold miles of petroleum fields,
each square mile containing 1,O0O,O 100000
barrels. That would mean. under the
entire surface of each square mile there
is subterranean lake of petroleum a
couple of hundred feet deep! Just hear
him:
''It is great compliment to the won>
derful extent and as yet almost unknown
wealth of our country, that so many
people will come out on a stormy night
to listen to lecture on one of its polit-
ical divisions which equals In area the
States of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania together. and is talf again
larger than all New England" said ex-
Governor John w. Hoyt, of Wyoming,
as he began lecture before the Geo.
graphical Society in Chickering Hall on
the resources and wonders ofskis adopted
Territory. His tales of natural wealth
and resources were more wonderful than
those of Aladdin and his lamp. "The
larger portion of the 100000 square miles
of territory of Wyoming" he continued,
'is perfect garden, supporting at pres
ent over 100000 head of cattle. In the
mountains are gold, silver, tin, and i'm
mense deposits of copper. There are
two iron mountains, the one red hema-
tite, and the other magnetic ore, the
smaller of which is 1000 feet high, and
contains l,300,000,000 tons of iron. I'm
mediately below this are immense fields
of Ignite, species of bituminous coal,
large enough to supply the world. There
are also large soda lakes, one of which
alone contains 4,O00,OOO0O0 tons of soda
which is worth $50 tor. Then, there
are untold miles of petroleum fields
which contain 1,OOO, ,OOO 900 barrels to the

The sale Of the Julien Gracev.


The impression prevails to some
extent that the sale OF the steamer
Julien Gracey to Capt Ryman o.
Nashville, will work against the inter
est OF GAINESVILLE along the river. We
are glad TO be able to say that this is a
mistake. The Messrs. Gracey were
careful to guard against this in max
ing the. sale and the arrangement is
such that GAINESVILLE is rather bene-
fitted than otherwise.
Capt. Ryman agrees to protect the
Graceys' contracts and to land all Of
his steamers alongside Of the wharf
boat. He authorizes Gracey & Bro,
to make rates out OF GAINESVILLE on all
classes of merchandise for river points
the same as those made by the Julien
Gracey. The GAINESVILLE market ON
lumber, tobacco and grain, is to be
fully protected. He will keep the Ju-
lien Gracey in the trade during the
low water and when the stage of the
river will permit, the Hillman will
take her place. The same rates will
prevail on all the Ryman boats which
Will be an advantage to the GAINESVILLE
market.
Messrs. Gracey & Bro, will be ena-
bled by this arrangement to give more
attention to their grain business and
will extend it further down the river.
They hope to make grain market of
GAINESVILLE, equal to any on the Wes-
tern rivers.

Obituary.

Mrs. Nancy Batson was born July 10th
1906, and departed this life September 3D.
1885, aged 70 years, month and % days.
Sister Batson professed religion and Joined
the old Baptist church, in which she lived a
consistent member for forty years. Two
years ago the writer went to see her, and
talked freely on the subject of church rela-
tions. She said that her church had gone
down /; L suggested that she join our church
the Methodist. She immediately consent
ed by saying, al have no objections; can
live as happily in the Methodist church as
in any other, SO put my name on the church
book" which did, and in this church. at
Mt Zion, she ended her christian pilgrim
age and went home to heaven. Sister Bat
son was woman of great energy. indusfri-
Gus to the last as long as she was able, she
was doing something, piecing quilts, max
ing linsey, jeans, ETC., as If she were just
starting out in life. So much for early hab-
its which will cling to us through life. She
was a faithful wife and an affectionate
mother. Like all good mothers, she was
ready to throw the veil of charity over the
foibies of the children and love them to the
end. She was good neighbor, ready TO ae-
commodate byfeeding the hungry, clothing
the naked, visiting the sick and sympathiz-
ing with the distressed.
May the precepts and precepts and exam
pies of the saInted mother live forever In
the memory of her children. and may they
emulate the noble virtues OF her christian
life and meet her In heaven.

THERE is considerable alarm about
diphtheria in GAINESVILLE and number
of people have carried their children
out of the city. The disease is by no
means epidemic but the type that pre-
occurred have nearly all been fatal.
From carefulinquiry among the physi-
clans and undertakes, we find that
there have not been more than dozen
genuine cases in Clar ksvilIe this season,
and there are only two or three here
at present. The fact that the disease
is here in such fatal form and the
uncertainty who will be its next VIC
tim, causes the alarm.
