Olivia Rodman Myers.

Beloved daughter of William Rodman
and Lucy Warren Myers, at Washington,
N. c., on the morning of Thursday, the
goth day of June, 1901, aged twenty four
years.
To those whose privilege it was to know
the beautiful character of olivia Myers,
and therefore to love her, the realization
that she has fallen into that dreamless
sleep that shall know no waking here,
comes with an awful shock that time
alone can temper.
All of her life was spent among us; all
the pure influences of her sweet, strong
Christian character were shed upon us ::
and through the mist of tears, we strive
to realize that what to us is a grievous
loss, to her is eternal joy and peace
which passeth understanding.
Possessing, as she did, intellectually
and strength of character to a remarka-
Bile degree; traits which command ad-
mira ton and respect; SO interviewer were
they with those graces which win affec-
ton, a gentleness and charm of manner,
unselfishness and thoughtfulness of

dividuality that can make such deep i'm

In the social life OF our town and
State, where her sweet womanliness.
rare tact and brilliant vivacity made her
an universal favorite; in the noble work
for the survivors of the Lost Cause, as a
Daughter Of the Confederacy, where her
answering loyalty, her untiring zeal and
excellent judgment rendered her pres
ence essential; in St. Peters Parish,
where her devout life and character shed
ever a pure and holy influence in her
home, where she was best known and
most Appreciated; aye, in every walk of
life in our community she will be missed
Just in the happiest, sunniest hour of
all the voyage, when every day was rich
with joy: while she was yet in love with
life; before sorrow and care had been
permitted to come near and touch her, o.
the burdens of life to bear too heavily
upon her, she reached her journeys end,

Oil and Gas Well.

Two years ago the Wicklife Canning Company

that business. In June, 1900, little more than a
year ago, the Company, needing water, dug an old
fashioned square we'll few feet to the north and
just in the OF the plant At the depth of thirty
feet an unpleasant odor Of gas was noticed issuing
from the WELL and upon digging five feet deeper,
water was struck so strongly impregnated with oil,
naptha and gasoline that the we'll was covered up
with boards and abandoned as unfit for use.
One day, some time after the closing of the we'll
Neal B. Loveace of Martin, Tenn, Jas. Owen of
Bardwell, KY, and Mr. Grinstead of Cairo all trav-

without anything very unpleasant striking their
olfactories, and, joke little dreaming OF danger
Mr.. Smith lighted match and threw it into the well,
there was flash, and flames burst from the well as
from volcano, severely burning Lovelace and Grin
stead-the latter so seriously that his injuries kept
him in the hospital at Cairo some five six weeks,
and at first it feared that he would lose his eye

THE RAILROAD PROJECT.

Fulton seems to have lost some
OF her enthusiasm over the Upton
vile railroad project. In the
Leader few days ago the editor
IN a manner protests against the
lack OF enthusiasm among the bust
ness men there. 1t is probable
that Maj. Harris is himself a little
hasty in his plans. If we are in
formed correctly, he came to Union
City without any definite or tangi.
BILE evidence of a proposition, and
asked some of the business men
how much stock they were willing
to take. He was asked to show a
draft of bis plan of survey and
route and the amount of capital
stock to be subscribed and his
credentials as a representative of
the company to whom q charter
was made. We also understand
that there are several prominent
men here who are willing to sub
scribe to the capital stock of
standard gauge railroad, running
from Union City to Tiptonville, in
amounts ranging from $500 to
81, 900 and over, and are anxious
to enter into the organization of
company for that purpose.
If Maj. Harris will give us a
chance, show map and plan of oper
alton, amount Of stock to be sub
sribed, etc. meet the citizens and
submit a feasible proposition, we
are sure they will be glad to take
a very substantial interest In such
an enterprise. 1t is very likely
that these are reasons why the citi-
zens of Fulton are slow to become
interested.
