OBITUARY..
MINER HORATIO JONES.

= MlNEt IOhallO JONEos =
Died Dec. 9, 1901, Miner Horatio Jones, aged
"a years.
fn the death of Miner Jones OF Shoreham,
the home has lost one Of the most endeared
of hush ands and fathers, and the community
one of the most worthy and upright OF citi.
zens. He was OF that genial way and kind
ness that made him beloved by all classes.
The large attendance at his funeral from his
own town, and friends from Orwell, Whiting,
Bridport Ticonderoga and Rutland. attested
the esteem in which he was held. Instructive
and fitting words we're spoken by the pastor,
Rey. Mr.. Carlson, assisted by the former pas.
tor. Rev. w. n. Bacon. Comforting senti.
ments and music were rendered by the Con.
gregational choir of ShOreham.
While we recalled the youth and young
manhood of our friend, whom we knew so
many years. as worthy of mention, as belong.
ing on the side which the principles of the
gospel make, we found /; hard to say "fare
we'll" But while we babe good bye to that
genial countenance, as one in quiet sleep, we
hope to meet him in that land of no parting
no tears and nothing to make a tear. So may
II be with all his dear home, who have our
deepest Christian sympathy in the loss of one
so beloved and who left them so suddenly
that 1t grieved and surprised them and u all
But his memory Is precious to recall like a
bright star peering amid earth's dark clouds
"God viii never leave thee;
All thy wants He knows,
Feels the pains that grieve thee,
Sees thy cares and woes.
"All thy grief and sadness
In this world below
Balance not the gadness
Thou In heaven shalt know"

Crude Petroleum.

From crude petroleum are made kero-
sene, gasoline, naphtha, paraffin and
vaseline. A still heavier oil, left as a
residue, is used for axle grease, and the
carbon is turned into sticks for electric
lights. The sulphuric acid which is
used for purifying the products Of Pc
troleum is recovered and turned into
fertilizer for farms where there Is too
much phosphate rock, which is thus
dissolved.

Painting of Buildings.

The painting of buildings when
necessary should be done with the idea
Of harmony of the entire street, not in
such a manner as to call immediate
attention to itself. Terra Gotta and
tile faced buildings should not be
painted, but washed.

Do You Want a Position

The U. s. Civil Service Commission
will hold examinations at several
places in each state during March and
April, to secure young men and women
for the government service. $3.50 per-
sons secured positions last year through
these examinations. Probably 10000
appointments will be made this year.
All appointments are for life and for
most positions only common school
education is required. Salaries at ap-
pointment vary from $500 to 1,200 q
year with liberal promotions afterward.
Politics is not considered. This af-
fords good opportunity for people be-
tween 18 and 45 years of age. Those
desiring places of this kind can get
full information about them, free, by
writing to the Columbian Correspond
ence College, Washington, D. c., and
asking for its Civil Service catalogue,
number three.

AN OIL WELL
To Be Drilled on the Renk=
ert Farm
Near the City of BeIlefontaine.

Subscriptions of SO and upward, are
being taken to drill an oil well on the
farm of Mr.. Renkert, formerly the
John Palmer farm on the head waters
of Possum Run, mile and hall
northeast of our city.
The partial failure of the wells near
Zanesfield have discouraged some, but
it should not be forgotten that some
fields that showed nothing but dry
wells, in the Lima and other fields for
years, are now showing good produc-
ing wells.
1t is also true. that some times good
producing wells are found after several
dry holes have been bored.
Mr.. John Kerr, of Lima, who is re-
liable authority, says that well that
that will produce six barrels a day,
would make the ten dollar shares that
are being sold for the Renkert well,
worth 500 each. If producing well
of small capacity is struck, 1t will be
good thing.
ssNothing risked, nothing won," Is
especially true of all efforts to develop
an oil field.
1t is worth while to make the at
tempt, for with all the dry holes that
have been bored in our county, We have
secured one well that is worth untold
money to Bellefontaine in its water
supply.
