OBITUARY. -ss,ge

Death again has visited our COM
muuity and taken from the family
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank W. Wilson
their dear little girl Jessie. She
was taken i'll last Feb. and in April
she became blind, never regaining
sight, and after suffering, which
she bore with remarkable patience,
died July %, at the age Of 10 years
4 months and 20 days, and was
laid to rest in the cemetery at
Wixon.
Mother. do not grieve for Jessie,
Though you see her here no more
Death TO her was but blessing,
Bearing her 10 heavens shore.
Life TO her was hard and dreary
Could not see the rays OF light,
She has gone where all is CHEEKY,
Christ Is there, there Is no night.
In that land there Is no crying,
God shall wipe all tears away,
No more sorrow, pain or dying,
Jesus makes eternal day.

The superintendent of the Stone
farm, in Washington county, in
making report of the flood, said
his farm was protected with a
levee, all but small portion and
was saved from any damage what
ever. That sounds mighty good,
and its only a question OF time
until all the fine farms on the
Brazos will have the same pro-
lection. 1t is now an imperative
necessity, and must be done.
Levees for the Brazos river should
be the slogan OF all the planters and
the business interests connected
Herewith. United States aid
should be procured by our Con-
gressmen. Our legislator should
use their best efforts to have Con-
gress memoriulized on the subject
by the next Legislature.

Indians we're always at their very

that he was in country where he was
likely to find the wealth for which he
was looking. persisted in his prospect

in constant danger Of losing his
scalp.
His persistence was rewarded far be
yond his expectations. for on the slope
OF the Mule mountains. about half way
between the summit and the bed Of
Walnut gulch, he discovered the out
cropping OF what proved in time to be
a great bed of ore. which gave Tomb
stone its worldwide reputation. He
staked his claim and christened the
camp. Why he chose the name OF
Tombstone" no man seems to know.
1t was probably but a freak idea in
duced by the fearsome surroundings
and the fact that the entire country is
covered with enormous boulders which
might well mark the graves Of the dead
of a mighty city.

Much attention has been attracted
in England and some apprehension
aroused by the discovery Of cracks in
the walls Of st. Pauls Cathedral. Ex-
perts think that the opening Of un-
derground railways and sewers in the
neighborhood of the great structure is
responsible for the damage. One OF
the suggested methods to secure the
safety OF the cathedral. at a cost OF
about $1,000, 900. is to underpin its
foundations by carrying them down
about 80 feet to the solid blue clay
which underlies London.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES


U. s. Consul Hughes at Coburg re-
ports that the German navy and some
manufacturers are using a new fuel
called ''nasut,' an oily product from
German brown coal. The coast de-
fense vessels are fitted for the use Of
this oil, and some battleships and
cruisers are arranged so that they can
use both coal asd masut. Masut Is
said to Lave one-fourth greater heat
producing power than coal, and Is
easier to handle. as it is necessary
only to open a valve in order TO nll a
furnace.
