What Are You Worth?

We mean in cash? Perhaps
you are in debt. If you live and
keep your health, you expect to
get out. If you die, or health
fails, then how about your family?
Do you know that you can make
your estate worth $4,000 more
than it is in few days? Yes; join
the Royal Arcanum. If you are
20 years of age S2.04 a month is
all you will have to pay; or if you
want only $1,000, then you pay
but 68 cents a month. If you are
older it will cost you a little more.
Good as the Bank of England.
Best business men in the United
States in it. Best business men
in Fulton county in it. Don't put
it off. Every day you wait adds
to the cost. Your health may
fail. Then you can't get in. Any
Royal Arcanum man can tell you
how to get in.

PattersOnS Run.

John S. Sipes, who is cutting
saw logs for Reeds saw mill or
.. M. Sipes' farm, met with al
accident on Tuesday, December
3lst. He was telling a tree, and
as it was falling, it struck him on

William Mellott and his lady
friend of Owl Greek attended the
Pleasant Ridge institute Decem-
ber 9th, and as they started for
home Mr.. Mellott discovered that
some malicious person or persons
had taken the nut off the spindle
which held the left hind wheel of
his buggy. We are glad to say
there was no one hurt. Perhaps
the party that took the nut thinks
there is no hereafter. Better be
careful.
On Friday night, December 27,
some person or persons let the
water out of the boiler of the new
engine owned by Reed and Son,
of Owl Creek, who are saving a
large tract of timber at present
for G. M. Sipes of Patterson s
Run. The next morning when
Mr.. G. Reed started the fire, he
discov ered that the water was
out of the boiler. We are glad to
say there was no damage done,
except the melting off of the wat
er plug of the boiler.
Three of our popular young
men. started last Tuesday for
Broad Top for employment; but,
for some reason, returned. We
do not know the reason unless it
was the attraction of their sweet
hearts.
Please allow me to correct a
mistake which appeared in the
Licking Creek notes of last week.
1t was Mr.. Foutz who gave some
nice music at the Pleasant Ridge
institute, and not Mr.. Frantz.
Rev. Daniel d. Lake, who has
been confined to his bed with
rheumatism, is not improving

people gathered at V. r.. Sipes
on New Years night, where they

A Victim OF the Bottle.

When a girl makes up her
mind to get married and starts
out cunning for a husband, she
will bring in her game every
time.
Thomas Morgan, a wealthy
lumber dealer of Wellsville, O.,
went to McKeesport, Pa, a few
days ago, and met Miss Clara
Plumb of that city for the first
time. Last Thursday they were
married and went back to his
Ohio home to reside.
Last May the McKeesport girl
wrote a note, placed it in a bottle
and threw it into the Ohio river.
She asked that the finder, if a
man looking for a wife, CORE
spond with her. Morgan began
a correspondence, and went on to
see the girl. Each was satisfied
with the other, and they were
married as before stated.
The bride, before leaving, told
her sister of her peculiar court
ship. She said she made up her
mind years ago that she would
not marry except in some roman
tic way. She is 33 years old and
her husband is past 40 years.

DR.. r. B. Campbell had very
unpleasant experience on Tues
day night while coming from
Woodvale mines to New Grenada.
Near the watering trough his
horse slipped on ice and went
over the bank of the road taking
with it the buggy, Doctor and all
down over rocks, trees, vines,
etc. Had it not been for a large
tree being in the way, which
caught the buggy the result
would have been no doubt loss of
life. The buggy stopped so sud
denly, as TO break the single-tree
and harness, thereby detaching
the horse The Doctor went on
when the buggy halted, he giving
some acrobatic performances,
first lighting on the horses neck,
and secondly, down the mountain
side. He managed to get back
into the road, bringing the horse
home. Outside of few bruises
on himself and horse, and few
parts of buggy wrecked, there
was no further damage. Next
morning it required three men
all they could do--to get the bug
gy back into the road. Surely, it
was a miraculous escape; and not
surprising that he DON'T seem
anxious to repeat the dose.
Mrs. Ellen McClain and daugh-
ter Jessie, moved into the Griss-
niger property in New Grenada
this week.

Jacob A. Hamill, one of the
County's most respected citizens,
passed away peacefully at his
home in Knobsville, January 8,
1902, at 6 O'Clock A. M. aged 6S
years, 5 months, and 3 days. The
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. d. w. Kelso, assisted
by Rev. John Pedden, on Sunday
morning Jan. 12, at 10 A. M.
Mr. Hamill had been a sufferer
from rheumatism during the past
four years, but at times he was
able to be about his business af
fairs; during the last year, he has
suffered severely, being in a man
ner helpless. Last April he had
a paralytic stroke, rendering
his left side entirely helpless,
from which he also suffered
greatly until he was relieved by
death. He bore all his affiiction
cheerfully and uncomplainingly,
and often said it was not he, but
Christ, who bore the Affections.
Mr.. Hamill was the oldest son
of the late Isaac Hamill, we'll
known and much respected resi-
dent of Knobsvllle, who died
April 81, 1879 at the age of ~
years.
The early part of Mr.. Hamill's
life was spent in this county with
his father; but after arriving at
the age of manhood, when the
West was presenting n duce.
ments for our energetic young
men to go thither, young Mr..
Hamill responded, and spent 10
years near Mount Vernon, Ohio,
with a Mr.. Drake. By thrift and
energy, of which he possessed
much, he accumulated the snug
sum of $4,000 He then returned
to the county of his nativity.
About the time of his return,
Mr.. Samuel Sunny was about
to sell his stock of merchandise
in Knobsville, and Mr.. Hamill
purcased it and went into the
mercantile business. This was
in January, 1870, and since that
time he has been constantly in
the mercantile business, and ac-
cumulated some of the wealth
which he sought for, besides
host of friends. BY his sterling
integrity and upright dealings,
lie won the confidence of all who
had occasion to come into busi-
ness relations with him.
Some seven months ago Mr..
Hamill sought for, and found
peace by accepting Christ, and
since that time has given evi-
dence and resignation that belong
only to those who have implicit
trust in their Savior.
He is survived by his wife and
four children-all at home, name.
ly, his wife, Marguerite G. Ham
i'll; his daughters Mary c., Car
rie E., and Virgie, and w. Pierce
Hamill; also, by brother, John
E. Hamill, of Knobsville, and two
sisters, Mrs. George w. Wagner,
and Mrs. Ellen Tebbutt, of Kan
sas City, Mo.-all of whom were
constantly at his bedside in his
last illness. A very able sermon
was delivered at the house from
ii Cor. 3:5, after which his re-
mains were followed by large
procession of sorrowing relatives
and friends to the Methodist
cemetery in Knobsville, where
they were laid to rest to await the
resurrection of the just.
Peace to his ashes.

Make a Strike

Mr.. w. A. Gray, of Portland, presi-
dent Of the California Home Mining
Co, of Oregon, in which DR.. Mark s.
Skff, T. w. Potter and A. s. Overman.
of this city, were large owners, took
the morning train for Bakersfield, Cal
ifornia, in response to an offer of 500, :
600 for single claim of it's property
of which has samples Mr.. Gray has
proceeded to the ground to make a
personal inspection of the property be-
fore accepting the offer.
The company paid $1,000 for this
claim about two months ago, and has
spent $1,000 in development work, and
were just ready to install a five-stamp
mill on the property. Should the
company decide to accept this offer
they will still have sixteen claims in
the same vicinity, which they consider
just as good as the one proposed to be
sold, and they will develop the re-
naming claims, and put up stamp
mills.
The sale of this claim will pay the
stockholders about a 60 per cent. divi-
dent on their Investment.
The claims still owned by the COM
pany are still worth mnay times the
value of the claim sold.

OREGON
NATIONAL
GUARD
To Assemble in a Brigade En-
campment

assembled at some centrally located
point in the Willamette valley In
brigade camp of instruction for a pc
riod of eight days, July 1924, inclu-
sive This announcement has been
made by Governor Geer, as comman-
der.in-chief of the state guard, and
Aadjutant General c. u. Gantenbein,
to whom the matter of arranging for
an encampment this year was left by
the state military board. The exact
point for holding the encampment has
not been determined yet, but will be
announced within 10 days, when the
orders are issued to the different COM
panles. This much Is certain; the en-,
campment will be held at some point
between Albany and Portland, the pur-
pose of selecting a central location for
the assembling of the guard being TO
keep the cost of transportation re-
duced as much as possible.
Salem should seek TO get the en-
campment. No point in the upper val
ley can offer the natural camping
grounds and first-class accommoda-
tions that exist in Salem. Some con.
certed action should be made TO have
Salem selected as the site for the en-
campment
The state guard consists OF rs COM
panies of infantry, one battery and one
troop of cavalry, numbering in all
about 1850 officers and men.
Upon the recommendation of the
military board, at special meeting
held in Portland on the 9th inst. the
Naval Battalion OF the o. n. c., con
sitsing OF headquarters and two di-
visions, or companies. located at Port
land was today ordered disbanded.
This action was also taken upon rec
ommendation OF the battalion com
mander, In view of the impOssibility
OF securing a training ship from the
government, and for the further rea-
son OF the failure OF passage OF the bin
introduced in Congress providing for
the placing OF the Naval Reserve un-
der the control of the United States.
