Mes,rs Cannon, Milligan and the
other gentlemen who have been en-
gagged in prospecting for gas in Gar.
nett have concluded to put down
the next well at Westphalia, having
received from citizens of that town
substan,ia' encouragement in the
undertaking. They may or may
not put down another well in the
vicinity OF Garrett. Whether they
do so will depend upon certain con-
ditions so they say. AS soon as it
was thought that trey might strike
something at Garnet they were un
able, SD they tell us to secure leases
on anything like reasonable terms
Naturally they felt discouraged.
They hardly felt like spending their
money and having other parties
reap the benefit. Il is largely he.

propose to 90 where more liberal

Died

Jessie May Ecord, little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Ecord, was born
April ~, 1896, died, March 4, 1903;
aged six years, ten months and twenty
days.
Our little Jessie has gone to be with
Jesus, Her place in the home is vacant
and hearts are nearly breaking with
sorrow. She was sick only lew days
and bore all her suffering patiently.
Jessie was a bright, sweet -dispositioned
little one, who won every heart, and
her death cast shadow over the whole
community. She will be missed every
where, but more especially in the school
and home. We will see the sweet smil
ing face no more on earth. We know
she is with Jesus, and hope to Join her
with the angels around the throne.
Sad, indeed, it seems to us, but
Death is abroad in the land
And at an hour we think not
A dear one may be snatched from our
hand.
So, on the morn of March 4, 1908,
In this land of the brave and free,
Dear little jessie, stamped with truth
and love,
Was borne from earth to her home above
Sad it seems to every one,
For her enemies we know are none;
But Jesus wanted her in His angel band,
So he called her home from this earthly
land.
In school, she was dear, obedient child,
Her disposition being so gentle and mild
That her teacher thought her shining
light.
For in her studies she was exceedingly
bright
Now our darling Jessie from us is taken
Toaland where she llnever be forsaken.
To land where size enjoys peaceful rest
With the angels, and be forever blest.

and teacher, Lucy B. PRICE
