Through q desire to increase the vol
ume Of business now being handled by
the plant the officers of the Oakes Mill
Company have decided to increase the
capital stock of the corporation in the
amount of $50, 900, making the total paid
in capital of the company $4,000. OF
this additional stock issue the present
stockholders will take about $40, 600 and
the balance of the issue, or about
$40, 900 Of the stock, will be offered
for public subscription to the business
men of Oakes and the farmers of this
vicinity.
It is desired by the officers of the
company to have interested in the bust
ness few Of the leading farmers of
this section as the industry is one which
is of particular value to the farmers
and, as it has been their united support
of the business in the past on which
has been based the excellent success Of
the company the officers feel that the
farmers are the ones who should partic-
ipate the most heavily in the future
profits of the business.
Since the plant of the Cakes Mill
Company has been operated under the
present management the steady in
crease in volume Of business transacted
annually has necessitated several addi-
tions in machinery and equipment in
order to enable the plant to keep pace
with the increasing demand for it's out
put and the business has grown from
9 daily capacity of Is barrels Of flour to
daily capacity of 45O barrels and the
Oakes flour mills rank among the lead
ing industries in the state.

entire community.

The art exhibit held in the city hall
four days Of last week was success
educationally, and great many people
took advantage Of the opportunity to
learn more of our great masters and
their masterpieces. There were two
hundred pictures shown and those who
made study Of them derived great
deal Of pleasure and benefit from the
exhibit. The children, especially the
younger children, were very enthu-
siastic and it was a revelation to hear
them recite stories of the pictures and
relate incidents concerning the artists.
Copies of pictures by Michael Angelo,
Raphael, Millet, Andrea Del sarto,
Murillo, Rosa Bonheur, and many other
well known and famous artists made up
the collection. Despite the inclemency
Of the weather great many turned
out. The management cleared ex-
penses and also placed a neat sum in
the bank which will go to the school
for the purpose Of purchasing pictures
suitable to the work of the different
nrrodoo.

death of Mrs. Geo. M. Gambler at her
home southeast of Fullerton, on Thurs
day, April %. 1908, cast a gloom over
the entire community. She had been
in town on both Monday and Tuesday
evenings previous and it was hard to
believe that she with whom they had
conversed at that time should be taken
in so short a time.
On returning home Tuesday evening
she complained of not feeling well but
her condition was not thought serious
as she was about on Wednesday.
Thursday morning she remained in bed
and about noon, without warning, she
passed suddenly away, which was a
shock to her family and her friends as
well.
Ella Augusta Eldridge was born at
Port Byron, Cayuga Co., N. Y, Nov.
18, 1851. She was united in marriage
Nov. 2, 1872 to George Monroe Gambler.
To this union were born six children
four of whom are living: Mrs. Nellie
I. Curtis, ]. Franklin, Jessie B. and
Charlotte L., all Of this place. Deceased
was confirmed in the Episcopal church
at Auburn, N. Y, on April 10, 1886.
The family moved from Auburn, N. Y,
to this place on March 80, 1892, and
Mr.. Gambler purchased the farm where
the family still resides. Mrs. Gambler
did not spend her time longing for the
''flesh pots" of her eastern home, but
at once took up true western spirit,
and tried to make life pleasant for
those around her. She was a good
neighbor, kind and generous and always
ready to lend helping hand to those
in trouble. In church work she always
did her share. She knew no such
word as shirk. The Guild of which she
was vice president, has, by her death.
lost one of its best members and she
will be sadly missed. It is a strange
coincidence that on Easter, April 18th,
she took her last communion, just
twenty-five years from the date Of her
confirmation. AS was said by her
pastor ''It was fitting preparation fol
/ her great change"
The funeral was held Son Saturday
afternoon at three o'clock at the church
. for which she had been working 60
faithfully. The Royal Neighbors of
! which deceased was a member attended
in body. The church was filled to
the doors. Service was conducted by
her pastor, Rev., ID. F.. Thompson.
Music was furnished by a quartette-
Mrs. B. S. Kingsley, Mrs. X. S. Jen-
sen, E. S. Thomas and James Jensen.
The floral offerings were beautiful,
among which was a large cross of white
carnations from Royal Neighbors, q
beautiful wreath of roses from the
Woodmen and a piece of Easter lilies
from the Guild. Carried by those who
had been her neighbors for sixteen

FORT DEPOSIT NEWS LITTLE CITY HAS RECOvERElS
 FROM CYCLONE. One Citizen Shipping Queen Bees All Over the COuntry-MF. Searcy
 and Mrs. S0vVelI Im-
 proving.

Fort Deposit, Nov. 25.-(SpeciaL)- This little city is complaining of dull business, but since the remarkable i'm provement from the terrible cyclone of a few months ago. this does not damp en the spirits of the people.
 All the havoc created by the storm has been replaced in most instances by better structures. This lull is only temporary. and erelong renewed ener- BY will be felt in every phase of life. King Cotton Is present in all his glory. The warehouses are full of the heecy staple. The fact that cotton can be held in the hope of better prices Is an evidence of solidtty.
 A thing which speaks well for the future has been going on in this com hnunity for a number of years. Many of the people have planted a large number of pecan trees, and some of them are beginning to bear. Later on, and only a few years In the future, the amount of money brought into this community will be considerable from this source alone.
 Another enterprise which will be re- garded as remarkable in the outside world has been thriving for a number of years here. One of the public-spir- ited citizens is engaged in raising queen bees which he has shipped in Uncle Sam's mail pouches to Mexico on the west and as far to the north as Canada. A thousand or more of these useful insects, the source of one of the greatest dainties, are distributed all over this country. They are sold for from $3.50 to s5 each.
 The report in The Advertiser of a few days ago. showing that more than 5000 900 bales of cotton had been ginned up to the 14th of this month, which is more than 100000 bales in excess of the corresponding period for last year, has created considerable com ment here. If the ratio of increase Is kept up to the end of the cotton year, 1t would give the greatest crop in his tory or more than 15.000,000 bales.
 The far-seeing and experienced farmers say there will be a consider able falling off from now to the end of the cotton year. They confidently

assert that the crop of the present year will be less than 1t was last, and the idea finds general 1odgment in their minds that prices ought to run higher in the near future.
 It is source of very great pleasure and satisfaction to the people of this pretty little town that two of the most estimable citizens here have recently begun a safe convalescence from a protracted and serious illness. Mrs. Sewell. who has been a great sufferer for many weeks, is better, and her friends who miss her presence from the busy scene ofNlife. say that she will soon be able to be herself again.
 F. M. Searcy, than whom no citi- zen is better or more affectionateiy known in this community, has been so seriously i'll as to make life hang in the balance for days Is capable of leaving his bed of suffering.
 This will be especially gratifying in- telliEence to the old Confederates, of whom he was gallant and faithful ex- ponent in the dark and bloody days.
 He says he never knew before how much he loved the good women of the U. D. c. whose kind mlnistrations have been so tender and thoughtful Among their delicate attentions have been that they have kept his home bountifully supplied with flowers.
