Be at the Methodist Church
Next Sunday Night.

Because an incidental remark made
by me in my pulpit few Sundays ago

the fair minded intelligence of our
community at the Methodist church
next Sunday night. A. r. Kasey.

Progress Of the Geological Survey.

Messrs. Miller and Jones, represent
ing the State Geological and soil sur
vey of the State, (not Theological Sur
vev as it was enormously designated in
the last issue of the News,) have got
ten pretty well over the northern half
of the county during tn. past week.
They have been over all the county
roads and some that are not in this dis
trict, collected soil samples from all
the different types of soils and noted
the different rock formation outcrops.
They have unexpectedly found on the
Green River at the Neatsville ford and
extending to the next ford below an
outcrop of Clinton lime stone
This is the formation which here un-
derlies the Devonian Black Shale,
which also has considerable exposure
in this vicinity.
These two formations are very wide
spread in their horizontal distribution
in the eastern United States and very
persistent in their characters. The
former is frequently iron bearing and
contains the iron mineral near Birming-
ham, Ala. 1t is also, when struck I'M
der cover, often gas and oil bearing.
While not likely to be that in this
county its presence as patch sur
rounded by newer rocks in the locality
referred to above, indicates an uplift
in that vicinity that would make it a
favorable place to drill in order to
strike any Trenton oil or gas that
might be below.
Also patch of Black Shale discov-
cred at Knifey would also indicate such
another uplift there, and for the same
reason that locality as favorable place
to sink a well. to the Trenton, here
probably within the 600 to 1000 feet of
the surface.
Oil and gas bearing rock should be
struck where they rise toward the sur
face not in the swags, because salt
water which accompanies them floats
them to the higher points in the strata
undulations. saa-

MARY LIZZIE GARRETT,
Wife Of Rev. E. W. Barnett. Calmly
Passed Over the Silent
River of Death.
FUNERAL SERVICES LARGELY ATTENDED

This week we are called upon to
chronicle another sad death which oc-
Cured last Thursday morning at 2:30
O. clock-Mary Lizzie Garrett, the old
est child of the late Judge James and
Mary Garrett, and the devoted wife of
Rev. E. w. Barnett, pastor of the
Baptist Church, Corbin, KY. The end
came at the home of Mr.. James Gar
nett, brother of the deceased, the
husband and the surviving brother and
sisters and other relatives being present.
The passing was like one peacefully
sleeping sleeping to awake in that
heavenlyhome that remains for the pure
in heart. Mrs. Barnett, when girl,
was of a retiring disposition, but her
pure life and lovable disposition, were
characteristic marks of her daily walk,
hence she was greatly loved by those,
who were near and dear to her.
About six years ago she was happily
married to Rev. E. w. Barnett, a
former pastor of the Church here, but
at the time of their marriage he was
located at Jellico and pastor of the
church in that city. For the past two
years Rev. Barnett has been preaching
for the Church at Corbin, KY, hence
Mrs. Barnett has onlysbeen in Columbia
at intervals since her marriage.
More than a year ago her health
began to fail, and after the death
of her mother, which occurred about
two months ago, she went to the
Lebanon J. Infirmary and was treated
several weeks by DR.. McChord, return
ing to this place, seemingly. much i'm
proved. But it was soon discovered
that she was rapidly fading, and last
Tuesday it was announced that with
out change for the better she could
not, live. She had weak heart and
other complications developed which
the skill of physicians could not reach,
and death was inevitable.
Mrs. Barnett was a cultured lady,
her education being received in the
schools here and at Georgetown Female
College. graduating from last named
institution when she was about nine
teen years of age. In her early girl
hood she made profession of her faith
in Christ, united with the Baptist
Church and was a devoted member
until the final dissolution.
The funeral services were held in the
Baptist church Friday morning, con-
Quoted by Rev. H. H. Hibbs, Of
Williamsburg, assisted by Rev. j. c.
Cook. The speakers paid lovirg tri-
butes to the life and character of the
dead, and friends weeped as the touch
ing words were said.
After the services, all that was
mortal of the departed was laid to rest
in the city cemetery, the mound being
decorated by floral offerings which were
many and beautiful.
The News extends its deepest SYM
pathy to the surviving loved ones,
whose hearts are full of sorrow on ac-
count of this dispensation of Provi-
dence.
