BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
Mrs Josephine Lund has returned
from a visit of several months in
Nebraska, Kansas and elsewhere, and
had intended to remain in the east
until fall, but came back on account
of illness. She says the weather has
been distressingly cold most of the
time since she left here until very
recently, and whenever it was not
| uncomfortable she always happened
to be in an environment of malaria
typhoid or some other form of more
or less malignant disease. She said
she was not only physically the worse
for her trip, but she was also home
sick for Phoenix all the time, and is
now fully convinced that this is the
best place on earth for white people
to live in. She was threatened with
| typhoid when she returned a few
| days ago, but believes that issue will
| now be evaded. as she already feels
much better.
ASSIGNED TO FIELD DUTY
Surveyor General Ingalls, has been in
structed by the department to go to
Winkelman and examine and report
on the official survey made of the
township in which Winkelman is sit
uated. He says that for some reason
the Washington office seems desir-
Gus of hurrying up the approval of
the survey, wherefore this special
duty was assigned to him by wire,
and he expects to leave early in the
week to perform it, probably on Mon
day. This is the second time in his
career as surveyor general that he
has been called upon to do field
work in an emergency, the other
time being in 1904, when he exam
ined the survey of the Deer Creek
coal fields. The assignment will prob
ably take only two or three days of
field work.
OF INTEREST TO ELKS-Dr.
Frank Shirley, chiropodist, has been
reading up the laws and regulations
governing the B. p. o. E., and says
that finding nothing therein conflict
ing with his purpose, he has secured
from George Driscoll. exalted ruler
of Phoenix lodge, special dispensa-
ton of the blanket sort. Under ii
any member of the local lodge or
any visiting member who so desires,
will be privileged to get his corns
trimmed by DR.. Shirley before leav-
ing for the convention and. the doc
tor will give a guarantee that if he
does his feet will never tire. In the
event they should tire all the victim
has to do is to come back and he
will trim the feet over again and
keep on doing so until there is moth
ing left to ache.

A LETTER OF THANKS.

The Rev. II. A. Gibson, who was
called as pastor of the Peoples Pres
byterian church of this city, died May
/ 9TH. He had only been here three
weeks when his illness proved fatal
He has pastored successfully in Bowl
ing Green, KY, Indianapolis, Ind,
Springfield Mo-, Greensboro, N. c., and
Winston Salem, n. c. The Presbyter-
ian Board of New York employed him
They travelled for three years. During
this time over fifteen hundred souls
were led to Christ. In some cities
over one hundred souls were convert
ed in less than ten days. He was
known wherever he went as a worthy,
ideal Christian minister, loyal citizen,
kind and loving husband and father
Letters of coincidence are still being
received by his wife from different
parts of the Union. All who knew
him loved him. During his lifetime
there was a family quartette. Mrs.
H. A. Gibson, soprano; Paul R., aged
seven, tenor; Harry B., aged nine, alto,
and Rev Gibson, bass. Many a large
audience has been moved to tears by
songs from this quartette. Now it is
left trio, but a sad one. His widow,
Mrs. Gibson, with her four boys, have
visited weekly the green plot at Fair
mount where all that is earthly re-
mains. Here they have with tender
hands laid some fresh flowers fra
grant with sweet remembrance of hus-
band and father. Mrs. Gibson with
her four boys will leave the city Mon
day, July 26th, for Missouri and Okla
homa, where she has relatives. In
Oklahoma she will likely accept a pos
sition as teacher in one of the rural
schools.
First, in a public way, Mrs. Gibson
wishes to thank the ministers of the
city who visited her husband when he
was seriously ill and a stranger in the
city, and for the gift that was present
ed to her in the form of a small purse.
Secondly, the friends of the various
churches, who visited him, comforting
and praying with i'm. Thirdly, the un-
firing officers and members of the
Peoples Presbyterian Church, who
did all that loving hands could do to
make it pleasant for him. These faith
full friends stood by his bedside each
night till the summons came. Their
loving kindness has been shown to the
widow and the little, fatherless chill
dren in so many ways. Mr.. and Mrs,
Don Reeves of 1920 Welton street de-
serve special mention for their father
ly and motherly part in welcoming
them in their home. Fourthly, DR..
Williams and Dr. Hall and Rev Wal
lace, M. e. ministers who visited the
deceased, read and prayed with him
and conducted the funeral services
may God ever guide and bless them.
The physician, DR.. Shollenberger, who
carried heart with his profession and
showed so much kindness in his Wis
its.
Mrs. Gibson wishes to thank all who
in any way contributed to her hus-
bands welfare.
