Last Tuesday about six O'Clock
our community was greatly shocked
to learn of the serious burning OF
Sarah, the dear little daughter. OF
Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Whitfield,
which occurred at their home.
The little girl was sitting in front
OF an open fireplace, eating an or
ange. Her mother, after warning
her about playing with fire, left her
to attend to some outside duties and
had not reached her destination be-
fore she heard the child scream and
saw her running toward her with
her clothing all a5laze. Her inju-
nes were so frightful and extensive
1t was seen that she could not re-
cover, and early Thursday morning
death relieved her of all pain and
her soul winged its flight to the
beautiful realms above.
1t is the saddest death that has
occurred in this vicinity in years.
The entire community mourns her
untimely death with her broken
hearted parents, assuring them of
deepest sympathy in the loss of
their darling child. The funeral
services were conducted from the
Methodist church, Rev. J. A. Nor
gan officiating Her remains were
tenderly laid to rest in the local
cemetery.
Miss Lizzie Hill died Saturday
night at the regidence of herr bother.
While she had been in feeble health
for some time her death was unex-
peCted and due to dropsy of the
heart. She is survived by one sis-
ter, Miss Luella Hill, and two
brothers and host of friends who
mourn her heath. Her remains
were inferred in the Collins Spring
cemetery. The services were con-
Quoted in the chapel by Rev. J. A.
Morgan and Rev. Mr.. Kutz. Those
in bereavement have the deepest
sympathy of the entire community.
Smyrna Bank building is rapidly
nearing completion and the bank
will probably be ready for business
about the middle of March.
Mr.. Cleveland Green has opened
a dry goods and notion store in the
old Whitfield stand in the Tele-
phone Exchange building where he
is amply able to handle all business
in that line of trade.

Master Gordon Tollerson, who has
been real sick for a week or two, is
now convalescent.
The measuring party given at the
residence of Mrs. J. w. Magill last
week by the Ladies Aid Society of
the Baptist church was successful
both socially and financially. The

their cause.

USE FOR SHELTER ACID.
May Be Compounded With Phos-
phate Rock in Making Fertilizer.

1t is announced by the geological survey
that the discovery of phosphate rock in
Montana is likely to have an important
effect in providing an outlet for the sui
phuric acid that might be manufactured
by the big smelters there, but which is
now allowed to go TO waste and poisons
the range within a radius of much aS
thirty miles from the smelter works.
The withdrawal of the phosphate lands
from homestead entry was announced
some weeks ago after the fields were re-
ported by Hoyt Gale, one of the field ge-
ologists. These deposits are extensive
and are considered of great potential
value. The smelter trouble with the pro-
duCrion of sulphuric acid fumes has been
Investigated by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the Department of Agriculture.
There have been a number of suits against
the smelters, but they have allowed ths
acid fumes to go to waste for lack OF
some profitable way TO employ them. With

the officers of the geological survey say
cheap phosphate fertilizers are possi-
bility.

ENCL|SHMAN PRAISES

W. N. Acworth, Expert, Says
They Are Unsurpassed by
Those of Any Other Nation.

| NEW YORK, February Both criti-

are embodied i'm a statement made by
w NJ. Acworth. the English railway
economist, on the eve Of his departure
yesterday for England. Mr.. Acworth has
been making study of American rail-
roads during the last two months. in
cidentaly testifying before the Presi-
dents railroad securities commission. He
| has made several previous examinations
of American railroads at intervals of
two or three years.
The principal defect that Mr.. AcWorth
finds in American railway management
lies in "the Capitalization of administra-
tive power in headquarters Offices in Chi

ing doubtless to efficiency and economy.

the ranking officers of your railways
should every now and then visit the diff

cultivate the personal acquaintance of
their citizens.
Mr. IAcworth is of the opinion that the
skeletons in the railroad cupboards have
all been buried. and that now the roads
would do well to open their cupboards

plication of science to agriculture. One
of the important phases of this work
was in entomology, owing to the vital
relations between insects and farm prod
ucts, both in the case of the few bene-
fetal insects and the many insect pests.
AS other countries have gone more into
scientific farming they have turned to
the Department of Agriculture for guild
ance and there have come calls for
trained men in the last few years from
Russia to Peru. The result has been that
while this government wanted to be polite

which is now in session in ST. Louis, has
under consideration several subjects
vitality affecting the interest of their
trades. One of these is the increase in
the cost Of linseed oil. caused by the de-
crease of it's production in the United
States, and the deterioration in its quail
ity. During the last year the yield in lin
seed oil was less than in any one of the
ten preceding years, although the acreage
planted with flax was greater. Some
means of encouraging the farmer to Gull
tivate more flax and to raise the standard
Of the crop is a problem which the paint
manufacturers are preparing to submit
to the Department of Agriculture Owing
to the fact that the farmers carelessly
permit rape, milet. mustard and other
weeds to become mixed with the flax. the
linseed oil is of much poorer quality than
ii used to be. AS a result the permanent
gloss desired in paint is harder to obtain.
During the past year large quantity of
the oil manufactured for American paints
has been extracted from flax seed i'm
ported from Argentina.
The increased use of concrete and
cement for building purposes presents to
both the painter and decorator the need
of special materials for treating these sur
faces. Both concrete and cement need to
be Waterproofed even when it Is not neces-
sary to change their color. The paint
suitable for wood and brick does not
satisfactorily finish these materials.
Never has the trade of painting pre-
sented so many perpleXities as now. A

In the newer developments of wall pa

Greek columns and cornices, will appeal

to order in many ways and several copies
of small windows designed by John La

ton in this new material. This is said to
be more durable and also more artistic
than any imitation of stained glass yet
put upon the market.

benefit by their larger manufactures. The
ESTEEM in which American wall papers are
held in England was recently evidenced
by the action of the queen, who selected
American wall paper for every room in
one palace. entirely ignoring the designs
submitted by English firms
The dangers attending the work of both
the outside and inside painter and deco
rator have given much cause for the con-
sideration of improved appliances in the
way of scaffolding, ladders and rope.
Badly tied ropes often are responsible for
severe falls. so lessons in rope tieing are
a part of the work of an apprentice in a
large contracting firm in montreal. The
substitution of steel rope or cable requires
some changes in this respect, but its re-
liability has proved superior to hemp.
The erection of scaffolding for large
contracts requires no small amount of
engineering skill. The number of persons
injured in the United States from falls
in defective sea folding is 25 per cent less
than last year, although the amount of
work requiring scaffoding was much
greater. This is due to the extra care
taken by contractors in this respect. In
some states legislation has been enacted
requiring certain provisions. In others,
public sentiment is no doubt influential in
securing the same result.

HOW TO KILL QUAcK GRASS.
Prof. Pillman of Ames Agricultural
College Tells of Easy and Sure
Method to Students.

In a talk before the graduate
school, Prof. W. J. Pillman of the de-
partment of agriculture told of an
easy and sure method of killing
quack grass that has been discovered
by the Office farm management. The
method this office has adopted in
studying weeds is to find out what
each part of the plant is doing each
day in the year. 1t was found that
the underground stems of the plant
live through the winter and throw
up shoots in the spring. The old
underground stems die at once and
new ones are not formed until about
the ime the plant goes to seed. If
the quack grass - cut just as the
heads are forming, the strength will
go into growing up again to form
new heads rather than to form un-
derground stems. If it Is kept cut
down there will be no underground
stems formed until late in the fall.
The ones formed then will be spind-
lings, and close to the surface. A
shallow blowing will turn them out
and one or two borrowings will finish
them. II the work is carefully done
there will be little or no quack grass
the following year.
