Wet Gas.

Many people are already COM
planning about the moisture in
the gas. 1t is true, of course,
that there is moisture in all nat
ural gas, but if ycu will use a
stove which has a pipe running
up into the fue of your house,
you will not have any trouble
with the moisture in the gas.
We doubt if there is a stove
made which will do good service
unless it has a pipe to carry of
the fumes and moisture.
Gas is a luxury you ought to
have, for the reason that it is
cheap, convenient, and a COM
fort in every way. Why don't
you have your house piped for
gas, and quit being worried with
the choppiug of kindling wood,
carrying ashes out and coal or
wood in? With gas it is merely
light a match, turn on the gas,
and you have a fire. Try it. Do
II now.

Almost a Century.
Baxter's Oldest Citizen Passed
Away Monday Morning.

Aaron S. Patton, the Oldest
man in Baxter Springs, passed
away on Monday morning of this
week. He was not i'll, had not
had a doctor in twenty-five years,
his last illness being a quarter Of
a century ago, when the late DIR.
A. J. Mcclellan was the attend
ing physician. And his illness
at that time was not of a serious
nature, being only a slight stroke
of paralysis.
Mr.. Patton died as he lived,
quietly. He just went to SLEEP.
Deceased was born in Switzer-
land county, Ind April 20, 1920,
and was 90 years, 7 months and
5 DAYS of age. When eight years
of age his family moved to 1lli-
nois, settling in Mclean county,
where he lived and was married.
In 1870 he moved with his family
to Montgomery county, Kansas,
settling at or near Caney. In
1872 he brought his family to
Baxter Springs, where he made
his home from that time.
He was one of the most consis-
tent Christians we have ever
known. Not for the last Ealf
century did he fail to kneel in
prayer at night. He never spoke
i'll of any man, believing that it
was better to say something good
of his fellow man, or else say
nothing. He was kind father,
an affectionate husband and a
good citizen. And when a man
is ali that he is all right in the
great hereafter. His wife died
in 1874 iu this city, and Mr.. Pat
ton never remarked,
Funeral services were held at
the home on Vine street Tuesday
afternoon, conducted by Rev.
Brakebill of the M. L. Church,
aftef which interment was made
in the Baxter cemetery.
Mr.. Patton leaves six children
to mourn his death. They are
NJ. A. Patton, B. W. Patton and
Miss Matte Patton of this city;
w. L. Patton of Ration, New
Mexico; and ]. S. Patton of Kan
sas City, Mo.

The N. 0. G.

If that steel, which has been
on the road for a long time, would
arrive, work on the building OF
the NJ. o. G. road into this city
would soon be only a memory.
The little bridges and culverts
are in, work will begin on the
Baxter station within a very few
days, and nothing is delaying ex-
cept the non-arrival of the rails
| to finish the road from Quapaw
| to the connection with the Frisco
in this city.
In an interview given out by
Mr.. Kenefick a few days ago he
is quoted as saying the company
will operate motor cars on the
new road. If this is true, it is
no doubt the intention of the
company to run motor cars quite
frequently and take care OF all
passenger business in the way of
short hauls with them. They
would in no wise interfere with
through traffic, but would no
doubt be a benefit in this respect.
The road is being ballasted
from Quapaw south, and fine
Job of work is being done. The
spur which was built from the
main line over to the Mission
failing pile is doing business
every day, and practically half OF
the big failing pile has been
moved. AS soon as the rails are
laid to this city, the road will be
ballasted from Quapaw to Baxter.
Come on with those rails.

We notice some people rake
the leaves off their lawns and
burn them. This is one,of the
most foolish things in the world.
Nothing is better for grass than
rotten leaves, and nothing adds
more to the richness of the soil,
unless il be barnyard manure.
Let the leaves lie on the yard,
but If you do not want to do this,
rake them up in a pile and LET
them rot. They will make fine
fertilizer for the flowers next
spring. Any successful raiser Of
flowers win tell you this.
