Mrs. Elizabeth Caldwell Watson


 Mrs. Elizabeth Caldwell Wat son, aged n years, passed away at her home on Main street Wednesday afternoon at 3:55 o'clock after an illness of several weeks from stomach trouble.
 The deceased was born No- Vember p, 1889 in mdepend- ence county In early woman- hood. she was married to the late E. L. Watson, who preceded his devoted wife, a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Watson set tied at Old Jacksonport where they lived until coming to this city, being among the very first residents of the town.
 The passing of this eXcellclF Christian woman has cast a gloom over her friends that have known and loved her SO long and we'll. A devout Chris tian and member of the Metho- dist church, but her charity was not confined to her own church and those who knocked at her door for help were not turned away empty handed.
 The closing of the old home is sad indeed and comes as a great sorrow to the, children who have been raised there by the mother who has gone.
 The funeral was held Thurs day morning, conducted by Rev. B. L. Milford of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev E. M. Pipkin of Osceola, a former pas tor. The service was a sweet and impressive one and the beautiful flowers sweet tokens of love and remembrance.
 The remains were carried Thursday afternoon to Memphis over the Rock Island for burial at Elmwood cemetery, the rest ing place of her deceased hus- band and daughter. The re- mains were accompanied by o. D. Watson, Mrs. J. A. Watkins, Miss Lyons, Dr. w. l.. Nelligan, Charles c. Henry, B. B. Bond and Acorn Ferguson.
 Mrs. Watson is survived by one son and three daughters, who are o. D. Watson, Mrs. Mrs. Claude M. Erwin, Mrs. w. l.. Nelligan of this city and Mrs.

Only 2S Boys In Reform School.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock. Nov. 13.-The effects of cool weather, which seems to curb the unlawful spir- il of the youthful offenders, is being felt at the State Reform School. This institution, with nearly 50 inmates in the sum- mer, has dWindled to a daily feed line of 2S. There are more on the road to the penal institu- ton, but there are also a num- ber who have about served their terms.
 'It seems as if the warm wea- ther has it's effect upon crime says Superintendent Deaton, "for when il begins to get warm the boys flock in, and when it is cool they go out, with few to take their places. We hardly have enough boys during the winter to cut the lirewood, but in the summer there are more than we can raise vegetables for on our we'll rocked hillside. So many county courts meeting in the summer may have some thing to do with it, but ] be- lieve the warm weather has more. or we would have more boys in the winter than we do.'

Broken Cable Closes Ferry.

J. L. Howard, who has been op- erating the Point ferry over Black river above Jacksonport, was down Thursday and report ed the breaking of the ferry ca ble and discontinuance of serv- ice.
 The ferryman was unable to purchase a new cable and a sub scription pledge was passed a. Enong the merchants and busi- ness men to assist him in resum- ing service. If the road from the ferry to the high ground, a. bout two miles on the other side of the river, was put in good travelling condition and this ferry advertised throughout the rich and fertile Big Bottom. Newport would get a great deal of cotton and trade that now goes to Newark and Batesville. The business men ought to see that this ferry is maintained land given financial assistance until it's tolls are sufficient to insure it's operation by the owners.

Major league pitchers are not wearing
their arms out any longer trying for

like Christy Mathewson and Ed Walsh

A large crowd went up to Okanogan
Falls Tuesday in motor cars, and had
a delightful day of it. The Oroville
ball club defeated the Penticton team
by a score of 13 to 0, pulling down
the $3.50 purse. Three of the automo-
biles were sidetracked owing to blow
outs, and Del Wood made two or
three round trips during the night
bringing in the stranded excursionists.
The wrestling exhibition given in
Bartells hall Saturday night was ex
ceptionally good Clarence Eklund
proved himself to be an expert at the
game, as did his partner Simmons.
The two put on fifteen minute handi-
cap go which was as pretty and ex-
citine performance as could be seen
anywhere. A more liberal patronage
was deserved, and if Eklund or Sim
mons return for the Fourth either
should draw large crowd.

DEATH OF MRS. MURRAY

Only brief mention was made last
week of the death of Mrs. Judson Muir
ray, who died at the family home a
short distance east of Oroville last
Wednesday morning. The deceased
was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, April l,
1S49, and hence was aged GA years, l
month and % days at the time of her
death Her maiden name was Emily
A. Wheeler, and she moved to Doug
las county with her father in 1886.
She was married to Judson Murray
January 16, 1889, and they lived near
Waterville until 1900, moving to Alma,
now Okanogan. Some two years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray took up their
residence on ranch near Oroville.
Mrs. Murray was an invalid for fif-
teen years. and for the past three
years has been almost helpless, hence
her death was not unexpected. She
was life long member of the Christ
ain church, and took an active part
in church work until incapacitated by
poor health. A devoted wife, kindly
neighbor and a devout christian the
deceased has many friends who re-
greet her demise.
