{. B. WATSON NOW
IS NUMBERED WITH
THE DEAD At REST

+. B. WATSON. one of the we'll
known farmers of this valley, died
at his home in this city, 70l North
Water street on Sunday morning
April 81, 1918. Age ~ years.
Mr.. WATSON was born in Vernon
county, Missouri, April 7, 1871.
When only six months old his
mother died. When small boy
his folks moved over into Bates
county and settled near Belver and
Papinsville, on the Mariasdecygne
river, what is now the coal fields,
and the big drainage canal for the
bottom crosses his old home place,
and it was in constructing this ar
tificial waterway that the coal bed
was discovered on the WATSON
farm.
He quit school at the age of 10
years and set to earn his own liv-
ing and carve out his fortune, and
in order to do this, two years later,
1889, found him a resident of this
beautiful valley, which was then a
vast area of sage bush, save a linn
tied territory around this city, and
here and there in the valley on
some mountain stream a home in a
fertile spot. After working in the
Swauk mines and in mills for some
eight years, or until he purchased
part of the old Walter A. Bull
ranch, six miles southeast of this
city, April 20, 1899, he and Miss
Clara D. Fillmore, a native of Kit.

holy bonds of matrimonv.
Left an orphan at an early age,
and thrown upon his own resources
while mere lad to make his way
through life, he faced all adversi-
ties with a commendable courage
that conquered and made of him
one of the well-to-do and substan-
tial farmers of this valley.
Mr.. WATSON was fraternally as
ISOLATED with the Knights of Pyth-
las and Woodmen of the World.
His early training was in the
faith of the PRESBYTERIAN church,
but he at no time had any church
connection.
Some five years ago his health
began to decline and and in his eff
fort to regain lost health he spent
two years or more in Arizona, and
in travelling, but all to no pur-
pose; the deadly fangs of tubercu-
losis had fastend too firmly to his
vitals to be removed, and some
months ago he returned to Ellens.
burg to spend the remainder of his
days surrounded by a host of warm
friends. neighbors and relatives.
The funeral took place from the
M. Z. church, conducted by Rey
Caughlin, who paid him a glowing
tribute. The church was filled tc
it's capacity by people whose desire
it was to pay the last tribute of re
spect to the memory of friend.
The pail bearers were: John N

Train Is Pitched Down A
Mountain.

Hinton, W. VA, May 21.-
The wrecking of a train between
Sewell and Landisburg last night
caused four deaths and four Ger.
sons were hurt. Caught by a
landslide from the mountains
caused by cloudburst, the train
was swep from the tracks and
thrown 400 feet down the noun
tain side. The accident occurred
on a narrow-gauge railroad own
ed by Pittsburg lumber and
coal company and not a branch
of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad as previously reported.
When the landslide 0verwhelm-
ed the train, composed of an en-
CINE, three freight cars and a
caboose, the latter used for
passengers. it went tumbling
down the steep mountain side.
Mrs. Sellers, trapped in the
caboose with others, made the
horrible fight. Her clothing
was stripped from her body,-
but she sustained only slight
injuries, although her 3. year-old
child was killed.

To Survey Oyster Beds.

Washington, May 21.-Dr. Ais
berg, chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry, tonight announced
that the Department of Agricul
ture is planning to deal with the
polluted oyster situation in a
new policy differs widely from
the old one, under which shippers
Of inferior oysters were pun
ished, but nothing was done to
help producers to keep oysters
wholesome. In the future we
shall do more than punish and
sympathize," said the doctor.
THE department is about to
begin a systematic sanitary
study of the entire question Of
oyster production, he continued.
The first thing is to learn what
beds from Cape Cod to Texas
are polluted. These, I think,
will prove to be few. We then
shall be able to control interstate
shipments from these beds, and
the publicity 6hus given will
make it a simple matter for
State and municipal authorities
to prevent'local sales. The sec.
ond step is to see that oysters
from wholesome beds are handled
in a sanitary manner. Those
two things should 90 far to re.
store public confidence in oys

Christ's Gospel Wanted in
China.

Two messages of appeal from
native Christians in China were
read in the recent conference of
the Seventh Day Adventists of
the World at Washington, D. G..
One OF the letters was from a
Chinese Seventh Day Church of
the Honan province and the other
from a native student of the
Nank1ng Seventh Day Adventist
School. Both told of the won
derful opportunity for gospel
work offered ID China, particu-
larly since that country has be-
come a republic, giving religious
liberty to all.
One letter said that not one
person IN the province of Shan
tung, Shansi and Shensi, with a
population of more than 100000,
600, had yet heard the gospel
preached. "SureIy the harvest
is great and the reapcrs are few, -
read the appeal. In China but
seven provinces have as yet been
entered by Christ's message and
even in these provinces but one
in hundred has had the oppor-
tunlty of hearing this message.
Think of this territory with it's
population of over 400, 900. 900, of
which not one in q thousand has
yet heard His message.
