Little K. Gardener Jordan.

The bright and intelligent little
son of Mrs. Nina Gardener Jordan
passed out of this life into a brighter
world Nov. %, 1915. He was born
Oct. 10, 1918. His mission on this
earth was short but sweet and his
smiles will be missed by all who
knew him and more so by that little
mother and grandma whose lives
he had ministered unto in their loss
of husband and father less than two
years ago. They too worshipped, and
had centered so many pleasant hopes
in little Gardener. The loss of such
a beautiful and sprightly child is a
sad bereavement. Their many
friends sympathize with them in this
sad hour of darkness. The funeral
services were conducted at home by
Rev. Drake, and song services by the
w. 0. w. The little body was laid
to rest in the City Cemetery.

And so their friends turned away

how deep shade that little grave in

A Scout practices self-control, for
he knows that men who master prob
lens in the world must first master
themselves. He keeps close guard
on his temper and never makes a
silly spectacle of himself by losing
his head. He keeps close guard
on his tongue, for he knows that
loud speech is often a cloak to ig-
norance, that swearing is sign of
weakness and that untruthfulness
skaters the confidence of others. He
keeps close guard on his appetite
and eats moderately of food which
will make him strong; he never uses
alcoholic liquors, because he does not
wish to poison his body; he desires
a clear, active brain, so he avoids
tobacco.
A Scout never fiinhces in the face
of danger, for he knows that such a
time every faculty must be alert to
preserve his safety and that of 9TH
ers. He knows what to do in case
of fire, or panic, or shipwreck; he
trains his mind to direct and his body
to act. In all emergencies he sets
an example of resourcefulness and
and considers the safety of
others before that of himself. He is
considerable of the helpless

Maude F., wife of Geo. l.. Porter,
passed to her reward. She was a
daughter Of the late DR.. G. G. Miles
and Margaret VOORHEES,, and was born

She was united in marriage to Geo.
l.. Porter February IL, 1894, two

viving the union. J, Mrs. Porter was
brilliant woman, possessing rare

many over the rough road of life.
She was prominently Christian
character. She professed faith in
Christ at the age of twelve and lived
a beautiful, earnest life until called
to meet her Saviour
The funeral services were held at
the home on North Division street,

respects them. A Scout prides him
self upon doing good turns" and
no day in his life is complete unless
he has been of aid to some person.
A Scout does not run away or call
for help when an accident occurs. If
a person is cut he knows how to stop
the flow of blood and gently and
carefully bind up the wound. If a
person is burned his knowledge tells
him how to alleviate the suffering.
If anyone is dragged from the water
unconscious, a Scout at once sets to
work to restore respiration and cir
culation. He knows that not a
minute can be lost.
A Scout knows that people expect
more of him than they do of other
boys and he governs his conduct so
that no word of repfoach can truth
fully be brought against the great
brotherhood to which he has pledged
his loyalty. He seeks always to
make the word Scout" worthy of
the respect of people whose opinions
have value. He wears his uniform
worthily.
A Scout knows his city as we'll as
he knows the trails in the forest.
He can guide stranger wherever
he desires to go, and his knowledge
OF shortcuts saves him many need
less steps. He knows where the DO
lice stations are located, where the
fire-alarm boxes are placed, where
the nearest doctor lives, where the
hospitals are, and which is the quick
est way to reach them. He knows
the names of the city officials and
the nature of their duties. A Scout
is proud of his city and freely offers
his services when he can help.
A Scout is patriot and is always
ready to serve his country at a min
ute's notice. He loves Old Glory and
knows the proper forms of Offering it
respect. He never permits its folds
to touch the ground. He knows how
his country is governed and who are
the men in high authority. He de-
sires a strong body, an alert mind
and an unconquerable spirit, so that
he may serve his country in any
need. He patterns his life after those

Oil Struck at Reelfoot Lake.

! Our local oil men were very much
excited last Friday night when they
we're advised by long distance tele-
phone that well had been brought
| in" at Reelfoot Lake near Samburg-
Two men were sent from here by the
Reelfoot Lake Oil Company and they
are confident after having beens on
the ground that a flow of not less
than 1000 barrels day day has
been encountered at a depth of 2,240
feet.
The company that drilled the well
has let the contract for new der
rick and has a new string of tools
coming in Owners of the we'll say
the Illinois Central will have road
running into Samburg within the
next ninety days.
The news of oil having been reach
ed drew many men to the field and
it is confidently expected several new
companies will be formed at once.
The Clinton men are to be COM
for their quickness in recog-
nizing the possibilities of the Reel
foot country and in losing no time
in getting an option on the oil pro-
ducing land which we hope and be-
lieve will yield big returns.

other fields prove that nothing will

The reason Vinol is so successful in
