stately. Its streets are broad. They
are bordered by many noble build

DEATH OF Mr.. ]. c. uoansDY, 81.

The Gazette regrets to chronicle the
death of Mr.. J. C. Hornsby, the father
OF Messrs. Sam p, and X. o. Hornsby
of this parish, which occurred at Spring
vale," the home of his brother, Mr.. X.
o. Hornsby, in Jefferson county, Miss. =,
on Saturday, August 2Sth, in the 63rd
year OF his age. Mr.. Hornsby had been
in bad health for some years and had
been great sufferer. He was a cotton
planter and plantation manager of un-
questioned ability for years and was al
ways popular and highly respected citi-
zen. His wife preceded him to the grave
some years since. Deceased is survived by
one brother, Mr.. r. o. Hornsby, of JEFF
ferson county, and the following children,
viz: Sam p, Mrs. Matte West, ]. C. Jr,
Mrs. Jessie May Wydac, and Grafton

Europe and large nobby mansions
in New York.
1t takes a couple of thousand dol
lars, several months, and a couple
of non -committal men in mud plas-
tered overalls to dig an oil well.
They begin by going up about sixty
feet. When they have finished their
derrick they hang drill in it. This
drill weighs half ton and is as
large as the one which the dentist
uses on a red-hot wisdom tootn.
Then the men hitch the drill to an
engine and punch forty-two CEN
timetre hole in the earth's crust.
Sometimes, after they have been
punching away for several weeks.
the hole blows the derrick into the
sky. utterly running it. Then the
owner shrieks with glee and en-
ploys 500 men to catch the spouting
oil in barrels. But sometimes the
derrick is as good as new when the
hole is finished. Then the owner
curses and takes the derrick away
to some other place which smells
oily.
An oil we'll with its fancy-work
on top cutters up the landscape a
good deal, but nobody seems to
mind. In Cleveland, Ohio, some of
the finest residences in the city are
defaced by well-derricks in their
back yards. but the owner of the
house does not tear his hair and
mourn, because his cucumber vines
are getting trampled on. He mere
ly sings a low sweet song on the
first OF each month and goes down
to the safety deposit vault to cut
coupons. We would enjoy being a
rich man and having an oil well in
our back yard. We would even con-
sent to be very poor man if an oil
well would come and deface our as
paragus bed and fill our cellar full
of petroleum and our sock full of
new $40 gold pieces.
An industrious oil we'll is one Of
the pleasantest companions on earth
even if it does gum up the surround
inPs a little. 1t is one Of the few
things on earth which finds a warm
welcome everywhere.

Quite a number Of our people
who have subscribed to stock in the
Cotton Queen Oil Co. Of Shreveport.
represented here by Mr.. c. w. Van
Hoose, were made to feel good this
week when news came that this
company had brought in two wells
and both of which are said to be
good producers. A third well is ex-
pected in this week, and which will
give the Cotton Queen the distinc-
ton enjoyed by no other oil COM
pany of bringing in three wells in
the space of one week. Crude oil is
advancing somewhat in price and is
now quoted at 65c per barrel as
against 35c some time since. This
would lead us to hope for good divi-
dends to those who invested in this
stock.

The Natchez, rightfully considered one Of

respects at big expense, and is now in

many who will welcome her return to her
old trade, and it is said her prospects are
very bright.-Natchez-N News Democrat.
