Received by Lombardy Heights Farm
Direct From England.

A cock bird and two hens of the
Blue Orpington strain, which is
something new among chicken fan
ciers, were received by John o. Reid,
proprietor of Lombardy Heights
Poultry Farm, of this city, Sunday,
the birds being a direct importation
from England. Mr.. Reid, who is al
ways on the lookout for the latest
and best for his host of patrons,
made the importation with two 9TH
er big national fanciers, being de-
termined to secure the birds direct
from the fountainhead. His trio ar
rived in splendid shape considering
their long journey and are quite an
addition to the Lombardy Heights
collection of feathered blue bloods.
Mr.. Reid has now in press a very
handsome poultry catalogue and mat
ing list, which he will soon mail out
to his customers. 1t is profusely il
Illustrated with scenes of his yards
and will undoubtedly be sought for
with unusual interest by fanciers and
all others interested in fine poultry.
Mr.. Reid is being kept busy filling
orders for eggs from his different
yards the orders coming in from all
sections of the country. He has
built up a great business in pure
bred poultry and his immense plant
must be seen to be appreciated.

MAY BLOCK OIL DRILLING
Operators Want to Drill for Oil But
May Be Prevented.

The cupidity of few owners of
some knob land below town may pre-
vent drilling tests being made for
oil in that section by Indiana par
ties who have the matter under con-
sideraion. Frank Coss, of Green
castle, Ind, was here last week with
Mayor A. B. Florence, looking over
the local field. He plans to put sew
eral rigs to drilling test wells if op-
tions can be secured on a sufficient
acreage in the section which is be-
lieved to show best signs of oil, be-
low town. Nearly all of the prop
erty owners seen by Mr.. Florence
have readily signed options to permit
drilling on their farms, but few are
holding out for eXorbitant charges,
and this may block the whole scheme
as the oil operators will not drill
unless they secure the acreage de-
sired unhampered. Everyone be-
lieves that oil is sure to be located
in that section as such unmistakable
signs were shown when wells were
drilled a number of years ago. The
high price to which oil has advanced
has caused the big operators to pros
pect for it in all directions and
wherever favorable prospects are
shown. All who have investigated
this county, are satisfied that there
is great pool of OH located some
where under Lincoln county and the
only problem is to locafe it..

PNEUMONIA is
QUICKLY FATAL
w. H. Murphy, One of Lincoln's
Most Prominent Farmers, Dies
While Visiting in Danvilie.

The news of the death of Mr.. w.
H. Murphy, at the home of his
friend, F. K. Tribble, in Danville
Friday night was received here early
Saturday morning and there was
genuine feeling of sorrow, both for
the departed and those who were
near and dear to him. Less than a
week before the fatal night, Mr.. and
Mrs. Murphy went from their home
out on the Hustonville pike to visit
Mr.. and Mrs. Tribble and he was
stricken almost Immediately on his
arrival with pneumonia. His fee
BILE body could not long withstand
the ravages of that and other diseas-
es which were troubling him and
from the start it was believed that
he would not recover. While con-
scious up to the end, his brother,
John S. Murphy, tells this paper
that he talked very little. He was
prepared spiritually for the end, and
the only regret he had was leaving
the loved ones behind.
Mr.. Murphy was 60 years of age
and is survived by his wife, who was
Miss Bette Powell, of the West End,
and five children. The children of
his first wife, who was Miss Kate
Singleton, a niece of the late Joseph
McAlister, are Joseph H. Murphy, of
Mckinney, Texas, Mrs. Lewis An
drews, of Sherman, Texas, and Miss
Sue Whitley Murphy, now teaching
at Gooding, Idaho. Those of his last
wife are Miss Katharine, eight years
old, and Master J. Smith, four. He
is also survived by the brother men,
toned above and two sisters, Mrs.
Lizzie Rice, of Denver, Colorado, and
Mrs. Nora Goodnight, of this city.
In their irreparable loss each and
all of them have the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends.
Deceased was a SOL of the late
Squire John S. Murphy, for years
one of the wealthiest and most prom
inent men of the county. The elder
Murphy, who was the first president
of the First National Bank, of this
city, died a number of years ago,
leaving a good name and consid-
cradle fortune to his children. He
was a successful farmer and owned
the magnificent place he lived on
some four miles from Stanford on the
Hustonville pike. There were few
better farmers than he, while as a
breeder of fine saddle horses, he
was widely known.
For nearly As years he had been
a member of the Christian church,
his membership at his death being
with the church at Turnersville,
where he cook much interest in the
various duties incumbent upon him.
He was kind-hearted, clever man;
scrupulously honest, and exceedingly
firm in his convictions. He did right
as he saw right, and if he erred, it
was of the head and not of the
heart.
He will be missed by the citizens
of the county generally and his place
as a citizen will be hard to fill. May
the sod lie gently on his grave and
a merciful God comfort the sorrow
ing ones in their dark hour.
The funeral is being preached this
afternoon at his late home. by Rev.
Mont Gabhart, pastor of the Turner's
