when / shall have passed over, /
shall see him standing at some cross

his hand ready to guide me to my
heavenly home.
He was my friend in my boyhood
days. AS / rose to higher positions
in life and Travelled the country
over 1 never forgot him. He was,
and is still my friend He is gone,
but he is not dead. He is more alive
to-day than ever before. His ma
terial and mental poverty will not
prevent his being rich and wise in
the world where riches and wisdom
are possessed according to the life in
this world. Not those who possess
the most, but those who use most
wisely what they possess, be it great
or little, shall have the most in the
other world.
John Biggart leaves an example
which is worthy of being regarded
as a model. Those who passed him
by as an humble fiagman without
knowing the real man within the
crippled form, have missed an OPP
portunity. A rich legacy from his
spiritual estate is left with his only
two daughters, Bessie and Dana,
whom / have known almost from
their infancy. Mrs. Biggart, who,
with the two daughters, is left to
mourn his loss, is woman whose
noble traits were not surpassed by
those of her husband.
My deepest sympathy is hereby ex-
tended to the bereaved family, who,
trust, will take comfort in the fact
that the husband and father is not
dead, but more alive, and just be-
ginning to reap the harvest which
he sowed in this life

G. W. sturgis.

Bro. George w. Sturgis was born
April IS, 1849. and passed into the
eternal world April 2, 1918. Age
SO years, IL months and 20 days.
He was born again at the age of Is
and soon after united with the Bap-
fist Church near him. He moved
his membership to Antioch in Obion
County when he moved there, and
then few years ago, when he went
to Martin to make that his new
home, he carried his church letter
there and remained member until
death. He was a true, consecrated,
big hearted, noble spirited man. He
loved his church and helped. to sup
port it. He enjoyed the services,
and often went when he was not
able.
Bro. Sturgis spent his last days
with his daughter, Mrs. John Aus
tin, in Ridgely. He was sick for
several weeks and all that kind and
loving hands could do was done for
him.
The last time / talked with him
about death he said, II never have
been quite so ready to go as l am
now. AS soon as the Master wants
to call me am ready" When the
last moment came he closed his eyes
and went away without q struggle.
Forty-six years ago he was united
in marriage to Miss Ruth Ferguson,
and she was called by her Saviour
eight months ago.. Don't you know
it was happy for them to meet again
last Tuesday evening?
Bro. Sturgis leaves behind eight
children and several grandchildren.
One of the children is very excel
lent preacher, Bro. D. Sturgis.
We know that the loss of the loved
ones is great, but remember that
Father has met his last enemy
ind by the blood of Christ has over
come him. So let's thank God for
Bro Sturgis' consecratei life and do
all we can to honor the Saviour who
made death a sleep for him.

The Passing Of John Biggart.

l have Just recently heard of the
passing of John Biggart to the spir-
itual world. Having known him for
the past twenty-five years ] wish to
gently lay flower on his grave in
the form of an expression of my view
of his noble character.
He was poor so far as this worlds
goods are concerned, and he had lit
tie education as the world counts
education. The lack of these serves
to emphasize the more the noble
traits of his sterling character. Not
that poverty or illiteracy are essen
tial to goodness, but that the lack of
them brings goodness more clearly to
view.
While he was poor he was honest.
While he was uncducated he was
meek. To live right was the chief
aim of his life. To provide for his
home, which he did in a comfortable
way, was the first duty of his life.
He preferred an honorable occupa-
tion, however humble it might be,
to any dishonorable business. He
worked in the forests. He titled the
soil. He worked in the mills, where
he all but lost his life once, and was
disabled for manual labor for the
rest of his life. Unlike many other
men who meet similar fates, he re-
fused to beg his bread and throw
himself upon public charity. He
sought and found an occupation for
which he was fitted-that of flag
ging rail road crossing-which
position he filled with credit to the
end of his life on earth, or till he
was no longer able to leave his home.
He was ten year at the one crossing
in Union City. When passed thru
the city it was never too hot, too
dusty nor the weather too severe for
me to walk over to his little cabin
on the crossing to have visit with
him. AS / saw him walk to and fro
with his signal-fiag in his hand
warning the people OF the danger
and protecting them, 1 thought,
show appropriate is this occupation
to his real character!" He was con-
stantly on the crossings of life's
highways warning his fellowman of
the spiritual dangers about them.
Methinks he shall desire no higher
occupation in the heavenly land than
to stand guard at the crossings of

OIL TRACE FOUND.

A trace of Oil was struck on the
Wallace farm, near Dundee, early
Wednesday morning, at a debth of
about three hundred feet. Work
on the Wallace well was started sew
eral weeks ago, but little progress
was made until Harold Holbrook
bought the drilling outfit, fired a
bunch of employees, and started drill
ing in earnest.
The Blue Lick water which was
struck at about six hundred feet in
the Hartford oil field was found at
a debth of two hundred and seven
ty-five feet in the Wallace well. This
would indicate that the oil sand
would be reached at a. depth of three
hundred feet less in the Wallace
well than in the Hartford field. This
water is substantially the sulphur
water at Sulphur Springs. The depth
at which the Blue Lick water has
been found indicates an ascent of
strata in that direction, more indica-
tive of oil than the Hartford field.
The people drilling at Olaton have
had much trouble with their ma
chinery,sa and are making slow prog

HELP WANTED.

Our Idea of local newspaper is,
the largest possible volume of local
news. We take 1t, that people buy
a county paper chiefly for its weekly
history of county events. We are
anxious to chronicle such events, but
to do so we must first get them from
the people who know them. We
are doing all our limited energy and
industry can do to make a newspaper
according to our ideal. and we want
to ask every citizen who has know
ledge of any event that is in anyway
out of the ordinary course of happen
ings to report ii to us. The news
field is practically inexhaustable.
There are enough actual news hap
penings in Ohio county every day in
the week to make a daily paper, If
they were reported, and we want to
enlist the cooperation of every citi-
porting the news from his or her
community. Too many people have
a notion that Mr. and Mrs. Smith, of
Somewhere are visiting the family
of Mr.. Brown is about all the news
worth reporting. The coming and
going of people, especially of we'll
known people, is real news, but there
are other events occurring in every
neighborhood almost every day that
are really news. Births, deaths, mar
riages, fires, accidents, farm sales,
business deals of magnitude, new
erected, storm damage, crop
conditions, and a multitude of other
events that attract local attention are
real news. Perhaps the simplest rule
for determining news is, if the neigh
bors are telling it with interest to
one another report it to the news
paper. This Office has both tele-
phones, and we will gratefully appre-
ciate the favor If people who know
that comes under the rules
mentioned will call us up and report

BIG ROAD WORKING.

Notwithstanding the very busy
season of the year there was big
turn out to work the roads Friday,
and much effective work was accom-
plished. Especially that part of the
road between Hartford and Pleasant
Ridge was materially improved, and
II is now possible to drive over 1t with
speed and comfort. The pike be-
tween Hartford and Beaver Dam
came in for its share of improvement.
A quantity of crushed stone was haul
ed out from Beaver Dam and the
holes and ruts were filed up. A trac-
tor was used on this section of road
to pull a grader, and the good result
is apparent to travel over this sec
tion of road Everywhere, from
Green River church to Pleasant
Ridge, the mud holes and bridges
were put in a good state of repair,
and the effect of this days work will
show for months to come. A little
later, when farm work is in better
condition, another road working day
will be called. and the road from
Green river. through Centertown,
Hartford, Dundee, Fordsville and on
to the. Hancock line, will be worked.
At these roadworkings the Fiscal
court will furnish the necessary stone,
lumber and other material for use by
the army of volunteer road workers.
Those interested in good roads should
begin now to interest the public in
the great road working day ahead.

PUT IN GUARD HOUSE.

When sheriff Bratcher delivered
the deserters. Ode Wilson and Earl
Ford, to the Provost Marshals office,
at Camp Taylor, last week, they were
each closely questioned about their
reasons for desertion and record
made of their answers after which
they were sent to the guard house.
The officer in charge told us the low
est penalty for desertion in time of
war was ten years at hard labor in a
federal penitentiary. However, CT
villains familiar with the handling of
such matters at the Camp said that
for youths of their ages choice was
sometimes given between the pehi-
Tertiary sentence and immediate en-
barkment for France. We do not
know If this latter information is
reliable.
