Sixth Year.
Mrs. J. H. Johns Seriously III.
Mrs. J. H. Johns, wife of our
fellow-townsman, is very serious-
ly ill at her home in east Mulhall
and grave fears are entertained
for her recovery. Her ailment
is heart trouble, from which she
has suffered for many years.
She has been in poor health for
years, but has only been alarm-
ingly ill for about three weeks.
Her condition has grown |
steadily worse, and relatives have
been called to her bedside. Her
brother, Mr. W. C. Jones, and j
her niece, Mrs. Dona Jackson,
both of Ballinger, Texas; her
daughter,Mrs. S. F. Couger, and
her° son, W. T. Johns, both of
Newtown, Missouri, are at her
bed le. Other relatives have
been advised of her serious con-
dition, and may reach here soon.
Universal sympathy is extended
Uncle Joe Johns and children,
and hope that the life of the be-
loved wife, sister and mother
may yet be spared. At this
writing (Wednesday afternoon)
her condition is reported slightly
worse.

is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom
W. Hibbs, residing in the same

Uncle Sam Garrett was taken
quite sick at t he K. of P. ban-
quet last Thursday evening, and
had to be assisted home. It is
in the nature of a nervous attack
and left him almost helpless in
his lower limbs. Dr. Childers
is treating him, and it is believed
he will soon be up and around.
We all miss Uncle Sam Garrett's
familiar figure on the street,and
the sympathy of his many friends
is extended to him in his suffer-
ing, and trust that he may soon
be out again, well and strong.
Out of the Rural Service.
Robert L. DeWitt, carrier on
rural route No. 5, who has been
in the service since 1904 leaves
the service as carrier on Novem-
ber 30. He is to be succeeded
bv Mr. Leo J. Anthis, whose ap-
pointment to the vacancy was
made on the 15th of tnis month.
Mr DeWitt moves his family to
Lovell, where he will engage in
the livery business with his
brother at that point. Mr. Leo
Anthis has purchased Mr. De
Witt's property, his mail wagon
i and his team of mules, and will
1 beirin the carrier service on
route five when Mr. DeWitt is
released. Bob DeW itt has made
a good record as carrier, is pop-
ular with his patrons who regret
to see him quit the service. Mr.
Anthis has been substitute cai -
rier on this route for tiie past
year, and in the examination
last fall for the carrier service
stood first on the list. He is
well and favorably known, and
will no doubt keep up the repu-
tation of his predecessor in t he
service. We regret to see the
removal of the DeWitt family
from Mulhall, but glad the family
is to be succeeded by so good a
j one.
A joyous Thanksgiving to all.
