A THOUGHT FOR VINITA
Health is the most priceless
boon vouchsafed to humanity by
a beneficent providence. Man
ought prize such a magnifi-
cent gift by using every means
to exalt and preserve the health
of communities. Vinita has an
abundance of pure clean water
and a water and sewer system
that could easily be made to
convert this city into a veritable
health resort. But e fail to
properly use or appreciate our
great advantage. The lack of
lateral sewerage is the cause of
typhoid and other diseases so
the physicians tell us. Let the
board of health get busy and
insist upon a proper use and ob-
servance of the simple laws of
health in Vinita.
New York Sept 23. 1908.
To D. M. Marrs:
You were elected a member of the Asso-
ciated Press today. Shall we begin ser-
vice Monday. Sept 28 T
Melville E. Stone. Manager.
The above message was received at
3:30 this afternoon and means that the
Daily Chieftain is again a member of that
great news gathering corporation the
Associated Press. It again places Vinita
in touch with the world in the matter of
news. The Associated Press is the great-
est news service in the world and mem-
bership means that the Chieftain has the
exclusive franchise for Vinita and a
radious of 30 miles. The Daily Chieftain
again steps to the front and gives its
readers and advertisers the benefit of the j
best news service to be had. Some may
not fully realize what it means to have
the Associated Press service in a city the
size of Vinita. It is a privilege not enjoyed
by many cities of less than ten thousand.
The Chieftain is enjoying a good patron-
age and nothing is too good for the people
of Vinita who just now are showing the
metal that is in them by paving streets
build'ng sidewalks and general progress
along all lines.
Now comes W. C. Jackson county
jddge of Muskogee county and declares
x the Hillups Booze bill O. K. The supreme
court and several other courts can now go
straight to the demnition bowwows
There is not much more to say anent
tht sale of the school lands and the Billups
bill. The people have almost by common
consent decided to throw them both over
board and further argument would be
superfluous.
The Roosevelt that attacks Haskell and
is willing to say that he is connected with
dishonest transactions with the Standard
Oil company is the same Roosevelt that
called Alien B. Parker a liar four years
ago when the latter declared the republi
can campaign committee had received
contributions from some of the big life in-
surance companies of New York. Park-
er's statement was verified but Roosevelt
was never the man to retract.

Mrs. Rhoda A. S. Gill.
Fn.orprl into the Lord's rest on Tuesday i
afternoon at 1:15 o'clock Sept. 8. 1908 at
hir home home two and a half miles west
of Springfield 111. Mrs. Rhoda A. S. Gill
relict of the late John W.um.sr. iormeny
of Wheeling W. Va.
Mrs Gill was born in Lolumbus Uluo
Dec. 23 1820 and was in her eighty-
eighth year. She was the third daughter
of Judge David Smith formerly of
Columbus Ohio and was given by him
and rhrou i!h excellent teachers a fine
education to which was added an un
usually bright active and intelligent
mentality. While in early womanhood
shp pnioved the privilege of spending
several seasons in Washington D. C
her father held office under Presi
dent Polk in the postoffice department.
and there either met personally or saw
and heard all the eminent personages of
our country of that generation ot great
men. . .
On Feb. 22. 1844 at Columbus Ohio
sht. was united in marriage to John W.
Gill Sr. then a prominent manufacturer
of silk andiron of Wheeling W. Va. inis
union was a most happy one. Mr. Gill
died at Springfield 111. on Oct. 3 1872
and deceased cherished his memory
sacredly.
In 1864 the family removed from
Wheeling to Sangamon county ILL pur-
chasing a farm on the Beardstown road
two and a half miles west of Springfield.
Here she soent the remainder o; net long.
bright useful beautiful life. At her
country home Mrs. Gill entetsin-d
lavishly for many years and until declin-
ing life forbade. Relatives and friends
came from all parts of the United States
to visit with her sometimes staying many
weeks to enjoy her company and old
time hospitality. It was a delightful
treat to hear her sprightly conversation
upon all subjects of a literary or general
nature and her fund of information and
knowledge coupled with its exactness and
her ability to quote what had been
written upon all manner of subjects was
not only large whether of former or re-
cent years but was entertaining and in-
structive so that there were no dull times
in her company. A few years she kept
abreast with the developement of our
country and was a patriot in every sense.

"2 A
As a letter writer she had "many cor
respondents and was brilliant witty and
highly interesting. Many of her friends
insisted that she should produce more
substantial tokens of her genius by writ
ing articles for the public generally but
to this she had no inclinations content
always modestly to bask in the love.
admiration and appreciation of particular
friends.
She was a conscientious and devout
believer in and follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ from her childhood uniting with
the Methodist church many years ago
and was a member of the Kumler M. E.
church at Springfield at the time of her
death. In every act she lived the true
christian woman loved by all with whom
she came in contact. Her sunny smne
and warm welcome Greeted all comers
and made them think better of them
selves and of the rest of mankind. To
her immediate family she was ever the
r-pnim of love and attraction and her
slightest wish was their law. None can
recall ever having a cross word or an
unpleasant look from her and to her
home they always turned for new impetus
and hope when the world showed dark.
A wife and mother in every true sense of
the word she leaves behind her a com
olete life of love usefulness and with
hope fulfilled her spirit has gone to the
soiiL'ht to follow in all her
life.
Her immediate family surviving are
' her children: Mrs. Mary Gill Caldwell of
Wheeling W. Va.; Mrs. Jennie V. Talbott
John W. Gill and David P. Gill of Spring
