ship, near Wolf's Corners, died of diph

besides the husband is survived by eight
children. She had been ill but a few
days, and it Is thought death was hastened
by tho loss of vitality expended in nurs

with the dread disease, it being Impossi

ture of tho malady. The bereaved hus
band and family have the sympathy of all

that could bo thought of. It is a copy of
that fascinating book entitled "Sketches
in Crude Oil," by one of the oil region's
most pleasing and versatile pioneer jour-
alists and writers, J. J. McLaurin. The
work contains over four hundred pages
of intensely Interestiug matter relating
to the earlier history of the oil business,
It is a dangerous book for the busy man,
for no matter where ho opens Its pages
for a mere peep, he U sure to forget all
other work and find himself "heels over
head" in tho work of trying to devour
the whole book ut once. The illustra
tions and portraits are profuse and very
lifelike. A copy can bo had by address
ing the author, Hurriuburg, Pa., and re
mitting the trilling sum of $2.00. Aguin
we very heartily thank Mr. McLaurin
for his valuablo gift.
