The Washington Republican Washington County Friday February 8, 1901 The deepest sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. George SMITH and family, in their great bereavement. On Jan. 29th, Emma, their lovely daughter of thirteen years, was taken from them by eath. She being their only daughter, made their loss, if possible, more painful. Then only three short days passed until their home was again visited by death, this time it was dear little Freddie who was taken. Freddie was the youngest of the children and a sweet little boy of almost eleven. These children were unusually bright, attractive and intelligent and why they were removed from our midst is beyond explanation. They will be missed, not ony by the family, but by their teacher, schoolmate and neighbors, by whom they were dearly loved. Their little bodies were laid to rest side by side in the Mt. Pleasant cemetery, adjoining the school yard where they have spent many happy hours playing with sorrowing schoolmates. A Friend. A Card of Thanks. To the neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us in the sickenss and burial of our darling children, also for the lovely floral offerings. Geo. Smith and Family.

The Washington Republican Washington County Friday February 1, 1901 The New Lighting Plant. The genius of man will soon bring the elements of nature into use, so that darkness can be obliterated and light will be produced which will almost eclipse the sun.

The day is not far distant though when liquid air will do away with gas, gasoline and electricity for lighting purposes and power. But what we started to say was, Hilton & Lobaugh, proprietors of the Hub Grocery Store had recently put in a new gasoline lighting plant, one of the latest out. The inventor of the plant is a Clifton boy, a school mate of the editor of this paper. He first put out Griffin Gas Lamp, using aseytoline, but soon discarded it and is now using gasoline. The factory is in Kansas City, Kansas. His light is now produced by the use of gasoline and oxygen, about 5 per cent gasoline and 95 per cent oxygen. The light is the best in town so far and is equal to electricity.
