\\ t. Sims llatl S|m-iiI Nearly Hull'
Century In Collin County.
Mr W. T. Sims died at his home In
the east part of town Saturday night
at S:30 o'clock, after an Illness of
ihort duration.
William T. Sluts was born in Ken-
tucky, Aug. 8th, is is, lie was the
son of Ellsliu and Elizabeth Sims, und
was nearly sixty-seven years of age at
his death. From Kentucky ho moved
to Missouri with his parents, and lut-
r with them came to Texas, stopping
at FrmersvHIe in 186a. From there
lie moved to the Cottonwood coinu-
nlty, south of Wylle. This was in
1 Still, and during the year 1 809 he
was married to Miss Sarah Belle
Scaggs, und to them were born ten
children. lb- settled, after his mar-
riage, on what Is known as the Sims
old home place, near Cottonwood.
Here lie resided until a few years ago.
when he moved to Wylle, where lie
resided Continuously until his death.
lie is survived by a wife and sev-
en children and four sisters, as fol-
lows: Mrs. W. T. Spence, of Kowlett;
Mrs. I. L. Maxwell and G. I,. Sims, of
Wylle; E. P. and J. F. Sims, of Chll-
lleothe; R. W. and W. C. Sims, of Cle-
burne. His sisters are, Mrs. K. K Mc-
Carty, of Humble; Mrs. J. R. Faulk-
ner, of Quatiah; Mrs. Alex Walker, of

first wife, who was the mother of his
children, Mrs. I. L. Maxwell, who was
at the death of her mother a young
girl, took charge of the home affairs
and with the assistance of her father
reared the children, who have all
grown to be worthy citizens.
Mr Sims, before he reached the
age of twenty years, joined the Firm
Foundation or non-progressive Christ
inn Church, of which he, was a con-
sistent member, and devoted himself
to the support and maintenance of
this cause. Hi was a tuan worthy e>f
the good name he bore and had the
confidence and respect of all who
knew him. He lived an unpreten-
tious life, lb- abstained from what
he knew to be wrong and did only
that which he knew was good for his
family and himself. He was a liberal
man, contributing always to those
whom he deemed worthy of help lie
was whole-souled In the worship of
his Master and was faithful to his
friends and from his door no one mat
was worthy to enter was ever turned
iway. His conversation was chaste

speiikiiU' of the excitement hi that
county Incident to the finding of uu
oil saiul anil gas in a test Well being
sunk by the "Public spirited citizens
of thai I omit v ', miles east of llentoil
at lie depth of a4 feet," calls to
mind the result of an effort made
some months ago by J. T Hell, of tills
cit> lo luive .i 2 Inch boll.- bored to the
depth ol 20 feet contiguous to thl
spring, on 11i•- place northeast of Mc-
Klnii. \ The work was interrupted
and after many unsuccessful efforts
to go deeper was finally abandoned ut
10 feet, by reason of the fact thut a
sugar colored oil sunil, eir u very soft
011 bearing sandstone was encount-
el-eil, and tin- cutting of the bit would
not adhere lo the auger, and clogged
ihe hole iii such a manner as to tuake
t ut her progress Impossible. The sand
was found, upon close investigation
in presence of many practical and
substantia! Mtlzenu, to be saturated
with a very light oil, and contains a
goodly amount of coal, finely cut by
the tilt. The water from the spring
close to where the hole was sunk, is
said by Ihe I'nlted States Geological
Survey, to contain Sulphureted hy-
drogen. that usually accompanies oil,
This was submitted to the director of
the I" ii 11 til States Coast Survey, for
f iirl her Investigution.
The seepage of oil. and gas upon
tliis land is of such common occur-
rence, It excited but a passing notice
at the time. No further effort has
been made to develop It since.

itors I ily Coul'ier-GilZi'tlo mid Week-
ly I iciuocrat-Guzi-t It-: We are so deep-
ly interested in the success of the far-
mers that we cannot (-online our Idea
and plans to a single locality, but feel
it our duly to aid the entire Southern
States by giiing such plans that will
make farmers snccesful on tliotr re-
spective farms by Ihe only practical
and plausible route, "Diversification."
In the hope that it will aid others 1
will gin a few plans adopted by the
farmers in tills county. Last your the
acreage in wheat in tliis county was
not noticeable, but at this time by the
best figures obtainable, there are four
thousand acres, now growing und in
fine condition, and the growers are
estimating on a twenty bushel per
acre yield, and $1.2" per ousliel. Fif-
teen thousand oeres of oats are being
sown where only a few thousand were
formerly sown, and the growers are
estimating a forty bushel yield per
acre, and a price of thirty-five cents.
Tin y are also sowing other early feed
crops, and preparing corn lands with
ri considerable Increased acreage.
Roth the farmers and seed dealers
are making a special feature of good
seed, as all have agreed that good
seed Is one of the chief factors, both
as to quality and quantity, and that
too much care cannot be taken In
their selection.
Gardens are being looked after In
a way us never before, the fanners
buying realized the fact thut a good
assorted garden, well cultivated, will
cut the credit grocer bill more than
half in two. Also, they are looking
more to the raising of hogs from
many to a few, for their oyvn use, and
some meats to sell for ready cash at
such times as they must have it Also,
they ore becoming convinced as to
the great value of poultry on the
farm and the little expense of main-
taining poultry, as poultry can live
on the barn-yard waste. Milk cows
are being more carefully cared for, as
their value by the farmer lias become
more apparent, both for milk, and
one to sell on the market at such
time as a little ready cash Is helpful.
We feci like the following Instance
of one farmer, If practiced by all of
(lie farmers In the Southern States,
would bring Independence In a way
that It could not come by any other,
and by the quickest possible route.
This farmer sold on the streets of this
city this week 21 home ciired-hams at
17 1-2 cents per pound, and stated
that, he killed 38 hogs, had a good
supply of meat and lard for his fami-
ly, and to sell on the mnrkefr as It
suited him. This plan practiced by
all of the farmers, Including diversi-
fication of the various crops, adding
poultry and a few milk cows will
so've all of the problems that con-
front. the farmers, and solve them
right, and for good.

ltl lt'\lj ( RKIHTS Kll.l,
Washington, Feb. 1 0.—A gi nernl
Rural Credits Hill, using farm first
mortgages as the basis and loans di-
rect to the farmer, but not dealing
with personal credits, was Introduced
b\ Hepresentatlvo Robert L. Henry of
Ti mis. It creates a Kurenil of Farm
Credits In the Department of Agricul-
ture, and managed by a. farm credits
board, which Is unalogiis to the
Ship Purchase Hill. Tills Is to be com-
posed of nine members, the Secretary
of the Tre asury, Secretary of Agricul-
ture und Postmaster General and six
to be named by the President. Two
of these shall bo practical farmers,
tyvn men of experelonce In the mort-
gage loan business anil two to he se-
lected by the President without re-
gard to qualifications. The borrow-
ing farmer must either own the land
or have purchuseil It for the purpose
of Improving.
Limns may run from five to fifty
years, the maximum Interest, rule be-
ing -i 1-2 per cent. The minimum
loan may be $H00 and the maximum
11 5,ooa. Preference is to lie given to
loans ranging from $300 to $7,000.
The direct government aid feature
of the bill probably will not receive
support from the White House In view
of i ho President's past, utterances on
the subject. Mr. Henry proposes to
create a fund ranging from $200,000,
000 to $2110,000,000 in one of three
ways. The Government may Issue
bonds, Hie Secretary of the Treasury
may sell not to exceed $200,000,000 of
Panama. Canal bonds, the Interest
rate of which Is lo be advanced for
this purpose from 2 ami 3 per cent to
3 1-2 per cent Interest, and the third
proposed method Is for the Govern-
ment to Issue I'nlted States notes to
the amount of $2a0,000,000 redeem-
able In gold. An Intention of the hill
is to place the credit of the Govern-
uent directly behind the rural credit
plan, similar to the plan of tin- Cnr-
rcney Ai t and the Ship Purchase lllll.
Tin plan has no connection with the
