The death of Mr. Charles A. Knut-

aa a profound shock to the community.
Mr. Knutson n<ende<l both church

morntag. He lingered through Mon-
day and Tuesday and diwl at one
o’clock Wednesday morning without
recovering consciousness.

navian by birth and was born'ln 1854.1

ed in a imthing suit, his skin clear and
white and every muscle in play. And
the first statement he pa"<le was "To
, J» an athlete, first be a gentleman of
clean living and good morals.’'
He decried the statement that so
many boys think all tbe athletes come
from the cltiea. Prefacing his state-
ments with the quotation “God made
the country and man made the town,"
he said God knew his business best
and that the beet athletes and the
beat business men came from the coun-
try; that he was born on a farm in
Williamson county and that he started
bls career chopping cord wood. But
