the dead was put in fine shape. A
splendid dinner was served and a
fine sermon by Bro. O. A. Morton.
Say, why is it that on such occa-

year old kids that seem to delight
in wasting the pies and cakes and
eatables that the good ladies pre-
pare for their comfort and enjoy-
ment? Now all of you ladies say

[Its because they have never
lived in town long enough to get
real hungry. Ed.]
I am glad to report school dis-
trict no. 9 out of debt, and a policy
of $600 carried on the house and
still a small balance in the treas-
ury. So much for a special tax
and a community pulling together.

law on our statue books punishing

men.

the future of the nation.
Success to the Empire and its
