The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1889-12-28

MI .. T.. Iubbs has been Superintend-
ent OF the Sunday School for a long
time and each year has spent time and
money to make Christmas time 10Y
1ul time for all, especially the little
ones. This year the school decided to
give HIM present which would 90 to
show that his labors had been appre-
GATED II not fully rewarded, and as
result of this resolve lie was the recip-
lent of handsome SOB easy chair, and
when one looked at the happy faces
when the presentation was made, 1t
was positive proof that it is more
blessed to give than to receive, " for all
seemed to enjoy the giving more than
they did in receiving their own
presents. 1t was a fitting recognition
of the faithful religious work and
training done by Mr.. Tubbs since his
residence in Superior.
Mrs, Everson, a poor wash woman,
died in the hospital about one o'clock
Thursday morning. She was taken
with inflammation of the lungs on We'd
nesday of last week Her husband is
given over to drink and the house was
destitute OF every necessity as well
as comfort, and but two or three
persons Of the city knew she was sick
and these gained their information ac-
cidentally. On Christmas day the
poor woman was taken to the hospital
where she could have proper nursing
and care, but it was too late and she
died as stated above. She leaves two
children, the Oldest less than three and
the youngest about one year old. 1t is
a very sad case and offers good field
for charity to practice what it
| breaches. "

the newspaper business, but as we
have been favored with reasonably
good health and have got through
without making an assignment
thanks to indulgent criditors we Will
not complain but wish you all, friends
and foes, those who patrOniZe the
Times and those who go to the West
End for their printing, those who read
the paper and pay for it and occasion
ally speak good word for it, and
those who read it but do not pay for it
and then damn the editor for not get
ting up better paper,-a happy and
prosperous New Year.

! clearly defined duties he would proceed

against Mr.. Stow and the West End

/ SO it would not appear so inconsistent.
