The funeral services were held at Bur-

The deceased was an exemplary!young

School Closed.

Uuion Ridge school closed February
9TH with grand exhibition. The pro-
gram almost exclusively the work of the
children, was we'll recited and arranged.
consisting of songs, declama tons, dia-
logs and flag exercise. No one could
witness such a program without being
impressed with its educational value, to-
say nothing of its direct bearing on the,
emotions and consequently on the
morals of the children. Much of the
work done by the children was of
difficult nature and was accomplished
by them in a manner that not only
amazed the audience but a delightful
evidence of the efficiency of Miss Farnes,
methods and wonderful control which
she possesses over the children. The
audience was an enthusiastic one and
gave applause to the children who GER
tainly deserved this appreciation. Per-
feet order prevailed throughout the
program. Mr.. Ezekiel Merryman played
the violin and Miss Laura Housh pre-
sided at the organ. After the program
was carried out addresses were made bv
Squire Cox, Andrew Sell, Mr.. Ellis and
MIR. Reynolds, all of which spoke highly
OF the efficiency of the teacher who has
been in. their employ for two years.

Clarence Frost Suicides.

Clarence Frost, the Is year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Willis Frost committed sui
eide Monday evening at the home of Jas
per Record 81 miles north of Leon where
he was working, the rash act being sup
posed to have been committed on ac-
count Of love affair. He visited over
Sunday at the home Of his parents two
miles southeast of Leon, and came to
town Monday and requested Al. Hum.
phrey to buy ten grains OF strychnine for
him, saying Mr.. Record wanted HIM to
get it to kill some skunks, and as he was
not of age he could not buy it. Mr..
Humphrey purchased the drug at Van
Werden's store and gave it to Clarence
who went to Mr.. Records farm and
worked all afternoon putting up ice. He
quit work early to do the chores, and
after finishing them went into the house
and played a few minutes with the little
girl and then told Mrs. Record he was
sick and asked her to get him a quilt so
he could lie down by the stove. In a
few minutes he had spasm and Mrs.
Record called her husband, who saw he
was very sick, and came at once to Leon
for help. Drs. McAllaster and Layton
went out but the boy was dead before
they reached the house, having died in a
spasm, with every indication of poison.
The empty strychnine bottle was found
in his pocket, and he had evidently
taken all the contents, ten grains. The
deceased was an exemplary young man,
and no one ever suspected he would take
his life, and no cause can be assigned ex.
cept disappointment in love affair.
The funeral will be held from the home
of his parents to-day.

Miss Kennon and to their union were
born three children, two of which Mrs.

Clyde Creighton, of Chicago, and Mrs.
Maude Delk, of Burlington. Mrs. Creigh-
ton died in this city in 1888.
In 1856 he moved from Ohio to Clarke
county settling near Smyrna and later
moved to Osceola where he engaged in
the stock business. He came to Leon ~
years ago and for many years was the
leading stock buyer of this county and
gained an enviable reputation for his
honest and upright dealing. About five
years ago he retired from business since
which time he had made his home prin-
cipally with his daughter Mrs. Wilson at
Fredonia. No man ever lived in Decatur
county who had more or dearer friends
than Uncle Billy Creighton for he was
surely Ia noble man who carried his
toughest side on the outside. A good man
has gone to his reward at a ripe old age.
Funeral services were held at Fredonia,
on Friday, his remains being brought to
Leon Saturday afternoon and laid to rest
by the side of his wife in the Leon GENE
