JOANNA RICHARDS CURNow

JOANNA RICHARDS CURNoW
was born at Wyota, Lafayette coun-
ty, Jan. 18th, 1912. Two years later
her parents removed to the town of
Dexter, Green county, where she
grew to womanhood. She was mar
ried May 10, 1866 to Edward Curnow.
They established their home in Min
eral Point, at once. and hers our sis
ter resided, respected and loved by
all, until she was called TO better
world. Sister Curnow was the mother
of six children, four of whom survive
namely, Eva, Edward r., Hattie and
Pearl. She leaves to mourn also
four brothers and two sisters, all
these together with her devoted hus-
band have the sympathy of large
circle of friends in the church and
the community. With multitude
there is keen sense of personal loss
in the passing of this good woman.
Mrs. Curnow was converted when
about twenty years of age. Her ex-
perience was very clear and very
happy. 1t marked the beginning of
a Christian life characterized by an
abiding trust. growing love for
Christ and his church, II beautiful
embodiment Of the gentler graces,
such MS meekness, gentleness and
humility, an influence upon Others
for good limited only by the bounds
of her acquaintanceship. She united
with the Methodist Episcopal church
in Mineral Point, June /, 1877, and
September 1894 was appointed lead
er of the class meeting at noon on
Sundays. During all these years she
has served the church with Il devo-
ton second only to that which she
gave to her own home, For several
years past she was in feeble health,
in consequence of an attack of la
grippe from which she never re-
covered, but she could not be kept
from the house of worship, often at
tending the services of the church
when unable to get ready to go with
out the assistance of her family.
The immediate cause of Mrs. Cur
now's death was blood-poisoning
which started from IA mere scratch
on the hand. The end came at ten
minutes past three on the morning
Thursday, April 3, 1901. During the
ten days of her final sickness she
was patience itself. Never COM
plant or murmur was heard to
pass her lips. The life of prayer and
communion with God which she had
led so long, did not end until life
went out. During the last day and
u half she was almost constantly in
prayer. Thus she left this world
where we walk by faith, to enter tri-
umphant, the life of perfect realiza-
ton, where we know as we are
known.
The funeral on Saturday morning
consisted of the Methodist church
services at the home, with appropri-
ate and impressive remarks by Pas
tor Tomlnson on the life and char
acter of the deceased, and the con-
ISOLATION to be drawn therefrcm to
the living. Interment was in Grace

GEO. w. SCOTT COMPANY
Will Be at the Auditorium One
Solid Week, Starting Sunday
November 30th.

This charming company of Sc
lect players made their bow to a
Franklin audience for the first time
last season. From the time of
their first appearance her volumes
of praise from our amusement
public have been accorded them.
Probably the uppermost reason
why they so quickly won their
way to the hearts of our people is
because of their originality. Their
repertoires of society dramas,
farce comedies and melodramas,
all of which are royalty plays,
bears no resemblance to any plays
you have ever seen and yet they
are just as you think they should
be, which makes you wonder why
some one else did not offer you the
same class Of attractions long ago.
Not contented with the pheno.
midal success achieved by this
company last season Mr.. Scott has
gone further in his hunt for per.
lection with the result that this
seasons cast embraces the strong.
est company of metropolitan ar
lists engaged by any one manager
in the repertoire business. The
principle added feature are, Mr..
Warren Catterlin, Mr.. Carroll
Drews, Mr.. Joe Bernard, Miss Sal.
ONE Eltinge, the distinguished
emotional actress and Miss Ida E.
Starr the charming soubrette and
world renowned buck and wing
dancers. Also The Wasnick Trio
of famous specially artists, and
Lassie Lee the juvenile prodigy,
being the most phenomenal child
artist on the American Stage. All
of the above and many more,
headed by Mr. G w Scott, is an
assurance to lovers of amusement
that a rare treat is offered them
during the engagement of this
excellent company in our city, and
it is safe to say that the opera
house will be taxed to its utmost
capacity at each and every per-
Torrance. To those who wish to
enjoy this great treat we offer this
advise, secure seats early. The
initial bill will be "a Man of the
People," Sale opened Friday,
Nov %, at usual place. Prices 15c
25c and 35c. Be sure and take in
matinee Wednesday and Saturday.

The Football Game.

Last Thursday was an ideal
day and could not have been more
acceptable for a play on the grid:
iron. The football game which
took place here between the New
Orleans Boys High School ard
the Franklin teams was witnessed
by a large crowd. Neither team
scored. The High School team
deserves much credit in prevent.
ing the Franklin team from scor.
ing, as the Franklin players aver
aged fully twenty pounds heavier
than the New Orleans team,
though what the New Orleans
boys lacked in weight they made
up in fine team work. The line up
was as follows:
High School-Ccnter, w. Davey. left

left tackle. w. Calonge. right tackle, z.

A mandamus suit was filed in
the Clerks Office Wednesday, to
compel the Sheriff of this Parish
to accept one dollar for poll tax
and issue a receipt therefor. The
Sheriff had declined to accept the
money and issue the receipt, on
the ground that in order for any
one to pay his poll tax that he
must come in person for his re-
ceipt or send the money to him
through the mails, and he would
mail the receipt to the person pay
ing the poll tax. The plaintiff in
the suit, Mr.. w. F. Young, Of
Centreville, had given to Mr.. F.
G.. Marsh, one dollar with writ
ten instructions to the Sheriff to
deliver the receipt for his poll tax
to bearer. This question is an
important one, and we hope it
will be decided by the courts atan
early date. The suit comes up
