Grandma Baker Dead.

Grandma Baker, one of the pioneers
of Audubon County and who settled
in Viola Township in the days of the
homesteaders when that class of peo-
pie were actual realities away back in
the early seventies and Extra was the
county seat, died at her beautiful
home in Viola Township Sunday sur
rounded by her loving and aged hus-
band and her large family. Grandma
Baker was one of those good old souls
that could not see anyone suffer if in
her power to relieve, and would do
anything in reason, day or night for
sick neighbor. Uncle Robert Baker
her husband survives her but is quite
feeble and helpless and blind. He
painfully realizes the loss of his life
long companion and mourns her de-
mise. The children willIall miss mother
when they go home and the old farm
will seem quite different to them now
she's gone. But the knowledge that
she's in better world will alleviate
those earthly sorrows.

In Memoriam

Elk County Treasurer, John B. Doak
died at his home in Audubon, Sunday
last and was laid to rest with Masonic
honors, Tuesday May, 10th. Mr..
Doak was born in Pennsylvania and
being OF progressive spirit, came to
Audubon in Its early history. For
many years he clerked for Frank
Gleason the leading grocerymap in
those days. His life and actions were
so honest in every deal he had with
fellow men that he was elected Treas
urer of Audubon County and served
the people for several terms to their
satisfaction. Several years there
after he associated himself with his
brother w. H. Doak in the butcher
business, and more recently devoting
his best efforts to the stock business.
Mr.. Doak's health began to fail about
year ago and although requested lby
friends to call medical assistance he
neglected it until to late. Justification
of the liver had done it's deadly work.
John B. Doak was truly an honest
and an upright man.

says he gave her, feeling It bis duty, but
he has never in any way interfered will

HEALTH CERTIFICATES
ONLY REQUIRED
Board Supervisors Leave Quarantlas
As heretofore.

The Board of Supervisors considered
tho question Of enforcing the permit
system OF quarantine for Leilore county
Monday and Tuesday, resulting In de-
cision to leave the matter to each city,
town and village in the copnty to regu-
late as they have been doing since the
yellow fever first appeared in New Or
leans.
This action on the part OF the Board
was right and proper. There was no
necessity for requiring both permits
and health certificates to get into Le-
nore county from non-infected points,
especially when the railroad companies
will not take anyone on their trains who
Ia not armed with health certificate,
which Ii subject to approval Of the local
health authorities.
The different communities in Lefore
county have been enforcing sensible
quarantine rules all along, and they can
be depended upon TO do so in future.

{. N. PURCELL
Made Cashier OF the Delta Bank as
Successor Of Calhoon Wilson.

On account of sickness, Calhoon Will
son has decided to leave the Delta and
has resigned the cashiership and accept
cd a position In New York.
Mr.. E. M. Purcell has been made cash
Ter of the Delta Bank, and we congratn
late that prosperous institution upon
securing his services.
Mr.. Purcell has shown himself to be one
of the best business men in the Delta.
He organized the Greenwood Grocery
Company Ave years ago, when II was
thought that Greenwood could not sup
port Wholesale house. He had the ac-
tive management of that company and
pushed it and overlooked and directed
the details. II was success from the
start because his management was ex-
eellent. As the city grew in CONNER
cial importance, the Goyer Produce
Company opened a business here and
was strong competitor to the Green
wood Grocery Company. Mr.. Purcell
was not only able to cope with this
formidable adversary, but pushed his
company's sales and pushed It's business
to that high point where permanent sue
cess was assured and consolidation
with The Goyer Company was brought
about. Mr.. Purcell was the Secretary
and Treasurer Of the new company, bn
resigned that position to go in the Del
ia Bank as cashier.
The Delta Banks prosperity, unde
the management OF Hon. g. A. Wilson
has been phenomenal, and the number o
new enterprises IL has fostered and as
sisted has done much to bring abou
the prosperity Greenwood enjoys.
We congratulate Mr.. Purcell on sc
curing 80 responsible position witt
the Delta Bank and congratulate tn
bank, its officers and stockholders IL
securing such an able and popular lieu
tenant.
