After a lingering illness of several
weeks, Mrs. Dan Price passed away

sorrow in the past few years, two
daughters and now the mother
being called to the great beyond.
Mr.. Price received word yesterday
from his brother, Warren, residing
in New York that he, too, had lost
his wife on Saturday.
A husband, son Byron, daughter
Mrs. Will Benn and a little grand
son directly mourn demise OF this
good woman, a more extended
obituary of whom will appear later.
Funeral obsequies were held FROM
the home yesterday, Revs. MOrgans
and Hannaford officiating.

He is a firm believer in and an
ardent worker for the common
school as great and potent factor
in the education of the masses.
He favors a closer supervision Of
the country schools and stands for
a firm and impartial administration.
This he halls as q safe guard to the
educational rights of the country
child.

Boyes-Rucker Nuptials.

The following account Of the
marriage of Miss Addie Boyes Of
this city to Geo. Rucker is taken
from the Daily Sentinel of Grand
Junction, COL:
''At the home that the groom has
elegantly furnished at 260 Chipeta
avenue, Mr.. George Rucker and
Miss Addie Boyes were united III
marriage at the hour of eight o'clock
last evening in the presence OF only
a few relatives. Rev. d. d. Forsyth,
of the Methodist church, was the
officiating clergyman.
Miss Boyes is we'll known IN the
city. She is a sister Of Mr.. Allen
Boyes, of the Wells Fargo express
company's offices, who is one OF the
well known young men of the city.
Her home is in Lancaster, Wiscon-
sin. She spent about eighteen
months In this city with her
brother, returning to her home in
the east about two years ago. About
one week ago she returned to
Grand junction to be married to
Mr.. Rucker whom she met during
her previous visit to the city. She
has many warm friends among the
young people of the city. She is q
most attractive young lazy.
Mr.. Rucker is an engineer on the
Rio Grande Western and is held IN
high esteem by his fellow employees.
He is young gentleman of excellent
character.
Mr.. Rucker and his bride have re-
ceived many congratulations ana
best wishes today from numerous
friends interested in their happi
ness
The Herald adds its congratula-
tons, as we'll as those Of everyone
of the brides numerous friends in
Lancaster, to this happy consum-
nation.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-01-30

Our citizens deserve credit for
the pride they take in our schools.
We venture the assertion that not a
student ever went forth from our
little city, but went away with the
best wishes of our people; they gave
him encouragement during school
life and when he departed took him
by the hand and said, God speed
thee" Not one who has finished
the course in our schools, wherever
he may now be, bus wishes our
town and her people well, for it was
among our Christian people, sur
rounded by an influence that was
elevating and noble, animated by
the splendid example Of our citizens
that he received the foundation
which makes him today the upright
citizen in any community il which
he may live.
There should be no factions"
in this little city Of ours. Every
improvement made enhances the
value of all property in and sur
rounding our town. We should live
as one big family, and we believe
few towns can show up more pro
gress1ve and intellectual family.
We have as few black sheep in
our place as any flock in the state
When there is discord in the family
there is little progress. When there
is united pull there is little We
cannot accomplish. Envy, jealousy
and hatred pull us all down. Envy
IS a canker that gnaws at the heart
and makes one sour, disgruntled
and unhappy. Jealousy makes one
unfair in passing judgment; ha-
tired does not pay even from 2
sordid point of view. Let rs oil be
friends and pull together and show
our neighbors what a large and
harmonious family can accomplish
in building UP a town.

SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
Our schools are running along in
highly satisfactory way. School
board, teachers and pupils are all
working in an reflective and harmOni-
Gus manner. The pupils are having
more recreation than usual this
winter, principally on account OF
the commOdious gymnasium, which
Lincoln Abraham arranged for their
convenience. This week Friday the
pupils of the Ontario school come
to play our pupils game of basket
ball. Some rare sport is expected.
The enlarged scope of the course OF
study and increased attendance OF
tuition pupils raises the question OF
adding another teacher to the force
next year. This would increase the
regular yearly expense about $500
per year, and preparation of room
would cost about $500. This az
ditional cost would increase the
efficiency of our school 100 per
cent. Our schools have been con
Quoted very economically, cost OF
maintenance being about 81, 200 to
"a, 500 per year, of which IS, 600 Is
raised by local taxation. OF the
balance 5000 is paid by tuition pupils.
A first class high school, such as
now is under way will make itself
strongly felt in the town aud com
munity. 1t will be one of the
strongest agencies in maintaining q
lively, wide-awake town.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-01-30

What is the matter with the
people Of our town getting together
In past years that was one Of the
strong factors, but Of late there has
been too much dissen ION, too much
silent knocking. Let us cut out
that kind Of business. A town, like
a house, divided against itself must
fall. It viii make tbs al feel better
to work together.
Calendars are unusually scarce
this year. Tor many years they
were considered almost as belong
/ ing to insurance companies; but, as
others took them up as desirable
advertising many Of the companies
ceased sending them out. Losses
of 1906, with the great San Francisco
fire, made such heavy inroads on IN
surance su pulses that nearly all
companies reduced expenses in all
possible ways. AS a consequence
there is almost a calendar famine
in some towns.
While doing some shopping in
one Of our grocery stores last even
ing we CHANGED to hear little boy
ask his father who that man vas
buying the beans. THAT is our
editor, said the father. What
