ALL EYES ARE
ON hOUGHTON
The Site Of the Fifth Annual Fair Of
the Copper Country Agricultural
Association.

All eyes are on Houghton and the
great copper country fair, which
takes place in the Amphidrome next
week, beginning Tuesday, Septem-
ber 24th, and the promise is given
by the association members that this
will be the greatest fair ever held in
the northwest. The attendance this
year Also promises to be the largest
ever known in the history OF the ex-
hibition.
Aside from the usual attractions
such as fruit, stock, vegetables and
the arts and crafts OF the home,
many others of high merit have been
secured TO make the week of the fair
pleasant and profitable.
Among the specialties engaged for
the entertainment OF the public are
Nichols & Smith, trick cyclists; the
Darktown Circus, with trick mule
Jasper; Nevaor h Copeland, Jug
glers, etc.; Prince, high-diving dog;
Bonansigna, the daredevil balloon
ist, with the intermingling OF baby
shows, wedding ceremonies, and
other attractions too numerous to
mention.
1t was feared for a time by those
who have in charge the matter Of
the assembling OF exhibits that
Baraga county would not be well
represented at the exposition, but
such fears have been dispelled. Dur
ing the past week the way exhibitors
have been coming in with their pro-
ducts is very encouraging, and the
outlook now is that the old county
will go to the front with more than
its usual quota.

CALLED 70
HER REWARD
Mrs. Maria Jackson Passed Away
Saturday Evening Last At Home Of
Her Son on Bay Shore Road.

At an age which but few live to
attain, Mrs. Maria Jackson, q
pioneer resident OF LAnse, was
on Saturday evening OF last week
called to her reward, after pro-
longed illness, due to advanced
years.
Mrs. Maria Jackson was born one
hundred years ago, on April 9th,
at Norfolk, England. Her maiden
name was Maria Everett, her par
ents being OF English ancestry. At
an early age she was married to
William Jackson, who like herself
lived to ripe aye.
Deceased was the mother OF seven
teen children, ten of whom are liv
ing. One 10 England, one in Mt.
Clemens, one in Houghton, two in
Hancock, one in Alaska and four in
L'Anse.
She was one OF the early settlers
in the copper country, coming 10
Hancock shortly after the close of
the war, and later removed to l. 'Anse,
where she bad resided until her
death. At the time of her death
there we're thirty-seven grand chill
dren, forty-eight great grand chill
dren and seven great great grand
children.
That the deceased was very re-
markable woman is shown by the
fact that until the hour OF her death,
despite the pangs OF pain which
harressed her during her last hours
on earth, she retained the full power
of her mental faculties. She could
remember many incidents of her
childhood days, likewise many Of the
leading events in English and Amer
ican history of early times, and was
quite copversant on topics of nation
al importance of the present day.
She was an esteemed member of
the Methodist church the greater
part of her life, and m which she
was rendered the last sad rites. The
funeral was held Monday afternoon
and was largely attended by her
many friends aud relatives. The
remains were laid at rest in L'Anse
cemetery, in the family lot alongside
of her departed husband.

Glenn Hathaway left Friday even
ing for a two weeks visit at his
home in Vernon, Mich. He will
also visit in st. Johns.
Editor H. r. Pattengill, in Mod
orator Topics, comments thus upon
a days doings for high school
student: "No high school student
can do tip-top work and not put in
two hours per day of good solid
study out OF school; and it won t
hurt the student a whit to do the
studying. Eat good food, drink good
drinks, mostly water; take plenty Of
outdoor exercise; let the sunshine in
sleep from ten p. m. to six a. m. each
night; avoid narcotics, stimulants,
peruna, pessimists, and loafers."
