 WASHINGTON. THE COMMUNITY MOURNS.
 The news of the deaths on Monday morning of Wilbur Kilborn and Mrs Earle Booth came as great shock to the community. Both will be greatly missed and both are much needed, MT Kilborn leaving three little girls and one boy, and Mrs Booth leaving five girls and onesboy
 The funeral of MT Kilborn was a private one on Tuesday afternoon at 3 30, owing to the nature of the dis ease with which he died, which makes it doubly sad. The floral tributes cov- ering the grave were beautiful, among them being large clusters of white and pink roses from the High school pupils, a large bunch of beautiful Easter lil- lies from Burr Hollister, cross and lovely flowers from his own family and parents. At some time in the near fu- ture memorial services will be held. MT KilbOrn was one who was inter- ested in all work of a progressive ing in the High school. his recom- pense being the satisfaction of watch ing the development of talent in his pupils, and being an artist himself he obtained excellent results in his class. In the church, Sunday school, commu- nifty and home his loss will be greatly felt. Il M. l.. T.
