Mary Edwards Butler.

Mrs. Mary Butler died at her
home in Greasewood Monday
night.
Mary Edith Edwards, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. S. Ed
wards of Springtown, Ark, was
born in Norwood, Mo-, Sept. %,
1882. She became member of
the Methodist church in June,
1897, and has ever led a noble
Christian life, following always
in the footsteps of the Master
whom she loved. In October,
1902, she joined the Rebekah
Lodge and till the day of her
death was one of its most loved
members. On Feb. %, 1908, she
was married to Columbus Lee
Butler and for two years was
one of the truest and noblest
wives that ever blest a home.
She came to Mayville Sept. %,
1909 and although she had lived
here less than year no one in
the whole neighborhood was
more loved and respected than
she. Mrs. Butler was a good
and beautiful woman and it is
sad that in her best days, just
we'll begun on a happy married
life, that Death should strike
her. Our hearts are filled with
sorrow when we think of the
wife her husband has lost, the
daughter who will no longer
gladden. the hearts of her par
ents, the sister whom her broth
ers and sisters will so sadly miss,
and the friend who has gone
from us. She leaves to mourn
her loss, a husband, father and
mother, three sisters, FIVE broth
ers, two of whom, d.. Edwards,
and Us. Edwards are we'll known
here, and a foster brother, John
Samples of this place. The fu-
neral sermon was preached by
Rev. A. S. Black of Fossil. The
Rebekah Lodge had charge Of the
ceremony at the cemetery.

CLUB LOSES GAME
Fossil Wins with Score
of IA to II.
PUBLIC SCHOOL ALSO LOSES
Fossil School wins Decisive
Game and series--Score
Ten to Six.

The Athletic Club team played
the third game of the series with
the Fossil team last Sunday on
the latters ground and were de-
feated by score of IA to IL.
Both teams had many errors
marked tn their credit at the end
of the game but on the other
hand redeemed themselves by
heavy hitting. At the end Of
the eighth inning the score stood
8 to 2 in favor of the local team
but an alteration between some
of the members of the Club team
and few of the bystanders as
sisted by numerous errors, re-
suited in allowing the local bal
loon to soar so high as to become
almost indistinguishable during
which time the Fossil players
crossed the plate almost at will.
These teams will play again on
the local diamond in the near
future.
The fifth and last game Of
series between the Condor and
Fossil Public School teams was
played OH the Condor diamond
on Saturday last. The Fossil
lads clinched the series and car
ried off the pennant by winning
the decisive game by a score of
10 to 6. These teams are very
evenly matched with Fossil
slightly in the lead in batting
and it was this that won the
game and the series for them.
Dams was the slab artist for the
local team and Happy" Stokes
was on the mound for Fossil.
Both of these youngsters are
twirlers of merit and give prom
ise of being in the box for their
respective towns during coming
years.

10 COMMENCEMENT
Graduating exercises
of &C. High School
THREE RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
Large Crowd In attendance
Oratlons are especially
meritorlous.

The High School commence
ment, which took place last Fri
day evening, was one of the
brilliant successes of this day
and generation, and there was
no lack of audience to witness
the workmanship wrought out
by these years of earnest endea-
vor and skillful drill. An hour
before the doors were set ajar
people were vending their way
thither, and when the allotted
time came for the door to turn
upon its hinges within twenty
minutes each seat was occupied,
and by 8:l5 o'clock standing
room was at a premium. This
large gathering is not considered
upon the ground that "a free
show draws the crowd" but
that the people realize and feel
they have an interest in the pub
lie schools, and this was but a
fair manifestatiI n of it. AS they
heheld this elimination of well
applied and judiciously directed
efforts they must certainly con-
eede that the liberal support
they have given has not been
lavished in vain and while it
does take means to maintain our
school system if it is progress
sive, it is means we'll applied,
and repays in benefits fourfold
any community and our country
in general.
In this class of three there is
not a dim star in the constella-
tion. The eatire class acquitted d
themselves with honor. The
productions were creditable, sa-
vored much of originality, and
sparkled with the richest gems
of thought.
Taken altogether this gradual
ing class of 1910 has upheld and
in fact enhanced the reputation
gained for the Gillian County
High School by preceding classes.

mitted the deed, q .32-calibre re-
volver.

himself about 2::30 on Monday
afternoon and death was evil
IDENTIFY instantaneous. Judge

sisting Of M. Fitzmaurice, Elgin

CHAPTER xv.-continued.

But now, at the very moment OF
meeting Margaret. he knew that If he
found her very angry with him, he
would simply listen to what she had
to say, make a humble apology, state
the truth coldly, and return to his
own yacht with Baraka. under her
very eyes. and in full sight of Lady
Maud and Mrs. Rushmore. Besides.
he felt tolerably sure that when Spiro
failed to carry out the young Tartar
girls murderous instructions, she
would forget all about the oath she
had sworn by the "inviolable water of
the Styx" and try to kill him with her
own hands. SO that 1t would be neces-
sary to take her away abruptly, and
even forcibly.
Before the Erinna had quite lost
her way. Logotheti had his naphtha
launch putting alongside. and he got
into it with Baraka and Spiro, and the
Lancashire Lass had barely time to
lower her ladder. while still moving
slowly. before the visitors were there.
Baraka bade Logothed go up first,
and trod daintily on the grated steps
as she followed him. The chief mate
and chief steward were waiting at the
gangway. The mate saluted; the
steward led the visitors to the mail
saloon. ushered them in and shut the
door. Spiro was left outside. of
course.
Mr.. Van Torp shook hands coldly
with Logotheti; Baraka walked direct.
" to Kralinsky. and then stood stone
still before him, gazing up steadily
into his eyes.
Neither Margaret nor Mrs. Rush
more was to be seen. Van Torp and
Logotheti both watched the other two,
looking from one face to the other.
Kralinsky, with his eye-giass In his
