christian woman was of exalted and
helpful nature.
Mrs. Fox is survived by three chill
dren-the son in Dawson and a son

feel the stress of the separation from
her.

LAND GAVE GARDEN PRIZES
Boys and Girls Compete and Grow
Some Remarkably Fine Vege-
tables. The Winners.

AAO ~
About two months ago the agri-
cultural department at WASHINGTON
sent to the Dawson public school
BOARD lot of garden seed. which
were turned over to Superintendent
r. 4. Land for distribution among
the children and families of the
town. To enlist some interest in
planting and gardening the superin-
tendent offered three prizes as fol-
lows: To the boy or girl making
the best showing on a space of ten
feet by 20 feet with the seed given,
$500; for the next best, $500, and
for the third $1.0O.
Some of the children manifested
quite lively interest. About twen-
" were in the contest at the begin
ming, but after the depredations of
COWS and chickens the contest mar
rowed down to the following:
Fourth Grade-Phelps Fox, Char
lie Ward, Mansfield Jennings, Ella
Rumney, Pierre Rostello, Arthur
Hamilton.
Fifth Grade-Edgar Chambliss,
Walter Mercer.
Sixth Grade-William Mercer,
| Robert Stewart, Julian Methvin, Ella
Langston, Annie Mathis.
Seventh Grade-Carver Fox, Ruby
Jennings.
The results as seen in the little
gardens, grown by these boys and
girls show what a boy or girl can
do when they put forth the right
kind of efforts.
The prize winners were: Will
liam Mercer, first prize; Walter Mer.
Ger, second prize; Phelps Fox, thirc
prize.
Some of these gardens are equa
in beauty to flower beds, and are {
sight well worth the trouble of go
ing to see.
