WEST BRATTLEB0R0
Death Of Miss Abigail Dunklee.

Miss Abigail NJ Dunklee passed awey
Tuesday morning, Dec. u, in the home
of her niece Mrs. Herbert Bidwell, in
West Swanzey, N. II. Miss Dunklee
was the daughter of Edward T. and ABB
igail (Gould) Dunklee She was born
Oct. 10, 1919, and lived early in life
with her parents on the Dunklee farm
which has been in the DunlSlee family
five generations. This place had been
her home all her life until last May,
when she sold her part of the farm to
her nephews, Hugh II. and Albert G.
Dunklee, and went to live with her
niece. Her health seemed to be failing
several months previous to her death
and she suffered much from a severe
heart trouble which continued to grow
worse until the end came.
A telegram was received Sunday tell
ing of her failing condition. Mrs. E. c.
Dunklee and son, Albert G.. Dunklee,
went to Swanzey Monday and Mrs.
Dunklee remained until after her death.
Miss Dunklee received her educational
training in the schools of this town and
at Leland and Gray seminary in Towns
bend. She is the last of her fathers
family, having buried one brother in
childhood and one half sister several
years ago and her brother, E. c.
Dunklee, in February, 1910.
Miss Dunklee was faithful member
of the First Congregational church in
this place. Early in life she sustained
an injury to her hip by being thrown
from a wagon, from which she never re-
covered, always suffering from severe
lameness ) But Notwithstanding this
great affliction she preserved bright
CHEEKY disposition and a kind, sympa-
thetic nature, which made her pleas
and friend and companion.
For the past two years Miss Dunklee
had been engaged upon the genealogy
of the Dunklee family and getting ma
terial ready for publication. This was
practically her last work and she was
unable to complete it.
She is survived by four nephews and
one niece, Robert c., Hugh H., and AL
bert G.. Dunklee of this town, John
Townshend of Fitchburg and Mrs. Abbie
Bidwell of West Swanzey, n. II. The
funeral was held in the Congregational
church Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock
Rev. Roy NJ. Houghton officiated. The
bearers were the four nephews. The
burial took place in the family lot in

use TO rub or apply a plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for a
new and stronger one. Palatka residents
would do well to profit by the following

Hymn.
Prayer is the souls sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpreSsed;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembleS in the breast.
Prayer.
o, Thou that did'st teach Thy dis
ciples how TO pray, as John taught
his, also, give us grace TO redeem Suf-
ficient time from toll to sit at Thy
feet in the school of prayer. May
we learn of Thee, and pray TO Thee.
For Thy names sake. Amen.
Text.
80, Lord, in the morning will |
direct my prayer unto Thee" Ps.
5:3.
Has prayer any place in your life?
In way, everybody, even the pro-
fame swearer, prays. But, conscious
ly and devotionally, do you pray?
And do you really pray as Jesus, "be-
ing in an agony" prayed1 Or do
you just SAY" prayers1 There may
be vast difference.
Then do you give your prayer di-
rection? Ii should have that. The
child sends his request straight to his
parent. The citizen sends his petit
ton for redress directly TO the power
in whose hands lies the province OF
redress. Too many prayers get no
whittier because directed thither. A
prayer, like letter, needs direction.
And to whom should it go? Even
the ignorant heather has logical
sense enough to direct his cry unto
his god. The prayer must 60. TO the
One from whom the implored favor
is expected. Each believer, as a
priest, has access into the hottest
place of all by the blood of Jesus,
and may there make known his re-
quests unto God, direct.
OF course, we should "pray with
out ceasing." But we shall the better
pray without ceasing" by praying
in stated seasons. SIN the morning"
while the sense of new favorS is
fresh, the spirit exuberant and the
mind clear of carking careS-''in the
morning direct your prayer unto
God, unto whom all flesh shall
come. And He shall give thee good. "

The people of Tampa were very
much shocked at the verdict of the jury
in the John Lucas case. The Tampa
Tribune of last Saturday morning says
in part:
ga wave of genuine indignation swept
over the city yesterday when ii was
learned that John Lucas had been &C
quilted by the jury trying the case. The
verdict was so utterly at variance with
the sworn testimony and the aCquittal OF
the man such a conspicuous instance OF
miscarriage of justice that the communi-
ty was shocked into expressions which,
under less serious provocation, might
have been characterized as an outburSl
of defiance to due processes of law.
Never has a prisoner faced the bar
of a court in this county or, perhaps, in
this state, against whom such story OF
utter depravity, constituencies maligni-
ty and malevolent character has been
told from the lips of sworn witnesses;
involving the commission of crime
which il not only abaSheS the average
comprehension to contemplate, which
strikes al the very foundation OF human
society and the SanCtity of the family
relation and the ties of ConSanguinity,
but also the revelation of beStial nature
which finds still other vents for its
manifestations, this trial stands alone in
its cnormity in the criminal annals OF
our state. And, despite the fact that the
charges were supported by the stories OF
actual witnesses, in words which were
literally wrung from the bleeding hearts
of outraged wife and defiled daughter,
this jury accepted the mere denial OF the
prisoner himself and gave him verdict
of not guilty and 4 certificate OF good
and unSullied character!
The thoughtful person cannot won
der, in the face of such verdictS as this,
that mob law rearS its hideous head so
often in our most enlightened commu.
mites and sets itself up against that other
law in the name of which such outrageS
are committed"

The bill granting statehood to New

has been for many years the dream

passed by the senate-53 to 1S-after
rejection to the Nelson amendment
which proposed striking out of the
Arizona constitution its judiciary re-

The bill as passed by the senate diff

oontended all along that he would be
glad to sign the statehood bill if the
Nelson amendment prevailed, but that
1t was grave question whether he
would be willing to sign it II the
amendment were defeated, as 1t was
by 43 to 26. The Indications are that
the bill will become law without his
signature.
The Nelson Amendment.
Practically all of the debate on the
bill centered around the Nelson
amendment. Even some senators who
declared their opposition to the recall
Of judges voted against the amend
ment on the ground that If the people
Of Arizona desired recall as part OF
their system of government it was for
them and not for congress whether
they should have it.
The bill as passed compels Arizona
as a condition precedent to entry into
the union to submit the recall PROPOSE

as to whether 1t shall remain in their
constitution. New Mexico must vote
on proposition embodied in the bill
which would make the constitution OF
the state easier of amendment.
