Mrs. Dwight Abbott Died Tuesday Even
ing as Result of a Shock.


The death of Mrs. Dwight Abbott
who for years has been with her sister
Mrs. G. NJ Howard, occurred at five
o'clock Tuesday. Mrs. Abbott suffered a
shock several years ago, which rendered
her nearly helpless, but up to Sunday
! she had been well, when she began to
fail and her strength went rapidly. Mrs.
Abbott retained her consciousness and
mind to a marked degree and understood
her condition, but the future was not
feared by her. A private funeral service
was held today and interment was in
Southview cemetery, beside her hus-
band who died several years ago. Mrs.
Howard, her sister, is also very low, and
there is little encouragement in her case.

which has for many years been used by
the high school as an athletic field. The
writings have not yet been made, but it
is thought that the bargain is completed.

Noble Ninepins.

There once were nine noble ninepin men
Who stood up sturdy In row.
They were ready TO fall dead with their
captain at the head,
Only awaiting ball or so.
And the captain of all these valiant men
Was the proudest of all the tenpin town.
With rumble. tumble and roll
Came the ball and knocked him down.
And then the nine noble ninepin men
Who stood up sturdy in a row
Had to fail all a-sprawi though they nev-
er feft the ball.
Because the captain pushed them so.
