At The Christian Church.

Inc annual election of officers of
the church took place last Lord S
day. The weather was very severe,
but good sized audience gathered
, to hear the morning sermon and to
participate in the selection of the
Official board for the coming year.
The following members will compose
the official board for the coming
year: Elders, J. NJ. Caster, J. NJ.
Chastain, William Mckay, Julian r.
Harris, ]. w. Scott, John Woodman-
see, sen. The Deacons are, D. G.
Cannon, A. NJ. Caster, DR.. J. O.
oodmansee. Harl Williamson, Geo.
Gardner and Willard Gardner. The
Deaconesses are, Mrs. Anna Curry,
Mrs. J. NJ. Caster and Mrs. l.. Van
Nostrand. Secretary, J. T. Harris
Assistant Secretary, Eva Rhea;
Treasurer, A. NJ. Caster.
The matter of selecting a pastor
was the next thing in order. The
present pastor made a few remarks,
after which he retired and his prop
,, Oslt1on was read before the church
by the secretary. The church &C
cepted the proposition and extended
the call to Rev. Coffin for another
year. His third year will begin the
first of March.
The church has made much pro-
gress in the last two years. Under
the efficient leadership of the Bible
School Superintendent, Mrs. Curry
in 1910, and J. NJ Chastain, assisted
by William Mckay in 1911, the
school has more than doubled it's
general attendance. The school u.s.
ually numbers from 40 to 1865, and
the average for the year, including
all the stormy Sundays was a littl :
above 131. The church attendance
has also practically doubled during
that time. With the aid of the meet
ing last winter the membership has
been greatly increased.
Recently the basement has been
plastered and ceiling ordered, which
will soon be put on. The kitchen
was also moved from the west end
OF the south room to place Just
west Of the furnace which had been
prepared, a door and stairway made
on the west side, leading to the base
ment so as to make it more conven-
lent for the kitchen. When the work
is completed, which it is hoped will
be done shortly, the Christian church
will have one of the best and neatest
dining rooms in the city and will be
we'll equipped to take care of the
social functions of the congregation.
Some other improvements are being
considered for the coming year. If
you are not attending church other
places an invitation lis extended to
worship here. The policy will be to
oppose sin in all its forms both in
and out of the church. The motto
will be more Disciples and better
Christians"

THE LEON REPORTER, THURSDAY, JANUARY II, 1912

Iowa has more boys in the public
schools than girls. During the year
ending June 80, 1911, there were
339,319 male students between the
ages of and FL years enrolled in
the public school of the state, while
there were only 332,792 female stu
dents. These figures are taken from
the annual reports of the county
superintendents. According to the
reports there are 27,149 teachers
employed. OF this number, 1850
are men and 24,589 women. The
average salary paid to the school
ma ans is $48.14, while the average
compensation of their brothers en-
gagged in school work for the state is
1923. The average daily attend
ance during the year was 361, 100.
The average enrolment for each of
the ninety-nine counties of the state
was 6,7S7.6. There are 1901
school houses in Iowa, of total val
uation of $29,111,646. In the IL
braries of the schools there are
1,12S,968 volumes. Although the
laws of the state provide that all
children between the ages of Z and
IA years shall attend the public
schools, the report shows that 5,726
children between the ages fixed by
law who should be attending school
are not. In every county are some
children out of school in violation of
the law.

Francis NJ. Starr.

The people of this community
were again shocked on Sunday morn
ing when the sad news went forth
that one of our most prominent and
highly esteemed citizens had passed
away at about five o'clock that morn
ing.
Mr.. Starr had not been in good
health for some months, having had
slight stroke Of paralysis last sum-
mer, but had been around and had
been at the office doing his work as
usual up to the day before his death.
Francis M. Starr was born near
Claysville, Ohio, August Is, 1916,
and died at his home in Pocahontas,
Iowa. December 81, 1911, at the age
of SIS years, months and 16 days.
His youth and early manhood were
spent at the old home in Ohio, and
on March "a, 1870, he was married
to Susan M. Callihan. During his
early life he taught school and after
ward engaged in farming. He came
to Iowa in 1882, locating on a farm
in Guthrie county, in 1884 coming to
Pocahontas settling on a small farm,
now within the incorporation of Po-
cahontas where he has ever since
made his home. For few years
after he came here he was engaged
in farming but in 1891 he was ap-
pointed deputy sheriff and since that
time there has been but few years
that he has not been in an official
capacity at the court house, serving
as deputy county clerk under F. H.
Plumb and P. M. Beers, in 1908 be-
ing elected by the people to the re-
sponsible position as clerk of the
courts. Frank Starr was a splendid
official, pleasant, courteous and
obliging to all and the records of his
office were always kept neat, correct
and up to date. His familiar face
will be greatly missed by those who
have business in the county clerks
office.
Mr.. and Mrs. Starr were the par
ents of nine children, one passing
away about two months after they
came to Pocahontas. Those living
are: Will c., of Leon; Fred H., of
Fargo, N. D.; Perry c., of Oberon,
N. D.; Warren D., of Edgeley, N. D.;
Ms. Julia B. Nelson, Albert, Ralph
and Marion. All of the children were
able to be present at their fathers
funeral
The services were largely attend
ed and held Wednesday afternoon
at the Christian church, being con-
Quoted by Rev. S. T. Grove of Plover,
an old and very close friend of the
family, who spoke words of consola-
ton to the bereaved ones. Rev.
Grove was assisted by Rev. D. M.
Simpson. Mr.. Starr was converted
at the age of fifteen and had always
lived faithful and consistent life
being all active member in the Chris
tian church.
For forty-seven years he had been
a member of the Masonic order, the
local lodge having charge of the SER
vices at the grave
In common with the people of Po-
cahontas, the Record extends to the
