On Sunday, while driving south
from lola, Mr.. Theo. Shanafelt
found the body of an old man. The
condition showed that the man had
died more than a week before,
Sheriff Stephens being notified came
and with Judge Rogers made an in
yestigation. No dent / fication
marks being found, the body was
buried where it was found.
The fine weather added to the in
terest the children feel in the new
school year makes school days just
too nice for anything.
Talking about bumper crops. Mr..
H. l.. Lucas certainly has one, 1t
was to be expected from his perse-
verance and we certainly congrat-
ulate him.
Our community was intensely
shocked at the death of Mr.. Fred
Fordon. To those who had often
spoken of his quiet even tempered
manner, it was well nigh unbeliev'
able. In the fourteen months of his
life here, he had shown himself every
ready to do a kindness and had
greatly endeared himself to children
of whom we say They are good
judges of human nature" Their
sorrow on losing their friend is a
beautiful tribute to the man.
Death is always sad, but coming
as this it is inexpressably so and We
can only pray. that the God who
sees and knows all things, viii
comfort the sorrowing relatives and
friends.
