Workmen are now excayating the

The new addition will be 40x4O with

The building will be made OF rein

The new addition will cost approxi-

The Whooley Packing plant is one
of the most valuable assets in Wa

not only a splendid institution for

Seven Skeletons Found

A special telephone message from
Mayor Williams OF Stony Point this
morning conveyed the information
that the members of the senior class
Of the Watertown high school which
graduated last evening have early
developed into archaeologists. They
are having a picnic at Stony Point
and in roofing around in the woods
and hills there in search of interest
ing antiquities and anything else.
which would add zest to the Incidents
CT the day, they discovered skull
sticking out of the side of the steep
bank about a hundred yards south OF
the rocky promontory. Nimble nm
gers, pointed-toed shoes, hatpins, hair
pins, and anything else handy with
which to dig, soon brought to light
full skeleton whether of pre-his-
toric age is unknown at this writing.
4 We have no authentic information
that. the garden Of Eden is located
anywhere around here but if it is It
would naturally be at Stony Point.
The finders believe it to be the re-
mains of red man SO we are inform
ed, and we also have reliable infor-
nation that Adam was a red man.
We are not drawing any conclusions
regarding the matter but it is re- re-
markable coincidence, and one which
arouses suspicion on the part OF all
interested parties except the deceas-
ed. The coroner has been notified and
will doubtless have a theory OF his
own to promulgate, but the Saturday
News is going to stick to the pre-his-
toric theory as long as there is a
thread to hang onto, especially in view
Of the fact that the only red man
around Stony Point Charley WdE
liams lis alive and well.
LATER 1T now seems almost Ger
4 tain that the garden Of Eden theory
will have to be abandoned, as the
diggers have already unearthed seven
4 skeletons, whereas It is assuredly
y known that there were never but Two I7
persons in the perfect garden. It ap.
pears almost conclusive that the sen
iors are having a picnic IN grave
yard, and they are certainly having
& a picnic. If the graveyard is big
enough and the members OF the class
work long enough they may each have A7 sss

To do duty unto Thee, ...... Our Father,
To whom all praise, all honor should be given;
For Thou the great God Who are in Heaven.
Thou by Thy wisdom ru st the worlds whole frame;
Forever, therefore. Halewed be Thy name;
Let nevermore delay divide from
Thy glorious grace, but let Thy Kingdom Come;
Let Thy commands opposed be by none,
But Thy good pleasure and Thy will be done,
And let our promptness to obey be even
The very In earth 'tis in Heaven
Then for souls 0 Lord, we also pray,
Thou wouldst be pleased to. Give us this day
The food of life, wherewith souls are fed,
Sufficient raiment and Is. Our daily bread;
With every needful thing do You relieve us,
And of Thy mercy pity. And forgive us
All our misdeeds for Him whom Thou didst please
To make offering for ...s.. Our tTespasses
And for much, Q Lord as we believe
That Thou wilt pardon AS we forgive
Let that love teach whereWh Thou dos acquaint us;
To pardon all Those who Trespass against us;
And though, sometimes Thou find st have forgotten
This love for Thee yet help And lead us not
Through soul or bodys want to desperation
Nor let earths gain drive Into temptation
Let not the soul Of any true believer
Fail in the time of trial But deliver,
Yea, them from the malice of the devil,
And both in life and DEATH keep ..... Us from evil,
Thus pray we, Lord, for that of Thee, from whom
This may be had For Thine is the Kingdom
This world is of Thy work, its Wondrous story,
To Thee belongs The power and the glory,
And all Thy Wondrous works have ended never
But will remain forever and Forever.
Thus poor creatures would confess again,
And thus would say eternaly Amen.
