OBITUARY.


Miss Mary Juliette Crossman died
Thursday morning about O'Clock at bor
home at 81 Main street after a Iingcr-
ing illness with heart trouble She had.
however, been able to be UP and about
the house until the day before her death.
Miss Crossman was the eldest daurhter
of the late Ransom Frederick and Mary
cole Crossman. She was born and Iived
all her life in this city. She is survived
by three sisters Miss Frances Crossman.
Mrs. w. l.. Richardson and Mrs. AUo.
White.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon at the house at 2:30 O'Clock and the
ntcrmcnt was made in the family lot
ut Lake View cemetery. The Rev. c. J.
Staples conducted the service.
Miss Crossman was one of those unset
fish women whose lives are SO larpolv
merged in others that we only know
their true worth when they leave us
She gave herself without stint or thought
of return to constant duty and service
As the oldest in n large family unusual
cares and burdens fell upon her. She
bore them with steadfast courage and
homoly good cheer, never dauntcd by
dark shadows and ready to make the
best and brightest possible out of every
happening. She had the faith of a reso-
Lutte will and the devotion of common
sense. While others talked or disputed
she was quietly and modestly doing her
work mindful of the needs and comfort
of those under her care before her own.
Her life had many hardshps but she
made light Of them. She enjoyed the
happiness of young people and the simple
old-fashioned pleasures of home and
friends. Her church was genuinely dear
to her, her seat was seldom vacant and
the service a constant source of rest and
refrcshment TO the end she kept her
sunninoss Of character and her faculties
of heart and mind The unseen life and
love have been very near her all along
the way.

SUPERIOR LOSES
T0HICH SCHOOL
Coach SOutar's Men Take IL to 0
Game With Fast Aggregation
from Central High.

The Virginia High School football
team won from the Superior Central
high school football team at Oliver
field Saturday afternoon by a score of
IL to O.
The local eleven outplayed the Gen.
trails in every department of the game
and showed superior form and speed.
The game was played before a fair
crowd on a muddy field and the VIC
tory Of Virginia was a source of much
satisfaction to the student body of
the local school, out in force to cheer
the high school to victory.
J Virginia's goal was never in dan
ger and throughout the greater part
of the game the ball was in Superior
territory. The local backs frequently
broke through the Superior line fol-
gains. Denyes led the locals in line
bucks and gained consistently. Sui.
Ivan and Gustafson frequently got
away for runs around the ends and
Stein at quarter handled the ball ir
great shape and his lodging was one
of the features.
The Superior backs could make NJ
gains on the Virginia line and were
held throughout. Eveleth comes t
this city for the next game with thu
high school.

TRAIN MUST STOP
ON ALAG AT ORR
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
Makes Order on Petition of
william Orr.

In decision couched in significant
terms directed at the lumbermen who
have opposed the granting of petit
tion of William Orr and others for
the stopping of all trains on the D.
w. & P. at Orr, the state railroad and
warehouse commission has just or
dered the D. w. & p. to stop all it's
trains ON flag at that station.
Evidence in the matter was taken
in this city by members of the COM
mission about two weeks ago and the
order was received in Virginia the
first of the week. It will be immedi-
ately complied with by the railroad
company.
Orr was not included in the towns
who made the original protest on the
service of the D. w. & P. flyer. The
new order, however, gives it the same
service as Cook, Leander and other
towns to the north and all trains will
hereafter stop at Orr on flag.
