SAUk CITY IS
UNDERGOING CHANCE

superintendent MI. Il. Buckley of
the Sank City schools spoke at the
Congregational church Sunday nig1t
on the subject of Community Life.
Sank City has undergone a great
awakening during the past two years
and last month the greatest social GEN.
ter event ever held in a sma ali town in
Wisconsin was enjoyed In that village.
Mr.. Buckley saw that great work
could be done and with some valuable
aids has turned night into day.
AT the onset those interested realized
that there are problem in every COM
munity with which the laws are not
able to cope. In Sank City as else
where, the. older boys were teaching
the younger ones to smoke cigaretts
and to take strong drink. There
were other things which did not
develop propera manhood and the
parents with others joined in harmony
for the greater good. Prejudice was
laid aside and those who were not
included to help the com immunity have
become the best workers. Mr.. Buckley
says that money is not so much
needed as earnest work. No chastise-
ment, but tact and sincerity will do
the work.
In referring to the recent meeting
in Sank City Mr.. Buckley said many
did not believe that crowd could be
gathered at such meeting. 1t was
educational as we'll as one for amuse'
ment. The result was that about 800
farmers gathered every day, and in the
department where domestic science was
taught there were 200 women present,
the full capacity of the room. Such
entertainment as the June picnic,
which has been the custom of that
locality, fcr so many years, was drop
ped last year. 1t died hard, Hut when
it was realized that Wisconsin has
law against such things, it was not
hard to pass up the annual Sunday
event.
From the tone of the workers re-
marks it is evident that Sank City is
wide-awake in advancing the moral
tone Of the community.

OBITUARY.

Augusta Pohl was born in the Pro-
vince of Brandenberg, Germany, Aug.
10, 1912 and passed away from this
life FEB. 6, 1913 at her home in North
Freedom. She was united in marriage
to Carl Lang In January 1866. To
this union were born eleven children
of which the oldest died 10 infancy.
The ten children living are: Albert
and Richard, Beloit; Mrs. Matilda
Getchman and Mrs. Martha Prime,
near North Freedom; Mrs. Freda
Ktnsman, Platteville; Mrs. Minnie
Bauer, Charley A., Fred, William and
Augusta, North Freedom.

Besides the ten children she leaves an
aged husband and twenty-nine grand
children to mourn for her. In 1875
she united with the Baptist church.
For the last three years her health has
been failing and since Christmas was
unable 10 leave her home. Her loved
ones were all with her when the end
lme. She was a faithful wife and a
kind and loving mother and devoted
christian. She lived for the church
and her family and always endesvored
to have her family of children at
church with her. In taking her away
the Lord could truly say, "Come up
higher thou good and faithful servant.
Enter into thy rest"
We have lost our darling mother
She has bid us all adieu
She has gone to live in Heaven
And her form is lost to view
Oh! that dear one, how we loved her
Oh! how hard to give her up
But an angel came and took her
And removed her from our flock.
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are DER;
On the border land we left her
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes
When we leave this world of care
We shall find cur missing mother
In our Fathers mansion fair.
A FRIEND.
