DEATH OF GEORGE A. BROWN.

Wausau is fast losing its cid citi-
zens, those who have long been looked
upon as an integral part of that
which goes to make up the good, the
ever watchful; the ever faithful, in
fact the very bulwark of our city.
OF course, it must be expected that
those who have long served in the
warfare for the betterment of human
ity in a community, must, as age
creeps on apace, transfer the burdens
to younger shoulders. This was the
case with our esteemed Citizen and
neighbor, George A. Brown who
passed away on Wednesday afternoon
at SIS O'Clock, June Sd, 1914. Mr..
Brown received injuries in runaway
a week previously which resulted in
his death. He was taken immediate
ly to St. Marys hospital where he re-
manned until the end. 1t was thought
for several days after the accident
that he would recover and there was
rejoicing among his relatives and
friends.
George A. Brown was rs years of
age having been born on the oath day
of March, 1888, in Orange, N. j. The
family came to Wisconsin and settled
in Racine when Mr.. Brown was very
young and little later they moved
to Beaver Dam where deceased grew
to manhood. On the lst day of jan
uary, 1862, he was joined in marriage
to Miss Ellen Porter of Londonderry,
Ireland. The first years of married
life were spent in Clinton Co., la.
They came to Wausau to reside in
1883, and since that time have made
this city their home. Mr.. Brown has
conducted a dray line nearly all of
his life in Wausau.
January 1st, 1912, there was a family
reunion held in Wausau of the men,
bers of the family, the occasion be-
ing the golden wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown.
Mr. Brown had very wide acquain-
lance in our city and there is sincere
mourning throughout the city over
the passing away of this good citizen.
He was a charter member of the M !.
w. A. of this city and the members
of that lodge attended the funeral in
a body In 1864, Mr.. Brown joined
the Presbyterian church in Beaver
Dam; he transferred his membership
to the First Presbyterian church of
this city, in which he continued
until his death.
He is survived by his wife one son
and two daughters: w. P. Brown
and Mrs. Arson I'll. Clark of Wau-
sau and Mrs. Frank Fl. Lindsay of
Milwaukee. Four grand children and
sister, Mrs. Julia Gleason of Los
Angeles, Cal, and three half broth
ers, one of whom resides at Beaver
Dam.
The funeral services were held
from the home on Saturday at 1920
a. M, the Rev. James M. Duer, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church,
officiating.

u. c. T. CONVENTION.

The state convention OF the q. G.
T., he'd at Marshfield Friday and Sat
urday was great success. The heavy
rains of Thursday and the many
washouts, hindered somewhat In train
seryic, and perhaps kept many from
attending but the city was crowded
and all enjoyed the hospitality of the
good PEOPLE of Marshfield to the limit.
The Wausau members of the o..
G. t. sent over a marching club of
twenty. A large delegation prepared
to go over from here, but the wash
outs prevented the trains from run
ming and the attendance from here
was aterially cut down.

Although the Lumberjacks have
been playing on the home grounds
the past week and the games played
have all been close. the majority have
been lost TO the visitors. The team
has come from the first division very
fast and now it rests next TO the bot
tom with no prediction of rising until
there is little exertion made toward
strengthening some OF the weak
spots. Bonehead plays have lost some
games and there were several in
which every player seemed at his
worst, at least the score would indi-
cate it. On Tuesday last at Menoni-
nee defeat was administered the
locals IL to 6. On Wednesday Green
Bay was scheduled at this city but no
game was played because of rain. On
Thursday with Kench on the mound
we were trimmed 3 to 2 in ten
innings. Poor playing was the cause.
Friday the Green Bay flies were
swatted and the final score was to 3
with the home team in the lead. The
games Saturday and Sunday with the
Twin City aggregation were divided
equally, both being to 0, the Lum-
berjacks getting one and Marinette-
Menominee the other Monday the
Twin City team got the game by
punching hits in the eighth jnning
which resulted in four runs and the
most that the locals could get was
three. Bubser protested yesterdays
game but as usual probably nothing
will come of it.

Coal Industry in Eastern Kentucky
Was Never Better.

Whitesburg, Ky.-That the coal in
dusty in Eastern Kentucky was never
better is thoroughly evidenced by the
great tonnage that is now being ship
per out from the different plants in
this section. Shipments from the
Boone's Fork and Elkhorn Creek sec
tons, the Observation-Disclosures -Burdine-
Fleming Raymond tields-are especial
ly active, the different operating com
panies doing everything possible in
order to supply the demand. Both the

more & Ohio are really taxed to the
limit to handle the big output, which
has increased wonderfully during the
past month. 1t is said the only line OF
work is the coal business that has

arrangements have been closed for a
better site for the Kentucky building
at the Panama Pacific Exposition than
that originally allotted to the commits

The site originally chosen had no

ILLITERACY IN MERCER
People Attending Night Schools Which
Are Becoming Very Popular.

Harrodsburg, Ky.--lt is only few
weeks since the question of moonlight
schools in Mercer first began to be
agitated. The county superintendent,
Miss Ora Adams, who was among the
first to organize corn clubs, canning
clubs and school fairs, took up the
proposal to establish moonlight
schools in a systematic manner, and
as a result there are now ten of these
night schools hard at work and they
are attended by both men and women
who were unable to read. Many OF
the latter can now read and many are
rapidly learning to write. The schools
are located in the country precincts
and are becoming very popular. In
another fortnight there will be dozen
more in operation.
