The deceased was born at Washing
ton. Iowa. about two months after the
death of her father. Though never
purposeful life, securing mental and
musical culture which would have
done credit to more rugged physical
health.
When small girl she united with
the Baptist church at Washington,
Iowa, and ever honored with consist
ent life and serious service the Master
great trial, enabling her to leave for
her loved ones dying testimony full
OF comfort.
In the death of Nettie Kelly, Deni-
son has lost from its numbers a wo.
man of exceptional charm and ability,
of whom it has been truly said ITO
know her was to love her." Her tend
er and watchful care of her aged
mother, who died few years ago,
was very beautiful Her devotion to
her brothers and sisters, her loyalty
to her friends, her kindness to every
one will long be remembered by ALL
from the tiny toddlers in the Sabbath
school to those on whose heads Faith
err Time has traced in silver the years
OF his coming.
Her church will miss her. miss the
voice that for many years aided in
making the services each Sunday more
beautiful, miss the hands that were
so ready for service, miss the life that
has been so true and helpful. She
was noble christian woman, a work
err for Christ and His kingdom OF
whom the Psalmst could write today
as OF old, "The kings daughter is all
glorious within
She has gone to that other home a
little before the rest OF us, but she
will not be forgotten, for she will live
on in the thoughts and lives OF those
who have known her, and because
they have known her, are better men
and women today.
May God give the world more wom-
en- like Nettie Kelly. =

Geo. r. Gum, Fred Rickers, j. M.
Peters, Henry Schwanz, julius JAMS,
Tom Brogan, w. NJ. Meyer and Steve
Jams, all of Jackson township, were
in Denison today and appeared be-
fore the board of supervisors on a
matter pertaining to the welfare OF
the township. These representative
gentlemen were before the board OF SUI
.pervisors petitioning the board to
change the style of culverts which are
in use in Jackson township. Their
claim is made that the culverts now
in use are not sufficiently permanent
to answer the purposes. They de-
.mand that an improved kind OF cul-
vert be put into use in the township.
What they ask is that the board use
reinforced concrete instead OF CORFU
gated iron, which is now in use. The
parties made strong presentation OF
their claims and no doubt will be
able to induce the board to make the
changes desired. AS the petition is
signed by ninety-fve representative
men of Jackson township, we have no
doubt but the board will recognize the
wishes of these leading citizens OF the
county and act accordingly.
! We are advised that Prof w. T..
Knowlton, now principal OF the high,
school at jefferson, has signed a con-
tract with the local school board and
will come to Denison in September to
assume the position OF principal OF
the local high school. Professor
Knowlton graduated from the State
university and was a classmate OF
Supt. c. f. Humphrey while there. He.
is a lover of athletics and has done.
much to build up the football, basket
BAH and track teams at Jefferson UNI
til that school is recognized as one
of the best in athletics in the state.
When it became known in Jefferson
that he was thinking OF coming to
Denison considerable pressure was
brought to bear upon him to have him
