Would Break Mrs. Sharts' Will.

Corunna, July 23.-The Congre-
gational Theological seminary at
Auburn, n. Y, will contest the will
Of the late Mrs. Julia Sharts of Owos-
so, and will seek to collect a legacy
Of $4,000, provided for that institu-
ton in Mrs. Sharts will as originally
drawn, but later changed by her,
without any witnesses being present.
Mrs. Sharts, the widow of for
mer ngregational minister in
OWosso, died on February 13, 1914.
She made her will on April 21, 1898,
with Frances Stearns, Charles Hop
kins and Helen A. Brooks as witness
es. By terms of the document, $3,-
000 was left to the seminary for the
purpose of endowing scholarship,
according to the rules of the school.
The remainder Of her estate amount
ing to $4,000 was left to her two
nieces, Misses Lillian e. Colt and
Kate c. Colt Of Niagara Falls.
At the time the will was drawn,
these two women were well-to-do,
but later they lost. their means and
became dependent. Learning this,
Mrs. Sharts decided to leave all of
her money to her nieces. She accogd-
irsgls drew 2ifre ehrough the section
of the will giving the money to the
seminary. On the edge of the paper
Mrs. Sharts wrote: This section is
changed that | may leave all my
money to my nieces."
Mrs. Sharts failed, however. to
have anyone witness the change.
This was discovered when the will
was probated and the seminary has
retained G., r. Lyon Of Owosso to
fight for its part Of the money.
According TO attorneys, the chang
es made in the will are voided by. the
fact that there were no witnesses to
the change.

my Country, 'Tis Of Thee ~

"Out of the thousands who attended
the song service at John Ball park Sun
day, only few knew the words Of
America.
This sentence from the current news
is true reflection of nation. wide
apathy in familiarity with symbols of
patriotism. The materialist may fail
to see the slightest advantage in the
mere vocal patriotism resident in mere
song. But the FACT-and the mater
ialists believe in FACTS-the FACT of
the matter is that when patriotism is
robbed of SENTIMENT, it is robbed
of the cardial artery.
Every AMERICAN ought to KNOW
"My Country, 'Tis of Thee"
Perhaps if we were not century
and more removed from the sacrifcial
suffering and the lion hearted nation
alism of the fathers and mothers of the
Republic, who realized at FIRST
HAND what it cost and what it meant
to be ABLE to sing of my Country
we would be less indifferent to the ap.
peal of the Republics anthem.
If we had our way, America" would
not only be TAUGHT in every school
house in the land-and sung by the
voice of youth in the opening of every
session of every school-but its mastery
would be required unescapably prece.
dent to graduation.

quire every applicant for citizenship to

gested for the graduates of our schoolsi

Conservative Citizeun.-,z.,r----..
! Conservative citizenu;

Mr.. Fitzpatrick took interest enough
in the candidacy of Mr. Matthews to
write the Congressman Of the district,
in which Mr.. Matthews practiced law.
And it is by the courtesy Of our fell
lowtownsman, Mr.. Fitzpatrick, that we
publish the following letters, which
will explain themselves:
"Owosso, Mich, June 90, 1914.
Hon. F. Ii. Dodds,
Mt Pleasant, Mich.
Dear Sir Mr. Roy d. Matthews,
of this place, has announced himself
as a candidate for Prosecuting Attor-
ney on the Republican ticket for the
county. And | am taking the liberty
of writing you for some information
in regard to his fitness for the posi-
tion he seeks.
While Mr.. Matthews is now a resi-
dent of this county, and was also when
a school boy, his practice of the law
has mostly been in your county where
he was for two terms the Prosecuting
Attorney, so that you know much
better than l do, orthe people here,
whether he would make a capable,
efficient and honest official And, as
you know, if you will give me the
information and size him up for us
/ will be much obliged to you.
Thanking you in advance for the
desired information,
/ am very truly yours,
VIM. KILPATRICK,"
To the above letter the following
reply was received:
"Mt. Pleasant, Mich, July 6, 1914.
Mr.. William M. Fitzpatrick,
Owosso, Michigan.
Dear Sir
Replying to yours of late date, [
can say that l knew Mr.. Roy d. Mat
thews well, while he was here, and
that / always found him to be good,
square, honest and honorable. He
was elected to the Office Of Prosecut-
ing Attorney, for this County, in 1908,
and reelected in 1910, and as such
did his work well and to the satisfac-
ton of the people generally. He was
in earnest and energetic as to his
officials duties, and never shirked. Is

There can be no doubling encom-
iums like the above. They never come
except as a reward of merit. Mr..
Matthews life and conduct and prac-
tice of the law was such that it at
tracted the attention of the Congress
man of his district, who is hims elf
one of Michigan's S most able lawyers.
Mr.. Matthews practiced law in Isa-
bella County but his uprightness,
honor and success attracted the at
tention of the bar of the State, which
has predicted bright future for him,
and has shown him to be capable to
handle all kind of cases.-Adv
