We are having fine weather and the
farmers are very busy sowing wheat.
The railrord company has put the
track in better shape than it was be-
fore the flood. More than 500 men
have been employed hauling gravel

cleaning out out bitches, etc. The
bridge carpenters have been around
and put the station houses in fine
shape.

School Notes.


Miss Irene Marshall and Mr. Maurice
HUFF entertained the Students of the
High School Friday afternoon with
some music upon the piano and
euphonium.
The boys of the High School have
organized a basket ball team and have
scheduled a game with Piedmont for
Saturday, October 30th. The students
of the grades have organized an in
door base ball team.
The following teachers are doing
correspondence work with either the
State Normal or University: Miss
Mabel Fields, Miss Savannah Duval,
Miss Ethel Vaughn, and Professor

Mr.. Hutchings entertained the

grades Friday afternoon with some
fine violin music.
With the addition of new students
each week since school began, and
with a total enrolment of sixty-two
students, the High School Department
ct the Public School is rapidly becom-
ing overcrowded. In some of the class
rooms three students are compelled
to sit on a single seat. Besides the
study hall, the High School students
have only two small rooms. These
rooms were formed by building q par
tition through the central part of a
single room which was originally the
same size as the recitation room now
occupied by the fifth and sixth grades.
Prof. Raymond Shoop reports that
there are several other students who
should be in the High School, but be-
cause of lack of room he could not en-
courage them to come. Two High
School inspectors visited the Ironton
schools last year and reported the
work as being better in the High
School than ever before; but both in
dicated clearly in their remarks to
the Superintendent of Schools and to
the school board that our school could
not long continue to be approved if
the attendance in High School keeps
growing larger and more room is not
provided. The High School students,
as a body, are doing excellent work,
especially when we take into consid- :
GRAFTON the over-crowded conditions.

Obituary.

Died-September 16, 1915, near Sa-
bula, Mo-, Mrs, Leroy Dunn, aged
about 81 years-"Aunt Sallie" Dunn,
as she was better known by old and
young, and loved by all. 1t is needless
to add what her life was, but will pen
some of the verses she composed at
the last of her remaining years as
each birthday rolled around. She said
as she arose in the morning these
verses came into her mind, and though
she did not have the advantage of an
education and could neither read nor
write, she was a remarkable old lady.
| am sixty six this day,
My time is rolling on,
| am travelling to my grave
To lay this body down.
I was born in 1881,
Now this is 81;
My home will be in heaven.
Now my race is almost run,
My time On earth will soon be done.
l hope l will be prepared to go,
And gladly leave all things below.
| am travelling to my home,
To lay this body down;
L hope to find a brighter day,
And wear a glorious crown.
My birthday now is past,
Which makes me 70;
| hope that l will be a branch of Christ.
That lovely vine.
| have passed my four score and one
Glory to God and his son!
And many a tiresome weary dav
l nave spent upon my earthly way.
May I be numbered with the blest.
And with them be at final rest,
now have passed full eighty two,
And here there's nothing 1 can do.
The time is drawing, drawing nigh
When this body worm and frail must
die.
oh may / join that heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
She had also composed other pieces
besides her birthdays, which are as
remarkable.
"Aunt Sallie" and "Uncle Leroy.''
as they were known by most every
one, had never been blessed with any
children to brighten their home, and
we deeply symp athize with him in
losing such a dear companion. 1t was
a precious privilege to be with her
and try to do what could be done for
her comfort as she was passing through
the vale of shadows. Kind neighbors
and relatives wed one with another
in doing what they could for her, but
God said, 'It is enough; come up
higher" She was laid to rest in
Emily's Chapel.
When the evening shadow gather
And the long days work is done,
When we reach that unknown coun-
try
Out beyond the setting sun;
After all the weary waiting
In their peaceful rest to share,
No more need OF anguish parting,
We shall know each other there.
A FRIEND.

SCRIPTURE.
Psalms 33:13-22.

The Lord looketh from heaven; he
beholdeth all the sons OF men.
From the place OF his habitation he
looketh upon all the inhabitants OF
the earth
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he
considereth all their works
There is no king saved by the multi
tude Of an host. a mighty man Is not
delivered by much strength.
An horse Is vain thing for safety:
neither shall he deliver any by his
great strength.
Behold, the eye Of the Lord is upon
them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy;
To deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine
our soul waiteth for the Lord; he is
our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in him,
because we have trusted in his holy
name.
Let thy mercy o Lord, be upon US.
according as we hope in thee.

the stores remained open evenings,

In the fall of 1904 the first hig gas

trial purposes was drilled two miles
west and followed by several others.
The immediate result was the electric
light plant built the following year
and which Illuminated the streets for
the first time ON July 4, 1905. The
promoters of the enterprise, through
circumstances beyond their CONTROL

Mack Sennett was going to the San
