A firm grip by the hair is the method
generally advocated in saving women
from the water, both because it allows
the rescuer to have one hand free to
good leverage upon the body of the

may be effected.
In the case of a drowning man, it is
usually best to secure a hold with both
hands upon the back of the drowning
persons head, the thumbs above the
ears and the fingers curving back of

and drawn up by George A. Wright

several hours because they can not
get a passenger train out Of small
town.
- The bill provides that a person de-
string to travel in a caboose shall

cept those points scheduled as regular

After an illness of about three
months with lung and throat trouble
Mrs. Glen Wright passed away at
the family home on north Main
street on Tuesday morning, Feb. l6
1915, at 5:45 o'clock. Her condition
had been critical for several weeks
and while death was not unexpected
yet it was a great shock to the fam

hand of the grim reaper might be
letayed. A brief service was held at
! the home yesterday afternoon at
Theodore H. Aszman, after which the
Iremains were taken to Lineville,
where services will be held today at

| She was married on March Z, 1894,
to Edward Glendenning Wright, who
survives her. To them four children
were born. Hal John, who died in
1912, and Georgia, Rex and Dale. At
ter their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright resided for few years in
Linevi!le and Clio, and also lived at
different times at Harvey and CreS-
ton, moving to Charlton in 1910.
This place has since been their home.
She had been an active and faithful
member of the Presbyterian church
for many years, and evidenced her
christian profession in her daily life.
While devoted to her home and fam
lily she ever found time to minister
unto others. Of a genial disposition,
she had a pleasant word for all, and
to know her was to admire her for
the many lovely and noble qualities
which she possessed Besides her
husband and the children named
above she is also survived by one
brother. Willard Gammill, of Denver,
Colorado. The sympathy of the en-
tire community will go out to these
