On January q, 1916, John S. Fran

was by death removed from our MEM

He had during these years occupied
with credit to himself and with salts
faction to his constituency the po-
sitions Of Mayor of the city Of Butler
and Of Probate Judge Of Bates county.
He was eminently man Of kindly
feelings, and had the happy faculty Of
making of his acquaintances his friends.
and at the same time he had the cour-
age of his convictions as to enlist the
COMMUNICATION of those who opposed
him or his views.
From the unfortunate whose condi-
ton he knew he turned not away.
He despised cant and had no patience
with shams.
Domestic in his habits, his con-
slant care was for his family and his
home. In his relations with the courts
and his associates at the bar he was
courteous and considerable, holding him
self ever ready to accommodate where
he could do SO without prejudice to his
clients.
To them he gave the best energies of
his life, and to the full measure of his
ability pressed their claims to the fav-
orable consideration of both court and
jury.
Until i'll health had cast its blight up
On his vitality he occupied prominent
position at the bar of the courts in this
state where he had their esteem and
confidence to the fullest.
In brief it may be said that in what
ever field of activity he ventured he
acted we'll his part.
Therefore be it resolved: That in the
leath of John S. Francisco the bar of
Bates county has sustained distinct ;,
oss.
To his family we tender our heartfelt
That we will cherish the memory of
us association with us and mourn his {
ntimely going.
That thu preamble and these resolu-
ions be spread upon the records of this
,ourt, that an engrossed copy be fur
ished to the family of our deceased l
rother, and that the city newspapers t
e requested to publish the same. t

Ha! Ha! Good joke on the Fresh

tory and algebra lessons that some of
their girls forget to take off their cook
aprons before ceming to school to finish
the lesson. Now this may be the cause

girls are progressing a step further in

Freshman Notes.
The Freshmen class are honored by
having among them girl who won

class better enthusiasm and know we
all feel proud of our contestant. We as
a class are proud that our High School
won the boys contest with James Simp-
son, a Sophomore. We feel the B.H.S.
will win in both the contests at Warrens-
ourg. This gives our H. S. agood stand
ng now among the other schools.
| am sure that all the classes rejoice
over the High Schools victory and will
rive the contestants their loyal support.
The Freshman class of 1915 will be rem
,mber as one of the strongest classes
he H. S. has had or ever will have.
The Freshmen class have fallen in love
