THE HERMAN-kAMPS
entertainment

The Sherman-Kamps elocutionary
and musical entertainment at the
Congregational church Tuesday night,
under the management of the En-
deavor Society, was an allround mer-
itorious performance. Miss Sherman
proved herself a reader of wide YER
salility of emotional expression. Her
selections ranged from high tragedy
to rollicking comedy, including Ne
gro and Italian dialect, the audience
seeming particularly captivated with
her lyrics, with musical setting, from
Eugene Field. Miss Ramps also
seemed to impress the audience as a
high-class renditionist of high-class
compositions, who was dually gifted,
appearing to shine equally as a vocal
ist and as pianist.

DEATH OF JAMES HUDDLEsToN

James Huddleston, Jr., aged 23
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Huddleston, Of this city, and who
resided at Beloit, where he was en-
ployed as machinist for Fairbanks,
Morse e Co., died February of
diphtheria (not black diphtheria) +,
after an illness of two weeks. He
is survived by wife of II months
as we'll as by his parents
The funeral was held Wednesday
of last week, the remains being ta-
ken to Evansville, Wis, for burial.
Mrs. Huddleston went to Bcloit Tues
day night, having received a belat-
ed telegram that day telling her the
sad and unexpected news of the
death of her son the day before. Ar
irving at BelOit, Mrs Huddleston
found that her sons body had just
been taken to Evansville. She was
few minutes too late to catch the
last train to Evansville that day and,
as all wires were down, she was I'M
able to get word through to post
pone the funeral until she could get
there
James, known familiarly as Jim
mie" to his many Ladysmith friends,
was taken sick Jan %, but the
physician who was summoned dag
nosed the case as the grip-"nothing
serious" Apparently James got no
worse until the oath and he then
asked for another physician, who said
there was nothing serious the mat
ter with him, although he had a bad
throat" Monday, Feb. /, James was
taken much worse. AS the second
doctor did not come when called. a
third was summoned, the latter i'm
mediately pronouncing the case diph-
iberia 1t was then too late to use
antl-tox1ne and death relieved the
young man Of his suffering the next
morning. +

GETTING SOcIABLE

The farm of T. NJ Thomas realized
$40 Thursday from perhaps one of
the most unusual head of livestock
known, in recent years, so near the
clty-only about q of a mile from
the court house. 1t was no less a
rarity than a 35-pound brush wolf
"a cross between a coyote and a
timber wolf-which Harvey Sugg
brought down with a well-placed bull
let in the neck, from a 1920 rifle
The wolf was observed scouting
about the under-brush, while Mr.
Sugg was engaged in getting out a
load Of bolts. He, as many of his
kind are said to be doing, was no
doubt led by the snowfall to join the
'back-to-the-farm" movement, an ex-
ample which many of us superior
animals would do we'll to initiate.

A. n. MCCORMICK WILL ERECT
FINE BUILDING ON
WORDEN-AV.
FAITH IN GREATER LADYSMITH
New Grcceryman Takes for Granted
the City's Continued Expan-
sion and Will Build in
the Spring

AS will be noticed by the owners
announcement elsewhere in this pa
per, a new grocery and flour store
has been opened in the old Bush
stand on Worden-av., with A. II. Nc
Cormick as proprietor.
Mr. Mccormick had force of men
employed for several days fitting up
the building next to e. M. Worden's
store, which he had rented from E.
" McGill, the restaurant man, with
the idea OF occupying it for the time
being, but this idea was given up
when Mr.. Mccormick made the deal
with Mr.. Bush.
In the spring it is his expectation
to erect and move into two-story,
cement 60x100 ft. building, on the
lots adjacent to the Spear garage
on the west, fronting on Worden-av
and abutting on the railroad The
substantial improvement to be made
by Mr. Mccormick, who came from
Charleston, S. c., last September, ex-
hibits a fervent faith in a Greater
Ladysmith, and a commendable dis
position to contribute thereto.
Mr.. Bush has occupied the build
ing since it was built, in the fall of
1911, conducting a meat market and
grocery. The store has been popular
with the public and did a good bus
mess, but Mr.. Bush has been handi-
capped by a lack of sufficient capi-
tai to contend with the exigencies of
a business in which credit was lib
orally given and often shamefully
abused by ungrateful patrons.
He expects to leave the city, pos
sibly going to Cornell. Wherever he
goes he will have the best wishes of
many Ladysmith friends.

The Kitchen Shop

Attention is called to the announce
ment in another column of T. L.
Murphy, who has recently opened a
store in the H. w. True building,
which will be conducted by himself
and his son, Thomas. His new and
well-displayed stock, in new and
conveniently located building, pre-
sents an attractive and promising
appearance. BY the way, Mr.. Muir
phy-who is an expert horse-trainer,
and who has now in the city a couple
of blue-blooded roadsters, has been
suggested as a proper person, if his
services could be secured, to do
some work in that line, in connec-
ton with the proposed horse-pavilion
at the fair grounds.
