DEATH OF POPULAR YOUNG
MAN SHOCKS COMMUNITY

Announcement of the death of
Clyde Hawkins at the Alamosa hos
pital last Monday was great shock
to the relatives and friends of the
young man in this city. Clyde was
operated upon December 7 for ap-
pendicitis. He withstood the opera
tion very well and was planning on
returning home in a few days when
heart trouble and death followed in
a short time.
This death is particularly a sad
one on account of youth and family
ties which needed the young mans
presence here for many years to
come. Clyde was well known in this
part of the valley, having formed a
large acquaintance through his CON
nection with the Center and Stow
stores and also through his sheep
business. His frank and kindly
manner and disposition of cheerful
ness will be long remembered.
The funeral services held at the
Baptist church Wednesday were con-
Quoted by DR.. Moore and DR.. Gum,
and were marked by elaborate floral
offerings and very large attend
ance. Interment was made at the
Monte Vista cemetery.
Clyde Norvell Hawkins was born
at New Frankfort, Saline Co., Mo,

to Monte Vista in June, 1907; was
Joined in marriage with Miss Edna

PROPOSED CHANGES IN
DISTRICT COURT SITTINGS

Judge j. C. Wiley of the Twelfth
Judicial District, comprising the
counties of Saguache, Rio Grande,
Conejos, Costilla, Alamosa, and Min
eral, has sent out a circular letter
this week, suggesting changes in the
sittings of District Court. The
change suggested for Rio Grande
county consists in holding the
Spring term commencing the Third
Monday in May instead of the fourth
and the Fall term commencing the
first Monday in November instead of
the second Monday. On account of
the lack of business in Mineral
county. it is suggested that the
Spring term be discontinued 1t is
thought that these changes will
make it more convenient for the
farmers who have to attend as jur-
ors, as the dates as changed will
come in slightly less busy season of
the year The purpose of the letter
is to give those interested chance
to offer suggestions before the
change goes into effect.

For Thirteenth Season
Ddi!yWeW Appears

Thirteen has never had any ill
Omens for the Daily News, and to-
days issue marks the beginning of
the thirteenth successful season of
the paper.
The Daily News today and the Daily
News at it's inception look little
alike. Like the city of Daytona in
those days gone by. the Daily News
was in the beginning a small four
page paper. without telegraphic news
service and compared very poorly in
other respects with the Daily News
of today-a newspaper that is general
ly conceded by the newspaper frater-
nifty to be the best "smalltown" news
paper in the south.
The Daily News today greets its
readers with the superb news service
furnished by the Associated Press. 1t
also conveys to its readers the closing
quotations on the New York Stock
Exchange, a service far superior to
that carried by any other daily news
paper on the East Coast of Florida.
But for all these improvements over
former years the Daily News manage
ment by no means deserves all of the
credit. The improvements are pos
sible primarily because the Daily
The Daytona daily news. [volume] (Daytona, Fla.) 1903-1926, 1916-12-01

News has been popular with the peo-
pie; because the business men realize
its value as an advertising medium
and have as a result accorded to the
publication such patronage as to make
the improvements possible.
With its initial issue the Daily News
is somewhat handicapped in that all
the places on it's staff have not been
filled and the paper will be issued
for few days under an exceptional
mental and physical strain, but very
shortly the organization that prepares
and produces the Daily News will be
running with smoothness of perfec-
ton.
No rash promises are being made
ether than that the Daily News this
season, as ever heretofore, will be a
booster for the best interests of the
welfare of Daytona, it's citizens and
tourists.
The local news will be covered in
such way as to publish all important
news that's fit to print, and Che ap-
propriate slogan of the past-"If you
read it in the Daily News it's pretty
apt to be that way,"-will be follow
ed as far as possible to eliminate hu-
man errors.
