A citizen of Ironton heard the debate.
He reports that the Poplar Bluff de-
baters received the decisions of two
of the judges and the Lancaster de-
bators received one decision; but this
citizen did not think the decision was
Just. Mr.. Patrick was,formerly Ccun-
W Superintendent of schools in Adair
County.
Mrs. VANITY, a member of the
School Board of Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan, made a talk to the 18th and 8th

The county institute, held in the
April Sth, was well represented by the
three unions of the county-Arcadia
Valley, Belleview and Des Arc-not-
withstanding the April blizzard.
Mrs. e. G.. Emmons; State Lecturer
and Superintendent of Scientific Tenn
perance Instruction, rendered valua-
able help at each service. She captur-
ed the pupils of the high school with
her scientific talk upon the effect of
alcohol upon the physical, mental and
moral nature of the individual.
Her practical address to the citizens
OF the valley at the Academy of Music
Saturday evening on "First Aid to Ma
tional Prohibition" held the large au-
dience in rapt attention, sven at late
hour.
Her addresses ab the Fort Hill
church Sunday morning and at the
Baptist church in the evening demon
strated the fact that the work of the
w. @. T. U. is q strong spiritual force
and that our state organization selects
strong women of spiritual power as
women of mental ability. Her ad-
dresses were all we'll attended and
Mrs. Emmons will always be accorded
a warm welcome on when she comes
to the valley.
The following ladies from Des Arc
attended the institute: Mesdames
Della Stevenson, E. e. Whitesides, E.
W Graves, Geo. Lloyd, Ray Stamp and
Bessie Mckee. Those in attendance
from Belleview were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Tom Belt, Mrs. Hal Bella Mrs. Har-
vey Bell.
The members of the institute were
PLACED under obligations to Prof. r.
Shoopfor a very Instructive talk on
our government and definition of term
as familiar to our women. Also to
Bishop Johnson for a mostappropriate
talk upon the relation OF the training
Of the chilcren to the future success
of prohibition. The model Institute
conducted by the Des Arc ladies', was
n of the interesting features of the
Institute.
The babies of Mesdames Beverly
Brown, DIR. Jones and Richard4Bald-
win were dedicated as white ribbon
recruits by Mrs. Emmons in a beauti-
full little ceremony.
We, trust the results of Mrs. En-
mons visit to US will be greatly in
creased membership and more in
terest in the work.

Death Of MRS. Sarah Allen.

Sarah Franklin, the daughter of Al
len Wade and Sarah Ann Shelton
Austin, was born in Arcadia, Mo-,
March 10, 1857. Here she grew to
Womanhood, receiving the education
al advantages. afforded here. She
early learned the dressmaking bust
ness so thoroughly, and had such fine
taste, that she was able to command
the very highest prices for her work.
In 1891, she married Alvin NJ. Allen,
and soon after this Mr.. and Mrs. Allen
moved to st. Louis and opened a
dressmaking establishment with Mr..
Allen business manager and Mrs. AL
len as superintendent of work. The
business prospered greatly from the
start. About the same time, Mr.. Al
len came into possession of quite a
little sum of money which they in
vested in st. Louis property, yielding
them "a very handsome profit. In
1909, feeling that they were able to
live on the income from their proper
ty, they returned to Arcadia to live.
A year and a half later her husband
died, and she remained a widow until
her death Sunday morning a few
minutes after midnight. At her re-
quest Rev. T. ]. Self preached her fun
eral sermon at 8 P. NJ. Monday, the
services being conducted by her pas
tor at Fort Hill Church, which was so
dear to her. The funeral was largely
attended, and the sermon very APP
propriate for the occasion. The pail
bearers were Messrs. A. l.. Willard,
DIR. G. w. Farrar, j. M. Whitworth,
James Evans, S. ). Tual and Mann
Ringo. Her Sunday School class of
| eight little girls dressed in white, were
present with floral offerings. She
leaves one brother, James G. Austin,
and one sister, Miss Letitia Austin.
Besider these there were present at
the funeral the following nephews
and nieces: Miss LYDIA Madigan whom
she had with her for several years as
her child, Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz and
their daughter, Mile, Mrs. Collins
and her son, Ned, Mrs. DR.. Marbury
and Jas. Austin, Jr. Fort Hill church
will miss her greatly. When she fail
ed to attend praymeeting, church or
Sunday School, her pastor knew there
were difficulties in the way that she
could not overcome. For a time after
she became unable to attend Sunday
School, she had her class sent to her
home and taught them there. She
assured her pastor that the future
gave her no dread, and that all was
we'll with her. NELSON b. HENRY.
