FORMER ALMA GIRL
DIES IN ST. LOUIS, MO.

Miss Gertrude Yerington, well
known in this vicinity, died in st.
Louis, Mo. Saturday evening at z
o'clock, January 20. Miss Yerington
was the daughter of William and
Amanda Yerington, who came to Alma
in 1866. She helped to organize the
the first Baptist church in this city, at
that time and for years was an active
worker in the church and Sunday
school. About twenty years ago, she
gave up her residence in Alma to re-
side with her brother, Professor Yer
lngton, in one neighboring city, st.
Louis. Deciding to spend her Christ
mas with her sister, Mary of st. Louis,
Mo-, she went to that city just before
the holidays. On Christmas day, she
was taken with the grip, which later
developed into pneumonia. Her case,
becoming serious, Professor Yerington
was wired, who Immediately hurried
to her bedside. At the end of week
she was much improved and the ply
stefan assured him that he could re-
turn to Michigan with perfect as
surance that his sister was out OF
danger. She continued to improve un-
til within a few days before her death,
when new symptoms developed, and
she failed very rapidly until the end
came. Miss Mary Yerington came
through with the body, arriving in st.
Louis, Monday evening. The funer-
nj services were held at the college IN
that city. Rev. Gainder, pastor of the
Baptist church of that city officiating
Her remains were LAID beside he- rs--
ents in Riverside cemetery this city
Miss Yerington leaves many warm
friends among the old residents OF
Alma, and will be greatly missed
among the church workers Of st
Louis. She leaves two brothers anC
one sister to mourn her loss, DR.. s
d. Yerington, Prof. c. w. Yeringtor
and Mary Yerington.

NEW BUSINESS BLOCK IN ALMA

Rumors have been current for the
past few days of new building pro-
ject to be put on the spring. The
possibilities are that it will take the
form Of fine new business block-two
stories in height with a modern front
and will be erected on the vacant
lots between the Odd Fellows hall and
the Deluxe Candy Kitchen on south
State street.
II is understood that architects are
now at work on the plans and the pro-
ject will be backed by the Merchants
Building Association. Should this
building be erected, it will make a
remarkable improvement of the ap.
pearance of the business district OF
the town. This heretofore barren spo'
is passed by all traffic going to and
from the station and fine new bust
ness structure would be welcomed By
the people Of the city.

WILL EXTEND MAIL DELIVERY

The rapidly increasing population of
the city has caused the local postoffice
to handle mail in considerable larger
quantities than ever before, conse-
quently an attempt will be made to
secure the services Of another carrier.
All mail is being counted at the local
office this week. During the past
several months, mail has been so
heavy that carriers were unable to
handle all of it on certain routes and
part had to be omitted at certain
times.

This Season.

Columbus, o., April 15.-Manager
John De Almond of the Huntington
baseball team of the Ohio State
League. purchased the release of Kem-
per Shelton, former player on the Co

Shelton will play the outield for the

ing that time conferences with Man
ager Bobby Quinn of the Columbus

retaining strings on Shelton, but the

deal. 1t was then that he and De Ar
mond came here to see the owners of
the Columbus team.

cure him for his team. 1t is believed
that with his popularity. Shelton will
prove a drawing card not only in his
home town but on the road.
