DEATH OF EDWARD DIXON
One of Best Known Residents of this
Section of the Country Passes Away

| Section of the Country Passes Away
| The passing of Edward Dixon whose
farm home is just north of this city,
takes from us one of the best known
characters in this section of the coun-
try and leaves within the circle of his
friends vacant place that will be
hard to FILL For many years he has
been a familiar figure in this city,
where he was universally loved and
respected and we shall all miss him,
more especially those that were near
est and dearest to him. He died at
500 o'clock on the evening of Wash
ing+on's birthday, Feb. %, 1916.
Edward Dixon was born at Collin
wood, Ontario, Canada, April II, 1851
snts in 1859. He lived as boy with
his parents on farm near Embarrass
and on July 4, 1874, he was married to
Clara L. James, moving to the farm on
which he had made his home ever
since, just north of this oity.
He was the father of five children,
Herbert A., Jay A., Kittie b. Flora L..
and John r., all of whom, with his
wife, survive and who were all at his
bedside when he passed away. He
also leaves five brothers, two sisters
and one grandson, Edward Dixson Col.
burn The brothers are George, Isaac
William and Joseph Of Washing ton,
David of Oregon, Eliza Rich of Wash
ington and Anna Branham of Califor-
MIA
His funeral services will be held
from his late home this afternoon at
ection of the Clintonville Lodge No.
197, f. & A. M, of which he was an
honored member, having been initi-
ated July 8, 1875, passed April 8, 1876
and raised August 5, 1876. Rev. NJ. l..
Everz of Amigo will preach the funer-
al sermon. The pail bearers whom he
had selected before his death will be

Mr.. Dixon had many friends in Wa
beno and Soperton who were grieved
to learn of his death. Some years ago
he was frequent visitor here. His
daughter, Florence was employed in
the ADVERTISER Office for several years
prior to her marriage to Claude Col
burn of Hiles.

St. Patricks Day Entertainment.

1t may not be generally known that
John Mccormack, the Samous Irish
tenor, is paid $4,000 an evening for his
extraordinary talent when he is invit-
ed to be the attraction at an entertain
ment. But such is the faoe-a fact, it
may be added, that had more or less
weight in causing the Knights of Col
umbus of Soperton and Wabeno not to
invite Nr. Mccormack to appear on
their St. Patrick's day program.
But the same.sweet old Irish melo-
dies which Mr.. Mccormack is able, by
the alchemy of his voice, to coin into
So, 600 night are going to be sung at
Neider's hall the evening Of March IL.
They may not be sung as well as Mr..
Mccormack sings them; but they are
to be rendered by the bent local male
quartette it was possible TO assemble
for the occasion. sSo effort is being
spared to drill the singers TO do justice
to those undying melodies IN which
Thomas Moore so combined tre ten
der strains of love, the stirring notes
of patriotism and the subdued vail of
trag edy that they have lived through
centuries and will continue TO live be-
cause there is no heart in which they
do not find responsive cord An adj
ditional feature will be Irish music on
the harp. of course there is no in
strument more native to Ireland than
she harp. TO hear Irish melodies play
ed on it will be treat for local music
lovers.
The sale of seats for the enterta n
ment has begun. For the convenience
of the people of the two villages, ar
rangements have been made whereby
tickets NAV be bought any time be-
tween now and March IL at Neider's
| store, wabeno, ard the Forest County
Mercantile Co.. Sopsrton.

Peter Clark of Aberdeen, Wash,
has shaved himself three times a
week for fifty years, and mathema-
ticians have figured out that if he
had put the money saved by those
shaves out at compound interest he
would now have S11,100. But Peter
Clark is no better off financially than
the man who was shaved by the bar
Der for fifty years. A man who had
never smoked, talking with friend
who had smoked cigars for forty
years, made a mental calculation and,
pointing TO a tall Office building, said;
you've wasted enough money on ci-
CARS to have bought that office build
ing" "Yes," retorted the smoker,
"and where are the Office buildings
you have bought" All of which
points the moral that something more
than a theory about saving money is
required TO save money, and con-
firmation of the Apostle James that
faith without works is dead.
