Mrs. Emily F. Freer

Emily Fox was born at Genesee
Falls, n. Y, March 10, 1928, where the
first years of her life were spent. When
she was about seven her parents. lured
by tales of the famous northwest terri
tory, turned their faces westward and
settled at what was then called South
port, but later was changed to Keno
sha, Wis. After residing there for a
time the family removed to Turtle
Prairie, near Delavan, where her ia
Their opened up a valuable farm. Here
she grew to womanhood and developed
that strongly Chr. stan character
which marked her whole life.
The pioneer spirit again possessing
her family, they moved in 1850 to Del
lilies to locate there. Here on January
1, 1852, she was united in marriage to
the Reverend Leonard d. Dickens.
With him she shared the labors and
privileges of the life of minister Of
the gospel during those early days,
proving herself peculiarly adapted to
her calling. Nine years later her hus-
band was suddenly taken from her by
death, leaving her with three small
daughters to care for during the siren
uous days of the Civil War, and nobly
did she respond to the task
In July, 1865, at the close Of the
war, she was married to Justus S.
F'reer, one son bless ng this union. In
1898 Mr.. Freer passed away and ten
years later her son, Howard NJ, fol-
lowed his father, thus leaving her
dOubly bereft. Since her sons death
she had made her home with her
youngest daughter Mrs. E. F. Brown,
of Kilbourn, Wis. She had lived in
Delton nearly sixty continuous years,
and during that time, by her high
ideals, upright character and helpful
attitude toward those about her, had
won the respect and esteem of all who
knew her. Since coming to Kilbourn,
because of ill-health and the infirmi-
ties of age, her life had been practical
ly that of a "shut-in." Still she made
many warm friends and the little chill
dren all loved Grandma Freer and Of
ten came with their hands full of flow
ers for her
She passed into the beyond quietly
and peacefully On Sunday, July %,
1917, at the ripe age of SO years, A
months and IL days. She leaves three
daughters, Mrs Phebe A Babcock of
Black River Falls; Mrs Emily D.
Woodwork of Ironton, Mich, and
Mrs. Cora B. Brown of Kilbourn;
twelve grandchildren and twelve great
grandchildren, besides many other rel
atives and friends.
The funeral was held from the Del
ton Methodist Episcopal church, of
which she was a faithful member for
many years. The Reverend d. E. Hill
of Delton conducted the services. as
sisted by the Reverend E, L. Quien. of
Kilbourn. Interment was in the Del
ton cemetery.

TWO F0RDS MEET.
THEN COURT CASE

Wnen creek meets creek then comes
the tug of war;
When Ford meets Ford then comes a
mighty jar.
1t all happened on Sank Prairie.
Two Ford machines accidentally
coIlided.
The case has been tried in Justice
Halsted's court.
According to the evidence brought
out at the trial. Charles Rich, driv-
ing Ford, and also Alvin j. Rist,
likewise driving Ford, collided on
Sank Prairie on the night of June 18.
Each machine was carrying about
FIVE passengers and each owner claim
ed damages amounting to fifty dollars
"a case of ffty-ffty.
Mr.. Rich testified that he was driv-
ing along in the dark and saw the
other machine approaching. He was
on the right side of the road near the
home of John M. Kindschi, and as
the machines drew nearer and nearer
he was fearful that collision would
take place. When the two cars were
about twelve feet apart, he testified,
in order to avoid mishap, he turned
his car to the left. Before he gave
his wheel twist, the other car kept
approaching on the same side of the
road which he was driving, and just
as he turned Mr.. Rist turned also,
bringing the cars together.
Mr.. Rist claimed that he was in a
rut and was prepared to get out of
the rut onto the macadam before the
other car could have met him. He
pulled to the right to avoid the crash
and there met the other car, which
had turned to the left,
1t was also stated that there was
room to the right where Mr.. Rich
could have gone in safety.
The court held that both should
have followed the rules of the road
and kept to the right. Not finding
one to blame more than the other,
Mr.. Halsted dismissed the case.
1t was not stated whether or not
it will be appealed.

up al the meeting tonight. Not only members of the association are in- vited to be present, but all who are interested in the two questions.
 The Warrior river site was first brought to the attention of the state through the efforts of the Civic as sociation, and they are now behind the site for the permanent plant. If it should be shown that some other Ala bama site is more advantageous than the Warrior river site, they will sup port it. The only other competing lo- cations for the experimental plants are outside of the state of Alabama, and the association thinks that all parties can unite on this as the best location for this plant All of Ala bamas representatives at Washington in both the Senate and the House have been asked to do all in their power for this site by the association, and the requests have resulted in the thorough examination of the location.
 "The only way in which Alabama will ever get anything is by the 70 operation of all parties and q more general spirit of together ana good fellowship, said Secretary -NIan- ager c. l.. Harold of the association. Everybody is invited to be present at our meeting tonight and cultivate a broader statewide fellowship that will get things for Alabama in the fu- turc."

 Election to Take Place
 on October

There is a strong possibility of politics getting up little momentum this week. Heretofore the simmering condition of the political pot has not created much interest. The withdrawal of President George B. Ward from the race for pres ident of the city commission contrary to expectations that he would battle his opponent to standstill to succeed him. self has been about the only real news of the campaign so far.
 Commissioners Truss and Hornady are getting their petitions in order so as t3 make their formal announcements to succeed themselves. Commissioner James Weatherly has said with emphasis that he was not going to run for reelection and with even more emphasis has he downed any intimation that he would make the race for the presidency of the commission.
 Commissioner Barber has declared that he was in the race for president of the commission with all of his heart. He expects according to his own words, to have the time of his life until the cam paign is over, and that he will carry his message or appeal directly to the peo- n1a
