The army bill passed by the senate contains provisions

HENRY FAUL
TO SCHLESWIG
We'll Known Dcnison Printer Pur'
chaScs Leader at SchlcsWig and
Has Taken Possession.
MAY GET SOME COUNTY WORK
The Fact That Mr.. Faul Had Charge
of Job Department Of Bulletin for
Years May Help Secure Printing

The Schlcswig Leader. which has
been owned and edited for the past
three years by Fred C. Freeman, was
sold last week to Mr.. H. w. Faul.
who took possession of the property
on last Monday. The change Of own
ership came as a surprise to the pco-
pie of Schleswig, as there was no III
tinaton that Mr.. Freeman was even
considering selling the publication.
Mr.. Faul is an experienced printer
and in fact has been associated in the
printing and publishing business for
the past twcnty-three years. For
number of years he has been connect
ed with the Denison Bulletin in the
capacity of foreman. For some time
he had complete charge of the JOB
printing department of the Bulletin
and much Of the intricate county
printing was done by him. At one
time Mr. Faul was in the employ OF
the Review and we found him to be a
printer of great ability. AS owner and
editor of The Schleswig Leader we
predict he will meet with success. He
is of German blood and will give the
people of Schlcswig and locality a
newspaper that they may well be
proud of. No doubt MIR. Faul will be
awarded portion Of the county print
ing as he is staunch democrat and
deserving of some of the patronage.
The fact that he is thoroughly famil-
lar with all classes of the county print
ing will prove him in good stead.
The old editor of the Leader, Mr..
Fred G.. Freeman, has been in charge
of the Leader for the past three years
and during that time greatly increas-
ed the business. The paper enjoyed
4 large advertising patronage and in
fact it contains more advertising than
any other paper in town of its size
that comes to the Reviews exchange
table.
Mr.. Faul in announcing the purchase
had the following to say in the last
issue of the Leader:
with this issue The Leader is pub
lishcd under new management. Mr..

LIVED IN COUNTY
SINCE YEAR 1869
4 Mrs. Richard 3. Johnston, One of the
Earlier Settlers of Crawford
County, Died Monday.
BORN IN CANADA
Kind, Loving and Conscientious Wo-
II man Whom All Loved to Meet
ajt# Mother of Twelve Children

I'll Mrs. Richard B. Johnston died at
1 the home Of her daughter, Mrs. Ed
Brogden, on Monday morning at 8
d o'clock after a prolonged illness.
Elizabeth Herner, daughter of
George and Sarah Herner, was born
in Canada, Aug "a, 1S41. At the age
of eleven years she came with her
parents to Mt. Carroll, ILL.,, where on
Jan. Is, 1856, she was married to Rich
ard B. Johnston. The young couple
took up the duties of married life at
Mt. Carroll and lived there until in
June, 1869, when they decided to try
their fortunes in the golden west I'M
migrating to Crawford county and
settling in Goodrich township, where
5 they resided eight years. then moving
to farm near Buck Grove. On
March u, 1880, misfortune overlook
them when the family home was de-
stroyed by fire, and two dear little
girls, Elizabeth and Emma, were lost
in the flames. Immediately after this
the family returned to Goodrich town
ship, where they lived until the spring
of 1902, when they moved to Delolt.
4 In 1910 they came to Denison, where
Mr.. Johnston passed away Jam TO-,
1913, since which time the mother has
made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Edward Brogden.
In 1861, while living in ILLINOIS,
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston united with
the church of God and continued their
membership therein, although no
church of this denomination was
found in this locality. Twelve chill

Mrs. Sarah Schroeder Of Canada; Al
len, Mrs. Mary Mullenger, Mrs. Ida
4 Brogden, William and Richard, all

ley, residing in Nebraska; Mrs. Clara
johnson, of Texas, and George, OF Au-
burn. The deceased also leaves three
brothers, Memo, Of Alaska; John, or
Illinois, and Reuben, of Council Bluffs.
Mrs Johnston was one OF those
kind, loving and conscientious women
that everyone loved to meet, ana
whose very presence was a ray OF sun
shine that cast a precious hal around
about her. Her fondest ambition was
to make her home the center OF at
traction for her husband and children,
and all of them appreciated to the ut
most "Mother's" efforts. Her life
was testimony of christian goodness,
and when the final summons came. al
ter several weeks illness, she went
to meet her Maker with the assur-
ance that she would receive the re-
ward she so fully deserved.
Funeral services were held this al
ternoon at o'clock at the home or
her daughter, Mrs. Ed Brogden, Rev.
j. L. Boyd, pastor Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, officiating. after
which interment was made in Oak
land cemetery.
