PARTLOW.

On Tuesday, 21st of August, 1917,
Mabel Partlow, the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Partlow,
fell asleep in Jesus after a brief i'll
ness of a week.
Little Mabel was born November
IS, 1905. Reared in a lovely Chris
tan home and by devoted Christian
parents, she was influenced to ac-
cept Christ as her Savior early in
life. She joined the Unity Presby-
terian church in the summer of 1914
at the age of nine, and to the time
of her death lived and exemplifed
the life of a true Christian, never
~neglecting to let her light shine in
her home, church, everywhere.
1t was the privilege Of the writer
to know Mabel as a pupil in her
school. Her work in the class room
was excellent and her bright and
sunny disposition and obedience
won for her a warm place in the
hearts of her playmates and teacher.
The funeral was conducted at Old
Unity church, where her remains
were laid to rest. The beautiful and
impressive service was rendered by
Rev. w. B. F~rierson, her pastor.
The number of friends and relatives
and beautiful floral offerings attest
ed her popularity and convinced all
that she would be sadly missed by
all in the community. Let us live in
the calm confidence Of meeting her

gers were thrown against their seats
and bruised when the Oklahoma CT
ty-Sapulpa passenger train struck a
local freight of the Frisco near Bris-
tow yesterday afternoon. The pas
senger was running a few minutes
late and was travelling at the rate of
35 miles an hour when the freight
engine was struck.
The passenger left Oklahoma CT
ty about 1925 o'clock Thursday
morning. The curve near Bristow
hid from view the freight engine,
and the passenger plowed it's way
through the small engine, knocking
both from teh track. The crew of
the freight engine, Engineer Rorie
and w. B. Hulsey, were uninjured.
The terrific force of the collision
threw the baggage, mail and three
coaches from the track. The engine
of the passenger left the rails and
turned over. Engineer Westphall,
known as one Of the best employees
of the Frisco, was pinned beneath
the wreckage and seriously injured.
Fireman Ellison, for a time, was
thought to be also injured seriously.
There are bruises on the body and
lower limbs.
Reports in Oklahoma City are that
several passengers were bruised
when thrown, with great force,
against the seats. However, their
injuries were not of such nature as
to require them being brought to the
hospital here. The only record Of in
juries here is to the engineer and
Paul Martin. whose address is given
as Yukon. 1t is believed Martin was
a passenger. He was brought to
st. Anthony hospital and his wounds
were dressed. Later he was re-
leased.
Engineer Wastphall resides at PIT

First reports of the accident were
that several had been killed, and
several seriously injured. The two
ambulances of Marshall and Harper
met and incoming train in the after

Secretary Rountree also visited
Washington and had consultations
with Senator Bankhead, Federal
Road officials, American Automobile
Association representatives, and 9th
ers that are interested in this road.
He reports great interest is being
manifested by senators, members of
congress and wal officials in regard
to the Bankhead Highway, as being
the logical one for a military high
way from Washington to the South.
Many men in public life openly ex-
pressed themselves as being in favor
of Congress making a direct appro-
priation to build this road at once,
from Washington to Atlanta, on to
Memphis, Birmingham to Little Rock
thence to Los Angeles, Calf.
The Metropolitan papers Of the

north. While the quality of basket
ball may not be quite SO good as last
season you may rest assured that there
will be some mighty good games be-
fore the end of the year. Incidentally
there is another phase to the situation
which is that the league may expand
in another season or two and become
the South Atlantic intercollegiate
League. / have reason to believe there
are several colleges in Virginia and
North Carolina that would be very glad
to enter such an organization. We
could have had a much larger league
this winter had we desired. but thought
1t better, under the unusual conditions
that exist, to start with q circuit which
would be as inexpensive as possible.
II mistake not. this league is the be-
ginning Of real basket ball in Wash
ington, and think in future years the
winter will furnish competition Just
as exciting as foot ball in the fall.
