Come Home

You'll want a war map hang
ing on the wall, so they can point
out the places which they know
about. In fact, every family
should have one of the latest
maps for home use, and every
school should be provided with
one in each class room. Teach
ers should secure one or more
and have them ready when school
opens, for nothing will be of
more real interest or pleasure
than thesstudy of the war map if
you have one hanging on the wall.

UP-TU-DATE MILL
IN JASPER

1t was the good fortune of the
News man to have look over
the Blue Spring Mill at Jasper
Tuesday. The process used, the
Marvel process. is excellent,
and a most direct way of making
good flour. The millers, Messrs.
Gillian and Smith, seem to be
onto their job, too. and the plant
is running on good time, making
excellent -four for the farmer and
merchant Electric power is us-
ed. which is a very great advan-
tage in itself. The concern also
grinds corn, and guarantees a
good quality of meal. Jasper is
fortunate in having such an ex-
cellent mill located in its limits.

MISS SARAH w. ADAM
PASSES AWAY SUNDAY
One of Canaans Most Beloved
and Highly Respected
Citizen

The community was shocked and
grieved to receive on Sunday the an
nouncement that at one o'clock of
that morning Miss Sarah Walker
Adam had passed on into the eternal
home. For about a week Miss Adam
had been i'll and, while some anxiety
was felt for her, yet her recovery
was expected because of her remark
able vitality. Her death casts great
shadow over the whole community,
as she was respected and beloved by
all. In fact she has occupied a posi-
ton of quiet but strong leadership
in the community; and it is to be
doubted whether any one ever exer-
cised a greater influence in the town
along the lines of culture, character
and refinement. The combination of
wide reading and refined tastes with
common sense and democratic SYM
pathies, and her inheritance of the
traditions of the most influential
families in the towns history gave
her position of leadership which
she in her modesty, probably, never
realized. +
Miss Adam was born April %,
1886, in the home in which she died,
home which had been the family
home for three generations but which
will for years be associated with her
and memories of her gracious and
interesting hospitality, will always be
associated with the place, a home of
refinement and distinction, the CEN
ter of charming and elevating life.
She came of distinguished stock
along both lines of her ancestry. Her
father, William Adam, was a man of
marked personality, the parsonage of
the community in his day, man who
took great interest in the history and
traditions of the town and whose own
! family life rooted back into the
towns best life. Miss Adams
mother was Charlotte Lawrence
and she too was a person of strong
character ard fine inheritance.
Through this inheritance Miss Adam
was descended from the first settler
of the town and she too always had
deep interest in the towns history
and traditions.
She had collected material fora
history of the town and had written
considerably concerning it. Her home
was full of interesting relics of the
earlier days and she never tired of
showing them and of narrating in
teresting and humorous anecdotes
from the past.
