Wheaton Township.

The neighborhood was terribly
shocked and grieved when it was
learned that C. E. Jackson had passed
away Saturday morning at n o'clock,
April 9th. Mr.. Jackson had been ill
for about a week with pneumonia and
at first it was thought he would re-
cover, but Wednesday his heart action
became so weak that it was necessary
to give him narcotics to stimulate it's
action. By Friday he had grown so
weak that watchers to his bedside
gave up all hope and he passed away
quietly Saturday morning Is peace
fully as if he had fallen asleep.
BY the death Of Mr.. Jackson the
neighborhood has lost one Of it's most
respected pioneer citizens, a good
neighbor, and a sincere friend. To his
family he was one Of the best of hus-
bands and fathers, affectionate and
kind. He ruled by the law Of kind
ness and was a great lover Of child
rem. Mr.. Jackson had been in poor
health for a couple of years but had
managed his half section farm with
the help Of his two eldest sons. Had
his constitution not been undermined
by continued i'll health he would prob
ably have been spared a few years
longer.

County Schools Receive
State Apportionment

County Superintendent H. E. Layne
has just sent out $4743.89 to the class
flied rural, graded and consolidated

Bottineau county twenty three such

the above amount is the county's ap-

which amounts to nearly two thousand
five hundred dollars.
It is pleasing to note that the
amount received by the graded, rural

county in the state. This amount will
no doubt be materially increased an
other year as many more schools have
been added to the classified list dur
