OBITUARY

Sterling o. Gold was born il
Drew county, Arkansas, Dec. z
1885, and died at his home il
Washington, Ark, October 10
1918.
He united with the M. E
church South when only sever
years old, under the ministry OF
his father, Rev. Jno. H. Gold
His father moved to Washing.
ton some twenty-five years age
and here reared his family, all
of whom still live in this vicin-
ity except the oldest son, who
now lives in st. Louis, Mo.
He was married to Miss Ella
Frazier July 16, 1916, who, with
one sweet baby girl, his father
and mother, three brothers and
two sisters, survive him.
Mr.. Colds sudden death was
a great shock to the community,
as he was not thought to be
dangerously i'll until the day be-
fore he passed away.
Sterling had a host of friends
who followed the large process
sion of w. o. WIS to the Pres
byterian cemetery, where his
body was laid away to rest.
The writer has been his pas
tor for about three years, and
| can truthfully say, I never
had truer friend, and one who
stuck closer to his pastor than
he; he was always ready, will
ing and waiting to assist in any
worthy cause, or any one in
need.
The church has lost a useful
member, the community good
business man, the family a true
son and brother, and the dear
wife and baby an affectionate
and loving husband and father.
But we can say "Our loss is
his gain. Look Up" sorrowing
ones; it will not be long until
we will meet him, where part
ing will be no more.
The pains of death are passed,
Labors and sorrows cease,
And life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done,
Praise be thy new employ.
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Savior's joy.
Servant of God, well done,
The glorious warfare's past;
The battles fought, the race is won,
ANA Jnou art -crowneu -at-fast.i
Let faith exalt her joyous voice,
And nowjn triumph sing,
o Grave where is thy victory,
And where, oh Death, thy sting.
His pastor,
B. E. Mullins.

But John l.. failed.

As the twentieth round ended it was apparent that Mitchell, although badly battered, was in a fresher condition that the unmarked Sulli- van. John l.. had weakened him. self moro in rushing Mitchell than he had his foe. All this became ap< parent to the crafty Briton and with round he changed tactics-shifted from the defensive to the offensive. And how he did tear into the weary John L.! asist.
 Mitchell bombarded John l.. with lefts and rights. They landed with all the power of Mitchell's body be- hind them upon the face an body of the American For ten rounds Mitchell continued, trying desperate ly to knock out John L. for the long count But the splendid courage of John L., his superb gameness and his ability to stand up unflinching- ly under merciless punishment, ssv- ed him. nl tt cal
 At the end of the 30th round, Bal dock, seeing that Mitchell, like. Sul- ltvan, had worn himself out by his offensive tactics asked John l.. to call off the bout and have it declared a draw The American beloved a refusal. And so the fight went on. For eight more rounds the tired. weary gladiators strived for victory but each failed. w A b. | And then, as time was about to be called for the 39th round, J0hn L.'s handlers decided that "a draw wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. So they jumped over to Bal dock and told him that they would agree to his earlier proposition. Bel- dock took one look at Mitchell, near collapse in his chair, another look at John Land said: ~ prts

 Again Demonstrates He Is a Deadshot.

While the Wm. $. Hart Company were at Chatsworth Park recently, rear Los Angeles, filming scenes for the new Aircraft Picture in which the Thomas H. Ince star is to appear following Blue Blazes Rawden," it was necessary and desirable to camp out in tents AS a consequence members of the com pany, particularly the feminine ones, were disturbed by the nocturnal serenades of coyotes, hootowls, etc. The former were attracted by the scrap heaps near the chuck wagon and when, one night, Bill awoke to hear sundry cries of dismay, he orept out, fife atrail, seeking the author of the morunful waiIings that had aroused the ladies from thetr slumbers. He saw two shining eye$ through the intense blackness of the night and blazed away Then he returned to his couch and to the arms of Morpheus. In the morning, dead coyote attested to the deadly accuracy of the stars aim.

On the greensward, near Chantilly France, was staged the John l.. Sul Hvan-Charlie Mitchell contest that has such a prominent place in pug ilistic history:
 True to their threats, toughs from the London district turned out in force for this contest and attempted at the outset to frighten the grea, champion It was their hope tC throw fear into the heart of John L. feeling it might district his thoughts from the busienss in hand and give to Charlie Mitchell his chance to whip the American and so win the big bets which Bondonites had placed on their countryman.
 But those fellows reckoned with out one American; a criminal and fugitive from American justice, but withal staunch admirer of John [. and man who insisted on fair play in the Mitchell l-Sullivan contest. That man was none otherTthan Billy Poer ter, internationally Known as bank robber and one of the most danger ous desperadoes known in American history. Poerter, in London when the match was made, had heard about the plot to menace John L. with a show of revolvers and knives at the ringside. So he went along with the crowd that made the trir from England to France.
