PARKTON PARAGRAPHS.
Private Edwin v. Johnson Died at
Camp-Other Deaths-TwO
Marriages.

Correspondence of The Robesonian
Parkton, Nov. 18.-Many have been
the happenings since my last writing
Our town has suffered three deaths.
The first death by the "flu" was Mr..
Henry Ammons, who died Thursday
morning, October %, and the following
morning his wife died, both being in
the prime of life, and leaving five
children, the youngest a little less
than one year old and the oldest about
IL years. They were both buried at
the Partkon cemetery. The funeral
services were conducted by their pas
tor, Rev. J. K. Hall, assisted by Rev.
j. L. Jenkins.
Mr.. Edwin V. Johnson departed this
life Nov. 5 and was buried on the 9th
at the Parkton cemetery. He died in
hospital at Charlottesville, Va, where
he went in training. He, had only
been there; day or SO when he was
taken sick with Influenza and it soon
developed pneumonia and rapidly
grew worse. His brother Mr.. Leo
Johnson of Florence, S. c., immediate
ly went to be with his brother and
later his mother went and were both
: there when the end came. The de-
ceased was one Of our towns best
young men, having given his life for
his country at the age of 25. He
was consistent member of the M. E
church, having served as steward for
several years, also secretary and
treasurer of both church and Sunday
school for number of years. His
place there we feel cannot be filled
AS business man he will be greatly
missed, having been co-partner with
Mr.. Collier Cobb for several years
The writer having been in close touch
with deceased since early ,boyhood
knows whereof he speaks, and can say
he was the best young man he ever
knew. Socially and religiously he
was possessed of a most beautiful
personality, one of the most accom-
modating persons, kind and tender
hearted, and an obedient son. He was
patriotic in that he volunteered, and
gave his life for his country. The
funeral services were held on the 9th
of Nov. conducted at the grave at II
o'clock by his pastor, Rev. w. L.
Maness, assisted by Rev. J. K. Hall,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
Rev. ]. L. Jenkins, pastor of the Bap-
tist church, and Rev. H. B. Porter,
Ellington, who was his pastor for
years, and who made a splendid talk
at the grave relative to the deceased
speaking in the highest terms. We ali
feel we have lost one of our best
friends. The floral offerings were the
greatest and the prettiest we ever
saw anywhere, more than completely
covering the graves of both the de-
ceased and his father. who preceeded
him last March. The pall-bearers
were L. M. Powell, J. L. Lewis, Claud
Jernigan, James Blue, w. E. ELY and
j. c. Lancaster. We extend much
sympathy to the heart-stricken mother
and brother,

Two Persons Slightly
Injured in Auto Crash
AT Thntieth and Dodge

In an automobile crash at the in-
tersection of Dodge and Thirtieth
streets at 6 p. m, Sunday, Mrs, j.
Hykin, 270l Howard street. suffered
a badly lacerated finger and a few
minor bruises, and c. Mozer, 432
South Eleventh street, Lincoln, suf-
fered an abrasion of the forehead.
The Mozer car was going west on
Thirtieth street, and the Hykin car
north on Dodge street Both cars
were moving at normal rate OF
speed, the operators claim, but seeing
that collision was imminent they
became ratified" The force of the
collision carried the Mozer car half
way across the street and jammed il
against a fireplug.
Hykin and his son, Harry. who was
operating the auto, escaped injury
No arrests were made.

0mahan's First Experience on

itaI ReCounted as
Moral Gem.

Omaha men have habit of COM
ing prominently before the public in
many sections of the country. They
can't help tits habit.
For instance, Isidor Zeigler, recent
candidate for lieutenant governor OF
Nebraska and an Omahan, recently
busted" into print in one of the big
papers of the nations capital, the
Washington Herald. The following
is the story that paper printed on
Mr.. Zeigler:
The name Isidor Zeigles doesn't
mean anything perhaps to many
readers Of this column. For their
information, however, we will state
that it belongs to a man and not a

"Isidor Zeigler was a Harvard col
lege student once, and toward the close
of his student career became obsessed
with the notion that he could tell his
fellow-countrymen many things from
the platform. He was sure of it. He
admitted it to Mckinley committee
men and they sent him to remote por-
tons of the Windy City to begin ex-
pounding the doctrine of sound money
and safe tariff.

FORM COMMITTEE
OF VIGIL ANTES
Ten Business Organizations
y Meet to Plan. Ways and
Means to ThWart Auto
Bandits.

The way of the automobile thief
in Omaha is to be made very hard.
First steps to form an organization
to apprehend and prosecute this gen
try in Omaha was formed at meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce at
which a committee to be known as
the Committee on Public Safety was
formed.
The members have not yet been
appointed but it will consist of about
50 men drawn from the following or
ganizations: Omaha Chamber of Com
merce, Automobile club, Associat-
ed Retailers. Rotary club, Automobile
Dealers association, Business Mems
association, Manufacturers associa-
ton, Live Stock exchange, Grain ex-
change and Real Estate board.
This committee will cooperate with
the police, county attorney and other
established agencies for enforcement
Of law. 1t will recommend means of
stopping the traffic in automobiles
and devise and work for the passage
of more drastic laws for the punish
ment of autombile thieves. A penalty
OF 20 years has been suggested to be
written into the state laws for auto
mobile stealing. 1t has also been sug-
gested that an abstract be required
in the sale of every secondhand
automobile.
Quiet operations have been going
on for two weeks in dealing with
automobile thieves and some of Om-
aha's leading lawyers have been ap-
pearing in police court to push cases
against thieves. In the past these
thieves have regarded arrest as rather
joke but the effect of vigorous
prosecution has already been seen
