SUSPENDED MENTALITY

L
The mental reproduction Of inn
pressions or thoughts previously en-
tertained and the recognition Of them
as belonging to previous experience
constitutes what psychologists term
memory. The lack Of retention Of
localisation or recognition is some
times very aggravating, provoking
and irritating. But we are wandering
from our subject and the above is
simply ex parte. What we intended
to narrate was, that when ]. N.
tSport) Fitzgibbon started for home
last night, he remembered that he
was living in the Seaton row only
after be had vainly tried to break in
the door at his former home on End
street. Curtain!!

anv friends of Mrs / F.

The many friends of Mrs. ]. F..
Maurer were greatly shocked last
Thursday afternoon to hear Of her sud-
den death at her home in Lamar. She
had been in poor health for months
and several months ago went to Cali
fornia in hopes that the climate would
help her. She had just returned on
the previous Saturday with Mr.. Maur-
er and while her condition was known
to be unimproved, still no immediate
been about the house all morning and
had not complained of any trouble
The attack came suddenly in the mid
die of the afternoon and she passed
ly had time to get to the home be-
fore she was gone. Mrs. Maurer had
been resident of Lamar for several
years and was much loved by large
circle of friends. She was a woman
of strong christian character devoted
to her home and family She leaves a
hubsand, two children and other rel
atives to mourn her loss and the deep
est sympathy Of all goes out to them
at this time. The funeral service was
held on Sunday afternoon and was at
tended by large gathering of friends
who accompanied the remains to their
last resting place in Riverside ceme-
terry.

Jerry Downing Sells Out

J. A. Downing, who is a Lamar
pioneer and has for many years been
agent of the Continental Oil Co. in this
territory, has recently sold out all his
interests here. Baxter Church some
time since bought a half interest in
his oil business and last week Will
Davis purchased the other half. Z. T.
Hoggatt purchased his fine residence
property on Second street and moved
in this week, Mr. and Mrs. Downing
moving temporarily to the Ray resi-
dence next door. They expect in two
weeks to move to Wisconsin and join
the boys on the farm. The move is
made because Mr.. Downing's health re-
quires a lower altitude. No couple in
our city is better known or more re-
spected and liked, and the sincere
best wishes of a large circle of warm
friends will 60 with them to their new
home.

Blocking Improvements

The city council at its meeting on
Tuesday evening considered the ques-
tion of closing up the alleys in the
Bank addition in southeast part Of La
mar and decided that they would not
grant the petition of the lot owners.
Several blocks Of land have been pur-
chased there by business men who de-
sire to form a restricted addition where
only good houses could be built, and
handsome special improvements would
be made turning it into real boule-
varde and making it the beauty spot
Of our city. Closing up the alleys was
necessary to their plans and as no OBJ
lection has ever been made to closing
alleys where all the property holders
unite in the petition no opposition was
expected. The ordinance passed on
first reading and was published once
but failed to pass on final vote. AS
all the council were not present there
is still possibility that the vote may
be reconsidered, and the citizens per-
mitted to make the improvements ac-
eording to plans.

Quick Returns

As an example Of the rapid increase
of farm values in the Lamar territory
and the ease Of making sales, it is re-
ported that Anthony Gardner last Fri
day bought the NWk Of 36-21-47 in
May Valley for 5000 per acre and the
first Of the week sold it to f. ]. Wag-
ner for s212.5O per acre. Mr.. Gardner
shows his faith in land in that section
by paying $4,000 per year cash rent
for 160-acre farm.

H. Breon, who two years ago pur-
chased ranch near Queen Beach. has
out one hundred acres of millet, corn,
sudan grass and cane this season that
is said to be one of the finest crops
in this section. He will easily realize
several times what his land cost him
on the one seasons crop. He planted
and cared for it without help. He has
also a fine garden furnishing every
thing of the kind for his own use and
much to sell.
