In the death of "Dick" Nippert the
city of Paris and his many friends
lose one of Natures noblemen, il
ever there was one so fittingly des-j
cribed. To his friends his friendship
unselfish kind, and he was in his ele-, {
ment when doing something for their
pleasure. He was man of the high
est character, of happy disposition,
and his friends were without num-
Der. One of his greatest pleasures
was to come to Paris twice veal and
mingle with the friends of his boy
hood days. He loved Paris and its
people, among whom the days of his
youth was spent. In his death the
Grim Reaper has harvested splen-
lid life. Paris mourrs him dead,
out will keep his memory alive. Es-
oecially will this be true of the small
band remaining here who were
at the old Paris City
school, where he became 4 favorite-
,y the very qualities that endeared
him to others in later life. Peace to I
his ashes! IL
