Memorial To Judge Aston
Gordon Dayton

Judge Aston Gordon Dayton
is dead. The word of his death
Friday morning came as a shock
to many. In the passing of
Judge Dayton the county, state
and nation has lost a valuable
man. All mourn the loss, and
sympathize with the family, for
husband, father and brother
speaks no more. His life in all
walks was an Inspiration, and
while many of us did not think
as he did on few subjects, we
all agree on the great moral and
religious phases of the life just
ended which are the real essent-
ials of living after all and in
our short-sighted9 striving ex-
istence here below may we
gather more of that Christian
fellowship, brotherly love and
manliness exemplified in the
daily life of Judge Dayton, and
cherish these noble principles
for our own good, forgetting all
malice, selfishness and frivolous
things that warp our minds, our
hearts, our souls.

NHE fourth Sunday in Lent was
known in the olden days as


children away from home, with their
new husbands, or wives, and babies,
trekked home, gifts in hand, to honor
their mother.
What would happen in this coun-
try to-day were these customs to be
revived? There wouldn't be trains,
boats or motors enough to go
around; yet it is a worthy old GUS
tom and it's spirit might still be
kept alive were children so minded.
The Lenten fast was formerly
ushered in with the feast Of Collop
Monday. followed by the all-day
feasting Of Shrove Tuesday. The
collops were made Of eggs and bacon,
beef and onions, minced meats,
crumbs, seasoning and other good
things, and they enjoyed wide rep
utation for excellence.
