A Good Christian Mother Has Re.
spOnded to Her Last Call.

Mrs. Herman Smith, who has been
i'll with liver trouble for the past two
weeks passed away at the family re-
sidence Saturday morning at 1910.
She had been troubled with enlarge
ment of the liver for the past year.
She will be greatly missed at the fam
lily Preside where loving husband
and nine grown-up children mourn her
presence and excellent counsel. She
was a good Christian woman who low
ed her family and was devoted to their
every want.
The deceased was born in Canada,
raised to womanhood, and educated
there. Came to Wisconsin, where she
was married to Mr.. Herman Smith
81 years ago. After their marriage
they lived at Arpin, Wood county, and
later moved to this city, in 1901 where
they have ever since resided.
Mrs. Smith is survived by her hus-

The daughters are: Mrs. F. E. Wei

The funeral services were held at

Reding delivered a eulogy upon the
deceased that was very creditable to
her as a wife, mother and Christian
character. Her virtues were many
and her christian example can well be
emulated. She was loved and admir-
ed by her near neighbors and friends.
To know her, was to love her for her
many excellent qualities of head and
heart. The floral offerings were many
and beautiful and expressive of the
love her friends bore her. A good wo-
man has gone to her rest. Burial was
made in Calvary cemetery.

BIG CITY JOB
VACANT;
SEEKING MAN
WANTED:-A new City Engineer,
who can take hold and put over the
biggest paving proposition attempted
by any city in central Wisconsin this
year.

Such as the foregoing may or may
not be inserted by the city of Grand
| Rapids in the near future in an at
tempt to secure a man to take the
| place of City Engineer, A. T. Thomp-
son, who has announced that he is to
resign in the near future to enter in

Der Of the Mathis Construction com
pany, contractors.
At the present time Mayor Briere
has no one in mind for the Job, and is
uncertain whether or not he can find
a man who can hold down the Job as
efficiently as has the present incum-
bent.
Mr.. Thompson's work in this city
has been thorough and was the means
of saving the city several thousands
of dollars on the big paving project
here last season. Had he chosen last
year, Mr.. Thompson might have let
the city work, but as materials were
out of sight he pitched in and did
the job himself experimenting a big
crew of men and turning off big street
ches of work in record time. The crew
Of workmen assembled by him were
pronounced by experts to be the best
gang in the state.
The Mathis company secured the
contract for all of the county roads
to be built this season under the bond
issue, the letting of which occurred
Thursday morning, at the court house
The contract secured by the COM
pany will amount to about S187, 000,
according to the figures submitted.
Work will be commenced on the road
north Of this city, and lies within the
city limits. The stretch is about one
mile long Another stretch of 2.7
miles will be built in Sigel, and third
project of 2.5 miles near Marshfield
This last job may be extended into the
city provided the people up there wish
to pay the cost.
Mr.. Thompson will be general man
ager of the company, and the other
stockholders are l. NJ. Mathis, big
land holder, j. 3. Arpin, who is also
largely interested in real estate and
in drainage contracts. Claire Mathis

AUTOMOBILE PAINTING

Perhaps it is not known that Hugo
Lind, the painter and decorator is es-
tablishing an excellent reputation as
an automobile painter. He is located
in a brick building, one block north of
Grand avenue. His workmanship is
commented on by those who have had
work done there as being as good as
could be done in the larger cities.
Whenever you want your auto painted
remember Hugo as the boy that will
do it right. A shop of this kind is a
credit to the city as we'll as the own
err. Many high priced cars from out
of town are being painted here.
