DIES AFTER SUBMIT
ting TO OPERATION
Young Mother Passes Away
in Hospital. Leaves
Three Babies

Our little city was sorely grieved
Saturday morning when news
reached here of the death of Mrs.
Laurids Dam which occurred at
the hospital in Atlantic the even
ang before after severe operation
which she underwent Wednesday
last. She had been in poor health
for several months, her physician
having advised an operation some
time since but it was not until last
week that she was thought to be
strong enough to stand it. She
rallied after the operation and
seemed to be doing nicely until
Friday when she rapidly sank
away.
Mrs. Eli Dam, deceased, was
born IN Hee, Ringkobing Amt,
Denmark, the 11th Of June, 1883.
She emigrated to U S. A in the
year 1915 and located in Audubon
county. Here she married Mr..
Laurids Dam in 1918, and they
lived first at Audubon, later at
Extra.
In her native country she was
baptized and confirmed in the Lu-
theran church to which faith she
still adhered at her death.
She was the mother Of three
aittle children, ARNOLD, two and
one-half years old; Esther, one
and one-h half years; and Norma,
only two months, all of whom are
left with Their father to mourn the
early bereavement of a dear
mothers loving care.
A brother, Mr.. Jens Olsen, lives
near Hamlin, and an uncle, Rev.
j. j. Kilsig we'll known minister
among the Danes in America, is
now pastor in Denmark.
We lack words to express our
heartfelt sympathy with the be-
reaved husband and his little
motherless children. God has
ssorely afflicted you, brother, but
Christ alone can assure you the
comfort and strength you need in
these trying days Gas thy days,
so shall thy strength be-" (Deut.

SELMA THE BEAUTIFUL

older styles, the place regains it's charming aspect.
 The streets are, as a whole. credit to the municipal authorities past and present The appearance of them is beautiful, and in order to appreciate the peculiar charm of the residential section it is desirable to secure an apartment where the sojourner, in in. tervals of rest, may enjoy the pleasant outlook from the window of his tree shaded abode
 The general view of the city from the watch-tower of one of the public buildings Is, however, more impress sive. It gives a greater idea of the importance of the place from every standpoint. The city is encircled by groves of trees. Choice examples of architecture and gardens are scattered before the vision in picturesque fash ion. They present at once a bewilder- ing mass of color and perspective. A broad expanse of country extends on all sides, whose limits melt away in the mellow sunshine, whose brilliance blending with the greens an, vellows of the landscape seem by the delight full softness of the effect to join the glory of heaven with the beauty of tn. One is spellbound by the mag nificence of the scene presented. The importance of the city is immediately realized, both from a natural and geo graphical standpoint, for there before the vision is Selma adorning the land- scape like beauty spot. The eye glances at grove and garden, and the mind wonders if it has ever conceived anything that can compare with the naturally beautiful city of Selma.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-24
By JAMES E. DONOVAN

0T1HE natural beauty which distin-
 guishes Selma from most cities
 of it's class. is never fully ap- preciated by the transient public. Im- pressed by the importance of their own affairs. visitors to this city often guests of one of the most important centers of the commercial south. Peo- pie nonresident of Selma seldom bear in mind the fact that the plan of the territory in the most fertile region of the state.
 The city proper is built on very compact plan. The streets run north and south, while the avenues traverse the city east and west. The city is charming in it's general aspect, and extends over a level tract of country to the extent of abput two miles in all directions. It has the appearance of a well-kept garden. On the out skirts, however. there are few villas that struggle over a series of fields, so that at the first view one is likely to feel somewhat disappointed. But, after leaving the depot and getting away from the din occasioned by the puffing and grinding of two or three energetic switch engines, the visitor finds himself proceeding along a broad, tree-lined avenue. The branches of the evergreen oaks entwine themselves ove rhead in such way as to form an arch of evergreen foliage. Proceeding some distance along this shaded path, the visitor arrives at what might be called the civic center, for there com pressed within few blocks, are all the main buildings of the city, leach according to it's appointed office be- ing well suited for the transaction of the business for which it has been constructed. The commercial center Is likewise centered about this place, and is, too. veritable hive of com merce. After a few blocks of busi- ness houses in which the modern build ing stands in violent contrast to the
