OBITUARY

The death angel visited the home Of
LAfe Webb on Tuesday night, Nov. 20.
1921 and claimed for it's victim his low
ing wife. Mrs. Bertha Thompson Webb,
aged 20 years. 10 months and ~ days.
Just why this loving wife and devoted
mother was taken we can not tell. Per-
haps to draw some loved one to God.
Oh, how sad It Is to see the heart
broken husband and the dear little ones
left alone, bu. we realize that their
loss is heavens gain.
Never was there more devoted wife
and mother. She bore her suffering 30
patiently.
II can not seem real that those bright
eyes and sweet lips are closed In death.
But bereayed ones prepare 10 meet
dear Bertha where there win be no
moro suffering no good-bys and tears.
We loved her, yes we loved her. but
angels loved her more ana 50 they
called dear Bertha to yonder shining
shore. The golden gates were opened
gentle voice said come and with
farewells unspoken she entered that
sweet home. M. A.

In the State that looks TO be catire,y
feasible, II can be done without any
Increase in taxes. The plan is 70 ia
sue nifty miIlions in State bonds and
build all main roads within i've or six
years. The bonds will mature m 30
years and the yearly income for roads
IN the preser: basis will pay the In
tsfest and principal of these bonds. Ii,
this way the people will gss hard roads
right away and pay for them with the
money they are going to drfbble out
anyway as at present with very little
results.

plaintiffs to reap the benesit OF de-

brought September Is, 1890. Therefore

wells referred to. II placed a load OF
castings on the premises January &c.

coed at once TO drill the well The 9TH

A tale of love and for
tune seeking among the
Wabash pearl fishers, of
the fiat woods and contig-
uous country, in the days
when Terre Haute was
only dot on the map and
Vincennes was the center
of mid-western settlement
and activity. 1t was then
a river of romance, along
which the pearl hunters,
hardy and adventurous
breed, led life no less in
teresting than that of their
strange brethren in occu-
patton In the South Seas
or in far off Ceylon. A
picture of rare genius,
cameo cut in its clearness,
of our grandfathers' days
and before the present
agricultural empire was
founded.
