We are again called upon to report
the death of a friend and class mate,
Mrs. Marguerite SaVin, nee Jackson,
age 26 years. She and her husband
were located in Omaha, Neb., where
on account of an internal trouble she
was taken seriously i'll until death
finally took place. Her remains were
brought to Harrington and funeral
services were held at the home of her
parents near town, with interment at
a Dover cemetery. She leaves besides
her husband, her parents and a bro
ther, and a host of friends to mourn
her loss.
One of the most interesting school
elections ever held in this section took
place last Saturday at the public
school building. J. H. Bullock was un-
opposed for the unexpired term of one
member of the present school board,
who had resigned, while Mrs. Clara
Harrington and Edward B. Rash, were
opposing candidates for the one va
cancy that exister, due to the term Of
Samuel A. Creadick having expired.
The candidates campaign managers
were very busy during the time the
polls were open bringing load after
load of voters to the polls, and until
the final count was given out it SEEM
ed a question as to who would be the
successful candidate. The final vote
taken showed Rash to have $40 votes
and Mrs. Harrington 1876 votes. 1t is
very unfortunate that these candi-
dates should have been opposed to one
another as either of them would have
made excellent members of the school
board. A little difference of opinion
on the issues at stake was the cause
for the opposition.
