Relolutions of Respect.

We, the undersigned committee of
the Presbyterian Sunday school,
beg to submit this resolution upon
the death of Miss Mamie Hamilton,
a member of this Sunday School and
teacher in the primary department
for many years:
Miss Mamie Hamilton departed
this life on August IL, 1921, in hos
pital in Memphis, Tennessee, after a
short illness. She was born and
reared in Union City, and lived here
all her life. She was faithful, de-
voted member of the Southern Pres
byterian Church.. and loyal and
faithful member of the Sout hern
Presbyterian Church, and loyal and
faithful member of this Sunday
School and one of it's most efficient
teachers. Her faithful and devoted
life to the cause of her church and
Sunday schol is worthy of emulation;
her unwavering faith in the Christ
that died on Calvary commends her
beautiful, consistent life to all mem
bers of this church, and beautiful
lesson to the world. Faith, integrity
and devotion to right was part of
her very being.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Presbyterian Sunday school of Union
City that we have lost one of our
faithful, efficient teachers and mem
bers; that we will endeavor to emu
late her noble and devoted life; that
we commend her life not only to this
church and school but to ell men.
That we extend our sympathy to
the bereaved mother, brother and
sister and that we spread this reso-
ultion on the minutes of our Sum
day school in memory of her that we
all loved; and that the secretary of
this Sunday school make and present
to the family copy of this resolu-
tion as a token of our love and es-
TEEN for the departed one, and our
sympathy to the bereaved family.

More homes have recently been
completed, or are now in course of
construction in Pennington than have
been built here in the past five years.
Several very attractive and modern
homes are among the number.
Wayman Grow, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Crow, of Libertyville, was
brought this week to the home of his
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Grow, on
College Avenue, and a serious but
successful operation for mastoids was
performed.
The grand jury, which has been in
session since the l4th inst, is still
pursuing their Investigations into re-
ported law Violations in St. Francois
county. No indictments have yet been
returned, and nothing has leaked out
as to the progress of their work.
Miss Virginia Topping, who is at
the head of music improvision of the
Esther school, spent the week end
with her aunt, Mrs. Lloyd. She will
spend the Christmas season with her
parents, DR.. and Mrs. M. H. Topping,
who recently moved from Flat River
to Marshall, where the Doctor has
been appointed superintendent for
the State Institution for Feeble
Minded.
Rev. R. L. King, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, spent Thanksgiving
in Charleston, where he expected to
witness the foot ball game between
the teams at that place and Sikeston.
1t was also Rev. Kings purpose to
the winning team for a game
to be played here at an early date
with the Pennington High School
eleven, of which he is the coach. 1t
will certainly be impossible for an
and successful team to re-
fuse such challenge, as the Farm
ington team has not so much as been
hard pressed-hardly scored on-dur-
ing the entire season. 1t is of real
championship class.
The Times has but recently been
of the leasing of the Bonnie
Terre Star-News-Register by E. J.
Weininger, recently of St. Louis, who
is practical printer and newspaper
man. The former editor, l. L. Page,
is in Colorado with his wife, whose
health will perhaps not permit Of her
return to this country. The Times is
pleased to welcome Bro. Keininger to
the st, Francois county newspaper
field, as he has the appearance Of be-
ing q real mans man, and if he will
CUT out and retain only oRe-tfird Of
the present name of his paper, we
know of absolutely no reason why he
should not succeed abundantly.

LENA MAY BELKNAP

Lena May, beloved daughter of
Norman and Fannie Belknap. was
born June 20, 1905, and departed this
life Nov. Is, 1921, at 1850 a. m. Her
last illness was short and her sudden
death came as a shock to her family
as well as to the neighborhood.
At the age of ten years, while prac-
ticing songs for an entertainment,
she suddenly lost her voice, and al
though several specialists tried to help
her, she never regained it, and spoke
thereafter. only in a whisper. She
was never strong after this, and at
tended school only when her health
permitted. r~
Realizing the need of an education
and full of ambition that seemed too
great for so frail a body, when school
opened in September, and she was
physically unable to attend, she pro-
cured her school books and studied
faithfully and earnestly at home.
These studies she had to give up
three weeks before her death.
Passionately fond of music, she
gave promise Of being a musician. In
her home she was her mothers right
hand. In fact she crowded into the few
short years of her life, the work and
accomplishments that might well
grace the life of an older person.
Despite the affliction and the shad-
ow which the loss of her voice must
have cast upon her life, she was al
ways cheerful, always busy, and never
complained when suffering even to
her own family. She was we'll be-
loved by all who knew her, and to US
her death seemed untimely. but the
Heavenly Father, who doeth all
things well, found it best to call this
fair young life to the home that is
eternal.
She leaves to mourn her death, a
host of friends and relatives, a fa-
ther and mother, four sisters, Gladys,
Edna, Naomi, and Norma Jean, and
two brothers, Raymond and Leo.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
Masonic cemetery at Bismarck We'd
nesday at 2 o'clock. Services were
held by Rev. Akers at her home III
Bonnie Terre.
Dear Lena will be sadly missed by
her mother and father and host OF
friends who mourn her loss. The
family extends their heartfelt thanks
to their friends and neighbors for
their kindness during the sadness oc-
casioned by this loss. A Friend.
With grateful hearts we wish to
thank our friends for the many kind
nesses shown during the illness and
death of our daughter, Lena; for the
beautiful floral offerings, and tributes
of love and respect, shown by oul
neighbors and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Belknap
and Family.
