LAMPLICHTERS HAVE FUN

The members Of the Lamplighters'
Class of the M. p. Church had big
time last Monday evening. The oc-.
casion of it all was backward
party" the boys and girls being sup
posed to put on their clothes after
that fashion as much as possible,
which was quite lot, according to
our informant. AS a result some
very ludicrous situations were Gre
ated. Of course, some of the old
folks will say that the boys and girls
were not half as backward about
dressing backward as they are about
dressing forward at getting up time
in the morning. But that had abso-
lutely nothing to do with the good
time that was gotten up on this fes-
tive occasion. The invitations said:
''the organ will peel out potatoes, ac-
companied by solos, duets, trios and
quartets; not moment will be lost.
So, it appears, that in the argument
as to who should peel the potatoes
they left it to the organ Una could
have guessed this right from the
start because it was up to the boys to
prepare the eats). The eggs were all
backward, too, which was comfort.
The committees were as follows: !:
Eats-Chef Peg, Leg Hen, chief pota-
to masher; Chef Tangle Tooth Hike,
chief coffee grinder; Chef Hamburg
Palmer, irish stew expert. Plate
scrapers - Slippery Tongue Cum
mings, Windy Reed. Entertainment
-Snipe Shooter Pierce, railroad ex-
pert; Robbins Jones, speed king
Chesty Stevens, advice on all sub
jects; Hard Harris, river fisherman;
Bray Eccleston, lady's man. Music
-Warbling trio-Burt M. Littlefield,
Yodeling Wm., Shimmy Swihart. 1t
will not be necessary to expatiate
further to prove that is was sure
nuf good time.

OBITUARY
Scott

Scott
William A. Scott, well known
resident of this locality for many
years, met a sad and tragic death at
about 1880 o'clock last Friday even
ing, when he was struck while on the
trestle of the Michigan Railway by
an interurban car and instantly kill
ed. 1t appears that he had been to
the north part of town to engage a
man to plow his garden and on re-
turning took the interurban right of
way instead of the street. He was
considerably crippled as result Of
previous accidents and it is supposed
that when. he saw the glare of the
headlight of the approaching car he
became blinded and got down on his
hands and knees and attempted to
crawl to safety. He was in this posi-
tion when first seen by the motor
man, whose car (north-bound) had at
that time attained such speed that
it was impossible to stop it in time
to avoid the accident. AS a conse-
quence Mr.. Scott's body was hurled a
distance of forty feet or more, to
the bank at the end of the trestle, his
skull being crushed and other severe
injuries inflicted. The motorman
stopped his car as soon as possible,
then went back, and, on ascertaining
that the victim was probably dead,
sent for a physician and justice of
the peace, who, on arrival, found
that this was the fact. Mr.. SCOTS
tragic death terminated series of
severe accidents of which he had been
victim and which had afflicted him
greatly for several wears
William A. Scott, son of Robert
and Christina Scott, was born in Bin
brook, Canada, April II, 1857, and,
consequently, lacked but few days
of being Ga years old. He moved
from his birthplace to Flint, with his
parents, in 1865 and from there the
family moved to the farm three miles
northwest of Clio which was their
home for many years. In 1900 he
was united in marriage to Fannie j.
Borton, of Flint, who passed away
in 1906. Mr.. Scott resided with
his mother at his farm home until
about two years ago, when they
bought residence in Clio which they
occupied at the time of his death.
The deceased was most highly re-
garded and his aged mother and 9TH
er relatives will have, in their be-
reavement, the sincerest sympathy of
all who know them. Besides his
mother, Mr.. Scott is survived by five
sisters and three brothers, as follows
Mrs. j. D. Anderson and Mrs. F. A.
Runnells, of Clio; Mrs. Alva Stevens,
of Flint; Mrs. Orville Reed, of Birch
Run; Mrs. Augusta Fent, of Mont
rose; John w. Scott, Robert L.
Scott and George w. Scott, all of
Clio. Funeral services were held
from the NJ. E. Church, Monday af-
ternoon, and were largely attended
by friends and neighbors of the fam
lily, several of whom came from dis
tant places Rev. A. T. Camburn Of
ficiated, and the remains were laid at
rest in Woodlawn cemetery.

TAXES WERE DIFFERENT

An interesting study in contrasts,
as regards taxation, is afforded by
an old tax receipt brought to our Of
flee by Earl Gillett. On certain
quarter section of land, now owned
by Isaac Gillett, the state and county
tax in 1856 amounts to $4.04. In
this year of grace, 1920, the tax
paid on this same land was probably
more than fifty times as much.

Systematically been attacking has been
doing for months. While The Evening
News has been coming out with its
baseless attacks upon the Industrial
Commission and Commissioner Nor
row, these men have been giving their
time to putting Pensacola on the map.
In making it's suggestion that the
mayor call together a committee to
meet at the city hall at a convenient
date, after giving public notice, and
that the public be invited to attend
this meeting, The News is suggesting
the very thing that the Industrial Com
mission asked for on December first,
through the Industrial Commissioners,
and which was fatty refused.
No doubt the Industrial Commission
will be glad, however, to join in such
a meeting, even at this late day, and
The Journal now, as always, stands
ready to do anything IN its power to
aid Pensacola in arriving at any sat
isfactory solution of its present dock
problem, provided that The Journal
believes that these are to the best in
terest of all the people Of Pensacola,
and not to some small faction or pri-
