Mrs. Mary Cummfns Wilson died at
her home in Lexington on Sunday
morning at o'clock and the remains
we're laid to. rest at St. Stephens
churchyard Monday at noon, the Rev.
A.. q. Obenschain conducting the SER
vices. Mrs Wilson was a hightoned
Christian woman and was held in high
esteem by all who knew her. She was
80 years Of age.
Mrs. Wilson was born in the Dutch
Fork Of Lexington county, March %,
1912. At the age Of Is she was con-
firmed a member Of the Lutheran
church, of which she remained a loyal
and faithful member until her death.
He was the eldest of four sisters and
at tho death of their mother, she be-
came a mother to the other three.
Even when Sherman's army invaded
our State and their home, she stayed
with her younger sisters, kept them in
the house with her and no doubt kept
the house from being burned. She bore
the many insults heaped upon her by
the soldiers because of the love she
had for her home and sisters. She was
the faithful and devoted wife of the
man to whom she was engaged before
his enlistment in that noble army Of
the Confederacy, notwithstanding
that during his faithful service he lost
his right arm, she was true to her
promise to marry him and was loyal
to him until their separation, which
was caused by his death some four
teen years ago.
No less faithful was she to her
childaen and grandchildren. AS long
as she lived she had the keenest inter-
est in the welfare Of those around
her. There are two sisters now living
who well remember how often she
came to their home in times Of sick
ness and death. All her neices and
nephews knew aunt Mollie" as one
who was always ready to come and
minister to their needs when they
were sick. This noble trait Of hers
was not confined to her own family,
for there are hundreds Of living wit
nesses and possibly more who are not
living who would be glad to testify to
|the truth Of this statement.
The beautiful floral tribute together
with the shutting down of the mill for
three hours was evidence Of the es-
TEEN in which she was held by the
community in which she spent the
last % years of her life.
She is survived by five children, as
follows: Mrs. G. W. Duncan, Colum-
bia; Mrs. w. E. Meyer, Darlington;
Mrs. D. w. Denny, Vaucluse; Miss
Alice Wilson and Mr.. J. c.. Wilson,
Lexington.

FINDS GERMANY
 WORKING HARD

Sheffield Eng. Nov. 21.-Lord Hal dane, who was in Germany a, week or so ago, says he found the Germans working hard. They had put aside all thoughts of armaments because they realized that armaments did not pay.
 They realized, however. the some thing which would pay was the appli- cation of the science which they had learned before the war and which they would have applied in peace if they had not been interfered with by small military party.
 Now they were determined to be free from interference of the military party. The output of scientific books had become enormous All classes of people were working hard, and un employment hardly existed.
 They had no money except paper which had badly depreciated, and to restore their normal condition they had found work by taking in other peoples washing. He said he saw Q large number of ships from Tyneside being repaired in German dockyards because German dockyards could do the work cheaper than the British

buildings etc, your home place will
look seedy unless you have some
scheme for keeping it neat. There
are many disorderly people, who on
visiting a town center always buy
chewing gum, candy, fruit, and other
small eatables. This stuff is sold
in bags and fancy containers. The
majority Of people, on eating their
candy or popcorn, will throw away
the bag into the street. AS this stuff
collects it gives place miserably
untidy appearance.
Little comes from other sources
Some of it drops out of trucks and
wagons. Some merchants allow their
employees to throw sweepings out on
the sidewalk, or else out of back
door, whence the wind may blow it
into the street.
In many places they do something
to remedy that condition by having
waste paper. cans placed along the
streets. 1t is a good scheme. But
sometimes merchants will fill these
cans with sweepings from their stores
so they can hold nothing else.
People ought to be just as much
ashamed to litter the streets of their
home town, as they would be to al
low waste paper to collect on their
palor floor ut home. Children should
be taught in schools never to do this
thing But even with all the instruc.
ton possible, there will always be
some Doors and rowdies who will form
this coarse and slovenly habit. The
live town must always spend some
money in having litter collected re-
gularly out of the streets. In some
places children are organized to do
it as a matter of town loyalty. 1t
would be fine task for them here
in Julesburg.

MANY REPORTERS

FOR THISPAPER

No doubt the readers of the Grit
Advocate have noticed that one of the
features of the paper is the weekly
correspondence from various sections,
giving the news of these commun-

portant feature in our efforts to
make the Grlt-Advocate a real news
paper of wide circulation. At the
present time We have regular report
ers at Big Springs, Venango, Ovid,
Sedgwick, Prairie View, Southwest
Table, Pleasant Hill, Beachville. We
appreciate the cooperation that we
are receiving from these news gath
erers. which makes it possible for the
drit-Advocate to publish more live
news than any other paper in this en-
tire section. We have a large list of
subscribers in these various commun-
tiles, and it is our honest endeayor
TO give them the very best news ser
wee possible. We indeed appreciate
the numerous new subscriptions we
are receiving from week to week.
which is all the more of an incentive
for US to make the Grit Advocate a
paper worthy of loys! support.

TWO SPOTS

Organized labor. which wants the
same pay fsr eight hours work that
the farmer gets for II to ii hours,
thinks the farmers should cooperate
in putting over the labor program.
Some Of these people who are too
tired to attend community meetings
and do public work, are the same ones
who complain that country life is too
dull and gives them no outlet.
The man who renders good ser
vice, and advertises it enough so that
people know what he is-doing is not
worrying about obstacles to his bust
ness success.
