CAL WILSON DIES
SUDDENLY LAST
MONDAY EVENING

This community was shocked to hear
of the sudden death of Robert Calvin
Wilson, a well-known and highly re-
spected citizen of this community,
which occurred Monday evening, May
9th, at about eight o'clock at his home
in Julesburg. The cause of death was
acute indigestion and heart trouble.
Robert Calvin Wilson was born at
Greenville, Ohio, September 3rd, 1S45,
and was rs years, 8 months and days
of age at time of death. He grew to
manhood at Greenville. He then mov-
ed to Lincoln, Ill.,, where he was unit
ed in marriage to Margaret Jane
Nickel, on the 18th day of October,
1873. To this union was born three
sons and three daughters, Rollie Will
son of Julesburg, Colo; Arthur Will
son, who resides at the old home place
near Marquette, Nebr.; Thurman Will
son of Fort Pierce, Florida; Mrs. Ad-
die Ryan of Aurora, Nebr.; Mrs. Lor-
ena Gressley of Phillips, Nebr.; and
Mrs. Bessie Mcconnell of Heming-
ford, Nebr.
In the spring of 1878 the deceased
and wife, with their then one son an
swered the call of the West and NOV
ed to Hamilton county, Nebr., where
they endured the hardships and pri-
vations of the pioneer homesteader,
and where they lived until the spring
of 1910, when again allured by the
new West, they moved to Julesburg,
Colorado, where the deceased made
his home until the time of death.
Mr.. Wilson became a member OF
the independent Order of Odd Eel
lows more than fifty years ago and
at the time of death was member
of Marquette Lodge No. 2SS located
at Marquette, Nebr.
He was an exceptionally Industrious
man as was indicated by his frequent
westward moves and was for a num-
Der of years one of Hamilton county s
most successful farmers.
The passing of this father and hus-
band leaves to his family and to his
many friends and neighbors an ach,
ing word that will only be understood
when gathered on yonder beautiful
shore when the mysteries of this NOR
tai life are unveiled.
Funeral services will be held this
Thursday afternoon at one O'Clock
from the home, Rev. A. j. Waller Of
ficiating, with appropriate Odd Fellow
ceremonies, and conducted by Austin
& Mccoy. The body will be shipped
tonight to Aurora, Nebr. where in
terment will be made. The remains
will be accompanied by members OF
the bereaved family.

CLUB
SCORE Big HIT
MONDAY EVE.

The Julesbprg Players Club scored
a big hit last Monday evening in the
presentation of that most interesting
and humorous three-act comedy,
Nothing But The Truth" at the Hip
podrome theatre, this entertainment
being given for the benefit of the
Julesburg Woman's Club.
Those who missed this entertain-
far above the average and one OF
the best home talent plays the writ
er ever witnessed. Those who parti-
cipated had worked hard and every
thing went off very smoothly, the au-
dience demonstrating their apprecia-
ton by hearty applause at numerous
intervals. ..5
Each member of the cast portrayed
their respective roles in very nd
mirable mannef--in fact it was IN
all-star cast, and Julesburg should in
deed be proud to have such remark
able talent. Nothing But The
Truth, we believe is the best yet Of
fered by the Players Club, which is
to say that it was of very high
class nature.
The S. C. H. S. orchestra under the
leadership of Prof. V. H. Rowland
furnished music.
The same cast presented Nothing
But The Truth" at Chappell Wednes-
day evening.
The Julesburg Players Club is an
organization that is deserving of a
great deal of credit. The funds de-
rived from each entertainment has
been given to some worthy cause,
the members of the Club deriving no
financial gain whatsoever. Those
who have participated in the several
plays have necessarily been required
to devote q considerable amount of
time and energy in their undertake
ings. Their efforts should indeed be
appreciated by the citizens of the COM
munity.

SENIOR CLASS OF '2l

Next week is Commencement Week
in the Sedgwick County High School,
Friday, May goth being the last day
of the school year. ...
The graduating class will be the
largest in the history Of the high
school, numbering twenty-six. An
unusual feature seen in the gradual
ing class is the number of boys, sew
enteen. Twenty-one graduates will
receive their diplomas at the main
school in Julesburg and five will fin
ish at the Branch school in Sedgwick.
Sedgwick County now has three
high schools doing accredited high
school work. two branches being es-
tablished, one at Sedgwick and the
second at Ovid. These branch schools
are offering the same work in aca-
demic subject. as the main school at
Julesburg and students taking their
work in the branch schools receive
full credit.
The Sedgwick school is occupying a
fine new building costing approx
mately $4,000. Manual training, do
nestle science, business subjects, and
a full four-year academic course is
offered. A fine auditorium and gym
nasium offer splendid opportunities
for the social and athletic side of
school life.
Laboratories for chemistry, physics
and other natural sciences have been
provided. In the auditorium a booth
for moving picture machine and a
library booth for reference books adds
to the convenience of the study hall.
1t will no longer be necessary for par
ents in the west end of the county to
feel that the high school is too far for
convenience.
The Ovid school is a two grade
high school at present, which is, how
ever separate from the grade work.
AS fast as the school grows provis-
ions will be made to care for students
at Ovid as thoroughly as at Julesburg
and Sedgwick.
Much credit is due to the teachers
and patrons of Sedgwick and Ovid
for the hearty support and effort
they have given to develop these new
schools along right lines. The main
school at Julesburg has had additions
in the way of fine auditorium, with
splendid stage, picture booth and
library; splendid gymnasium with
running track, dressing rooms for
boys and girls, together with all the
conveniences needed in modern
school. In addition, two dormitories,
one for boys and one for girls, strict
ly modern in every respect, together
with cafeteria accommodations for
boarding dormitories. Places have
been provided for rural boys and girls
who live in the parts of the county
too far from a school for driving. The
dormitories will be regulated and su-
pervised by a matron and members of
the school faculty. A splendid fea-
ture about the arrangement is the
fact that the dormitories are sepa-
rate not only from each other. but
they have no direct connection with
the main school.
Full courses in Academic and Com
mercial, scientific, domestic and man.
ual arts are offered. An agricultural
course has been started and full
equipment for this course will be add,
ed if enough students are registered
for the work.

HOSPITAL Is new
PROJECT FOR
JULESBURG

A new indication of the progress
beng made by Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county is shown in the proposal
to establish y general hospital, to be
located here in the county seat.
That this hospital is to be estab-
lished is fixed fact. The broad,
general outlines have been fully ar
ranged and the details, while still
somewhat hazy, are being rapidly
worked out. and once these have been
ceomprehensively developed, there will
be nothing more to stand in the way
of the fruition of the plans.
The advantages Of a local hospital
are so apparent that they need only
mention to be clearly grasped by
all.
A local institution of this kind will
be of great help to give skilled medi-
cal attention and scientific nursing to
many emergency cases, which arise
in every locality and in which only,
too often. swift and prompt assist
ance alone means the saving of a life.
Furthermore, the question of money
saving is very vital to every man un-
der the existing financial stringency,
and it is along this line that the pro-
ject should appeal to every citizen. To
call in trained nurse from distant
city means her railroad fare must be
paid in addition to her regular fee,
which add up considerably from that
standpoint alone. And if the patient
must be taken to another locality for
medical attention, the same conditions
arise and the local hospital will pre-
cisely serve to eliminate these over.
head expenses, which neither add to
the cure Of the patient nor to the
economy of the purse.
Nor is there an element lacking
which appeals to our civic and local
pride. Our position, geographically
considered, is ideal for hospital
From north and south, east and west
Julesburg draws upon large produc-
tive and favorable territory for just
such a venture, and no better boost
for our locality can be undertaken
than to advertise that we own hos
pital, well regulated and properly
equipped to care for those who are
sick and distressed.
1t is therefore a good proposition to
get behind this movement with the
good will of every citizen, to aid in
whatever way he can to push the en-.
terprise so that our county will stand
in the forefront with an institution
which will appeal to our pride and
economy as well.
The Grit-Advocate will keep its
readers fully informed regarding the
progress of the hospital and by next
week we hope to print the constitu-
ton, which will be the broad basis
upon which the working plans shall
be grounded.
! In the meantime let us work up ar
enthusiasm for the Julesburg Hospit.
al; let us boost the plans as outlined
and swat the Knocker.
