A Real Children's Day.

A real and genuine Children's Day
Festival was held at the Congrega-
tional church last Sunday morning,
when more than one hundred boys
and girls of the Sunday school pre-
sented in most telling way, "Chil-
dren of the Fathers Kingdom" a
connected program which taught in
a forceful way the great, but often
forgotten truth, that the light of
Gods love is for all races and gen
erations of men. The singing by the
junior choir of nearly forty voices,
with organ and orchestra accomnpai-
ment was one of the pleasing fea-
lures of the service. There are
eighty three babies on the Cradle
Roll of the Sunday school, at this
service, sixteen of this number were
promoted to the Primary Depart
ment and nine others were dedicated
in the rites Of Christian baptism. The
large congregation expressed its ap-
proval and appreciation of the eXer
cises by establishing for the church a
new record in Children's Day offer
ings-giving over forty-five dollars
for Congregational Sunday School
Extension Work. All the partici-
pants and especially those having
had the detail and rehearsal work Of
the program in charge are receiving
many compliments and congratula-
for the deserving success of their pa
tient and painstaking effort, and all
those who were present give the
same verdict and that is, that the
1921 Children's Day as observed by
this church and Sunday school was a
most heartening and banner event.

the touch of his hand nor the sound
of his voice to assure me that he was
still my friend, and that he still had
in common the desire to see our
country served with honor and high
purpose.
He was always a true man, such
men are not SO numerous that they
do not stand out in our range of ac-
quaintance. 1t is not necessary for
me to praise him, to you. You must
be proud to remember him, not as
your brother, alone, but as your long
and faithful, upright and capable
co-laborer 1t is a large legacy, and
priceless.
Please accept my heartfelt sympa-
thy.
Yours sincerely,

A GLAD HOMECOMING.

The managers of the Southwestern
Wisconsin Fair have wisely planned
to make the event this year a Home
Coming Week 1t is to be a reunion
ing not only for those who have gone
out from Mineral Point, but also for
former residents of the country
round about. Our fairs in the past
have been reunions mainly of the
people Of this part of Wisconsin,
With it's homecoming feature, the
Fair of 1921, will witness the gath
ing together of people from far and
near. Let it be glad homecoming
There are thousands not now resid-
ing here who love to speak Of this
place as home. They are bound to
us by ties of friendship, which they
do not want to sever. The reunion
contemplated will renew and
strengthen those ties. To many it
will bring back memories of their
childhood days, and afford them
pleasant visit with old time neigh
bOrs and friends. All who come can
rest assured of a cordial welcome,
and the freedom of the city and
country will be theirs. Invitations
are sent broadcast, and a great gath
ering of people will be the result.
The Committee requests all citizens
to send in lists of persons to whom
they would like invitations to be
sent. Send names and addresses to
w. H. Correll or T. NJ Priestley. Let
us work together to make the Home
Coming what it should be-a glad
gathering of kinsfolk and friends
whom time and circumstances have
separated from each other.

Ny Dear George:-I was panied
to learn through the newspapers Of
the death of your brother Robert.
Memories crowd thick and fast as
l think of the old days, nearly fifty
years ago, when I was a mere boy
you and your brother gave me a lift
along the road when | was trying to
place the old Madison Democrat in
the homes of Mineral Point, and the
friendship then formed has lasted to
the end.
You had a good brother. One Of
the strong men, who forty years ago
gave prestige and character to the
community in which he lived, and
the many honors conferred upon him
showed that the people among whom
he lived so long appreciated his
many excellent qualities. We who
knew him think of these things and
pause in the realization that he is
gone.

GREAT FIELD DAY JULY 4, 1921
Will Present Attractive Program Of Ball Games and Races

Deceased was a man of honor in
every sense Of the word. He gave
his work-his best efforts, dealing
squarely with all who came in con-
tact with him, neglecting nothing
that seemed to him duty, thereby
winning the high esteem of all in
this community and vicinity. He
was a devoted member of ST. Mary's
church and ever ready to contribute
to all good works, and leaves his chill
dren the heritage of an honored
name. The funeral, which was
largely attended, took place Satur-
day morning, with services in ST.
Mary's church. Requiem high mass
was celebrated by Father Weyer
The st. Joseph's society, of which he
was a charter member, attended in a
body. There were many beautiful
floral tributes. The remains were
carried to their last resting place by
six of his grandsons, Stephen De-
muth, Max Demuth, Alois Pittz, Will
bur Pittz, Henry Schaumberg and
Paul Splinter. Interment in ST.
Mary's cemetery. Beside his chill
dren, Mr. Schaumberg is survived by
thirty-eight grandchildren and four
teen great grandchildren. The SYM
pathy of many friends is extended to
the bereaved family.

TRIBUTES OF ESTEEM.

Kind words of coincidence have
come to us in our great sorrow, not
alone from Brother publishers,
whose tributes have been most touch
ing, but from many others as well.
Robert NJ Crawford has gone from
us-one with whom we took counsel
for many years. We mourn, but not
as one without hope. He left a
name more precious than great
riches or worldly honors. A forward
looking man, always interested in
public affairs, the work which he laid
down must be carried on. Associ-
ates of former years have written
kindly and truly of him. We take
the liberty of printing the following
personal letters:
(Supreme Court Justice Burr w.
JoneS)
June 8, 1921.
My Dear Mr. Crawford was
much panied to read of the death of
your good brother.
1t brought back to me the memory
of other days when you and he as
young men were associated with my
self and many others in working for
what we believed to be the cause Of
good government.
We could always count on him as
one who would be loyal and stead
fast.
l can appreciate somewhat, not
entirely, how great is the loss to his
family of one who was so true
Your community and the State
suffers a real loss, and l sympathize
with those who were closely bound
to him by family ties
Yours truly,
BURR w. JONES.

A Beautiful Memorial.

The Dodgeville Monument Works
erected a beautiful monument in ST.
Mary's cemetery last week for the
late John B. Pittz, and the artistic
manner in which this work is eXecu-

ability to render satisfaction, obtain
the good influence of a customer,
and to furnish work which in effec-
tiveness, outranks the price, and de-
fies competition.

has suffered more than their share.
