YOUNG MOTHER DIED
TUESDAY NIGHT

One of the saddest deaths for some
time recorded in this vicinity was
that of Mrs. Leroy Bennett who died
Tuesday night from blood poison.
She was taken i'll about two weeks
ago and it was thought from the
beginning of her illness that the
chances for her recovery were re-
mote. All that medical skill, care
and attention could do was done but
to no avail.
Louella Gordon, daughter of Ely
Gordon was born March Z, 1898. Her
mother died about IA years ago and
she was left to take care of her
younger sister and brothers. She
kept house for her father until her
marriage to Leroy Bennett, Decem-
ber oath, 1920. After that they liv-
ed with the groom's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Bennett for a year, after
which they went to housekeeping ON
a farm adjoining the groom's par
ents. On December 25th, 1921,
baby daughter was born to this union
who was named Ellen Virginia, who
is left with the husband, and who will
greatly need the care of this dear
mother. Her father and three broth
ers and one sister also survive.
Mrs. Bennett attended high school
here two years and at Salisbury two
years where she graduated few
years ago. She united with the
Methodist church at Adams Chapel
about 5 years ago, and has remain
ed an honored and useful member
in that faith. Through her cheer
full and pleasing manners and her
numerous accomplishments she was
held in high esteem by all who knew
her. Always a lover of home and
possessing thorough knowledge of
home-making.
Especial condolences are extended
% the young husband and more par
.iculariy to the little motherless
babe who will not know a mothers
are.
Funeral arrangements have not
'een completed at the time of the
Courier going to press.

NEW DEPOT AT MACON

The Wabash passenger station was
ushered into service and the firzt
train last week made its stop at the
new station instead Of the old coach
that has been used for q depot for
several years. AS has already been
stated the new building is a beautiful
structure, modernly equipped and a
credit to the town and the railroad
which it win serve in the future.
Hereafter Wabash passengers to
and from Macon win have the con-
venience and comfort Of. one Of the
best stations to be found anywhere
on the system. The old passenger
coach that has been used for q depot
has been the source Of many an
amusing story Of how strangers mis-
took It for the train they were ex-
peeting to leave town on, and ran
themselves out Of breath trying to get
there before Il started. But ell the.
ineonvenienees Of the long walk are
10rgutren when the new one was pur
into service.

FARM NOTES
Farm Organizations

! Farm Organizations
| This is the season of the year fol
revivals. We need both religious anc
agricultural revivals. Church mem.
bers and others must be brought to-
gether occasionally and given an in
spiration which comes from united eff
forts in working for the development
of the religious side of our nature.
Farm organizations sometimes slip
back cog or two and must have
special work done in order to keen
them up to the highest point of acti-
witty and efficiency. We have in Char
iton County a fine group of Farm
Club people, as fine as there is in
the State of Missouri, and work
needs to be done to keep these clubs
active and prosperous.
The Farm Bureau is not known so
well as the local organization needs
special work also in order that the
farmers Of Charlton County may be
able to stand up like men among the
farmers of Missouri and among the
farmers of the U. S. in a united eff
fort to get for themselves the things
that are due the farming class.
Sometimes the leaders of farm or
ganizations try to throw the hooks
into other farm organizations, and
tear them to pieces. This action Of
ten causes farmers to wonder what
is wrong and it has a tendency to
make them hesitate to pull up against
the collar and make all the organiza-
tions pull together. If there is a
"nigger" in the wood pile anywhere
lets roust him out. Just like the de-
WI is pleased to see one church or
ganization throwing bricks at an
other just so it pleases the farmer
enemies to see one farm organization
trying to tear down another.
Let's make Charlton County strong
for farm organizations both local. |
state and national. The farmers of |
Charlton County have a right to the |
best things there are for the farmers
OF America and the way we can get
these things is for US to stand toge-
ther as one man having common In
terests and common grievances. We
believe absolutely in the power and |
strength OF united farming class.
Let's boost for Charlton County. |
Farmers Week Again
We can't get this subject off our
mind-it is too important. What is
the farmers week anyhow?
1t is the greatest gathering of far
mers which is held in the year. Far
ners from all over Missouri from all
walks OF life come together for the
mutual betterment which is a result
IT this close communion together of
PEOPLE all interested in great indus
ry.
Farmers week is the place where
yision is. born. Vision is that thing
which makes folks realize there are
leighths to be obtained by effort.
'ision as applied to agriculture when
'btalned by a man or woman causes
hat person to become community
eader. A leader who is so full of in
plration and enthusiasm that they
vill spend days and nights in order
hat they may get their neighbors
o realize something of the possibi-
tiles which can be obtained. F.,
Go to Farmers Week January 16- {
9th and get vision of the possibi-
tiles of farming and come back and '
elp the farmers of Charlton county
0 approach some of the things which ,
hey ought to have. Il
