Pierre, S. d., May 23. - Although
there is a gradual leveling up OF farm

DR. MERREL MONK OF
ATHENS DIES SUDDENLY

DR.. NJ. Monk a we'll known and prom
inent physician of Athens, died Tues
day morning while on professional
visit near his home.
It seems that he had been called
to see a sick patient at the home OF
one of the Gandy's near Athens and
while on this professional call was
suddenly stricken with the fatal at
tack and expired in short time.
DR., Monk had been in a bad state
of health for several months and In
fact was confined to his room for sew
eral weeks during the early part Of
the year. But he had sufficiently re-
covered to resume his practice, and
while far from we'll his sudden death
was a shock and a surprise to Ms
family and a wide circle Of friends.
DR.. Monk was fine physician, d
man of considerable information and
learning, whose death will be great
loss to that community.
The deceased came from promi
nent pioneer family Of his parish. His
father, the late ]. R. Monk, was a law
yer by profession and at one time was
one of the leading members of the
Homer bar.
Besides his wife and children, the
deceased leaves a large number of rel
atives in the eastern part Of the par
ish, and a wide circle of friends in thu
Athens community where for the last
few years he had successfully practiced
his profession. Guardian-Jour

High up on Blinn BREACH Mountain

to have one in his house because it
was such a nuisance will be buried
Friday or Saturday. He died today

ed the greatest gift to civilization.
From crude taugle of wires and mag.
nets in his Boston workshop, Mr.. Bel
saw his invention grow to vast sys.
tenn that serves instantaneously all
over the world. 1t was in 1878 that
Mr.. Bell made his first telephone.
I'm addition to the telephone Mr.
Bell also invented many devices t(

RAILROADS TURN DOWN PRESI.
DENTS PLAN OF SETTLEMENT

President Hardings plan Of settle
ment of the strike of railroad shop
men was turned down by the execu
tives of the railroads Tuesday, ant
accepted by the striking workmen.
1t seems that the refusal of railroad
executives was based on that part OF
the presidents proposal regarding
seniority rights Of the old workmen
The railroads have promised the mel
who have taken the places of the strik
ers that they will be given seniority
over the old workmen. The president
suggested that the workmen be giver
their seniority rights when they re
turned to work.
However, there is feeling that al
immediate adjustment of the strike
situation will be brought about as thu
pulse Of the entire country Is beating
in favor of some sort of a settlement
and apparently not interested so much
in the nature of the settlement. II
some places they have held prayer
meetings and offered prayers that the
strike be settled.
