In Memory OF MS. w. R. Smith.

On Sunday night of December 8,
1922, the community was shocked
by the sudden passing away of Mrs.
w. r Smith. She had been sick
a few days ago, but on Sunday was
in her usual health and doing her
housework, She retired about the
usual time and about 10 o'clock
she aWoke and struggled hard with
pain for few moments, then was
simply carried away.
Before her marriage to Mr.. Smith
she was Miss Lille Covington
daughter of Mr.. John Hampton Gov.
ington. In early childhood she
joined Dockery's church of which
she still remained a member. Mrs
Smith was 40 years old.
The interment was at Green Lake
church. The funeral was conduct
ed by Rev. Bruce Benton.
Her tolls are past, her work is
done; she fought the fight, the vic
tory is won, and she entered into
rest. Let our hearts in every woe
still say Thy will be done"
Upon her grave let nature shed in
bright dewdrops her morning tears
telling of the earthly life that must
so soon fade away. Over her rest
ing place let the silent stars keeI
nightly vigils, betokening the com
ing radiant dawn of Eternal Day.

Cabinet Shop.
In the cabinet shop, adjoining the
| carpentry shop, the men said instruc-
tion really hadn't begun yet. Most
of the men had been at the school
more than a month. No instructor
was in the room and the men were
working away at odd jobs. One was
making stools for use in the auto
terry boxes. An order soon to be
tackled. the men said, was of 300
packing boxes for the quartermaster
corps.
Plumbing School.
At the plumbing school, the only
person in evidence was Mr.. Grant,
the instructor. He said IA men were
enrolled in the course, that seven were
sick and that the other seven were
out on repair jobs around the camp.
The immediate need, Grant said,
was for some equipment. A threading
machine which had been used when
| the camp was built had been set
up, but the dies were worn out so ii
wouldn't cut threads.
There was also a power hack-saw
but no saw blades Blades had been
ordered since November, the instructor
said, but hadn't arrived yet. There
was no lead pipe.

one piece of equipment in addition
