FATALLY INJURED WHILE
COASTING.


Miss Harriet Jacobs, only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Jacobs, and
beloved granddaughter of Mr.. B. ].
Bennett, editor of the Mineral Point
Tribune, passed from this life at
their home, $50 High street, at three
o'clock Tuesday morning, Jan. 18th,
from injuries received while coasting
early Monday evening. Miss Jacobs
a beautiful, talented young girl, had
invited few friends to go coasting
on the hill on South Iowa street,
known as Cummings hill. After
/ taking a few rides, Miss Jacobs sug
gested that she would like to steer
the "bob'' for the next ride and
started down the hill with seven
others on the dob" The sleigh had
developed considerable speed and
! was just opposite the home of DR.. II.
for her to turn out in order to avoid
striking some children on a small
hand-sled and in doing SO she collid-
ed with another sleigh coming down
the opposite hill, with great speed
containing ten passengers. Inthe fear
full crash that followed all the young
people fell in a heap and some be-
came unconscious for awhile. All re-
ceiVed minor injuries and were badly
oh h1It
, thrown in front under the sleds in
some way and fractured her skull,
cheekbopes, jaw, and limbs and re-
ceived ether injuries. She remained
unconscious from the time she was
taken to her home until she sank
into the final sleep. At no time has
there been such universal sorrow in
every home in our city as there was
Tuesday morning when her death
was reported. Every heart went out
in sympathy to the bereaved parents
who had lost their only beloved child
and daughter. It was the most heart
rendering accident that ever occurred
in this city. Miss Jacobs was fifteen
years of age last November; a soph-
more in the local High school, very
refined, popular, lovable and happy
But God loved her most and took her
to His Kingdom where there is moth
ing but rejoicing The funeral will
take place Thursday afternoon at
half past two o'clock.

A Year of Growth and Progress.


walks and streets, four hundred and
twenty eight (428) of the members
and friends of the First Congrega-
tional church assembled in the lee
ture room last Thursday night for
the annual Get-Together supper and
the reading of reports by the differ
ent organizations within the church.
In many particulars this was the
most cheering and record breaking
meeting of the kind ever held by the
church. 1t was a gathering where
everybody greeted everybody else
with q smile and CHEEKY pleasantly.
The chairman of the social features
and all others having part in the
planning and carrying out of the
evenings activities are deserving of
congratulation for their good judg-
ment and tact shown in the arrange
ments. The supper itself was feast
of good things, with ice cream and
cake and delightful orchestra, music
and uplifting singing by the ladies'
quartet thrown in for good measure.
The supper hour was followed by
the reading of reports from the diff
ferent branches of Christian work
which this church sponsors. A few Of
the outstanding items cleaned from
h of
interest and help, to even those in
the community not numbered as
Congregationalists. Forty-nine (49)
new members were added to the
church in 1921; two members were
removed by death and six were trans
ferred by letter to other churches;
leaving a present total membership
of three hundred and seventy-seven
(377) souls. The receipts and dis
bursements for the year for running
expenses, church improvements and
missionary support totaled over
eleven thousand dollars 1,0O0)
but Notwithstanding this heavy fl
nancial outlay, there remains more
than fifteen hundred dollars ($1500)
in the various treasures of the
church with which to begin the new
year. The honor of having the larg-
est numerical growth for the year of
all the organizations belongs to the
Sunday school with an increase of
forty per cent; eighty-one babies are
numbered in the cradle roll depart
ment. The Co-Worker society did a
business of over two thousand dol
lars ($2,000) for the year and is a
growing and livewire group. The
Mems Brotherhood, as in former
years, was ever alert to the needs OF
building a strong Christian manhood.
The Woman's Missionary Union is
wide awake in making it possible for
those still in darkness to hear the
glad tidings of the Christ. The Pill
grim Daughters and the Christian
Endeavor bodies had large activity
and success in 1921 and are facing
the future with joyous step and
courage and loyalty that betokens
fresh victories on ahead. During the
year the pastor of the church off1ciat-
ed at thirty-four (34) funerals; SOL
emnized nineteen (19) marriages;
baptised nine adults and thirty-three
(33) children and delivered fourteen
(14) special sermons and addresses
throughout the county and beyond.
This annual festival of Christian
Good Fellowship in the interests of
ushering in the Masters Kingdom on
earth came to fitting and reverent
close by all present arising and sing
ing, Cali hail the power of Jesus
name; let angels PROSTATE fall; bring
forth the royal diadem and crown
him Lord of ALL"

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
ditor of The Democrat:


| attended the Good Roads meeting
at the Commercial Club Monday even
ing and was very much interested in
the prospective work laid out for the
coming year on Highways leading in
to Mineral Point. The Highway
Commissioner present advanced the
excuse for not having done more
work on the highways in the vicinity
of Mineral Point was for the reason
that nearly all of them were such
large projects on account of the hills
that it required an accumulation of
funds appropriated for road work in
order to carry out the completition of
the project. However they all gave
us the assurance that this work
would be undertaken and completed
this coming summer and the Com
mercial Club assured them all the as
sistance and cooperation within
their power.
q
but how far will the citizens of Min
eral Point and adjoining townships
back them up. These Highway Com
missioners no doubt have hard prop
osition to overcome the self center
ed interest and other obstacles him
der their progress. Every red blood
ed American citizen should cooper
ate in making the avenues leading
into Mineral Point the best in the
county. They should go so far that
in case there is shortage of funds to
carry these projects to completion to
donate day Or two of lobor and put
it across.
1 am railroad man and believe
in good roads. In improving the
highways you are, to a certain eX-
tent, taking away the business from
the railroads. l am not complaining
about that. Conditions are changing
the auto trucks are here and have
come to stay. However, believe
the citizens should give the railroads
the same cooperation that they do
the highways. They are just as nee
essary for the upbuilding of city as
the highways. They serve you the
year round while the highways only
when they are passable and the
weather is fine. They bring business
and spend money in your town the
year round while the tourist only
spends nickle while passing
through if they feel thirsty, hungry
or break down. Let's boost and not
knock and let's cooperate and i'm
prove all avenues into our home
town. t. L. PAGEL

Mineral Point, Wis, Jan. 9, 1922
To the Editor of the Democrat-The
tax payers of Mineral Point would
appreciate little more service of
our City Treasurer, if only one more
hour in the evening, it would give
those who labor until four o'clock a
chance to get up to his office. Most
all men, business or otherwise, put
in eight hours per day. This is one
other thing 1 think the people of this
community would appreciate-that
is for our banks to stay open one
evening per week. l understand
most all banks in cities larger and
smaller than ours are trying it out.
Yours truly,
JOHN G.. HI. PETERS.
