Moorhead Attorney Dead.

Charles S. Marden, prominent
Moorhead attorney and we'll known
in Becker county, died suddenly
in his Office in Moorhead on Tues.
day of last week from the forma-
ton of an embolism in the brain.
Less than an hour before his
death he had addressed the Rotary
club at the MONDAY luncheon and
appeared to be in excellent health.
He was former county attorney
of Clay county, and served two
terms in the State legislature. For
many years he has been chairman
of the ninth district Republican
committee. His wife and two
married daughters survive.

Former Agency Office
TO be Used for School,

A school meeting of District No.
112 was held on Saturday, April
25th, for the purpose of ascertain
ing if the people of the district
we're in favor of the site of the
old agency and building as a dis
trict school. Now that the school
buildings Of the former boarding
school are likely to be transferred
to other parties, one of which has
been used as a district school, it is
necessary that the school district
either obtain building for school
purposes or build a new one. The
school district already owns the
former agency building, but it
was necessary to get the assent of
the people of the district to it's use
as a school before any of the
school districts funds could be
expended on the Building III re-
modelling it to conform with the
state laws. All present voted in
favor of the agency site as a dis
trict school, and the school board
will probably commence the re.
modelling of the building at an
early date.

mrs. JULIA A. CARTER.

The funeral services of Mrs. Julia A.
Carter, widow of DIR. d. D. Carter, were
held in Emmanuel Episcopal Church,
Woodstock, on Sunday afternoon and
the church in which she was so active
as member, and to whose interests
she was so unselfishly devoted, was
filled with sorrowing and sympathetic
friends. The rector, Rev. Francis A.
Brown, conducted the services and re-
ferred feelingIy to the irreparable loss,
which the church sustained by Mrs.
Carriers death and paid a merited
tribute to the character of one who de-
voted much Of her time and talent to
the work of the Master.
Mrs. Carter's death on Friday, Feb
ruary 20. 1925. brought to the people
of the town deep sense of sorrow,
to many of whom the loss being per-
sonal, for she possessed one of those
rare personalities which could smile
through tears and impart to others
some of the brightness which seemed
to radiate her life. AS was aptly said
by Mr.. Brown, the chief beneficiaries
Of her unselfish work were her church
and the Daughters of the Confederacy
for in each of these organizations she
was an inspiration, and she gave to both
unstintingly and unsparingly of her
time and talents. Typical of the woman
hood of the Old South she possessed
those charms which endeared her as
neighbor, associate and friend and her
death takes from the community a
potent factor for good.
Mrs. Carter was born Miss Julia Ade-
laide Wynkoop seventy-seven years
ago at Georgetown. D. c., daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett Wynkoop, a
prominent District of Columbia family.
She graduated at the Virginia Female
Institute at Staunton, and came &c
Woodstock to live after her marriage
to DR.. Carter, who was one of the best
known surgeons in the Valley.
She is survived by one son, A. Gar
rett Carter, of Crow Agency, Montana,
and three daughters, Mrs. Delmar d
Davis, of Woodstock, Mrs. j. N. Barney
Of Fredericksburg. and Mrs. Emma
Price. of Sheridan, Wyoming. Botf
Mr.. Carter and Mrs. Price reached
Woodstock after their mothers death
the latter after the funeral.
Burial was in Massanutten cemetery

SCHOOL, CrNS0S

This b the time to take the regular
quinquennial census Of school children
In Virginia. This census IL taken Ia
every year that Is 4 multiple Of five,
This State Constitution provides that .
considerable part Of the State School
fund IS sent out to the counties on the
basis Of the returns from this census.
In Shenandoah County we received
each year a little over 800 Of State
funds from each child recorded in this
census between the ages Of seven and
twenty. During the five year period
therefore, this amounts to between
thirty-five and forty dollars for each
child. It is very important therefore
that not single child be omitted in
this census.
! most earnestly request that the
people Of this county win cooperate
with the various census takers Of each
district and assist them In any way
they can to the end that children be
omitted.
Children between the ages OF seven
and twenty recorded on the last day OF
September 1925, will be taken whether
these children are in are not in
school. Even il they are away from
home or away in college, they are to
be included if they have not reached
their 10th birthday on the last day OF
September 1925.
A second census Of children between
the ages of six and seven is also to be
taken and a third will be taken OF
crippled or deaf children between the
ages of one and five years. The i'm
portance Of this will be that the names
of these children will later be sent to
the State Hospital. 1t may be possible
that some Of them can be reached and
treated and cured. Children who are
deaf and blind are also to be included
in this census. The names of these
children will later be sent to the school
for deaf and blind at Staunton with
the possibility that they too may later
be treated and thereby improved or
cured.
