Sudden Death of Mrs. Jones

were shocked on Tuesday afternoon
by the news of the sudden death of
Mrs. Anna Persis Jones, of Wheeling,
which occurred at her home here as
she was walking through the house.
(Futher particulars are found under
the death column in this paper today

Brief Mention
If that hustle and hustle one sees
about the amphitheatre and near
Hotel England can be taken for any
sort of an omen, then it must be that
Mountain Lake is looking up" The
renovation being done to the small
office building adjacent to the amph-
theatre is one of the busy sights.
In charge of this job is Mr.. Harvey
Criss, vice-president of the Park I'M
provement Club and certainly one of
our most progressive citizens. No one
can figure out just where he finds
time to do anything for himself be-
cause he is always doing it for some
other fellow. Mountain Lake civic cir
cles should be congratulated that we
have the good fortune to have him in
our midst.
Then there is the Sweet Shop" or
the refreshment stand operated by
Mr., and Mrs. Louis Erb, of Philadel-
phia. Just a glance at their menu
slate and you might think you were
not in Mountain Lake. They have
made the surroundings attractive and
best of all are keeping things clean
Ray Bittinger is the new council
man appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mason
Calls.
Of interest to all is the announce
ment that Miss Frances Grimes, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bushrod
Grimes, has passed her tests in pre-
liminary ground training under the
West Virginia University civil pilots
training program and will begin at
once her flight training. Only thirty
students have been accepted and of
this group Miss Grimes and two other
women were the only females to quail
fly.
There will be a special meeting of
the Park Improvement club on Satur-
day evening at o'clock at Hotel Eng
land. The group will discuss with the
new organization plans for certain
improvements.
