past half hour. Very fitting
was the blackout floating prize,

which caused much fun. 1t

This community has, indeed,
been saddened by the passing
of SO many elderly ladies dur
ing the past few days. Each
one has been important in her
home and family and her going
brings heart aches to loyed
ones. Each one has lived her
life quietly and well, and has
gained the love and respect of
the community in which she
lived, Mrs. Mary Nutter, Mrs.
G. Powders, Mrs. T. ].
Pettyiohn and Mrs. Wilson M.
all belong to the old
school whose teaching was
hat home and loved ones were
heir consideration, while bus
ness was left to the men of
he family. No better tribute
,ould be paid them than the
act that they filled their
,laces with dignity and unset
lshness.
