MISS GERTRUDE POWERS

   Miss Gertrude, daughter of Mrs. W. A. Powers of
   Cleveland and niece of Mr. and Mrs.
John Hunt of Clyde, passed away at Cleveland Monday
morning about 4:30 o'clock. She had been ill for some
time.  The funeral services were held yesterday morning
and interment was made in Cleveland.
   Miss Powers was well known to many Clyde friends. 
   She made her home with 
Mr. and Mrs. Hunt until she was nine years of age and
they became greatly attached
 to her.  She spent a good deal of time with them during
 her vacations in the summer
and at other times, and was beloved by a great many
friends, who extend much sympathy to the family.
   Mr. and Mrs. Hunt attended the funeral services
   Wednesday.

DIDN'T LIKE THE PROSPECT

   When about fifty men sat down to a lunch after the
   meeting of the Masonic Lodge
Monday evening, they discovered that something was wrong
at the table.  A pallor seemed to hang over their
spirits, when somebody discovered that undertaker E. O.
Fiser graces one end of the table and undertaker Jesse
R. Beard occupied the chair at the other.  Most of the
boys voiced the opinion that they, were too super-
stitious to relish their food with such a prospect
before them and refused to eat until one of the
undertakers moved to a different seat.

   The county commissioners have awarded $72,000

   Rural mail carrier John Ropke is no respecter of the
   weather.  He makes his trip
every day in an open buggy, no matter what the
temperature, and says he never gets cold.  He owns a
Ford, but says using it on the mail route is too
expensive, so he keeps it for use on his milk route.

   A lady wearing a skirt which nearly touched the
   sidewalk attracted more attention
on Main street the other day than the first young woman
with knee-high skirt did when she paraded past Brown's
drug store a few years ago.
