C. Kontz. KSGIVING DINNER Given by the CLAYTON WOMANS CLUB, at the Old Masonic Building, on Thurs day, Nov. 27th, for benefit of Clayton School. High ADMISSION 75 CENTS After sea sickness had had good tussel with me and|theship was still pitching me up and down until I could imagine my self a hollow rubber ball, I de cided on going to the upper deck to at least do my stunts!? in the open air. On my way up, just I pass ed some old maids, all huddled togetnei in their misery,; i heard one say “Oh, pes, persons have died from sea sickness’’. Where- up-on, my reason returned for I thought that if people did not eat so much and tax theii' stom' achs so heavily by eating so much of the wrong kind of food and combinations of food-stuff, their stomach would not revolt, if put to the influence of the high seas. Then and there I resolved to be prudent with my eating, to omit tea as coffee, while on rough seas, and the rest of the trip was mpeh mote pl&asgmt. . L. Towards evening we drifted nto a dense fog, “Whooooo”, the big whistles sounded every minute. It grew darker and darker. What if another ship or sail boat should come our way and in mid ocean? Many a ship has been wrecked this way and many a life lost. I recalled the Titanic disaster, the wrecking of the seven destroyers off the coast of southern California, ju3t within this year. The dripping dampness did not; help to cheer up matters and still as we retired to our berths the fog horn continued to howl. This was the lullaby by which I went to sleep. Past midnight, I awoke as 1 heard the mighty engines begin to slow down and finally come to a stop. I looked out of the port holes and could see nothing but the glare of the light upon the water. I dressed immediately in order to find out what had happened, and in order to be able to conduct my children to the,ir position on the life boats, if necessary, and to put the life belts on them. Each cabin be ing supplied sufficiently with life belts to care for all the inmates. Upon reaching deck I found that oyr ship bad stopped in or der to come to the rescue of an other ship’s captain, who was not suppled with a ship doctor, and who had been injured and needed medical attention.. The injured captain was soon transferred to our ship, during the time I noticed that the ship’s crew continued to bail water out of our ship. After the wounds of the captain had been dressed the injured man and his crew returned to their own boat and we proceeded on our journey. So, mercy was promptly ex tended, on the high seas, and MISS KATE BLECKLEY Miss"Kate Bleckley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bleckley, of Warwoman, died at the home of her parents, last Monday night after an illness of only a few days. Miss Kate was teaching at the Antioch school, where she was a very popular teacher, and af ter the close of school last Fri day went home complaining with headache and grew' worse until Monday night when death called her to her reward. She was a graduate of the B. M. I. and was very popular with a host of friends who have known and admired her for her many commendable traits of character, Miss) Kate was a member of the Antioch Baptistchurch from which the funeral was conducted Wednesday afternoon. She was tw'enty nine years of age and leaves beside her par ents several brothers and sisters to mourn her departure. The sympathy of a host of friends go out to the bereaved family and to her pupiD who were so devoted to her.

This was a good game and was enjoyed by- everyone present. The Clayton team started in making two field goals before the Baldwin team knew what had happened. At the end of the first half the score. was Clayton. The Baldwin team showed a little more pep at the beginning of the second half and brought the score up a few points in their favor, but in the last few minutes Clayton came' back making b field golds in three minutes. There is some argument as to the final score, both the scorers Spirit was)swiftly passing into! f or Clayton and Baldwin had it the beyond, haunts me still, as 24 and 25 in favor of Baldwin When death was[near that day I but the referee and some of the she had no fear or doubt for her life was pure and good and true.

She had predicted her death on her 75th birthday and so it was.
