To this union were born three sons, and four daughters. The four daughters survive her. Two sons died in infancy, the other son, at the age of twenty-six years. Fifteen grandchildren and six great grandchildren also survive. On March 11, 1886, she was united in marriage to Mr.

She has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. James Alexander, for TO MY FRIENDS As it is impossible to reach each person individually and express my gratitude for the wonderful support you gave me as Chairman of Home-Coming Week, I take this opportunity of thanking you through the columns of the Republican. It would be a great pleasure to see personally everyone who helped make the Home-Coming a success.

I had a splendid managing committee, composed of the executive board of the Civic Club and several business men. To them and all subcommittees, the Republican, the Guard the mayor, the city commissioners, the county officials, old settlers, business men, superintendent and teachers of the schools, the ministers and church members, lodges, Commercial Club, American Legion, clubs, musicians, the Auxiliary, the band boys, Company and every other organization in Council Grove, and to all citizens who helped make the town attractive and the guests welcome, we are indebted for the success of the Home-Coming. It was a great pleasure to me to help bring together old friends and old settlers, and I speak not only for myself, but all connected with the week's activities, when I thank the public for their support and good will. Personally I wish to express my lasting gratitude for the beautiful loving cup presented to me. Aside from the value of the gift, it expresses the appreciation of citizens and visitors who enjoyed last week's reunion.

I shall always cherish this remembrance of the Home-Coming Week and I feel that nothing can come into my life that will give me more real happiness and satisfaction than the sentiment this gift stands for. Sincerely, LALLA M. BRIGHAM. The is the week of weeks in the Twice-aWeek Republican's $3,000.00 Campaign. Saturday night marks lose of the First Period the most important time of the entire race.

Those who have- an ambition to own that Studebaker, or one of the other big awards, will not lose a single minute from now until Saturday, night. Subscriptions mean WIN or LOSE and subscriptions secured this week are worth more in credit value than they ever will be again. Standings Changed A glance at the credit totals since last night's count proves that Club Members are putting more enthusiasm into the work than has hitherto been manifested. It is well that they realize that the critical point of this campaign has been reached. Not to do your best this week, Club Members, is to deliberately turn your back ON THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY THAT MAY EVER COME TO YOU.

This week to a large extent will determine the BIG winners. Those who wish to share in the melon cutting, July 23, will do their level best between now and the closings hour of the period, p.

High waves of determination are gripping aspirants for the big tour-ng car, and credts in increasing volume are pouring in to the campaign department.

It is evident that club members are determined to win or lose NOW. The enthusiasm of the club members has spread to their friends and acquaintances. In many sections of the city and surrounding territory, a great amount of neighborhood pride is showing itself and great efforts are being put forth to have one of the biggest prizes won by the favorite representatives in each community. Many club members, in calling at this office, are expressing new" determination to do their level best during this important period. The longer YOU delay in getting into "full swing" the less valuable your subscriptions will be from a credit standpoint.

And that's what you are after credits or you -should be after them if you expect to be1 one of the big prize winners. The Republican's gifts are to be distributed to those who deserve them and who make the best records in the credit column. The club member with the highest score will be Awarded the Studebaker Special valued at have decided that from now on this $1,825.00. The big majority of club members campaign will receive more serious consideration than in the past.

There will be lots doing" when this big wave' of credits "cut loose" when the participants get into real action toward the big goal the $1,825.00 Studebaker. And it is for this, seemingly, that everything is measured. The results from last night's count appear above.
