TO STOP IT !
AMAN will start downtown with $50 in his pocket. On his way he
will pass a bank. If he deposits $40 of his $50 he will be mare
sparing in his expenditures. Money will not TAKE WINGS!
little currency and a FAT CHECK BOOK is a better combination than

THE LAST SAD
TRIBUTE TO 1.
SEELEUAWTON
Leaves Many Friends to Grieve
Over Loss of Young Man
Whose Future Was Bright.
The death of Seeley Lawton,
caused by a falling wall during a
disastrous fire at Sioux City last
Thursday morning', March 2(5,
while acting as volunteer lire
man, cast a gloom over this com
munity, where ho has visited sev
eral times and was well known.
Mr. Lawton was a son-in-law of
D. A. Young and was chauffeur
for Fire Chief Kellopp. When
life and property was seriously
threatened he volunteered his
services. It was while acting in
this capacity that the accident,
happened.
The Sioux City Tribune slates
that the entire quarter block,
consisting of Moore's clothing
store, the Anderson Furniture
company and the Frank hotel,
was destroyed. The foundation
of the Anderson building was
weak and the wall fell almost in
stantly. Warning was given and
Mr. Lawton was within live feet
of safely when the wall caught
him and his body was horribly
mangled. Word was received
here at, noon Thursday. Mrs.
Younp and Rex Young left as
soon as possible for the home of
the unfortunate man, and the
body was brought to Murray on
the noon train Saturday and
taken to the home of Mr. Younp
Mr. Lawton was born March i.
18S7, at Morrison, Illinois. Hi
was married to Miss Ona Young,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 1). A
Younp, one of the oldest am
best known families of this coun
ty, lie leaves a widow, one son 3
years old, a mother and father
and two brothers.
Rev. Hutehman of Ihe Presby
terian church was in charge of
the funeral services and there
was a large number, of relatives
and friends present to pay their
last tribute of respect to this
young man, who had sacrificec
his life in attempting to save the
life and property of others. Mr.
llutchman's words wore touching
and beautiful. Choirs from the
Presbyterian and Christian
churches sang "Rock of Ages,"
"Nearer, My Ood, to Thee," and
"It Is Well with My Soul." One
of the prettiest lloral. ofTerin;
was a ladder of white roses and
vol low daffodils that covered the
casket, from the lire department
of Sioux City. Others from the
fire department of Dos Moines,
Iowa, and Morrison, Illinois. The
interment was made in the Young
cemetery near Murray.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to return our most
sincere and heartfelt thanks to
those who rendered such valua
ble aid during the funeral and at
the grave, and to the. choirs of
the Presbvterian and Christian
churches for their beautiful
singing.

Library Association Notes.
Over the door of the library
at Thames is this inscription,
"Medicine for the Soul." When
friends are absent or disappoint
ed, when discouragement or
loneliness overtakes one, on the
book shelves we will always find
the master minds of the ages,
and to us they are always at
home. Their friendship is ever
helpful and free. He who has
learned to love books has found
the avenue of contentment, and
he who has learned to apply the
accumulated wisdom of the cen
turies which he gathers through
books to the busy world that
surrounds him lias found the
secret of service. It is writers of
great books who have voiced the
universal brotherhood and pre
dicted the international patriot
ism. Through books as throuph
nothing else any soul may be
come the most intimate friend of
the greatest souls. Through
books the voices of those who
have advanced the world becomes
audible to us. They give mean
ing to the life that is and
aspiration for the life to come
Books are indeed the unperish
able friend of man and the
medicine for the soul.

in the company arrived at the
conclusion that the horse would
do better in the hands of less
"bosses." And they are about
right about it. The animal is
one of the best in the country,
and it is believed that "Jalico"
has fallen into the hands of the
right parties.
