Mrs. Lee Golding, well known local resident, died at the family home at 1:00 o'clock Saturday morning, Oct ober 14, 1916, as a result of paralysis, from which she had been suffering since 1909. Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday afternoon by L. S. Chapman, assisted by Rev. Cathers. A host of friends attended the last sad rites and accompanied the remains to the City cemetery for interment. Parent-Teachers Plan for Future. Officers and members of the Elgin Parent-Teachers association are out ling plans to make all sessions of the present year doubly interesting and at the next meeting, Friday, Novem ber iOih, will present a program of varied entertainment and interest along school work and it is the desire that all members and thobe interested in school work plan to attend. Mrs. W. R. Underwooi was elected president of ' the association at thi regular j!ec; ion and is endeavoring id create new interest and is showing an active inn; tst in forming program. for the present year. She is especial ly desirous that the date of the com ing meeting be kept in mind. City Warrants at Par. Elgin city warrants are still worth one hundred cents on the dollar and will be throughout the balance of th-s fiscal year despite the fact that the annual revenue has been much less than for many years. The elimination of saloons and revenue from licenses issued therefor, a reduction in fines and other sources have reduced the total revenue to the minimum, but El gin is still on a cash basis and unless unusual conditions arise sufficient funds are on hand to last the balance of the year. Not only has the present council managed to meet current expenses but has added a number of improvements. It has required close financing to ac complish this and it is of credit to the men responsible therefor, and dis proves the moss-worn statement that saloon licenses are necessary in fi nancing a municipal government. It must bo admitted, however, that the coffers of the city treasurer are not as flush as usual. Grandma Sharp had the misfor tune to .fall .while leaving the school fair last Friday evening, resulting in a fracture of her leg just above the knee. Dr. Waiting was summoned from Elgin and arrived a few min utes later. The fracture was reduced and the aged lady is now getting along as well as can be expected. Her son, John Sharp, was called home from Enterprise and will remain here during her convalescence. Mr. and Mrs. E. B.
