( ) a ) Q i 5' imoln ! VOLUME 28 TOLEDO. LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10th,' 1920. NUMBER 42 SILETZ Mrs. Chalcrafi. and her daughter, MIbs Alice, have gone on an extended visit to Seattle where the son, Pick ering is engaged in the newspaper worn. They will be gone lor gome time. Superintendent Chalcraft will be at his post here and keep the work up in the office but will keep bachelor hall. The hill where the Government buildings are located have no women left till these fair visitors return Charles Larson, Agency clerk has also gone on his vacation to Seattle, his wife and little daughter already being there, The Slletz Valley Grange will give a basket social at their hall Friday An Interesting program is being pre pared. It will be a public meeting and a cordial l.iviLit;.;n is extended to the public to bs present and enjoy the day. Fraternity and sociability are great factors in keeping up a spirit of good fellowship and progress in the community. The news of the untimely death of bnerlff Simpson came as a great shock to this community where he was so veil and favorably Saown. But a short time ago he was at Siletz greeting his many friends in his usual kind open hearted way that won the friendship of all whom he met. I don t bellev Willie Simpson as he was famllarly known had an enemy in the world His genial nature and kind considerate treatment of aU with whom he met won him friends wherever he was known. He had served a term of two years as Sheriff and I never heard a word of complaint about the manage. Bient of the office. He had Just been re-elected to serve a term of four years because of the measure that had been passed extending the time off all county offices to tour years. Billie Simpson had n.ade the remark that at the expiraticn of this term he would be glad to retire and go into other bus iness but the unseen hand of fate had ordered it otherwise and we must submit Though not a member of any chtuxii he had a Christian spirit. Ulllte Simpson was always willing to be'p any v.j;k that weuld benefit the co.T.rr.uuity and help others. He was always willing to help uny work that would benefit the community and help mors, lie was entirely unselfish When asked to take part in any pro gram for the benefit of Sunday Schools and other community enter tainments Le would do so without a word of complaint. He Is a native son born and rearod at Elk City, Lincoln County, where his parents now reside, it is Indeed sad that a caraer that held promise of so much should be cut short so soon. He Is survived b" his wire, two eht''ro:i, a son and daughter, two sisters, Mrs. Everett Cook, who Hvps at Portland, and Mrs. Thomas Tlwmons who lives at home with her parents and his father and mother, You intend to buy a Get the best '2sui oi l GRAPH JECORDSFREE And with a Pathe Phonograph at that !
