Friday* morning about 9 o'clock
ami without warning, J. M. Brown,
one of the beet known citixene of
this community, was summoned to
his reward and passed over the great
divide before
medical assistance
could arrive. Although having lieen
in ailing health for a number of
years, the en»i came rather unex
parted. and a life that had been
moot active all his career, was snuff
ed out. Mr Brown wa» K0 years
old on the I Sth day of last Novem
ber. being born in central Illinois.
For a number of years Mr Brown
was associated with Hiram Parker,
of Albany, in the operation of a saw
mill on Thomas creek, above Scio,
and because of this connection be
came well and favorably known over
the stat«*
He wu always upright
and hones! in his dealings with his
fellow men. and made many friends
thereby.
Mr. Brown was twice married,
the first wife dying shortly after
marriage
He was again married
this time to Emma Smith, who sur

Fifty year» ago Mr Brown joined
the Masonic fraternity and has re

organisation, believing in it with all
his heart. He also was a devoted

Ijwt Thur »»I ay. when workers in
the interest ot the Near East Relief
were in Scio, they called at the
school house and made their plea in
behalf of the thousands of starving
children in that far eastern country
who have been deprived of home,
father an<1 mother by the terrible
devastation of wai and the hunger
for human blood by the Terrible
Turks, the children of the public
schools of Scio went m record as l»e-
coming father and mother to two
orphans, and promised to see that
they were given proper aid and suc
cor, so that life may lie »pared to
them. Thia is a laudable purpose,
and »me that will redound to their
honor and credit a» the years roll
around.
No one can depict in their own
mind just what hunger is, so far aa
we as a nation are concerned, be
cause none of us hsve really been
hungry, but we can in a m«*a»ure
anticipate such ii condition.
A chil»i of another nation is just
s* dear to that nation as is the child
of <>ur own nation to its mother or
father, and we have not M>rn many
of our kin subjected to such trilla
an»l tribulations as have conf ron teil
'Tie d<>ne. and the people are well
pb iiM-d with the efforts put forth
by the students.
Tie done and the gymnasium is
n<>w an «mured fact.
*Ti» done, and the best entertaia
ment ever «taged in Scio is history.
Friday night, when the curtain
raised on the home talent minstrei
show, the country store, and the
end of a two-wreks' campaign for
the building of the gymnasium, a
vast audience was present to give
its aid and encouragement in the
undertaking that will mean mueh
for the upbuilding of the commu
nity and the high school in particu
lar, for a gymnasium is as necessary
in school life as are the more ardu
ous and tedious studies of the text
books.
The I h > js and girls in the several
numliers t>erformed their work well,
and would put to shame some of
those who are going up and down
the country earning their living in
giving entertainments.
The end
men were especially good, the cho-
rus- » were rendered with rare tech
nique and demonstrated that excel
lent talent was here in Scio and
needed but the opportunity to de
velop itself and assist the individual
in making a mark for himself or
herself and the opportunity waa
Friday night, February 24.
1 he management of the whole af
fair was entirely in the hands of
Lyle J Ficklin. who has had much
training in this clsss of work, and
the willingness of the students made*
hi* efforts bear fruit in no uncertain
manner
He look but two weeks
to put over the drive for a loan of
I2I*«O from the people of tnis com
munity for the gymnasium and the
drilling of the students for the en
tertainment. and that he was suc
cessful is putting it mildly. He de
serve/ all the praise that can be
given him for hie work; and eu do
all those who contributed their bit
in helping make the whole thing a
sucre -I from every standpoint.
*1 he country store was a howling
surer-* an<l many articles of good
value were readily sold, while hand-
reds of small and useful article«
were given away free, It was new
and novel here and greatly enjoyed.
The feature of thi» program was the
giving away of a real live baby, ami
George I. Lutherland. the young
man with 66 years on his head, was
the winner of this grand priie. He
was compelled to go on the stage
and accept the gift, and th» created
a grand uproar of laughter, for it
was a re<l pig dressed up as a baby.
