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 vives To this union five children are still living, two boys and three girls, as follows: Mrs Frances Han­ non of Tacoma.

Fifty year» ago Mr Brown joined the Masonic fraternity and has re­ mained a faithful adherent to this organisation, believing in it with all his heart. He also was a devoted church me nber. believing in the tenet» of the Bible and the good of the church He died in the faith of the save»!

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.
