Let the people of this country put
behind them such pessimism and such

Obituary
Ira Bacon was born at North H&mp-
ton, New York, June 26, 1826, and de-
parted this life at Blackwell, Okla.,
August 13, 1914, after a lingering for
six mouths.
At the age of 19 years, he came with
his parents to Riga, Michigan. On
September 22, 1849, he was married
to Miss Adelia Knight, and settled in
Riga, Mich., where they resided fifty
five years. To this union were born
ten children, three of whom have
passed before; seven are still living:
Mrs. Nettie Sutherland of California;
Lorenzo, Charles and Amanda Bacon
of f’itsford, Mich.; Roswell Bacon of
Grand Rapids, Mich.; Alwilda Lewis
and Martin Bacon of Blackwell, who
was with him until death released
him.
Mr. Bacon has two sisters and one
brother living, Emery Bacon of Tole-
do, Ohio, Sarah Pelton Ballard Wash,
and Hannah Lane, Portland, Ore. Mr.
Bacon served three years as sergeant,
in the war of the Rebellion. In 1904
they came from Riga and settled in
their home at Blackwell, to be near
their son Martin in their declining
years.
His wife proceded him in 1912, af-
ter journeying together sixty-three
years. In 1874 they both joined the
Methodist church at Riga, and lived
devoted Christians until their death.
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
Z. A. Harris, pastor Christian church.
Interment I. O, O. F. cemetery of
Blackwell.
Peaceful be thy slumbers,
And in countless numbers
May bright angels guard they bed.
May no shade of sorrow
Dim the coining morrow,
. Making duty stern and dread.
May a glorious morning
Prove the joyful dawning
Of a day with sunshine wed.
Angels guard thy foot falls,
May no grievous pit falls
Make thee feel thy heart hath bled.
He who guards the sparrow
Keep thy way so narrow,
Pain shall seem forever fled.
Sweetest angels singing
"Peace” with “Gocd Will” ringing,
Make thee know thy feet are led.
Where shall be a meeting,
And a joyful greeting
With the loved ones
dead?
MRS. M. BACON.
ing. In the case of first and second
grade pupils, all who live in the first
ward will be sent to the central build-
ing, because the second ward alone
has as many pupils for these grades
as all the rest of the city together.
Everything possible has been done
toward equalizing the number of pu-
pils to the teacher and at the same
time accommodate as many pupils as
possible in the matter of distance. All
pupils in the primary, first, second,
third and fourth grades, living west
of the Santa Fe railroad will attend
at the Lincoln school. No exceptions
can be made, because the number of
pupils to the teacher in that building
will be less than that in any other
grades.
The following is the assignment of
grade teachers with the grades that
they will have;
CENTRAL BUILDING
Ethel Gilbert, 7th grade, B class,
both east and west.
Lottie Phillips. 6th grade, B class,
west, and 6th A both east and west.
Edris Cagle, 5th grade B class, east j
and west.
Florence Fields, 5th grade A class j
east and west and 4th A west.
Bertha Robbins, 3rd grade A and B
classes west.
Alice Brooks, 2nd grade A and B1
west and in the first ward east.
Anna Priddy, 1st grade A and B
classes west and the first ward east, j
Marie Poston, primary west and
probably first ward east.
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Gladys Robbins, eighth grade east
and west.
Jennie Patterson, 7th grade A class
east and west and 6th B east.
P'ay Minor, 4th grade B class east
and west and 4th A east.
Ella Adams, 3rd grade A and B
classes east.
Mildred Berkey, 2nd grade A and B
classes east.
Nora Kinnan, 1st grade A and B
classes east.
Florence Carr, primary east.

For the School Year
The board of education have re-
duced the number of grade teachers to
17 and this will mean that there will
be eight in the central building, two
in Lincoln and seven in the high
school building. There being but
seven teachers in that building means
that but seven grades can be located
there. It appears best to take the
fifth grade out of the high school
building and send all fifth grade pu-
pils to Gentral. In addition to this,
it will he necessary to send some en-
tire classes to central and other en-
tire classes to the high school build-
having some of the children go to one
building and some to the other. I
have done the best that I possibly can
do for everybody. It is hoped that pa-
trons will study cdrefully the classi-
fication and then will assist in carry-
ing it out.
School will begin ill all departments
Monday, September 7th. The same
rules and regulations in regard to
hours will be observed as in former
years. School will be called promptly
at 9 a. m., and pupils not present at
that minute will be marked tardy. Af-
ternoon sessions will begin at 1:15.
School will dismiss at 12 m. and at 4
p m. Pupils not at home in a reason-
