Four weeks ago she became much worse, pneumonia set in and1 was the immediate cause of her death. During her last days she suffered intense pain.

To those not holding season tickets, tne price to tins, prooaDiy tne oest number of the entire course, is just the same .as that charged for other attractions, yiz, seventy-five cents for Adults and thirty-five cents for children, and it is hoped by the committee that this effort on their part to r provide for music lovers in the com | munity a ra.ru tr^ai wiu ne rcwaraea ' -fry a' generous response. *<B^HX^ ^mBWSMMSst $ 1 ^BhBmB I : v^^^HhHH8^V7 fl *N s; w w ii tir >> SHERIFF ROOF GETS ONE MORE STILL t> ????
