Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 23.-—| Uel W. Lamkin of Clinton, one of | the best known school men_ in| Missouri, has been appointed to the office of State Superintendent of Public Schools to fill the va-| jeancy caused by the death “of Howard A. Gass. Mr. Lamkin said there will be no change in the personnel of the! department whatever and that all of the officials, inspectors, clerks | |stenographers appointed by Mr. | Gass will retain their places. He will, no doubt, be nominat- ed for the unexpired term, from January, 1917, to January, 1919, by the Democratic State Commit- tee. The new State, Superintendent of Schools was connected with the , State Department under the first administration of Mr. Gass_ and filled the office of County Super- intendent of Schools of Henry County a number of years. I In 1914 he was strongly urged to.make the race for the nomina- tion for State Superintendent, but | stepped aside in order that Mr. Gass might have no opposition. He is a comparatively young man, , being under 50, and is widely * known in Missouri, especiaHy in} educational circles. Villa Won’t Stay Dead.

Mrs. Pamalia James, aged about 93 years, died Saturday night at the county infirmary of dropsy. Before the Civil War Mrs. James lived in the north part of the county, where her family was considered very wealthy, owning a large amount of land and other property. After the death of her | husband she met with financial re- | verses/and soon her fortune was gone..She was an active and faith- | ful member of the Adrian Chris- tian church and the members of that eongregation had contribut- red to her support for some time, until the opening. of the new eounty infirmary, when she-took up her home there. Many years ago she was a friend and neigh- bor to Mr. and Mrs. Wood, super- intendent and matron of the in- firmary, who did every thing that ~ | they could to make her last days happy. Though all her adversity she never lost her cheerful dis- position and she was known at the infirmary as ‘‘that happy wo- man from Adrian.’’ Tuesday the remains were taken to Adrian and funeral ‘services corrducted in the Christian church and interment made in Crescent | Hill cemetery. | Notice.
