The specter, Death, has again closed the coffin lid upon what, for fifty years has been one of our strong men, and the spirit of a pioneer has passed over the mystic trail and is lost mid the shadows of the farther shore. After a long illness, extending ex-tending over many weeks, Davis Clark expired on the 5th inst., it being his 73rd birthday. Of historical interest in the obituary notice was the following: The deceased was a firm believer in home industry; being one of the chief promoters and owners of the first threshing machines, built in our village, also the first Sorgum mill and imported the first steam circular cir-cular saw mill, and was connected con-nected with other industries.... ...On the 7th, a large number of the old veterans, neighbors and friends gathered at the home of deceased to look for the last time upon the face of the dead. The Indian war veterans acted as pall bearers and marched at the head of the procession to the Meeting House and afterwards to the City Cemetery. His old comrades, Pioneer Matson and Capt. Geo. McKenzie, D. C. Johnson and Mayor Boyer each refered briefly to the sterling qualities. ...A long train followed the hearse to the cemetery where Elder 0. M.

The Honors Program provides special curricula for gifted students.
