FLORA WINS HER THIRD GRID¬ IRON BATTLE
Flora 40~Carmi 0
The third victory for tlie H-S. T. H. S. was won Saturday when Carml was defeated by a score of 4i) to 0.
In the tirst quarter neither team scored, both teams playing straight foot ball and playing it hard. In the second quarter the determination, skill and endurance of the Flora S(iuad began to show, and with a run of tlfteen yards, Kellums crossed the line for the first touchdown. It was easy to see that the game was won, for Flora's backtield was working llkl machinery, the Interference was great, and Maxwell (Q. B.) knew just what to pull. Through the rest of the game Flora made consistent gains on end runs and tackle smashes. It Is ard to pick a star, for all the team layed well from start to finish. The e deserves special mention for It's rk. In the backfield It seems as 1 Young played the best game, dan hit the line like a miniature driver, and the same is true of ms, but-Young acted like a real river'. : lineup: Conover, Malinsky albert.

The Record gave circulation a week
ago to the report that  Earl   Amrine,
formerly of this city, but now at Falr-
lield,-was alwut  to  return   to  Flora
and take   charge of   the   Prudential
liife Ins.   Co's.  business here.   The
•report   had  some    foundation,   but
-wltliln the last few days the Company
lias  made other   arrangements,   and
Instead of sending Mr.  Amrine back
to Flora, the  agency   lias  been   ten-
-dered to Mr. C. ¦    Sturm of this city,
and   Mr.   Sturm   has   accepted   the
work.
.Mr. Sturm for tlie past  five years,
or rather since the  establishment  of
the Record as a newspaper  in   Flora,
.  has been connected with  the  Record
oflice as its capable and ellicient fore-
I man.    During these years he has also
Ibeen quite successful  as a solicitor •and business-getter for the office.  He is a reliable, honest and straightfor¬ ward youBg man,   and   since   lie  be- FJlIeves the new field offers him  better w^opportunlties of future advancement Ithan the further pursuit of the   "art preservative," the  Record   can only •eluctantly concede the situation, and ivlsh   him   unbounded   success.    We isve,  however,  the   assurance  that Ir. Sturm will  continue,   as   a  side ' Ine,  to   represent   tlie   Record—the ewspaperand printing oBlce lie  has J long nnd so faithfully served-and ei ere and now we wish to say that any

His parents moved to Cincinnati in I'.MS in order that he miglit enter the Cincinnati University for the com¬ pletion of his education, and fit him¬ self for the Christian ministry. But within a short time afterward he was forced to le>ive tlie school because of failinjr health, and he was advised to seek a dilTerent climate. It was found his left lung was slightly effected,and that a case of tuberculosis might de¬ velop.

Tlien he was taken to Roswell. N. M., and immediately Ids health liegan to improve, and his lung'Miiuiienced to heal: but death loves a .-thinlng mark—he made the change too late—and on the loth of October he was stricken wltli severe pneumonia, and his deatii followed quickly.

The father, R. B.   Ingraham,   is  a
ular conductor  on  No. 1   on the

am have many warm  friends  In
