BIG TOWNSHIP COMMENCEMENT.

Marion, Newton and Union Will Join at Fair Oaks Jane 13. What will probably be the biggest township commencement held in Jasper county this year is scheduled for Fair Oaks on Saturday, June 13, commencing at 10 a. m., when Marion, Newton and Union will join in holding their commencement at ’that place. Marlon had but three graduates and Newton only one, not enough for either township to have much of a “blowout” over, or for both to join even. Union had 17 and the trustees of Marion and Newton arranged with Trustee Davisson of Union to hold their commencement with his class, thereby avoiding the expense and making a saving to each township. Following are the names of the graduates: Marion tp: Anna Reed, Willie Bond, Dorotha Brusnahan. Newton tp.: Ralph Chupp. Union tp.: Ettie Williams, Carrie Garriott, Ettie Piatt, Edna Babcock, Lawrence Halleck, Cordia Umfrees, Lois Meader, Ha%4 Helsel, Ocie Wood, Jocie Goldie Bundy, Katie Lena Schultz, Marie Comer, Matle McCoy, Isabel Longstreth, Mildred Gundy.
