Iaut Monday evening a thief vis­ ited the barn ofMr. Frank ,Hawkins, north of Xenia, and stole a wagon anti team. From there he went to J , li. Brewer’s ham on Marcus Hhotips place and loaded the wagon with wheat. After his theft he drove direct to Springfield and snhl the wheat early the next morning, before the police had been notified to be on the lookout, receiving #24.57 for hie toad. The man *nou tied the teem to ‘ffai CiMrseairaska. Fred Emerson Brooks, the noted California poet gave one of hfe inimi­ table entertainments at • the opera house last Saturday. Hfe entertain­ ment consisted in iresding bis own poems and an entertainment could not have been hatter planned, Hfe poems include the humorous, the pathetic,ilw heroic, the religtou^ and the patriotic, and selection* of each kind were given. ‘Hfe delineation of a boyish char­ acter was almost imrfect, as evidenced fa hfe poems, ‘‘Whistling out of Tans,” and “The Wasp a t Carop- ‘rnuMeg.* Hfehintation o f the ham yard fowls and aniaMfe brought down the house, ‘ - The entertafamtmt was two hour* long, yet the audience never wearied iw the least bit. He visaed with “Pickett’s Charge a t Gettysburg.’* Titfe.poem (me been said to equal the “Charge of the fright Brigade,” and those that were funking for some­ thing grand, were in no sense dfe- aptmlatad. Mr. Brooks gave a description of each poem which was a* entertaining as the poem itself. Inn great many ways we uau safely say that Mr, Brooks was one o f the best entertainers that ever appeared before a Cedarville audience. The will WMIPrstaUSL of the late i «>| *»* »»i ui iw i w «.
