JAMES, PARK WRI61IT. l s p R m o ^ s i - p . d M i o , l James Bark Wright’was born at Tranquility, Ojiio, May, 18, 1819; graduated at Miami University in 1843;. studied theology at Oxford, completing his studies at the end of the third year/ was licensed April 21 , 1846, by First Ohio Presbytery, and ordained and installed by Michigan Presbytery on May 4 ,1 0, os’pastor of Rossville, Mount'Hppe and Provi- deuce in Clinton County, Indiana, He was released ■May 16,1855,, and installed pastor of Cedarville, April 9, 1856. He was released from Cedar- ville op April'24,1860, then went to Jordan’s Grove and was StatedSupply for about eighteen months; was pastor of Bothesda congregation near Tipton, Ind., from April 4,1862, to April 10, 1866, He then taught in a female academy at Bloomington, Ind., for a short time and at Batavia, Illinois^ fora short period and returned to the ministry and was pastor of Salem con- gregntion, Elizaville, Ind., from Oct. 10,1868, to Dec. 1 . 2 , 1870, and at Mulberry, Mo., from April 14,1871, to Sept. 6,1874, After this he went inio the Freedmen’s work and was Stated Supply atNnshvilto, Tenn., for about a year and wns professor at Knoxville OUege, Knoxville, Ten:-., for about two years. While at Knox* ville lie had the oversight of the erec­ tion of the first college building for the Freedmen which was afterward burned. He tlicn went West and preached about a year' in different places and went.over into the Presby­ terian Church, After entering that body he was pastor of Wakarusa, Kansas, from 1879 to 1881; of Prairie Home, Illinois, from 1881 to 1886; of Robinson, 111., from 1887 to 1888; of Neoeha Falls, Kansas, from 1888 to 1889; of Pleasanton, Kansas, from 1889 to* 1890, when he retired and took up his residence at lola, Kansas, where bo still resides*. His pastorate was during a period when momentous questions were claiming attention and the interests of the church were overshadowed by those of State. It was a perilous time in which to guide the affairs of the congregation, and while it may truly: he said that the formation of the U. P. church Was the result of a great revival, that revival was confined to those localities where churches of both branches contemplating: union were located, and Cedarville was not so situated as to profit by the union prayer meetings* Her unanimous de­ sire .for union called for tod such meetings for prayer and conference, and the members Were left free to discuss and Wrestle with distracting political questions, which were blight* ing to spiritual life, Considering the times and the conditions, the pastorate Of Mr. Wright tnay be regarded as emintatly successful, for*during hie administration the congregation had eighty four aooesatqns, forty-six fey certificate, mid tblrtyelghl on profes­ sion. A weekly prayer masting Wall alrtooortduoted by the,women of tb# congregation Who were living to the town and those who attended hjiv# very vivid recollections of the fervent prayers that were offered and the spiritual benefits received. The greater number of those who asked for their certificates removed their membership to Clifton, and’ united with.u small . congregation at. that place which had formerly been known as' thpAfiami congregation of tfee Free Presbyterian church, which, had been, received into, the ’U . P, Church on June 28.T859, only about’ six months before, The Free Presby­ terian Church was a small body that split off from the Presbyterian church. ■ on account of disagreement oa the / question of slavery. The .members o f this branch, of the church, as their name suggests, were strong and un­ compromising Abolitionists. ' ' The Miami congregation wap small^ and weak and almost ready for dim-, lution when this 'accession from Ce- darviile rendered it self'supporting’, and enabled it shortly .afterward to call a pastor, and from that day to the present the Clifton .congregation. has valiantly upheld the banner of the Cross. * ' - DECISION QF SECRETARY OF STATE. Differences of opinion, have' arisen over the - question as.'to whether . . a person who. voted at the primary in Xenia could he allowed to e’gn a petition for”an independent- candi­ date and such petition still remain^ legal.- At a,meeting of the.Election. '' Board Wedn^ay evening the matter was broughfc up and the board ’divid­ ed. The Secretary of $tate has issued two opinions but they seem to conflict, consequently the board.were at sea a$ to know what to -do. The Secretary o f -State telephoned to, Lewis Cost, clerk of the board, that the case was to be reopened, conse­ quently Messrs. H. M. Barber and R, F. Kerr, accompanied by the clerk, went to Columbus Thursday to be to conference with Seoretary Lay- lin. At the meeting the par.tyiWas informed that he had -misconstrued the question and that Mr. Chandler’s name could' remain on the. ticket. Acting under Mr. Laylin’s advice the board will now get rid of that contro-. versy. The Yellow Springs primary aud independent tickets has as . yet not been settled. . 1 -; if *5 From the talk about the streets and stores in reference to Representative Ankcuey’s .primary election hill and the recent jobbery in otir primary where ballots were defaced there seems to be considerable uneasinesson the part of those concerned. The fefel' providesfor a fine of $50 to $100 and from three months to one year for offenders of •this law. There is only one way to stop the work of the '‘ma­ chine” and that ir to prosecute any­ one knCwn to take any part whatever - in such work. One prosecution with a,Stiff fine and a long jail sentence will give the people respectable pri­ mary elections, A small suit was brought by Meoh* ing & Hagier against J. W. Marshall for drilling a well several months ago and tried in Justice .court Wednes­ day. There seemed to be a, differ* ence in regard to what constituted a good Well. A jury, contistingmf H, H. McMillan, Alex. Kyle; Dankl Dean, Wm, Mitchell, Wra.Tllff and W. M. fiarbiaon,heard the arguments and decided imfavor c f the pletotfffii for the%amcunt asked.
