Among those .who preached -in the ’church* in early ^Ime8 was one minis­ ter named Archibald, Nesbit', From 1853 he was a statetisupply a t Yellow Springs for a year or more, and fre­ quently came over' to CedatviUe to preach. He had been born, educated, , licensed and ordained in Scotlftnd,and came over to tips country and .joined the Bullionites. He was highly ed­ ucated, scholarly Tu all his sermons, and was a brilliant and magnificent speaker. His appearance was so pe­ culiar us to attract attention a t On'ce and was not easily forgotten, " He had a massive forehead aiid a,deep valley rail from his nose upward." His brain seemed to bulge bis forehead outward on either side, giving him it Very strik­ ing and intellectual appearance. He joined the Associate Reformed Church- in Feb. 1853, supplied' Yellow Springs, .-until 1855; .when, he're'rooved "to Chi­ cago and .gathered'together the Asso­ ciate Reformed church a t that place. Beiug. ah, attractive and' eloquent speaker, the church grew rapidly, ‘fIn 1858 he and a majority of the congre gallon, reiueed to-enter the union and united with the Old School Preaby- Wi'ian Church, ’ b.ut the .minority Swat 50 or 80) favored the H .

We give them in - his own language, and to those who recall them they were ot that day certainly ludicrous: - 1* , “Infants were numerous a t church in the parly'day# of the congregation^ enced 885 per month/- The following are the directors and, districts: A. L. Ferguson, 1; J . C-- Stormont, ,2; N, L , Ramsey, o; R, B, Barber, 4; J , Ed Turnbull, 5; J , H.- Stormont, 6; W. R.

H i ... “Sleeping in church” became a. habit with quite a' number of the members along - in the -50s. They wool# every Sabbath courteously-bow the head arid .swing it back till" the Underjaw would drop and the mouth whs open to.cuteh th e young fly stroll­ ing,, around- on- th e Sabbath' day hgainst its toother's wishes ‘They in this way assented to all the preacher said. One warm Ju ly Sabbath, Rev. .Cunningham JackBon was home on « visit and preached on Paul’s long ser-< men ht T rails,. “A yotfng man,” he Said,- ^w e n t' to steep while Paul preached and fell dow«.from the third loft' and broke his neck. ' I t served him right, tor he had no business to go to sleep; but if all those ,wt|p are now sleeping would fall out, the chlirch would soon. become depopu* lated.” I t was wonderful hpw .quickly the sleepers began .to .wake up and try to shake off their drowsiness.” Sleeping in church might be re* garded as a compliment to the preach­ er of those times, I t Was a high. trib­ ute to his orthodoxy,.at least that the watchful elders could entrust the preaching of sound theology to him without fear, o f heterodoxy being Sown while they slept... Other amusing incidents -from the pen of Rev, H , P. Jackson will be given n ex t week. - FORMAL GATHERING. . A number of invited citizens met a t the township clerks office last Friday evening to select delegates to the Con­ gressional convention, ' Those invited met a t C. M. Rfdgway’s drugstore and marched from, there So a body to the clerk's office about ten minute* be* forejjeveii o'clock, ibis being the ap ­ pointed hour for the gathering. The affair being one of those formal political society functions, the public was not Rware of what Was taking place on that evening. The guests were enter* tained in * mamier fitting to the oc* caslon, while the “ leaders” mingled with the “ lesser lights” for a few mo mentis and announced the slafo. There is no doubt bu t that % very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all present, for a t exactly seven o'clock the guests, 15 in number, took their departure, Softm going one direction arid some another but most o f them returned to the place from which -they came, presumably to finish the celebrity o f the evening# The affair being strictly formal;, none only invited guests were present. No doubt those present will look forward to many more Ilk# event*; SCHOOL BOARDS ORGANIZE. The township school board met irt the clerk's office Monday and effected the following organization?

Another meeting was called for Tuesday evening, at the request o f Will Frey, who. represents the Spriugfield. & Washington 0- H .

Mr# Frey reports that they have contract* ed> for private right of way from Springfield to" Washington G. H. and that they are ready for their fran­ chise. There seems -to be an inclina­ tion towards getting the two Frey roads' mixed. One is Will Frey, the other Harry Frey. The latter was granted fra n c h is e last year but al­ lowed it to expire* VACANT HOUSES SCARCE. There seems to be .quite a scarcity of houses to rent, that is houses that are suitable for the majority of clti- zeus. The present situation has caused, rents to be raised; and they will con­ tinue to rise so long as the situation exists. As there are quite a number of vacant lots in town that would make desirable ’building siles, the owners Would certainly find paying investments-should they build cot­ tages thereon this coming summer. We need more cottages. ,Who will he the first to build?
