Funeral Sermon, During the winter of 1861-2 the pulpit was again supplied by the ’stu­ dents of the seminary a t Xenia. Some of whom were Rev. T. H . Hanna, (now pastor ofFirst Manmonth),D:H. . French, late of Columbus, Ohio, and J. A. McCall. In the autumn of 1862, a Unanimous call was made for Rev. J. A, McCall, o f Wheeling Presby­ tery. This.call was sustained by Pres- hytory on Dee, SO, *1862. Mr, McCall who had made arrangement! for. its favorable consideration, pre­ sented his certificate, which Was re­ ceived, and the call was presented and was by him acccepted. The Presbytery, however, attached the condition that lie complete his course •of study a t the Seminary.before his in­ stallation. His ordination and instal­ lation took place on April ' 10, 1868. Hr was allowed T9 take.charge o f the ’pulpit as regular supply after the moderation of the call. His pastorate began under,, most auspicious circumstances. The con: gregation had made steady and healthy growth in the interval be­ tween pastorates. Many of the sup plies had been among the most able and eloquent preachers of the'chtirch, their work had been -most successful; and the call was most liearty and uuauimous. He took up the work with all. the enthusiasm o f vigorous young maa- hood.* He had a commanding and majestic appearance, weighing about 210 pounds. He had a deep, heavy, yet musical voice, and enjoyed preah- ing the gospel, and was fluent, ani­ mated and even enthusiastic in his delivery, and when that great body of his moved about over the pulpit platform, energized by the spirit of enthusiasm within, be wielded a pow­ er over his audience. Whole souled in his friendship, kind hearted in his conduct toward his fellow men, and jolly in all his social relations be cap­ tivated the people both in and out of the pulpit. Dr. J . W . Witherspoon, pastor of the Fifth Allegheny church, who was McCall’s classmate used to my: “Mack, you can preach the easiest of any one I ever heard.” His pastorate like the Brat one, be­ ginning with great promise was doomed to short durrtion. He held his first communion'service immedi­ ately after hia installation and re­ ceived eleven jtf Fo.r* into' member­ ship. In July 18Q&, Gen, John Mor­ gan, off.1ie Confederate army, made * raid info Indiana and Ohio, and the Governor ordered all able bodied W d , preachers included, to camp a t Columbus. Jfiev, McCall protected snd said that he had a commission from one that was higher than the Governor of the State of Ohio, B a t Pa ren t and iu camp contracted a coM that brought on « fever th a t proved fatal, Co August 12 , 1863 , shortly after k»s return from camp, the session ap- Fafifed the dark, Joseph Kyle and Hr.

The chur Uyard however lies fn Belmont county, about one half mile south of the Harrison County line, The con­ gregation raised a fund with whi,ch they erected a monument to mark ins last resting place. I t had been one of his last requests that his remains be laid to rest beside those of his father, a most worthy man and sincere Chris­ tian who had died about four years previous. ' The last sermon that he preached in his own church was on August 2, 1863, from Rev. 3:17-18, and .the last sermon th a t he preached in his life was a Thanksgiving sermon from 1 Samuel 12: 23 26, I t was preached in the R.

After a lingering illness of several weeks Mr, Lewis Smith, commissioner of'this county, died at bis home near New Burlington, Wednesday morn­ ing at 6:45 o’clock, f .The public have from time to time noticed reports on his condition and for days back his death was expected most any time. Tbe immediate cause of his death was cancer of the stomach. Mr, ^Sinith waa-boru in Now Burlington 65 years ago, May 5, and has throughout his life resided in this county. Fo r some forty years he conducted a black­ smith shop in his town, and it was during this time that his business qualifications were proven to the pub­ lic. About five years ago be ran for the.office of commissioner and was elected by a huge majority. . On De­ cember 25, 1859 he was^ married to Rachel Craft, who survives him with nine children, Mr. Smith was a member of the M. E .

A t present Xenia has two Boards of Health from the the fact that there Was a division of the new board of four to two. Mayor Linkbart by law is presideut of the board, and it is largely by ids ruliugs that caused the division. The two sections might be termed the “ wets” and the “ drys” for it is from these factious that these men aye-chosen* I t happen* that the wets are in minority, Who with the Mayor tried to organize the body to suit Boss Schmidt., The Mayor absolutely re-, fused to entertain, any motion pu t by the drys, consequently they appealed {to th e . house and their resolutions would pass. A t present the city lias two health officers, Dr. McClellan for the <fdrys” and D r. DcHaven for the “ wets,*’ There will be another meet­ ing’ Monday night a t which time it will be determined who is in power. The main feature o f the program will be piano duets, both four and eight hand, The efficient instructor, of this department,. Prof, Belle Bga sell, p f Cincinnati has taken special care in selection of the music and is giving the students plenty of drill So that there need be no reason why the recital should not attract a large crowd Plano duets, both for four, and eight hand, music is something out of the or­ dinary for a Cedarville audience, and and the recital will .prove highly en­ tertaining. Preparations will be made to accohlodate quite a large crowd, ‘ w>, 1 * l i M'.I (?) .. | , ] , WHOWILL IT BE? ’ .The Term of Lews Smith as County Commissioner would not have expired until September 1903, .and there is considerable guessing as to whq will he appointed to fill the vacancy. Tbe law provides that in such cases the Probate Judge, Auditor and Record-, er shall constitute a committee with power of appointment for the unex- pired term. Joshua Barnett is the regular nominee for the offices and would take his seat in 1903, I t is said that he and Free Harshmau will both be candidates to fill the vacancy. Excursion toSpringfield.

The present system of Btreet sprink- liugjis giving fair satisfaction bu t i t ap­ pears to many that council should take some steps in the matter. A t present it is optional with the renter or property owner whether he sprink­ les, as it is paid by the week by who­ ever subscribes. I t does not seem f tir that one property holder should sprinkle and his neighbor not. Still the one who operates the Bprinkler is compelled to sprinkle this unpaid for space in Order that his Customers on either side shall be satisfied. The present system does not appear just to all. ■W« are told that where a certain per cent of the property holders dc- Bire sprinkling, the remainder must do so as they can be made to by ordi­ nance. This rule is in force in the larger cities and we cannot say as to whether or not it can be pu t in force here. Yet we would lUce to see some steps taken by council if they power to act, * 'have gourt b r ie f s Various Grist of Items From the MILLS OF J U S T I C E .
