This being all that received a majority of votes .their election was -made unanimous George Jackson was the only member of the session reelected. The other members of the old session then tend­ ered their*resignations which were ao- _ted, and Use new members were istailed on Friday May 1st 1874. Messrs Joseph Waddle and Samuel Nesbit'being ordained in .connection .with their installation. In those ex­ ercises the Rev. Richard Turnbull of­ ficiated, preaching- from the text ; found in Matthew 3:3 last clause, be­ fore the ordination. Oil the day set for •the installation, Mr, George Currie, one of the retired - riders, presented a paper of objections .against tbe ordination and installation of the new ciders. The objections were not considered valid, Or explicit enough to stop the ordination, and . Mr. Currie gave notice of an appeal to Presbytery, and the moderator and Austin McDowell were appointed to answer bis appeal to Presbytery. His appeal was not sustained and he passed out of the 1J, P. church entire­ ly* *• . » This reorganization of the congre­ gation by the provisional session did not completely settle the difficulty, *inl it was still unsatisfactory to a number of the congregation and an Sept. 20, 35 members again peti­ tioned Presbytety for a Second Cedar* ville congregation, This was not ■; granted. They were advised how* ever to go hack and acquiesce in the action or else withdraw and join other congregations, which they did. Two of the retired elders and their families connected with Dr, Morton’s congre­ gation, another and his family went toClifton, two more with their famil­ ies went to the 2nd Xenia church and some other members connected with the First Xenia congregation. To­ day we write ami read tbe account as given litre ns history. The- old time bitferneggJms passed away, Many of thole who withdrew are back in the old church atul happy in their church relatione, and the mellowing process of. time baa ripened its harvest of peace. Not one of those who re­ signed was (-(insurable,. They were guilty of no neglect or severity in. of* fW«l action, but had reached that piste where their services were not " acceptable and their usefulness wa* gone, They were honest, conscient­ ious men, loyal to their church, de­ fied to their Master, but like many a sincere pastor had fo. retire from the field for the good of the work, -The M#plit.Mwas a blessing in disguise, hike Paul and Barnabas of old, good people somctimes.havo sharp content* , toms and separate and after time it to bare been for the heat. ,At the meeting of Presbytery State this difficulty #** tatwtiffttoi. and arrangements were made for the reorganization, the excitement and in­ terest reached the rhighest tension ever attained in the history of the congregation. The members o f Pres­ bytery made earnest appealsy impas­ sioned exhortations and fervent prayers in the interest of peace and some even indulged in plain speech seasoned with humor and satire. Ampng many of the amusing things remembered were “hits”’made by Dr. McMichael. In trying to show how the interests of the congregation >were of more value, than the personal interests Of any elder,-he likened ,it to a story told" of Abraham Lincoln. At one time after a- great battle where the Union forces had suffered the loss of some of Brigadier generals and a large mule train, some friends were bemoaning the Toss in the presence of the President,' He replied that he did not feel the loss of- the generals so deeply as the* mule train, for said he, “I can make all the Brigadier generals that I need but I cannot make mules,” “And” ■ continued tbe Doctor “we can make all the elders ,we need very easily, but we cannot make congregations.” One of the elders who was asked to resign, declared that if he was com- polled to do so, he would go. clear out XENIA GOES DRY, of the denomination. In reply to this the Doctor ,said that when he- was ft boy ho studied tbe traits of ani­ mals and, had, observed that when.a sheep was lurned’oufc of the houfto, it would bleat round and try’ to get back, but when a hog was turned out, it would immediately tijrn around and fry to “ root” the pen over. At that time these things, which now seem amusing, were doubtless re­ garded as tinned with sharp stings. We caii now recall them With a smile but then they were in a time and un­ der conditions when their humor could npt .be enjoyed. I t was a critical time in the history of Cedarville Con* gregatioD, but she passed-through, it and it is an unfailing tribute to her strength that she could pass through such an ordeal and live. On Sept, 28,1874, thp congrega­ tion again presented a call to Pres­ bytery, This time for Rev. J . B. Whitten of.Beaver Valley Presbytery. I t was sustained forwarded,but was too late. Before it reached him he had. accepted elsewhere and the congrega­ tion was doomed to a second disap­ pointment* WELL KNOWN ACTOR ILL EdmUhu Rruseella, who played here several timeB, each night .to crowded houses, is” confined to his home a t Springfield with-that dread disease, consumption.

The campaign for local option which,.has been the sole topic of..con­ versation in Xenia has now come to a close and it closed in a blaze of glory for the “Drye,” The liquor men were out bright and parly and opened matters in Xenia’s notable Fourth ward for the purchase of floating vote's. A full and fair expression on the question is expressed by the large number of votes caBt, 2155 as,against 1767 at the local option election last September. There iif much speculation among the temperance people as to what steps the liquor men will persue as’ thiscannot help but be a, death blow to them and their cause far at least two years. The temperance people may how bring action against any violator of Beal Jaw before the Mayor,' Justice of the Peace or Pro bate court; and the. grand jury may take up the case and. violators will have to answer® before the court of Common Pleas or tlio mayor of any village or city jib the county. The Cain law is the most important law that has been passed towards the the interests oi temperanee, It pro­ vides that the taking out of. the U, f*>. revenue license is prima facie evidence that the person holding it isJselling intoxicants and it will thus he easy - -for-tbe-Auditor-teHissess^heJfow-tax- againBt the person or persons., There are few who'care to attempt the side of liquor without paying the govern­ ment tax.

The light and sunshine oi her young life'attracted a large- circle, of friends,among them.was Samuel Lew­ is M^Counaughey to, whom she was married April 21st 1887 and to whom she bore three children, Blanch, Ver­ non and Charley, who survive to Cherish her memory," Her life.was made beautiful by the ornaments of a meek and quiet spirit. She was a real queen in her botne and a mother of rare tact and wisdom motived by a mother's love. She will be sadly missed in the home circle and the neighborhood where she made many friends who learned to love her because of her- steading' character. She united with the .Methodist Prot­ estant church in her 18th year and gave her heart to God in the days of her youth. She wag no t' content with the mere form of service without the power, She Bought and found the pearl of great price and retained it as an honored guest and1a rich in­ heritance, making her life. worth living nnd a joy forever. —For her— To live was. Christ a'njd to die was gain. When she moved to Cedarville she transferred her mem­ bership to the M. E, church of that place where she was highly respected, and honored and proved herself to be a Christian. She was an afiicted daughter for 17 months suffering in- tensly. As slio neared the end she like the Apostle had an intense desire to depart' which is far better. , She became perfectly resign to leave hus­ band nnd chjldren and fly into the arm§ of her Saviour who was waitihg to receive her spirit -in the Paradise prepared for those who love him.

The late Hannah Owens was born in Clark Co., O,, April 19th, 1856j, and departed this fife a t her home on Chillicothc Btreeh Cedarville, 0 ., June 12th at 2 a, m, when she slumbered suddenly into the long long sleep from which no Christian ever wakes to weep, She retired at 10 p. m. ns well ns usual. Owing to heart trou­ ble her spirit fled swiftly to the heav­ enly Caanan prepared for those "who follow in the footsteps of the Master, She was united in marriage to A. C. Owens Sept. 27, 1877, .It was a Un iou of hearts as welt ns hands and nothing but death could eej them so peaceful and happy was their life. The fruit of this union in blessings none can estimate until the great Judgment day. They were blessed by five promising children. The first born died in childhood, four sue vivo to keep in loving memory a mother’s love. She was gilted by God with a beautiful disposition en abfing her under tbe many trying cir­ cumstances of fife to have wonderful mastery over her temper and words?* Her bodily, infirmities sanctified by* the Grace of God sweetened her life’ with patience and forbearance. She treated her step children in tlu* kind- est manner so that love and harmony controlled the household. The words of Solomon fflay well be applied to her “She lookctli well to the ways of her household and csto.th not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband, also and he praiseth her.” “A woman that feareth the Lord sjhe shall Em praised.” She was an affection­ ate wife and mother, .fidtWal fri*»4 j»nd kind neighbor, She was x de­ voted Christian and *« member of th# M» E- Miureh from j,irifytajd, a living faith and a bright Hope of Immortality and everlast­ ing life. She waa a living and Loyal child of the King and was ready when the Angel of death called her to the Home of the Soul. She frequently conversea with her husband as to the manner of her going. Her anticipa­ tions were fully realized in her sud­ den departure, "Then lot our sorrow* cease to flow God has recalled his pwn But let our hearty in every woe Stilt say thy wilt be done.’” YES Oft NO Should he Before Our Citi­ zens on 4 he Question OF LOCAL OPTION .

Some of the members of the- courthouse commission are inclined toHbink they have.a'right to Connect to the main sewers, and that, this can be done by applying to the State Board of Health which body Could order the connection and there is no appeal, from this, boards"decision.

In a reqent issue of. ttie Herald our readers possibly- read an article in reference to a-„ report that the Re­ formed Presbyterian church had asked for admission into' the .United Pres­ byterian church'at the recent meeting of the General Assembly. ■This re­ port is now denied and according to a communicated article below there is no truth in the report. Our infor­ mation on the subject’came from one well up in educational circles and one in whom we have utmost confidence, consequently we did- not deem ifcmec osearyr to verify the report. While the report had been in circulation for over a ’week, before it appeared in Sprint, we had in no instance ever heard it denied, hut since the article appeared the report has been "vigor­ ously denied. The Rev. Dr, Morton has asked permission for a letter, which we cheerfully grant. We do not care to taka Up the discussion of the matter blit will reserve the right to investigate and a t some future time give the result to our readers. reformed nnimiYTEritAHa did not ask fob admission , M r . E ditor : In the columns of the Cedarville Herald for Juno 20tb it was stated that the “Reformed Presbyterian church had asked for admission into the United Presbyterian church.” The facts are, Mr. Editor, that the Reformed Presbyterian church neither “as a whole” Boy even in a .single instance asked for admission into the United Presbyterian church. Believing you were misinformed; and for the sake of truth as well as for the continuance of the gged will between the tL F. and R, P. church­ es, I ask you to publish this denial of last week’s statement.

We beleive there is scarcely a citizen ■ in this township, but has heard Of the recent local option election in Xenia and to some extent has taken more or less interest in the work from a moral standpoint. . How, Xenia has been favored with a local option election under the.Beal law Bnd her people have said that there is to be; no sa ­ loons . Jamestown has had local option for Over ft year and they have. no saloonBnor the sale of liquor;in any manner. Then, why does Gedar- vilie Btay irt the rear? Why cannot wo have a local option election for corporation and township? The sen­ timent expressed in the extremely large vote at Xenia Tuesday tells us that Greene county m\ist be a local option county and we beleiveher peo- J pie want it so. We may hear that by the expulsion of the saloons the drugstores will only be benefited. Yes, this may be true, hut iflaws and ordinances are enforced there is no reason why they cannot be stopped. We have a two fold.object in view in advocating local option for Cedar­ ville, Firet, that it will have a ten­ dency towards raising the moral stand­ ard and second,it wifi be ofgreat ben­ efit to Xenia and Jamestown itt that parties cannot drive here and get * supply. The day is not far distant when our county will not have wbat is known as ft “wet” precint in it Then in a local option county the' people will find that men of high standing can fee elected, to township, and county officieK(for “ring rule” cannot exist when the saloon and drain shop drugstore are delegated to a the rear. We will find some objection to local option other than in . tbe drinking desses but the majority should always rule, and only by ah expression secured through an elec­ tion can the will of the majority be ■ determined. Let us have local option for corporation and township. APPOINTED COLLECTOR, Dr, D. 0 .
