V Of U, Fv Church ued by Rev; Contin- vOSS* INSTRUrtENTAL MUSIC Discussed at Meeting of Session™•A Par* sonage wastErcckd forThe Pastor And Was Dedicated by an Old-fashioned Dance . On Jan . 28,1870, the Presbytery mot in Cedarville and together wi'lh the congregation engaged in the -solemn service of “ public dedication o f themsolves the Lord " This was n very helpful service and yield­ ed a neh spiritual hutyost. . On August U» 1880 the eessionov- dered an election of four additional elders to be held on AugusfcfiO, But on that date tho-funeral of Mr. John Turnbull occurred and ’ the election Was postponed until Sept- 6. Mr, Tttrnbull had been one, of the oldest members o f the congregation and bad been a ruling elder-for several years. On Sept* 6 when they met the con­ gregation decided •to elect only two Holders and chose Thomas A, Spencer and J . W. ’Pollock, after .the pastor "had preached from1,the tex t found in Eph., 4:30, ■ The elders elected .signi lied their acceptance of the- office on Sept* 13 and they were ordained and installed after a sCrmou preached by the pastor from 1 Timothy, 5: 17 on Oct. 22. On March 1V, 1881, there was a conference on the propriety of the pastor accepting nil invitation to preach nt Adaiiisville, Pa., and the ‘action of the ' pastor in *accept­ ing the invitation was indorsed. On April 5, 1882, the delegate .to Presbytery was instructed to Vote on toe overture concerning the use of instrumental music, in accordance with the Wish o f the majority of the Session. The session stood nt. that time three opposed' and two in favor >of instrumental'music. On August 8,1883, the pastor gave notice to the session of his resignation on account of impaired.health, and a congregational meeting was called to meet on August 20, and a t this meet iug th j congregation acquiesced in the resignation, life resignation was pre­ sented to Presbytery on August 23 and was accepted. During his pas­ torate lie received 58 on profession of their faith and 00 by certificate, aiul there was a loss by death and removal of 57 leaving a net gain o f 01 o r over -58 per ceiitv Steady growth slid pro­ gress was made in all departments of the work. The missionary contribu­ tions steadily increased, the Sabbath school grew In numbers and liberality, and during his incumbency the Ladies Xiisaionf-ry society was organised. The most notable*work of bis pastor­ ate was the erection of the parsonage, When lm was called be Was promised ft salary of $1000 per year without a parsonage, bu t after that was built his salary was changed to $900 and the free use of the parsonage, , The parsonage when built was in a field and was outside the corporate limits of the village. The lot was purchased from Mr, Alex. Townsley. . The street upon which it now fronts was not yet; opened, and the pastor wlien be cirne to occupy the now manse, found himself at. large in a fidd, with the bouse fronting mptffl the pig pen of tui obdurate neighbor, Shortly s t a r the parsonage was <tc* cupjed, the corporate limits were ex­ tended to include it; presumably lo givo tbo village marshal oversight of the pAator, the street running north* ward was opened out ami the odorous pig pen was removed. The building parsonage and stable, which ■ was built a t the same, time, was about $1300. A lot had been donated by Alex. Townsley, bu t i t was not satis­ factory to a number of the congrega­ tion, and the present site, which was a better location, was purchased and the house was built iu 1870. The contractor, before the house : was turned over to the committee and be­ fore it was occupied by the pastor, al­ lowed some of the young ’people of the neighborhood to have an evening social in the building, and this gath­ ering turned out to he ah old-fash­ ioned dance, with a large attendance. The memory, of that dance- still lin­ gers in the minds of some who have since- grown too old to dance, and who have since that day become some of the most estimable members of the church. . I t was on an occasion of rare sport on the part of tl e young­ sters to dedicate the .parsonage with a dance. , Hugh Forsythe Wallace, was born Nov, i 2 , 1843, a t Fairview., Guernsey Go.

He was released from that charge on Feb, 1, 1891 and then moved to Mt. Ayr; Iowa, where he was pastor from April 28, 1891 to March 30, 1892.

Possibly the finest piece of art glass ns well as the costliest in the county can be found in the north window of the new I t P . church. Mr. Chns. Lett, the traveling repro tentative 5f the Tiffany A rt Glass company of New York, was here mid look -d after the placing o f the window in position. The outward appearance of the win­ dow is a heavy frosted glass^used to protect th« inner from frost, heal and storms. The window is one of the finest ftiado by this company, they be­ ing the only people in this country that manufacture,the favrilfi„glass, and such a piece-of a rt should be highly valued. • The window is made of five think* nesses of glass of all colors. The large circle in the center shows the Resurrecting Angel with outstretched arms over two Angels o f Pence, “The duly painting about the window is in the face, hands and feet o f the Angels and the lettering. The folds of the cloak are made* in the glass and are perfect. I t is in this that the Tiffany people excel, They do very little painting. In the largo circle is the Benediction, “ The Grace o f the Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the Communion oi the Holy Ghost lie with you all, Arnett,1’ while aero* the lower portion o f the win dow proper Is the following; “ To the Glory o f God and in loving memory of Robert ■Chariton Kohl, horn May 31, 1795/ entered into rest October IT, 1865.11“Below the Window on a brass plate is embossed the fol­ lowing inscription: “Robert Chariton Retd was for over forty years a ruling chief of this congregation, and clerk dfj«wnoH.v There is no oho about v.wbst iM fp s t <?f tlje ir iii The-multitude of letters now re- ceivcd'.daily at the Ohio Experiment Station indicate that the chinch hug is threatening immeiise’.injury to the corn and oats crops of the state, and it is leafed that farmers are expecting too .much of the fungus which the> Station is distributing. In the first place,- the amount of this material which it is practicable to send out is extremely small, and it can only infect a compartively small number of bugs,, a t the best; the in­ fection, moreover, will require four or five'days, by which time the army of bugs will have dope great, injury. Our advice is, therefore, not to wait for the fungus; but to organize a campaign a t once for the immediate relief o f tile crop, .depending' upon the fungus to finish the work <.by. de­ stroying the. bugs which would other­ wise live over winter to menace the crops of next year. The chinch bug, though able to fly, prefers to travel on the ground, and its migration from wheat to oats or corn may be intercepted by making a V shaped trench; as with the corner of a hoe or the outside tooth of a col* tivnlor, and pouring in. a little coal tar, A .line of tar an inch across will be sufficient, When a crust forme over the tar it must be freshened with a new supply. As the bugs cuter a cornfield their progress may *bo im­ peded by frequent cultivation of the outside rows of corn, thus' burying many of the bugs. When they clus­ ter on the stalks of corn they may he killed ' by sprinkling with kerosene emulsion, made'ns follows, and throw with sufficient force to wash “them off the corn. ‘ ■ . kkhosbne emulsion .

For that reason, and tov one other which will be fold further on, the: local col­ oring of the -event lingers in my mem­ ory. For years and years Cedarvilffi had ex ited under the* protecting care o f an old hand fire, engirt of the vintage of 1840, which would, throw a stream half way across the town i f properly encouraged. I t was built like a box nmttrees, and was named “Ncptuue.” But the onward march of progress, or Manifest destiny, pcriiaps. Struck the town. She saved up /or three or four years, and finally, after a continuous and stormy debate, lasting through all that period, upon the extravagance of the appropriation, lAught ii.hrand uew Steamer, that was ns pretty as a spotted pup. The old hand-engine was pu t in Bill Towusley’s livery stable, anil used as a feed-box, while the new Btoamer was installed in iho Towa Hall and rubbed down daily with snpolio and bath brick, As a saloon fornis p a rt of our stage setting, it may be explained here thftt Iho town plays a s iu g lcW system on the temporunce question,,^^Fpr.n fow years the “drys” will couriol tldugs, aud the druggist connect a beer keg with the Vichy tube and watch for quivering eyelids. Then again, the “ wets” will induce the town to put on metropolitan airs, aud the saloons reopen'. There .used to be an anil* saloon element which had a playful habit of putting a few pounds of dynamite under a saloon, lighting tlife fuse aud letting nature take her course the watchword was: “ The saloon must go!” The last time they amputateda saloon, the building, bar- keeper aud bired girl- went clear over into the next township, sad the bosom o f mother earth was all cluttered up with broken glass, and gin ric^eys «ad cocktails ami highballs that were seat teml boyond hope. The hired girl stayed where she fit, aud married ami, is doing right well. Her husband likes to tell about how oddly they were thrown together, but lie has never headed a subscription fo ra monument to the inventor of dynamite. The bar-keeper kept goingi This bright May morning n loud yell of “ Fire” swept up Main street. Everybody did iiu undress sprint to the Town Hall, for they wanted to see the new machine make its debut* There was a richer decollete effect than the French ball can give a t that hour* To add to the excitement,' the fire was located in one of the sa­ loons, The people waited, with ex eu&able fretfulucBS, the arrival of th i mutt who had the keys to the engine room, In due course o f time he came round the earner*, with his hat in his baud and his suspenders drag* ing, He wa* shouting; “ IVhero i t is? Where is it?w . After absent-minded, vain attempts to unlock the doors with Ms hat, he bethought himself o f th e . key. Then everybody pushed and pulled the cn glue to the lire, That is, everybody except a hoW-legged man o f aomeTal fin!, who had chaperoned a traction engine during the last harvest season, and had t e n dalegafed «» chief girif'T**v-,'r'r^-'V,YrY'’- ~r***':r...•v-""'y After the steamer was planted, it was dlsoovewd lhat ws had Inafiyer* tmtXy omftted-.. tha hote-oart. , Ba they there were great doings,- getting the hose laid. All this while the fire was attending strictly to business, and the saloopist wept as he saw his fly-speck­ ed ‘.‘Tom find ’Jerry” and “Ho t Lunclr signs go into the remorseless maw of the devouring element,, But, after the first shock, stoically wiping his eyes on his insurance policy, he cheered up a trifle. A t last the hose was du ly connect­ ed, The chief of the hose brigade grasped the nozzle and assumed the attitude, of Ajax issuing his ultima turn to the trolley trust. He turned to the chief engineer, who .' was squinting a t the water gauge like a man’ trying lo bluff the thermometer on a July afternoon, and yelled: “ Let’er go.!’* The chief engineer turned a little wheel. • Aothing doing. He turned another wheel. M.oro nothing doing. He pulled . a lever and. twisted a crank. . Same sad news, He stepped to the tool-box to get a wrench, when a wave'of light came over his under­ standing, Jlising, with a jerk pccu- iar-to a man -who has mentally sat upon a bent pin, be announced: “ Weil-, by g o sb t-I fergot to light the lire under that Filer!” We WtUy dumped a gallon of ker­ osene-in the' fuel box, and touched rer off. She flared up beautifully, aud the steam gauge jumped the lim­ it iii about three minutes, But ju st as we were getting tlie hose disen­ tangled and ready to squirt on the fire, the goldarned-engine blew up, with a terrific explosion that tempor­ arily distracted the attention or the Fire Department from Us immediate task of fighting the conflagration. Then wo al) .went up to Tcwnsley’s stable and dumped the liny and chopped -feed out Of old Neptune, ran him down to the fire and put it out. As one indignant citizen expressed it, “A teller could ’a’ took a fair-sized chaw o’ terbneker an’ spit th* blame bluzc out” by the time ‘we had got ft stream into action, and nothing was saved except the feelings of the -Fire Department, who blamed it all on the chief engineer. ' * Now the editor of the local paper, who was ft brainy man with a stanch pride in his town and a desire to sell lia paper and move away, was thpro. He told me it Was a good item, I wrote the fire up for another paper. Borne kind friends did not want my lit­ erary ability wasted, so they mailed marked copies to the prominent citi­ zens o f Cedaryille. As a result I ’was invited-—even urged—to go where no fire engine would be of any avail, That week, iu addition to an item be­ ginning: “ Our usually quiet village was thrown into a state of intense ex citement Tuesday morning,” etc., the large editor livened up his paper with half’a column Of argument tending to show that I was a hectic flush on the cheek of nature, And' now, if I should go to Cedar* vilte, and the town burned down be­ cause the steamer is being used for an ice box, far be it from me to pu t pen to ink and say a.word about it. \V.

The company contend that tbe hose’ has shrunken which accounts for - ‘the shortage of some fifteen feet. This company, .through the- Queen City Supply company of Cincinnati, their agents for this state, have notified the council that they will forward their check for the amount of the shortage or else send a 59 foot section of hose in order to make out the number of feet. The council decided to accept ■the company’s check a t the contract. price per foot. The contract o f Iliff Bros, for repairing fire cisterns was read and accepted.

After a lengthy discussion iu regard to the Dr, iCmsley "bill for .services during the smallpox epidemic council took a re­ cess until Wednesday evening, The Wednesday evening session was in a^mannor indescribable. There have been sessions of council held .iere where there was too much said but it was not so. on this evening. Those present had little to say. on any of the important subjects that came up. The Dr. Knisicy bill was taken up and after a short discussion, At­ torney Dakin of Yellow Springs rep ­ resenting Dr. Kttislcy presented the case to council and Urged the pay­ ment ot Hip bill or the D r. would ; bring suit. The bill lias been in the hands of council tor about two years and is now iu the hands of council under a bow administration. There seems to be no objection to­ wards the payment of tbe hill for medical services bu t council will not agree on one of the statements, that of the burial of Mrs* Phillips"for which the Dr. asks $25, Council contends that they have no right to pay Suoh ft bill. The-original bill, was $186 with interest for two and one half years makes ft total of $213,90. According to the bill the corporation is charged for services beginning April 16 and the minutes of the hoard of health show that he was no t hired until April 27, consequently there was over charge to the amount o f $30 which council wanted deducted from the bill. Attorney Dakin said tha t if Such was tho case' that amount should be deducted. The hi1] theft Stood $145.80 by deducting ike amount o f over charges and lateroat* A motion W as then made to allow this hill hul it defeated grounds that council could* not pay the $25 for assisting in the burial o f the smallpox patient; Another wo* lion was made to allow the hill lew {$25 which left $120.80 r -A b The Dr. and'kiY Attwacy immediately jwti&ed eeumfil that ifety weald a«$ room. §m T.aat.
