From that time onward th e ’ story ie -.one' wholly devoted to money and subscription papers and soliciting, committees, and ruling through winters cold and summers heat. The theme of deepest interest Campbell a t the social gatherings and dinner rev . p , Q. nogs. Alvin Molanchthon • was born Feb. 17, 1857,' a t Dovyitt, parties was the new church, and . the Iowa,,was graduated at Monmouth college in 1879 and studied theology at Xenia Seminary. He was licensed on A p ril''20,.-1880, d>y Muskiugum Presbytery, • and was ordaiued and installed as pastor of- WinterSet. Iowa, by Des Moines Presbytery on Oct, 17, 1881. H e remained until Oct. 21, 1884, when he resigned, to take up the work at Cedarviiie. He was pastor a t Cedarviiie from- April 14, 1885 until Ju ly 24,‘ 1888. He was pastor of Sewiokley, Pa. from 8ept, 11,. 1888, ubtil March 15,1892;- waa pastor of Princeton, Ind „ from Oct. 5, 1892 until Sept. 17, 1901, when be was resigned to take up the work, as supply o f -the Wagonner Place church a t St. Louis Mo., where lie is aow located. • His resignation of Cedarviiie was accepted with al­ most universal regret and the .session expressed by resolution their regret at his departure and their high ap predation of bis character and work. During his pastorate he received 35 members; on profession of their faith and 53 by certificate', and there was a loss by death and removal of 3D leav­ ing a net gain of 49. • Also during his pastorate, death claimed three members of session. Samuel Nesbit who died'June 6,1885, Eben Archer who died March 23, 1886, and Joseph McCampbcU who died Jan , 9 1888. The work for which his pastorate Was noted' was the building Of the present church edifice; The first ac* lion taken in the matter was by the session and trustees a t their quarterly joint meeting held Ju ly 31, 1886 which called a congregation meeting to meet owAugust 2 to consider the matter of erecting a new house of worship A t that meeting favorable action was taken and it was decided b build a new church. Another congregation ineetiug yyas held on Sept. 13 and the pastor, Rev. A, M. Campbell, Martin Barber, J . W , Pol lock and the trustees were appointed *committee to solicit subscriptions to buihl a new church at an approxi­ mate cost of $10,000, The first four risrrcs to he subscribed were Martin J , \ y f Pollock, Mrs. Jane Anderson and Rev. A. M. Campbell, and these subscriptions were made on; presentation- met with such success that at the congregational meeting held March 21, 1887 a building com­ mittee was appointed and instructed to'build a new church to cost not less than §8000. But a cinir'ch, like Rome, Was not built in a day, and the work of soliciting funds and se­ lecting plans was still to consume time. .Congregational meetings were held on August 15, and on Jan . 9 and 14 to arrange for and to decide on plans and 'material aud thorium erous details, until on Peb. 8, 1888, the contract was made by the build­ ing committee and signed by A. J , Elrick and Son for the building of the now church. The contract price o f the work was $8152.49 exclusive of the excavating; the windows and the furnishing. And now- the work of construction was actually -begun. The old church was moved over to the west side of the lo t -and |he con­ gregation Worshipped in -it during the summer and autumn. - By winter the new house was so far -completed that it was used for worship although it was fur from complete. Fo r various reasons however the time for its dedi­ cation did not come until November 17, 1889. ■ According to a previous arrange­ ments the communion services were observed in connection with the dedi­ cation, a t which time the pastor Rev. J . 0 . Warnoc.k had the assistance of Rev. A. M. Campbell, the former pas/ tor, Dr. W .. -A. Robb and Rev, Joseph Ifyle, There were 23 acces­ sions to the congregation a t this time, Oh Saturday Nov, 16 after a sermon by Rev. A. M. Campbell the an­ nouncement was made that the re* maiming debt on the building wa* nearly $1000, aud io response there were pledges given for all the amount and 8420 more than was asked. The dedicatory sermon on Sabbath was preached by Rev.' Joseph Kyle, who was (hen pastor of Springfield, Ohio. The entire cost of the church wheu completed was 811,000. The building committee was composed of; J . W. Pollock, W, M. Barber, Sani- ut*I Tarbox, Robert McCumpbell,' Alex, Turnbull and James Holmes. While the church was not completed no;* dedicated during Mr, Campbell’s pastorate, yet the work was so far un­ der way, the plans were so well form* ulated and the congregation gfi deter­ mined to finish the work, that it moved right on' during the vacant pastorate, anil was ready .for dedica­ tion shortly after the new pastor ' was installed. When \ve.remember that the inter­ val between .pastorates' ia the most critical in the life of tho congregation, it has been demonstrated again and again tha{ . Cedarviiie -congregation has carried on some of the most im­ portant work, and carried forward some of the most notable undertakings during just'such crucial periods. WANTS MORE PEOPLE . Under the proposed new municipal code for Ohio, all places with iOQOO inhabitants are to he- consider cities and all places under that -nmouhl simply villages, As Xenia . has' less; than 10000 people the Gazette is con­ soling themselves vith the idea that the city council should take In tho O. S. awl S. 0 ,'Hom e in order that they might have the required number. Possibly the Green street organ over­ looked tire County Infirmary, Alpha, Zimmerman and a half dozen other towns in tho west end of the county. This territory would bo a valuable acquisition to the city and should not bo overlooked. I t would be an insult to extend an invitation to those to come into the fold, for their country roads are far supeno:* to the city streets. Then it . would l a bitter pill for tho Gazette^ to liavo >o. swal­ low the idea that they were in a class with Cedarviiie, in fact, wc fear they next would ask lor a division of the, county in order that they would be separated from our town, FINER THAN EVER. Mr. David Bradfute, iu speaking of the Meadow Brook herd o f Polled Angus cattle which has given him great prominence in the cattle world, says tha t his herds are finer Ilian ever. He is of the opinion that the animals that Will he placed iu the show ring this season representing the herd will have less trouble thau ever before.; Last season the firm started out two herds, ouc east and . the other west. The same plan will he pursued this y ea r.. P rank Turnbull will go with the herd east and Herdsman Phillips west. . * " ’ • Buggies painted at Wolford’s, Local Option for Cedarvii e, DrugStoresCloseSundays, people of Cedarviiie' and Cedarviiie township is simply a question' of fact.

Since Eldorone the Jamestown horse which was sold re­ cently aud entcredrin the Grand Cir­ cuit races,- parties having horses show-, ing speed are devoting tliejir attention towards a last horse., Mr. Otis Wolford who resides south of town now comes out with a four yenr old mare that can pace a mile in 2:16. The animal is sired by Go-A-Head and is one of tho most promising of tho season’s offerings. Recently he was offered $1500 for the animal by a Dayton party but the value was placed a t $2000 and' the owner now informs us that this amount would not be a temptation, to part with the colt. Mr. Wolford tolls the writer that he will have the horse worked until fall and then seud it south for tho winter where it will be trained for the Grand Circuit races next summer. The mother of this colt was sold some time ago for $100 anti an effort is being made to regain possession of the animal, A n ­ other young horse was sold a t James­ town recently for $3000. Fancy lemons and oranges at Gray & Go.’s, ■ Frank Rolar and John Hajny, the two youthful defendants who have been on trial in Judge Kavanagh’s court, for nearly two weeks, were found guilty of the murder of Horace Shroades, and the ju ry fixed the pun­ ishment of IColar, who is seventeen years old, at injprisonmeutin the pen*, itentiary for life. .The punishment of Hajny, who Is one'year older than IColar was fixed at twenty-five yearn in prison. The verdict was returned a t 10 o’clock last evening, the ju ry ‘having spent nearly eight hours coining to an- agreement ip one o f the most unusual murder trials that over occupied the ; attention of a Chicago court.
