The pastor elect took up the work,,^regularly on the third Sabbath of May, and on 'Juite ’7 oc­ curs the first notice of his moderating the session*■ when the tiule of ses­ sion meeting was changed back to the second Wednesday. He was installed on Sept. 10. The commission origi­ nally selected was Rev. ’J, W- Smith; Rev. Joseph Kyle .and Rev. J. K. Martin. The two latter were kept at home by sickness and the en­ tire work fell upon Mr. Smith, who was at that time the pastor of 3d Xenia. He preached from Matthew 6:33, and addressed both pastor and people. v On March 12,1890 the session had an informal conference anent the elec­ tion of,elders, and March 18, theyre- Bolvcd'unanimously to call mi election of four additional elders, to bo held on April 2.

This was taken up on Feb. 12, 1896 and. was not granted; That dosed the instrumen­ tal music question in the congrega­ tion. The young people shortly after­ ward purchased an organ aud it has been used in their service ever since. On Feb. 3, another series of evang­ elistic services began. This time they were conducted by Rev. L. E. Hnyrk aesisted by Prof. A. McClel­ land as singer. These gentlemen at that! time were the synodical' evange­ lists. 1These meetings continued Tor two weeks, and there were* 22 acces­ sions. On June 9, 1897 the pastor gave notice to,the session of his in­ tention to offer his resignation at a called meeting of Presbytery. He conducted'communion services of the congregation-, on. Sabbath, June 20; 1897 and his resignation was, present­ ed and accepted August 2*4, 1897, by Xenia Ffesbyfery.

Scotland. He whs licensed Sept. *5, 1882 by Rook Island Presbytery and was ordained and- in­ stalled as pastor of Le .Claire Prairie Congregation by Le Claire Presbytery on Jurte 26, 1883.

The following bulletin relative to Tomato leaf spot and mufeknielon blight, issued by the Ohio Agriculture Experiment Station at Wortster, will be of interest to gardners. and others in this locality. . .. *. The Ohio Experimenfstation warns toirinto growers to be on the aiert for tomato leaf-spot and to begin early in their measures for its prevention. The prevailing wet weather is favor­ able to this disease which may again prove destructive as in 1898 add 1900 Spraying tho plants with Bordeaux nixture at intervals of two or three Weeks promises very large returns should such moist weather continue. Gardeners and truckefs' are also warned to begin ‘spraying for the drtwrty rtiildew of muskmelons find cu­ cumbers, should their plants promise to yield after the middle ot August. Earlier spraying for. this" disease waft not required,hut from the present date forward, treatment should he made at intervals of 8 to 10 days; if a Me yield is anticipated , The Cincinnati people prefer to call the street fair department of their Fall Festival “The Plaza/' Certain­ ly if there is anything in a name the choice of Plaza is a happy one, and the situation of it in a beautiful park adorned with fine old trees, and-gush- ing fountains, even ino^e fortunate. When it comes to choosing Plaza features, there are certain entertain­ ing shows, that can never be exclud­ ed from the .category. Therefore the trained animal show, to please the1 children and the. lively Moulin Rouge aud Streets of all Nations to stimulate the grown ups, will be met with at Cincinnati, When we visit the Festi­ val next {September. Also the Snake Swallower, like the poor, he^is al­ ways -with us, and how vve would miss his naucous yell, if by any unforseen aceident be omitted to ply “his liyely trade where all the world and lus wife •meet their neighbors, on the Plaza. Then there will be the Juvenile, The­ ater, where the sweetest/ little child­ ren dance and sing, reminding one "of the faries aud elves one use to know about a hundred years ago. But. the preverted originutorof this juvenile theater does not let us make acquain­ tance with the pretty elves, without imposing certain conditions. He has placed /his Fairy’ Ring in the exact center of ’a big tent, and in order to reach the abode of the blessed, one has to run a gauntlet of mocked dangers. The. wayfarer -in the .Mystic Maze that leads to the juycnile theater, is dismayed by roars of bnseen monsters, whoso horrid cries issue from Subterranean caverns. Ones.best hat is risked in encounters with n mean old wind that sneaks un­ expectedly around uuoffendiug cor­ ners, and a vicious waterfall proinis- ing a westing, blocks the way to the realm , of ddhght within, Just how many of the terrors arc wlmt they seem to .be, is left for the adventurer, to relate when they get out alive. The .walks and streets dividing the Plaza have all been given appropriate tittles. On Military Miirch, we may admire the gallant soldiers, their touts, couches, saucepans, even their War-like boots, for. a company of the 0 . N. G,' will be camped on the Plaza at the. Fest. Lover's Lane is the Paradise of kindred spirits. Geneva Street, takes us to lunch at Swiss Chalet, Animnlia Aue. conducts to the Animal Show, and Slippery Slide to the Snake Swallower's. The Moulin Rouge, is o f course situated on the Paris Boulevard. -But a ques­ tion that the Directors won’t answer for reasons known only to themselves, is this, to whose show does Crauk St, lead. Perhaps those who visit the Fall Festival will cast a vote {for the right one of the Plaza attractions lo­ cated on this interesting street after they have made a tour of the grounds. GOU flT HOUS E Accepted by the Building Commission. THE STEEL FURNITURE las Not Yet Beep / Purchased.—Board Aljovvs Contractors $11,000 More On The New Building. The court house building -commis­ sion’ held a. meeting,Tuesday, •and after finishing up the business with the contractors, Henpessy Bros. & Evans Co„ of Chicago, tOok-the build­ ing in their charge. The commission has been very anxious to get in charge of the building^in order that the county officials could move in, hut had to wait until tlie art glass window in- the court room was replaced. There was something over $15,000 yet due the contractors and tho board allowed them $11,000 at, their meet- iug. ‘ There is still a balance of $4000 due the contractors. The injuhction against cutting the trees' in front of the court house has not been decided and the cement con­ tractors are. waiting for a decision so thay ean.fimsh laying tbe walk. , / •^ The commission has. thus far only issued $184,000 iu bonds of the $200,r 000 which the legislature gave them authority. Of this amount the build­ ing has-been constructed, also the ce- ment walks laid, and the yard graded, two very expensive items that at first were not included. . The steel furniture for the file cases book racks, etc., lias not been pur­ chased yet, as the commission stands divided. One side favors tl}e pur­ chase of furniture a ta price $800 over another firm while, the opposing side contends there is nafc..thnt mueh dif­ ference in-the furniture. Tho ques. will stand as it’is at present and the county ‘officials will take their old furniture' to the new building. As there is to be a new member in the commission this coming month owing to the expiration of the term of one of the county commissioners, it is to be hoped that the incoming -member will be able to see the right nnd wrong to the question and assist in getting the difficulty adjusted, PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

Men who drink liquor, like others, Will die and if there is no new appetite creat­ edfour counters will he empty as will be our coffers. Our children will go hungry, or we must change our' busi ness to that of some other •more re mimerfttive* ’The open field for the -creation Of appetite is among ’the hoys. After men have grown and their habits arrt formed they rarely ever change ill this regard. I t will be needful* therefore, that *missionary work be done among the boys, and I will make the suggestion,gentlemen, that wieklcs expended in treats to the boys now, will return dollars to your tills after the appetite has been formed.” --All persona having rooms to rent, ■ for either boy! or girls whowill attend ! college this fall, Wpmt same to ,{ 3, t>, Williamson* Harry Tracy, the notorious desper­ ado, who has had the people about Spoknne, Wash, guessing for some time, wftS surrounded, in a swamp and a fierce battle followed, The bandit w a s heavily armed aud held bis'pur suers at bny for several hours. He was wounded twice and before he could be captured alive he had shot himself twice. Tracy had committed thirteen mur­ ders and was one of the most noted desperadoes. No doubt a cast has been taken of his body and before tnahy weeks wagons will bp touring the country with the famobs Harry Tracy for exhibition, as was Jessie James, In this fast growing age of ours there is, perhaps, no problem that should appeal with greater force to: capitalists, artisans, manufacturers and husbandmen than the growing scarcity of limber. For .more than a century tbe merry ring of the wood­ man’s axe as he triumphantly march­ es through the splendid foreststof this country, monarch.of all he surveys, has presaged' the final slaughter of our unlimited forests. And does not the ever broadening acres of the husbandman, as they, wave' with lux­ uriant harvests, no less surely an­ nounce the early departure- of the fringes of timber that now and then skirt tho burdened; fields, reminding one of the few stray locks that adorn the temples of the bald beaded man. True,, coal, gas, oil, iron and other metals have, to a degree, taken the place of timber in building, manu­ facturing and structural work, but it is equally apparent. that the time is fast apprOaching When the demand for wood in certain quarters where nothing can be used’ as a substituo will far exceed the supply, unless our fast vanishing forests can be rejuvenated in time for the requisition thnt is wont to:be made upon them. Unless .this is done tho uttermost- parts of the earth must pay tribute to this country,' or wo shall be fearfully handicapped -in' building the towns aud immense cities that are to be pro­ jected, -tp*?oay-n<>lFjttjg“'Ot*1tfIiUirieritISe Interests and enterprises hitherto un­ dreamed of, will, in the travil of the liiblie spirit emerge Trom the womb of time within tbe next halt century. This busy, boisterous, bustling age is indebted to the past and under ob- lgatirtn. to the future; we have' per­ sistently and mercilessly destroyed the. ibrests of last Century, and we should engage methodically during.tho next ifty years in replacing them. - We could Jeave no better heritage, of a. meteriul character, at least, to, Our successors wlio arc rushing on to crowd us off the platict, tlmu thou­ sands of square miles of young waving ibrests which would contribute 1m- measuFubly to. their wealth of happi­ ness, knowledge, power and material well-being. There, should be method in- our madness; enthusiasm, in our efforts, aud universal acquiescence in an or­ ganized movement to replenish our bresi lands; wo shall not come this way soon again, and we cannot leave a better monument, as a people, than growing timber. That a systematic effort will he made, ultimately to ac­ complish this we believe, but-.there will never be a belter time to inaugu-' rate the work than now. Tho ques­ tion is worthy’of consideration and needs agitation* IT CAN BE STOPPED. The Columbus Dispatch .quotes former representative Joyce, of Cam­ bridge, One of thcNargeat local option towns in the state, o \ the subject as follows: “The drugstores are\doiug big beer business, they sell it on doctor per scripfions and it is drunk- on the premises. ; I know one drug store that has such a big trade in ’beer -in this way that it seems impossible to keep it in stock. ' All doctors in town are giving -prescriptions calling for stimulants. Iu one case I know of, the doctor gave a prescription for 48 bottles of beer and of course, that was good until the patient had Consumed all the, 48 bottles.” Its a ten to one shot that from the tone of the former representative’s interview that he him­ self is decidedly opposed to the local option law.' Such work as. he fstates is going ou can'be stopped if the peo- would organize against it. We have never been iu favor of the1mob law or the act of boy-cotting hut if drug­ stores and physicians-, should attempt such'a game here we would feel like advocating' the latter. Any physician that would, take advantage of the. law' in this manner is in no respect as good as the' saloonist himself, As for ■ the drugstore which deals in liquor as is quoted above/we would ask the pub­ lic to refrain from going to his place of business unless you' were in need of liquor. - There is no need of the pen- the drugstore and liquor interests.

The result of tho eled tiou was conceded by all that the township would go “ dry” aud so it did by n vote of ^2 to 5. The vote was very light owing to many of the farmers being busy at present with their threshing.. The vote wa* a fair result as to the outcome had mote people been out, One by one the townships in this oounty are taking advantage rtf tho Beal law and the question now arises with the Herald, /when is Cednrviile.

There has not been one thing in twenty years that has caused as much talk as has the working put of this tax. The majority of citizens who are cnlled upon comply with the street commissioners request and send but a man for the two days labor. The division between those who pay and hose who fail is very marked for few of the latter have any interest in the corporation whatever. There is no town in the county that has as good streets as has Cedar- ville atid all should see that they so remain. There has ‘ been several Cases where the mayor has brought suit against the parties to collect, the amount due the-corporation under the ordinance. On the other hand there have been numerous complaints in re­ gard to first,one and then, tbe other iiv that they have not paid the full amount, . If such is the case the offi­ cers Bhonld be held responsible"by the council. The amount is small and to any one who is interested in the town they should never allow suit to bs brought against them. There' is lit­ tle chance for a single man in good health getting .around paying, if the Mayor Sees fit, .

The amphitheatre presents , ah Unsightly appearance, aiid more than that the ’ building is decaye ' ‘o' such an extent that it is not safe for such crowds as< were there Thursday. A death trap las been constructed over the en- 1ranbe at the turnstile for the band, and a member of the Son’s of Veter­ ans’ band tells us that when the crowd would, rise to their feet the entire structure could be seen to move. He says that the building is not safe for Such crowds. Thera is no need what- i ;a ever for bqildiugs being in this condi- th ion; and e board should give the lublic a little more protection.
