Church Remodeled at Cost of £1300, . . i After the resignation ot Rev, J . C. Wnrnoek, the congregation . heard supplies regularly. Mr. J., W. Pol­ lock, being the senior member of ses­ sion, wiis chosen moderator pro tem on Sept. 7, 1897. On March 9,1898 the session' made arrangements, for a congregational meeting to he held on March 20 to express a choice for-pas­ tor. At that meeting it was agreed to call the present pastor. The call xvas moderated by-Rev. W, A. Robb on April 5, 1898 and sustained by Presbytery on April 10 and forwarded •to Garnett Presbytery.- I t was pro- sented by tlmt Presbytery at a called meeting at Ottawa,-Kan. on May 10, and was accepted. ■Tfie work was taken up bn the first Sabbath of July Tiud-the installation occurred on Aug, 2,1898, by a commission pf Presby- Aery, Dr, J". F. Hutchinson presided and preached. Dr, J . D.' Irons ad­ dressed the pastor, and Rev. E . . R. Davidson the people. During.this pastorate' up to the present, there have been 73 accessions, 43 by cert? ficate and 30 by profession, with a loss of 31 removals aud 9 deaths, leaving 'a net gain of 33. There have , been four adult-and twenty-seven in faut baptisms. - The church was remodeled inside and frescoed iu 1899 at a cost of about §1300 and the pavsouage Was remodeled and improved in 1901 at a cost of about $700. And every year , of the pastorate the congregation has raised the foil quota of contributions for the Boards of the church, having contributed during the four years to Mission funds the. 411in of §4005 or a little Over §1000 a year., On March 10, 1902, occurred the death o f Robert McCampbell, a mem ber of session, and the son of Joseph McCampbell, who bad died more than 14 years previously. The last two inroads of death in the Session, and the longest interval between such visitations occurred in the one family of the congregation, Of the nine pastors who have min istcrcd to this people* four have com pleted their labors on earth, two of them falling iu the harness here, have gone to their eternal reward. One is *retired from active service on account of age, and is patiently waiting , for the coming of the pale horse and his riilcr, hud three are in active work in other pastorates,- Oedarville fur Dished the first pastorate for four and the second pastorate for the other five of her ministers, Her pastors have been young men comparatively speaking. ■ ■ The longest pastorate was that of Rev. J. (j. Warrtock, which wa«t 7 ycar-iand I t months. The second in length was that of Rev. H. F. Wal­ lacewhich was 7 years and 10 months With that, of Rev. \% H. Ilaney was a close-third, which was 7 yefthSarid 4 months, • . The dust of the departed pastors is widely scattered. The remains of the first pastor, Rev. James Buchanan, rest in the Oedarville cemetery. Ho is the only one buried here# and thoonly one who was buried near to theFctnes »f his earthly labors. Of the others, the remains of Rev. *L iftrvey Buchanan are in the cem&< toy at Oxford, O,; those of Rev. «L A. Mfl'nll are itt the old Unity C'fiurehyard in Bduioiit county, Ohio, , Md these of Rev,. W..1I, Haney are m the cemeteryhi, Hew WUmiifgton, Pa., where they awrit the trumpet summons of the resurrection morn. During their ministry hero they had their.succeeses and their- defeats, their "encouragements and discourage-: merits. Conditions were not always so •bright as to make them ‘forget their membership Tn the church mili­ tant,, nor were they eo dark as to eclipse the hope of the church tri­ umphant. Still they labored on,.oft- times with little visible evidence of success, and sometimes with^misgiv- irigs concerning their own usefulness, but hearts were cheered by their min­ istry, souls were quickened, wayward feet were turned into the ways of righteousness, -and sinners were bom into the kingdom through the bless­ ing of the Holy Spirit. ' We have written the story of their work as it is measured by human standards, but when the books are opened on the Great Day, it will -be found that their work.and history in­ clude vastly more ir iportant things of eternal good than has been recorded on earth. IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS. There is a class of men about town that’have little intention of payiug their grocery, meat, rent and coal bills, but you will find that whiskey, tobacco and pool is settled for. Un* der the laws of the1 state at present merchants and business men have an opportunity to collect bills for lieeess- nries, . This class of trade is known as the “ floating” class, that move from first one store and then another and keep.on the move until they make the entire rounds. Iu this way most eyery house in towu has had their trade aud more than that the proprie­ tor has experience and the other fel­ low the goods. We find that most, though not all, found at the ordinary labor pro continually -changing their location. They da this to defeat the local merchant, for from the,start they have no iutentiou whatever of •ever paying a dollar of tlieir debts over what they are compelled tod. I t is only a matter of business for merchants to welcome a new customer and treat him so that h e ' will find it pleasant to trade at his place but at the samntime this merchaut should not be too eager to land the man tjbinking he has taken a customer from. his strongest compeditor. In nine out of every ten such cases the winning compeditor is the looser in a financial way for his man after a due course of time has taken his departure for another town leaving debts to the amount several dollars. This class is not always the one which received the' dollar Or dollar and a quarter* per day, but it is sometimes found with person who receive,twice this amount.' Our advice to the merchant is nev­ er court this class of trade for we have the' statement from a man of over thirty years experience that “ It does not pay.’* This same retired businessman informs us-that the local merchant has no erne but himself fo blame if he has been caught by such rascals. , ’ , In many towns we know that mer­ chants of the same lines and mer­ chants of all trades work for mutual protection aud monthly get out a printed list of all who fail to meet their obligations. , These papers are placed itt the hands of each member of the association whereby they may be informed as to the standing of this class of consumers. We know that seVcrnl of our local merchants have been left with heavy accounts and wo think that a wise thing would be for merchants and businessmen fo work as one body and organize against this class. Wo are told in cities that the retail grocers have a “ black" list o f all who have failed to settle their hills. This gives the groceryman an oppor­ tunity to stop the fellow before he gets too large an amount on the wrong side of the ledger. I t certainly would be the proper thing for busi­ ness men here, to take up each work before the winter, Use Golden Rule flour, CEDAKVILLE COLLEGE. The college attendance will he in­ creased next fall by a goodly number of new students. There. will be several new students fi-oitr a distance besides a good local, patronage, Rooms'and boarding are already being- engaged.

In the mayor’s court this week there, have been three eases against parlies ' who have fuiled to work the streets. The first Was against “ Itirt” Cline aud judgment was rendered against him for the amount.. As Mr. Cline has given up his position at the paper mill there is no way to collect the'amount. But should he secure another job be will be called upon to settle. The second case was that of William Timmons but this was post­ poned until the twentieth of this month. On Thursday Aaron Shep­ ard was defendant in a suit for tbe amount of his road tax. M, V , Den­ ny, street commissioner, represented the corporation . and judgment was rendered against Mr, Shepard for 86.30, which he paid, Mr. Shepard bad a chance to settle for.§2 but stood SUlt, J ust why the village council favors the repeal of the ordinance effecting- this work we cannot,tell. At the meeting Monday night an effort was made for such a repeal but it was voted down. The ordinance has been tlm means of saying the taxpayers many dollars as the levy for the street fund does net need to be as higli when the work is performed under tho or­ dinance. Wh! tho members of council are elected to represent the people they'must still bear, iu - mind that the tax paver is the first for con­ sideration1, “ Whether, the ordinance is repealed or not,” said a prominent Xenia "Sawyer Tuesday, “ the council and mayor have rio chance to get around thc jta te law,” We find l»y inquiry tbatTew of thebusiness 'men and property owners favor the-repeal and any-action otherwise,by the offi­ cials would prove unpopular with the people, * R.

HEDGE FOR COMMISSIONER* A call has been issued by Chair­ man Butts of the Central Committee for nominations for cmlnty commis­ sioner to fill the uttexpiml term of Lewis Smith, deceased. . Mr. John Hedge* was appointed under the statutes until the fail elec- tkm and from the sentiment of the public we feel that should Mr. Hedge be nominated by the central committee this body wilt strike the popular chord with the people. Mr, Hedge is a first straight iimii iir every particular #nd well fitted for the position to which he aspires. COMMUNICATION. M r . E ditor : ’—Permit me to ask a few questions, regarding the recent fine placed against a-’Oedarville sa lOonist. Why is it that, the officers always keep after this one man and allow the others liberty? Why is it that a man cannot enter' his place of business for liis own personal benefit When ho is sick? Why .is it that a certain drugstore can keep open from morning until night every day in. the week and sell bis beer just the same? Why do the officers not keep after him? Are the officers of the town so connected with this saloon druggist politically that they dare not arrest him for daily violation of the law? Coiild riot the officers find that tho sugar barrels shipped last Monday contained beer bottles? At the time tbe saloonist was caught there were no less than a dozen men in the rear of this drugstore, helping drain some of the bottles that were shipped the following . day, and -will some one please inform the writer why this man is not watched by the'officers? A: poor saloonist that payS ti license4 for doing business is fined for going in his place of business and tho non licensed saloon.drugstore goes free. Docs it look fair? Will some one please answer?

The fres- coers have finished their work arid taken their departure. The Scaffold­ ing which was used by tbo decorators on the interior 1ms been torn down arid the room presents quite a different aspect, Iltff Brea- ate at work on the cement-walks about the building and expect to complete them this week Tho building committee 1ms not yet taken tho building off of Contractor McLean’s hands but this will be done in a short time. Tuesday evening tbe 'electric lights Were turned on and Mr, LOwry was perfectly satisfied with the test. The church is Very pretty -at night under electro*, light, th e re port now Is that the building will be dedicated Tuesday evening, Beptem ber 9th. A meeting of the Board of Elec­ tions was held last Friday in their room in the basement of the new Court House, Mr, Isaac Stewart was sworn in place of Mr, John. W. Hedge, the out-going member. As a clerk had to be chosen for this board there were two candidates, Lewis Cost, republican, Robert Thompson, democrat. Quite a number of ballots, wore taken and a tie was -the result each time. To decide the election,the respective names were placed in a hat and one draw resulted in Mr. Thomp­ son’s victory. Mr.- 'Stewart drew1 tbe name. Mr. Cost has .held tbe office but one year and immediately turned tbiugs over to his successor. As the secretary of tbe board is a democrat, tbe chief or president must be of republican belief and Mr, R, F. Kerr of this place was chosen for this pffiQC* This is Mr.. Kerr’s second year in the board and he will make a good president with the knowledge al­ ready obtained in this line. Mr. H. M. Barber has held this position, for several years bht gave up his-seat'last Friday. SUGAR FOR SYRUP. Funny isn’t it that a drugstore. has need "of so many- sugar barrels. Mon1 day morning a - certain drugstore shipped possibly a dozen sugar bar­ rels. Some one suggested that he used the sugar for soda syrups. This might he true but one of the barrels was tilted pud in the ja r tho sound of bottles was heard. Then the barrels were-not shipped to a ‘sugar refiiiery either. I f you care to know tlie des­ tination ask the druggist# he certainly would tell. He Las taken great in­ terest in our public affairs of late and we sec no reason why he would with* mid such information from people over which he is the leader, eh? The Battle Ground of- Modern Thought. The Chicago Record HeYnld lias conceived the unique idea of assign­ ing a page of its Sunday edition to the public for the free discussion of important question of important ques­ tions of the day. Under the head “The Battle Ground of Modern Thought” an opportunity is offered to the public for tho same discussion of all problems engaging the attention of the American people. Writers of ability present their views on sub­ jects not generally treated in the daily press, and Record-Herald readers gen­ erally are invited to join tho debate. T ie fairest, most forceful aud origi­ nal contributions are published. The following are a few of the subjects which have been discussed sinco this department was first establishen. “ Is Blacklisting Within the Law?" ' “Trusts and tho Proper Way to Regulate Them.” “Great Peril That Besets Pagan China,” $, “Liquor Trade and Its Evil Cob* sequences.” “Are Free Books Wanted in Pub­ lic Schools?” * “Inhumanity to Animals,” Tho Record-Herald disclaims, any responsibility forthedpgman upheld, tho theories advanced or the panaceas advocated. I t reserves the right only to preserve order, to keep, out person alities arid rancor and to see that good temper and candor characterize the discussions. PETITION STARTED. A petition is in circulation after all. Those who. desire an election- qnder the Beal local .option law. should ar­ range to sign the petition. Therewith be about 150 names required before councilman call on clectlpn. But do not- let it stop at this number; make it 250 if possible. As-the petition is in circulation it is now-up to the peo­ ple to form some kind of an organiza­ tion to help the cause. Other towns have organizations which have proved a great help in this work. The cir­ culation 0/ a petition in the ’corpora­ tion should not stop there. 'Why can­ not an election for corporation and township be held the same day, at the same expense? There is no reason why Oedarville and Oedarville town­ ship cannot have local option under the Beal law. Who will start the petition in the township? NEEDED HIS MEDICINE. — r- i Austin Crawford, the saloonist in the Mitchell building,entered his place of business last Sabbath afternoon, knowing '.that it was a violation of both state law and ordinance. Mar* lial Grindle ivappened along about that time and. callod the saloonist to task', and his appearance in mayor’s court Monday morning cost, him 818,60, Several months ago Craw­ ford was called before the mayor. and the ordinance was read for bis special benefit. The fine was paid immedi­ ately to escape ten’days in the works. The'claim was put up that lie had left some medicine in the saloon Sat­ urday night and he entered for this purpose, B ib le so c ie t y m eeting .

Combiitid extracted honey at • * ’G ray * Co, The session- of council Monday, evening was unusually interesting, there being, quite a number of differ- - ent questions before this body: -The most important was'tbe railroad ques­ tion, which has been hangiug fire for about a month. •- At the last meeting council would uot grant the Springfield &Washing­ ton Traction company a franchise un­ der a suspension of the rules but on Monda^evenirig, after making some amendments, it was, pushed through in a hurry. Every member present voted for it. There is to be but a single track through town# and conn*' cil succeeded in getting five arc lights from the company, Elsewhere will je forind the ordinance which specifies where the lights ■ are to be placed. lie ordinance was accepted by’the secretary of the company,-Mr. O, F . !Dillman. This concludes the list of franchises and-right of ways for tho company and their proofs and surveyor's re­ portsi are in the hands of the Ameri­ can Trust company, Cleveland, who wish to finance the toad. There are three other companies who wish to iuftneo' the road. So from the ap- icarnnce of things at present we are • ,0 have tt rdad. I t is the intention . of the company .to commence work lore rind finish the line to Springfield: This is to he done owing to the ship­ ping facilities afforded over, the Penn­ sylvania railroad, ^ Mr. Andrew Winter was present, representing the fire company, which. body asks that two more cisterris .be repaired. A petition was lifted from the table which asks that a grade be established on Cedar street, as the property hold* Crs‘ are desirous of constructing cc- ‘ ment walks. The Chicago Fire Hose company, which recently secured the contract or 600 feet of- hose, lias not been leard from and the clerk was in­ structed to communicate with the muse and have the hose shipped im* ipediately: An ordinance was introduced to re* ieal the present ordinance effecting he labor on the streets hut there Were not enough votes to suspoud the rules and pass it at one. meeting.. While he repeal of this ordinance might prove popular with a certain class, the members of council will find that property owners and taxpayers w ill» consider it a very unpopular move. Tho taxpayer is tho man to listen to, hois here always while the Other class' is here only for" a few weeks or months. This question caused some discussion itt the meeting, some of tho members favoring tho hiring of an at­ torney to fight the cases. As the costs in sucii. cases are to be iriade off of the defendant if possible, Mayor McFarland informed the council that should he fail to get his costs from said defendant he would collect same from corporation, “For I cannot spend my time hearing theSc Oases and pass­ ing, judgment without being paid ” There will be no attorney hired a t present, Council then adjourned.
