I t was or­ ganized by George Jackson, at an early stage in the congregation’s life and at a time when church choirs were few in this section; and not al­ together approved, and as a part of ' this church has always done excellent work. (As far as known it was the first choir in this part of the country.) While, it has been impossible to re­ call all those who constituted the choir ns originally organized, yet" we have learned that, the following persona were among the number. Sopranos; Miss Maggie Frazier, Miss Sue 11iff, Miss .Kate Williamson, Miss Mary A. D ella veil , and Miss- Joanna Jackson. Altos; Miss Hannah His bet, 'Miss Sallie Buck and a little late r Miss Zetta Barber. Tenors; Robert Jackson, William and Thomp­ son Crawford and Henry Teas Basses; Parks Jackson, Hugh Rishat and occasionally James Bogle. Other names to be added to these are Smith, and Charles Bnck’aud Hun ter Bull, with possibly others that might be re- railed after further effort. I t reached its highest mark and most complete organization under, the lead­ ership of Robert Jncksoti, who con­ ducted the singing from 1860 until the latter p a rt of 1874. Its success during those years is to be credited to Mr. JaCksoii, who with a faithfulness and self sacrifice that never havo had proper recognition, discharged the duties .of the, office, During that period, meetings were regularly held on Friday evening'of each week, with .the exception of a short time, in the midst of harvest, for- practice, and tiny were faithfully attended. -The members of the choir were governed by an esprit de corps most remarka­ ble. Nothing was allowed to hinder the attendance, and they came to practice through mud and rain, through wind and Btorm, through nights lit with the moonlight’s silvery sheen and through the deep black darkness o f starless nights, and they came tlirough summer’s heat and win* ter's cold, in order that they might lie prepared to lead the praise service skillfully, Tho practice of those days consisted in singing anthems for practice, (Anthems a t that time were not considered appropriate to use in c inunction with the Habbath services,) ftril the selections of Psalms to be c*:d on the coming Babbath. The meetings were held a t the homes of the dilferent members, and tho choir ■attended to business strictly from the tiwe that Mr. Jackson took Up his ".ban, the only instrument used, un* id if was returned to its case. The -after history of the members of the eld c-lmir a ,rves to prove that not wiieh time was devoted to match mak* m UsmigC'? occurring in the congrega- bin and choir called for additions to hie number of singers. During., the --wmiCf of ■ p;G3 or 0 Mr. Jackson, <vtr ready todo far more than Ins PR !'V,v;tr<i improving the praise ser- w many of the members o f the Bab* teit’u hchd-il as could be persuaded to a-Uh-3, in d r ill. them • in singing hiiliiii.

W. Pollock were also added to the choir and continued with it for a .time, as was also Mr, L . Gt. Bull and raauy others. As has been stated the only instru­ ment used in the practice was, the violin. A departure was made how­ ever at one time. One winter while practicing for a concert, an organ was rented, I t seemed almost a for­ bidden thing, and some of the good people were rather suspicious of it, One Sabbath during the period of re­ hearsal the choir ’‘broke down.” There bad not been as much lime as usual given to the practice of the music of the Psalms.' Some of the choir still remember the comment of one good mother in Israel oii that dis­ aster, interpreting it as a reproof to the choir for its employment of'au or­ gan, I t still remains a mixed ques lion whether or not that organ ven­ ture was profitable,'for the treasurer reported after the' concert, when all expenses had been paid, of which the; rent of the organ was the major part,' that.1 the balance in faVor of the choir was ju st ONE CENT. CINCINNATI FALL FESTIVAL. A judicious combination of work and play, is said to b’e a-sure receipt for getting the best out of this life of sorrow. In planning for their Fall Festival, the directors at Cincinnati' have succeeded in uniting the useful and the beautiful, the serious and the frivolous, much after- the same philosophy. All the Bhows and ex­ hibits at the Festival arc worth seeing some of them are o f unique aiid special interest. . The visit of President Roosevelt on Sept, 20 wilL afford visitors a t the Festival an opportunity seldom oc- curing to meet the Chief Magistrate of this great nation. < , In the Exposition proper, beside handsome, exhibits of machinery, fur­ niture, carpets, dry goods, musical instruments, pictures, food prepara­ tions and the thousands and one ob­ jects incidental to the scheme’o f mod­ ern existence, there' will be found new inventions along the older lines. Among these will be found the work­ ing model o f a . complete Laundry Plant, in actual operation. Collars and Gulfs while you wait as it were. A Lasting Plant, illustrating the methods used in the shoe factories is another interesting exhibit, A prom­ inent Milling Company will build a picturesque old mill to contaiu speci­ mens o f their produce. A new method of cutting glass, and one for producing a rt glass by a method pro­ cess may be classed with the novel­ ties. S ' . . .

Should the present conditions exist for several wdeks yet, those having the hard coal furnaces.. and stoves will find it rather difficult to purchase coal at any price. In speaking with a local dealer this week he informs us that it is impossible to buy- the coal. His house placed au order last .May for three cars of anthracite coal and it is not delivered yet, and may not be for several weeks and possibly months. The mine owners refuse to pries coal a t the present time. The. only coal that is on the market now is what was carried over from last whiter and this is selling a t an exorbtinnt price. Anthracite coal in Springfield is-eight, dollars, in Indianapolis nine, aud ’ in Chicago ton,. ’ As for the bituminous coal there is not much danger but that there will be-a sufficient quantity to supply- the market, providing tlie railroad com­ panies can make immediate delivery. To be sure of your winter’s fuel it would be well.to p u t in a supply at present. OPENING OF SCHOOL A meeting of the school board was held last Friday night and it. was de­ ckled to open school Monday, Sep­ tem b e r'8 The room under tho I. O. O, F , hall which will be used this winter for tho primary classes is nearly completed. The board ex­ pects to get possession of the plot of ground adjoining for a play grouml for the little foiks. The room has been changed to some extent and pre­ sents a very neat appearance. The coal contract has been.let for the year to tho D. S, Ervin Co. at 83.30 per. ton .delivered. Owing to the lowness of water in creek the paper mill has started the pump a t the deep well in order to keep up the supply. • ■; made th e following proposition; wT te company to have the right to sink a %«ll tw»d across the laud to the toad free of al} cost. Whether coal, gas or oil be found his company will havQ no claim whatever. He further states that he will subscribe twice as much stock in __________ ^ the company ,as any one person.” His proposition •is certainly a ■most ORGANIZE A COMPANY liberal one and is worthy of consider- 1ation by our. people. Mr. Hagar is ‘interested in the manufacture of pa­ per here and is well acquainted with ASPECT Changes in Gas Situation During Pa^TWeek. * COLORED VOTERS CONVENTION. So That The Field Can be Developed. Benefits to Town Will.be Great Mr.; Hagar’s Proposition, ‘the wants of most any manufacturing ' concern. I t is stated that a .well could be drilled, pumped and shot for /iSlfiOO and it appears to us tliat this amount could easily be subscribed by our peo­ ple, I t has been suggested that the price of shares be about ten dollars and allow any one who cares to, to subscribe. In speaking with various business men and citizens we liave found several who are willing to in­ vest from fifty to one hundred dollars each in the company,. With these prospects" we see ’no reason >vhy a company cannot easily be organized to sink a well in ■the vicinity where this gas is supposed to cqine from, Mr.-Hagar^has just enough faith in ,the finding of g ,s to be willing to sub­ scribe twice as much stock as any one person. With his proposition it does not appear to tia that the matter should be allowed to drop. Where is the Boat'd of Trade? From all that has'been heard of this organization of late a company may have to organ­ ized to dLcover it. TIMELY,WARNING. Tho finding of gas in the bottom hinds of the Hngnr Straw Board .& Paper Co, last week was looked upon as a mere joke and natch humorous talk was heard after the announce­ ment had been made. But a t the present time people', .are looking-at this matter In a more serious mepner Many were of the. opinion that the gas was caused, from vegetable de­ composition but this idea has beou given up. I t is stated that sewer gas has a very strong odor. A citizen of the gas region in Indi­ ana visited tho spot and repot ts that the blaze resembles the natural gas, blaze in every respect. He says there is what they call pure gas found in their section, that ts there is ■no odor, then there is a uatui.1 gits that has a strong.odor andean be smelt for' some distance. The gas found on the West side of town has no odor what­ ever. Wednesday evening the Eower tile was drained Of water and it is said that the blaze burnt the .entire night. /The., gas comes out' nfuch stronger when there is no water in the sewer tile which was plitced to control Uic escaping gas. While there was considerable^, talk in regard to this discovery after it was announced in the-Herald last week, we fiud there is a desire on the ■ part of some to form a stock com- jo u n c e d by program, ■pany to dcvelope the field. There are many of the stockholders of':the company in this vicinity yet, and it is from them'that wc have heard this expression. Wo have a large num­ ber of public spirited citizens that havo enough interest in the town.to invest money for this purpose. As to the benefit it would be to the town should gas be found we need not speak further than to say that there would be any number of manufacturing in­ dustries that would locate hero in n moments time. There arc many things that would be attractive to capitalists to invest money hero.. We are centrally locat ed on one of the greatest railroad '*ys~. tems in this country, have a low rate of taxation, no', trouble with labor unions, and the insurance rate is as low as Can be found anywhere. In speaking with Mr. B, W. Hagrir about the sinking of a well he has T he ' colored voters convention which was called for Tuesday a t the A. M- E. church was fairly well at­ tended'. About”- twenty-five of the prominent colored citizens of Xenia and Wiiberfor.ee were in attendance. The purpose of the convention was to discuss the condition of the colored voters and tax payers q f the county; to suggest the proper means for bet­ tering same and to find ways and means to have colored voters properly represented in county offices. Some lively discussions took place during the meeting •and different ideas ex­ pressed as to what was the best plait to persue. A temporary organization was ellected with Henry Y. Arnett as chairman and William Rogers secre­ tary. Prof. F , A.- Alexander Was elected treasurer. There was quite a number .of vice presidents selected as well as other officers. We- Have Said a good deal lately (in our ads.) about everything but EXTRASESSION; A called meeting of council was' held Tuesday evening hut only three members were present. The object, of the meeting was to arrange for hard coal for the heater in the fire engine room, -No hard cbal coulcl' be pur­ chased of the local dealers and Mr. Smith was sent to Springfield to buy two loadB at eight dollars a ton. The clerk was instructed to write the sup­ erintendent of -the Little Miami railr road in regard to gates or watchman at the two crossings. All persons who fesl that they can­ not act orderly and behave respect­ fully-in time of religious worship at the basket meeting Sunday, are ad­ vised to stay away as peace must pre­ vail.
