CHOIR GIVES CONCERT Second Article on.the Choir-Giyes Ac­ count oiDifferent Concerts and Can­ tatas, and the ' Entertainments _ ProvedVere Profitable, Jfrom 1875 when Robert Jackson removed to Xenia, the choir was led for about two years by Eben Archer, and following him fo r nearly :the same period by Mr. George Jackson, .who had been the organizer about 30 years previous. He resigned the office ■oa account of years and fuiling health and George B. Graham was chosen as his successor until the beginning of 1S80 or about two years, when Mrs. Lucy Barber was chqseu leader, and shejias led continuously to the pres- eat time. Mrs. Barber previous, to her appointment had been the leading soprano voice for some time. Among the concerts given under the direction of the. U. P , Choir we have already noticed the “ Flora's Festival’1concert giveb in 1853, and also the Cantata' of “ Daniel-’ given on Dec; 28, 1860, The.next one of any note was given .about 14 or 15 years later. ; ' During the winter of 18745, a Vomen’s Aid Society was"organized in*the congregation, and a committee of that Society appealed to the choir to give a concert, the proceeds of which were to he sent to aid the grass­ hopper sufferers of.Kansas. .A t that ■time Rev. H , P , Jackson was the Buperintcndont of the Gedarville suhouls.autl he was asked to organize a (Jhoral society and direct the concert, his brother ’Robert declining to take the responsibility, . Having made out a list of tho best siegers of the community, ho called a meeting, one evening, of those select­ ed and the organization wait effected in the High School room, Miss Flora Frazier, (now Mrs. D r. "J. A. Utter of Grawfordsville, Ind .) was or­ ganist, Robert Jackson and Jeptha Dunlap accompanied with violins; Kev, Joseph Kyle, tenor; Rev. Sam­ uel Kyle, bass; Miss Lucy Tarbox, (Barber) soprano and Dora Jackson, (Kerr) alto, were leaders on the parts. There were about 40 per­ formers, and i t was ft strong chorus. Tim concert was given in the TJ,' P . (hurch and was well patronized and about $70 was turned over ihio the treasury of the Aid society.

CIRCUSDAYJN CEDARVILLE. Col. Geo. W. Hall’s circus has come and gone. For ten days the small boy has had his attention drawn to­ wards tho coming amusement and fathers and mothers gave a. sigh of relief after the show’s departure. A t about six o’clock. Wednesday morn­ ing the show arrived on ten. cars drawn, by-a special engine, from West Manchester. Preble county, where the company exhibited the day previous. Tho crowd began to ga the r'early in the morning to see the animals, wagons, etc. unloaded from the cars, . The show was given in the Ervin ball park and the entire plot was covered with tents, lor the main sideshows, stables for horses, and for the .cooking and dining departments. Throughout the forenoon large crowds congregated to see the erection of the terilB and get a glance at the wild ani mals. The balloon ascension did not take place a t noon, bu t came off at 6:30. O’clock in the evening. • A t about noon the wonderful parade took place with the numerous wagon's con­ taining the wild animals, the camels elephant and pobies n lino. The first show o f the afternoon was the aide show. Upon entering this the spectator was first introduced to to*the wonderful “ shell gatno,” and this proved quite popular with our people. 'A fter this came the snake charmer and the glass eater and then you had the privilege of viewing the ducks, geese and ft few other aquatic fowls uncommon to us. About this time the crowd was dismissed ready for the great show in the main tent, Fo r this show there were two wagons that sold tiokets a t auy old price. The seller was a good judge of human nature, as we find by prices of admis­ sion paid. In tbe mauAgcrie were all tbe wild beasts not found in the side show. Also-were the games o f chance, con­ fidence men, rod lemonade stands and everything that goes with a first class circus for a town of tins sisie. As the boys dropped their looso change and also some borrowed money to these men they quietly slipped over to the circus proper, took a seat in a thickly settled section and tried to quiet their nerves as much as possible by giving tbe best attention to the work of tbe Strong m e n , educated ponies, goafs dogs, etc. They tried their best to squeeze out a laugh and a hearty ha- haf a t the funny sayings and actions o f the clowns but the feeling was there j u s t tho same, despite the ef­ forts o f Col. Hall and his cohipany to make;thing* »* plewanl and entertain- pwftsibitf. ’ The circus lasted about an hour and a h i If and the crowd was given a cordial invention to come out again la the evening- As they passed out those who had bet il o f the "ahell game” )m i stepped to m how it oper­ ated and before they left they were so: positive they-could get two dollars for one that they ju st deposited', a small amount to find out bow much they knew and how smooth the other fel­ low was. Some one , has remarked that our people were so anxious to see the game operated they wouldn’t give the manager time for . supper. The afternoon' crowd is estimated at four hundred while the one at night six hundred people. This is really the first great cir­ cus the town ever had tho privilege of witnessing and if results can be taken as a guide we no ,doubt wjl| have another some time again. Col. Hall and his people-"seemed very well pleased with the town and community and spoke ns though he was satisfied with the treatment they received^ Oe- darville people nlways were noted for their liberal generosity toward strang­ ers. Their motto has' been “ Two for one. FIRM DISSOLVES. As .will be noticed elsewhere in these columns, the firm of McCorkeli. & Gillaugh has separated’ by mutual consceut, Mr. McCorkeli taking the store.

The couple came into the town Sunday morning and registered as man and wife from Frankfort, O Andrew Gordon formerly of this placo while gathering grass in the cemetery made the discovery and within a few minutes after the an­ nouncement had been made people were flocking in crowds to. the place where the bodies lay. I t seems evi­ dent that Brown shot his wife while she was asleep, as"there was a bullet hole iu here right' temple, the..bullet having passed through her head. D u r e was no appearance, that there had been a struggleAml when found she was holding a lmnkerchief in tho right hand while her left waB lying by her. Bide. Brown was lying on his back with his right hand across his •body, while on his leftside and between him and bis wife lay the dqntli instrument, a 22 ' caleber. double-action revolver., An examination of th e 'g u n showed that there had been three shots, fired That thp net had been premeditat­ ed aiid carefully planned there seems to be ho question by the fact that a letter was found in the coat pocket addressed to the Mayor, Jamestown, O. The bodies had been lying in ibis position for a t least twenty-four hours. In the man’s pockets were found many letters, a gnjd watch, $7 or $8 in monOy and his wife’s pocket-book with a certificate of deposit for $13 on a Frankfort hank, Word has been received from Frankfort that Brown was a sales­ man in a dry goods store i n ‘that place, and that he lost his mind sev­ eral mouths 8go from oyer work and had been in Golnmhus to get treated. Mrs. Brown left Frankfort Sunday morning and met her husband at Washington, C. IL . and the two then catne to Jamestown. NEWSCHOOL EXAMINER, Prof. Geo. P.'

Ip its coming many of cur citizens were introduced to this, the oldest game known, it having orjgnated back in Adam’s time and was one of the ones saved by-Noah during the flood.' I t is an undisputed ■ question about, the sim­ plicity’of the' game, it is remarkable aS to how it is operated. Tq an out­ sider one wonders bow such -a game can be operated with a profit to the owner. You fimt see the little ball pu t un­ der. the shell put your money up two to one thut. it is there and all you have to do is to go down again for an­ other amount and the game is yonr’s. I t is easy, in fact the easiest game known. One- man said “ I know. I could havo beaten it if I had had only five dollars mfire.’i I t is no trouble to beat another man al his own game; is the way many of our Citizens expfessed them­ selves Wednesday afternoon and night by.1placing their money op a game, that has been hauded down from generation to generation. Tho pro­ prietors of this game had a half dozen young fellows around town hired as “cappers” for the game, that is they played the owners money and always were placed “ next” as to the time ,of placing the money. Of course' these fellows were taking in money a t a large rate o f interest, but it was- only bait for the little innocent “ sucker” that was soon to nibble a t t h e 1hook. I t seems that the. afternoon was the most profitable, as the attention of the ever reliable conservative farmer was much in demand. Not only did out farmer friends contribute liberaly to the man with the placid countenance and oily tongue, hut our town citizens yie’ded also. - • . 1 - In some respects tho day was a very notable one and to many the name of Col. Geo. W, Hall and his havo paid* top much, have a glass of lemonade, that will .even up,” The young man’s eyes sparkled as he drank tb<M\efreshing beverage, and all this, time his necktie was being straight­ ened, dust being brushed from his coat, a flower placed ou his coat lap- pel, and thea^to further please him a young lady a t the counter was rnalt- “goo-goo-eyes’ a t him. ■H e was next handed a stick of candy wrapped in a song book: “ A quarter, please,” said the gentleman. The'young man hesitated, but he was reminded that there was a policeman (show) back of him ,aud there had better not be any trouble. A smile from the lady and a ha! ha! from the man made the on-lookers, believe they had worked their victim, . . . Some one has suggested that we pub lish the nariies, with the amounts op­ posite, of those ‘who losf in the shell game. We do not care for this for we,read daily how wealthy men be­ come vqxed at people continually calling for money for charitable pur­ poses. I t would be so embarrassing yon- know to have these men besieged continually- by .people .begging for charity. Those who contributed Wed­ nesday ’have been entered on the roll containing the names of the public spirited and philanthropists. • READY, FOR SCHOOL . 'A r e You Particular about your Cigars?.

Mr. Samuel-Raney could not see the idea of accepting five dollars and ten cents in silver for a five dollar note. The gentlemanly gentleman could not make Mr. Raney believe, he had paid ten cents too much for his ticket. •’ . A few o f the amounts lost on the “ shell game” ran like this, $65, $45, $20, $10, $5, $1, and of the last three amounts the owners of the game would find it impossible to estimate the number* Bays one man, “ I lost $13 hu t if I had had two m o re l would have won easy," H e looked then like ho was ready to fall into a state of unconsciousness, The show went on to London aud the hoys here are wondering if the harvest was great a t that place. One young man who resides south o f town remarked, “ Isn’t it ft- shame the way thoSe. men are robbing peo­ ple in that simple' game”.- In a few moments he was Seen going towards the table with a confidence man. I t only cost the young man four dollars for his three minutes introduction. Yes it was very simple. When do you suppose the paiiy who lost nineteen dollars and had to stand the liveryman off for his horse feed, would do his sleeping? I t cer­ tainly could not have been Wednesday night, , » In conversation with those who were connected with the game we find r anpointment is meeting with 8p ^ M the lowest estimate for thb days • work of the “ game” is placed at $500.

THE HESSIAN FLY, As a certain young man passed in by the doorkeeper he'was met by a slick looking individual who asked himwhat he paid for hie ticket, he m* plied, “Fofty oeafe,” “ Why you So littlo complaint of the Hessian fly has been heard a t the Ohio Exper­ iment Station this seaspn that there is ground for tho hope that tbero will be no more trouble from it for a few years to come, bu t it will.be wiser for farmers to be bn. their guard lest it may reappear suddenly as it did in 1899. . <■ I t is possible-, for every farmer to determine for himself whether the fly is likely to appear in destructive num­ bers in his wheat each season* To accomplish this, le t a small”, rip of wheat be sown along one side Of tho intended wheat field about two weeks before the time when the main crop is usually sown in that particular lo­ cality. As soon as tho wheat comes above the ground examine the young shoots carefully every day with a magnifying glass. A cheap lens, magnifying about three diameters, which can he bought of any optician or department store for a dollar or less, is sufficient. I f the fly is present its minute, reddish eggs, one*fiftieth of on inch i'oug, will be found in tbe creases of the young wheat blades. Once seen under a glass these eggs can easily be seen by the unaided eye as red specks. Often two or more are found;togelher, lying end to end. Usually egg laying occupies about a, week, an d -if the fly#, On her »p pea ranee, finds -a little wheat ready for her, she will soon deposit all her her eggs, afterwhieh the main crop may safely be sown in the assurance that by the time it appears above ground tlm eggs will all have been laid on the earlier sown wheat. Many farmers suppose that the so called “ flaX-seeds,’’ which ara found L l _L_ JLtS £- o f the wheat stalk, are the eggs of the fly, bu t this is a mistake; these “ ffax-soedif’ are the full grown la rv* o f the flv, which undergo their trams* formation itfto thwwte^sd invert with* “ Hello, my dear!” he exclaimed, greeting the prettiest girl on the ver­ anda, “ I ’ve just come .in on the' train and I’m delighted to meet you -again.” . ” x ' * . “ I —I’m afraid—” she stammered. • “ Why, don’t, you. remember me?” " he. asked, in surprise. “ I met you here,last season. You fell in Jove with me and- we were. engaged for, two weeks.” “Your face does seem familiar,” she said, as they seated themselves in .' a secluded ‘nook, “ but I can’t , ju st place you.” „ “I came up here in/ tlya hope o f meeting you again and renewing our old ties,” he pleaded, ,/• ' “ I can’t give you any hope,” she returned; “ you' see, my love-making last season was rather - disastrous* was engaged three -times, The first One palmed himself off as a count. 'He raised false hopes in my heart, bu t I ’ve got over that. The second fooled me On a paste engage­ ment ring. I ’ve forgiven , him that, for he was jolly company. Bu t ’tho third—-oh, be was a heartless wretch! When he was going away, he told me he had lost his rettirn ticket, and I lent him.six dollars and forty cents. I thought he was the soul of honor, but he never paid me hack.
