GEUARVILLE. OHIO, FRIDAY, JULY & 1905 . P O U T TROUBLE Council and Railroad Com* pany Agree on Watchman ATMILLERGROS ING fotblic WmH Watchman Should Have fleenPlacedonMainStreet. Super* ■iptendent McCrea Present at ’ Friday Night'* Meeting Tlm Herald had n o t.been in the hiinds of its reader? long last •Friday before the council and Superintendent G, A, MeOreft were holding a confer- ance ip regard to the watchman and Signals at the Main and Miller street crossings, I t was in pur last issue that we uiged that these .two parties get together and agree on' some ' pro." lection, for the public a t these danger­ ous crossings and they .have finally cbme to some Conclusions though they do not seem td be altogether satisfact- ory to tlie public, , Superintendent McCrea noted very reasonable' with'„Iris,,propositions' to council and inTact was ’ready to con* tued almost anything rather than have an ordinance passed restricting the speed of their trains. He1stated that Cedarviile was the worst situated point*on the division and was known as “Cedarviile Hollow**among the railroad men. The town is just .be­ tween twogrades Which wakes ib nec­ essary for trains to' go through the corporation -at -full speed to make their scheduled time," The question which concerned coun- Vd most.wa*at which crossing-should the watchman be placed and it seems from the talk We hear their decision to place the watchman at., the Miller street crossing is ootmeetihg with ap­ proval as many think that fhb, watch- manshoiild he placed on Main street and nave, -him operate the Miller street rfgn&jr from this point., ISU] intendont McCrea stated that should council want this,order changed after it was tried they would he glad to do ho at their own expense. Council Will not meet again till tbe‘13 of July and Superintendent McCrea’ stated that he would place the watchman on duty July 1 if council would fir the ordinance ready to be passed at their next meeting, This they agreed to do. The watchman will he on duty fromseven o’clock in the morning un­ til all sections of number twenty are Up in the evening, which will be about eight o’lock, The electric bells will be left as they are and will not be used while the watchman is on duty, Therewas no trouble whatever be­ tween council and Superintendent McCrea coming to a decision,, as many supposed that the railroad com* pany would want the ''earth,* I t wasnot necessary for council to Con* ceed everything td the railroad com­ pany yet with such corporations1as the Pennsylvania system towns and even cities are forced to give in on a good many things in order that their citizens way have the best of accomo­ dations. I t is well to know that the whole matter has been adjusted with­ out any disagreement between the corporation and railroad company.

Since it has pleased the Father to gather into his loving arinVmie whom We all loved and trus.te4, one whose life was full of years wml spent; one who:waited only for the ‘words, “Well done, enter into the joya of the Dord,” it is.hut fitting that w6, as A society, exteud to our friend and sister, Mrs. h^ortou and her dear ernes, oOr love and sympathy, - . We will miss Iris kindly greeting, his words of hope and cheer, but we will ever remember, that he was the true friend, the loving father, the kind adviser, the ’much hived pastor, the true Christian citizen, whose life was a holy benedietloh/ t h e ;world better for his paving lived in It.

Such a gain as' this shows that the town is in a prosperous condition. AMERICA’S HOLIDAY MURDEREDANDROBBED, Greene County Will Have no Special Celebration of the Eventful Fourth, Tomorrow, Saturday, is the glori­ ous Fourth and the small hoy will put in a restless night, thinking of the joys of tomorrow.. I t is the great na­ tional holiday and each citizen is ex- p.’cted to show his patriotism in some form or other. The only trouble is that the opinions, of people differ so materially as to what is a true patri­ otic form of celebration," 1The small boys are the only class who have" a distinct and to them most satisfactory way ofkeeping the day, find that is by the .use of the fireworks that they can buy by scraping up every penny. Other classes, will celebrate the day visiting a, distant friend, picnicjug or taking the sights.,of some of the neighboring cities. „There is no spec­ ial celebration scheduled for tomorrow in auy town in Greene county and it appears that the.people of old Greene are somewhat'forgetting the import­ ance of the day- -In such cities like. Dayton attd Cincinnati of course.'one can always find plenty of amusement, The people from the rural 'districts will crowd to the city on this-great day while the city folks will take rec­ reation-in the country, or along some pleisant Stream. , I t is expected ,that the ,day will he celebrated with all the noise and jollification possible yet there will belittle-need for children and even* older persons to carry the celebration to" such an extent that they will be the victim of injuries from the cannon-cracker, A'general .good time is.the nature - of the day, and to, those who are in the habit*of “re. freshing" themselves it is not neces­ sary to get drunk or have' a fight in order to lie patriotic and those who do so will not enjoy, the day as touch fis their more careful friends. PRICE $ 1,00 A YEAt, cumipplis From Official Circles in the County Capital, Mr.*J, S, Brown received, word from Mansfield, this week that a cousin of his, Dr. D. R. Francis, had been murdered one night last week while in his office, There is no known motive for the crime unless with the intent of robbery. His poc- _ ket-lmok was missing when his, body NfcW SUITS FILED was found, I t is known that he had about sixty dollars the night of the murder. The death blow was from some blunt instrument. The murder­ ed roan leaves a wife and family. TOWN PUMP AFFECTED. Since there is no soft drink saloon; open in town a t the present many, of the frequenters pu t in a bad week. The effect of the hot weather on some was very noticeable' and there was scarcely a drunk ,man to be found. It is not probable that there is any “hoot legging" going on either, con­ sequently the town is “dryer" today than it has been for, many a ' day, Outside ofa, few barrels of “sugar,” “ groceries" and the like that come to a drug- store where only a few .of the customers who are trustys quench their thirst, there-has been many an appetite satisfied at the town pump.
