THEOLDRELIABLE BESTTQM 1C\ Absolutely Pure THEREISNOSUBSTITUTE THE CHILDREN’S DAY, “In the solemn midnight, centuries ago,” was born amid humble surround* ings, in np insignificant Oriental v il­ lage, one ivhose life, death teachings have influenced "the succeeding ages more than the ambition b f a n y , mon­ arch; the victories o f any general, the diplomacy of any statesman' or the wisdom of any philospher of these Centuries. Believers or , unbelievers may think as they? choose’ of- the 8u- ijernatura 1features, recorded of that 'jyent, the fact is .historical and indis putable that the birth, of that child, ..which, occured .about -nineteen;.hun­ dred and three years ago, brought about vast changes in the Ijfe of the world. When the followers ,o f the Nase- ene first began the practice of '.com­ memorating the birth of the founder ' of their religion . is 'Uncertain; The manner of its commemoration, has changed with the ages, races and the totalities, but we still c lfng , close enough to the original idea of, “ the feast of’the nativity” to exemplify" its simplest and tendereSt- lessons of re- memberance and regard o f child d e ­ votion, of charity and benevofeuce for children. ' The Christmas • festival had its origin, in th e -birth of a child. In the course o f time it. has .become, lu this country Tat least, essentially the ehildren’s'day, Krisa ICingle in 'the the laterform o f the children’s saint, good old Santa Claus, carrieshis pack to the hearth of every family where there is a child or bids the -children came to where, he has left ample stores ; for distribution.1 On Friday all over the- Chrtstlald home With this issue it, is Volume 27, Humber 1, for this is the birthday of the IlEiiAU). Twenty-seven years ago, in a ve/y modest way, the people of this comnuiuity were given a news­ paper, a means by which local hap­ penings could be recorded and placed before the public for' pleasure and in­ struction, During all these years this same medium has struggled for exist­ ence, -hut it continued to' grow stronger, until today the H euai A is the oply weekly paper published in Greene county that is listed' as one of j the best one hundred weeklies in’the state,- On the day of the H erald ' s birth it was"a smalt sheet',that was placed in the bands of its "readers, but by- years Of. bard work through a number of different managements it has grown to be a full seven-colurob, four-page paper, A t ,various times the demand for space from the adver- tis«sfr has been so great that it was necessary for an enlargement of the issue, as in -oUr last, when we had twelve pages, a ll’ho.me-print. , Like any other business, years of time are necessary for proof to the public-that the-policy adopted will be carried out. The public has learned that the H erald has most always been ,foutfd< upon the right side of public questions. During the years the H erald has been issued under the, present' .management- there-have been some very pleasant experiences and a , few very unpleasant ones, though not nuy more than would-nat­ urally come to any person pr publica- tion’thn t takes a stand no. matters of vital interest to the public. We have always abhorred .what > is called the “ stay between” pr *‘the man on the fence,” those person* who fear to ex­ press their opinion, or those who never haye one- 'When a question comes up .for consideration a man must be for it or against It: there to no halfoWny m ark .'

A RECEPTION TO PASTOR. A reception was given Rev* O. H . Milligan and wife in the lecture room room of the If.

Dr. Irons of the Xenia Theological Seminary gave the address of wel­ come in behnlf of the presbytery. Dr. Irons’ Was one fitting to tbjs oc- cassion, as he had baptized the pastor he being his pastor In his younger days and was also bis processor dur­ ing bis .college days. Rev.' H . 0 , Middleton welcomed the new pastor in behalf of the resident ministers Mr, Frank Hastings spoke in behali oF the congregation and a t the twin* time prerented the paster with $100 to cover his expense in moving here. Rev, Milligan responded in a few well chosen words. Other ministers who spoke during the evening were Dr. Johnson and D r, Hutchison, Ol Xenia; Rev* Davidson, Clifton; Prof. W, R, McChesnoy Sind W, J .

Id keeping to’the truth OU subjects of interest we have fearlessly stated honest facts rather than betray the reader by a doctored report, ^As much barm can be done the public by a newspaper refraining from taking up the questions as if it favored an illegal measure, No news­ paper has a right, through fefir of losing business or the favor o f some man, firm or party, to swerve from saying what is right, any more that it has a right to shy what is Wrong or false, Then the press must always be in position to inform its reader* whnl is being done among the public officials, particularly so in this .day and age when unscrupulous politicians are making evUry effort to get .the spend­ ing o f public moneys, whether it be village, county or state, The public has long looked to the press for the safety and Security o f its belongings and the Imposition Of a burdensome tax on the home* While many opinions on. questions of importance have appeared in the H ehald ’ s columns, they were given not that you al/ould act likewise* but tha t they' Would furnish yo if with the correct information that the reader could decide for himself.

Judge Scraggy handed down ,a de­ cision in the Charles Ensley case, Monday, He aflirms , Mayor Mc­ Farland’s decision in finding' Ensley guilty of violating,the Heal, law last October! As Ensley to said to have taken his departure, the court will have.to settle with the, bondsman, Thomas Mitchell.. .rence for a “ dry town” took place one day last Week! For the last few weeks the town has been considered a little “ dryer” than ugUtd and the Committee of One Hundred were congratulating themselves" op what bad been accomplished to this end when -they were informed' that a bar­ rel of the goods had arrived in town by freight. The, barrel, waB from a! Columbus firm bnd bSSed, to C. M, Ridgway, a supposed .druggist who has twice been convicted of rnuning a first-chiBs “ gin shop’Mn violatiou of the Beal low. When J}bo bsrrel a r­ rived nt the freight Itouse' it was found to be in a had condition in that the head was ready,-'to^come otit and the contents be nllowetpp be wasted. But by careful handling it was deliv­ ered to the supposed drugstore, and here’s where the futf commenced. The" proprietor, uponi Jearcing the condition of his freight^ made a' mad rush for the telephone and those who know the situiition s a j^ h a tit looked ns if Ridgway. was trying to draw the freight office to him ov$r.tbe line, by the way he operated! tbV crank. He of course having been cSbvieted twice for ' violating /th e ’ liqiidr^laws, grew suspicious and thought that the Com mittee had confiscated hto .good* for inspection. The fact* of the case are th a t while the proprietor of the liquor emporium was suspicious as to the ac­ tions of' the Committee’ they were sus­ picious of him, and are-more so now as they have been informed,as to-the bill of “ Be$t Tonic” lie Jpis ju st placed on sale for his pntrpns," There is no question whatever *as to the' percent­ age of the liquor being-,more than two, percent alcohol, for the original brand gives i t away. .-While there' can be :no prosecution for hav ing ' it in his possession, the- Committee will “ lay low” and wait uutil the'proprietor sells to the wrong party, directly him­ self, or- through some of, h)§ agents commonly called .‘bootleggers.” From nil . that can he learned a t the Mitchell ‘property, has taken to “ tall timber ". leaving the owner of the property to put up for his appearance in the Court of Common Pleas. Last October Emley was arrested a t tbe instigation of-Jhe Committee of One Hundred and was- fined $200 .and costs by Mayor McFarland. In the trial be did.not go on the stand, him* self or even have a witness, His case was appealed to the Common PieaB Court and Thomas Mitchell was bondsman to the amount of $300. .Thanksgiving night the 'officers made a second raid on tbe Ensley place and closed j t up. 8amples were also secured for analysis and for sev­ eral days things looked bad for Ens­ ley and Mitchell, and it was a t ibis' lime that Ensley stated tha t before he would be convicted again he would “ hit the pike,” Several day* ago he and his wife had trouble and later the word has comp that Ensley bad gone out West to visit an uncle but had left there and . was proceeding still farther in the.same direction, The officers have taken no action as to Easley’s whereabouts. I t *eeins to be the general opinion that Ensley be allowed to st It proceed further west and that Mitchell he called upon to pu t up the $300 for continually renting bis property for saloon pur­ poses, Recent troubles are Bald to have kept MitcbeH continually pay* ing bills for his tenants and that the property, has not been a paying im vestment since the Beal law lias bceif in force.
