THIRTY-SECOND YEAH NO, S. ■EBICE 11.00 A YEAR.- CEM1LLE PEOPLE BE in- H a . E dito *:- Your readers, im doubt, ore fcerestea 5n bistory, especially the history of th e ir home village and i thepeople who havs helped make Cedarvills what it la. I f this is true, i t occurred to me -that the mention ot names of Cedar- villiaus from its first settlement early it, J800 and on down to^the present year—-a little more than one hundred years—mighthe profitable. Time and space forbid th a t I should write a biography of each individu­ a l named. That would form ma­ te ria l enough to fill a s«t of large volumes, which, if well bound, would cost from $25 to $50, and would grace a large space, in your Cedarville Library* The old people now living will re­ call the faceB of th e individuals named, and a pleasant panorama will pass before the ir mindB as their eyes fall on the. names mentioned in thiB sketch. I t was a conglomer­ ation of people who settled in Ce­ darville Township, comi'ng aa they did from nearly all the states east and south 'of Ohio. They married and" inter-married, and so in one hundred years, have made the sub­ stantial, intelligent, and religions community, which is found in that township. Many other names might he mentioned, who have contributed to the good work in building up a civilization in th a t township, which we flhd is scarcely excelled any­ where, as we travel oyer this beau­ tiful land. And. we . sometimes th ink th a t those who now live there in the township, and are reaping th e benefits of the toils ami hard­ ships of theforefathersand mothers to make Cedarville and the region all around about what i t is, do not appreciate, as they should, the blessings they enjoy. Wow, Mr, Editor, if any one will take the trouble to trace the gen­ ealogy of those I mention In this sketch, he will travel back through Kentucky to P e n n s y l v a n i a o r through Tenneessee to South Caro­ lina, and across the A tlantic ocean X&osopf; back .« old ‘ Virginia wbeertf S&t-JWBWfjpW land procured large trac ts of land and settled thole. Take the name of Judge Samdel Kyle for instance, (the original name Kol.J Ho came to Cedarville in the yea r 1805 and bought 1800 acres adjoining the village (there was no village there then), and he lived and died on the farm where Silas Murdock now lives. He came, a young man, from Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and bought lahd near Lexington, Kentucky, and lived on it. He ilrst.married Ruth Mitchell, daugh­ te r of James Mitchell, living then in Kentucky, and who afterwards moved to Clarks Run, near the old Massies* Creek Seceder Church, James Mitchell , was the grand­ fa the r of Espy and Samuel Kyle Mitchell who lived and died in Cedarville. Judge Kyle married the second time, Rachel Jackson, . sister of David and General Robert Jackson. And so you see, this line of genealogy leads ue to the great Kyle family—the largest and long­ est th a t ever lived in Cedarville township, and introduces us to the Mitchells, Jacksons, Lawheads, Emails, Turnbulls, Raineys, and— well, there seems no end to It! Judge Kyle was the father of twenty-one children; he was a rul­ ing elder In the Church for thirty or forty years) hewas associate Judge of Greene County Court for thirty years; he was county surveyor for many years. H is posterity is nu­ merous and honored. Among them we find many preachers. One son, Joshua, for thirty years has been pastor of the Dutjh Reformed church in Amsterdam, N. Y .; eleven grand­ sons are preachers, occupying prom­ inent places; two are pastors in Boston, Mass.; one in New York C ity; ohe a missionary many years in Brasil, Mouth America; ouo is a t present Professor of Theology in Xenia Meminary of thetT. P, church. Heveral greatgrand-sotis are preach­ ing. Betides, we find one grand­ son was United Htates Senator from Mouth Dakota; another a t the pres- en t time is serving his second term as Jtftlgf of Greene County Court; ano ther is a clerk in the National Library a t Washington D. C. We also find tha t one daughter, Martha, married Rev, T. J . Kennedy D. I>. of the V. X*. church -a fin* preach­ er who was President Of Amity Col­ lege, Iowa, and who in 188$ dropped out of sight, as though the earth had opened and swallowed him up. He has never been heard of since. One grand-daughter, Martha Jane has hem. many years a popular Profess^/ in Htate University, champaign, III.

THEATRENOTES. > Henry Miller will offer “The Great Divide” ot Fairbanks Thea­ tre, Springfield, Ohio, Monday, February 22d. Henry Miller was the producer of “The Servant in the House” and as the s ta r In “The Great Divide” for instance, has be­ come an actual civic force in the country./ H is plays no less than his acting liberate thought. Ultimate­ ly he will he found to have influ­ enced, people by one means o r an­ other as perhaps no other actor of this generations has, Mr. Mfllsr is now in his la st season as Stephen Ghent in “The Great Divide.4*With him , . _ _ _ _ 'k for two seasons, (with but One exception) and the New York Production. This drama pic­ tures the'conflict between the con­ ventions of the E a s t and the rugged vigor of the West. Annie Russell in “The Stronger Set” appears a t the Fairbanks The atre, Springfield, Tuesday, Febru­ ary 28d. I t has been some seasons sinceMiss Russel has made a road tour and the charm ot her comedy has been greatly missed by the theatre patrons. She has a person­ ality th a t renders exquisite any comedy she imparts to the material In her hand. In “The Stronger Set,” the p lay in which she is now appearing, with Robert DrOuet as leading man, has situations afford­ ing Miss Russell exceptional oppor­ tunity for her blithe comedy. The place deals with the triumph of women over men by means of her wits instead of by force. The pro­ duction is one of the most delight­ ful before the public. Robert Edeson, America’s fore­ most actor, will, Under the direction of Heury B. Harris, appear in “The Call of the North,” which is said to be One of the best vehicles Mr. Edeson lias ever had, a t the Fairbanks Theatre, Springfield, on Saturday, February 27th.

The scheme 'is being car* rted out by representatives of some Chicago firm, who offer to sell the best granulated sugar a t $1,75 per mndred pounds, provided the pur­ chaser will tak* $12worth of goods such as baking powder, pepper, etc, and pay $2.60 for a “ certificate of membership.’' The present price Is about $1.2*per sack of WI lbs, or close to $5.76 for 100 lbe. bu t the pries quoted by these smooth indi­ viduals is so far below cost th a t the bait looks tempting, and the men have been doing a land office bust* riess weafe told. One of the leading grocers in this city upon being questioned about the matter, stated that he could sell the same goods for a I sm pries, and then make money because the “ membership fee” and high price; of other goods more than made up the reduced cost of the sugar.
