(Continued from last week) Cedarville township I irb furnish­ ed men and women of excellent type of character—good preachers, food lawyers, good doctors, profes­ sors, teachers, missionaries, bank­ ers, merchants, mechanics, farmers, office-holders, etc., etc. Jf we could follow all those, whose homes were pnee in Cedarville township, to other places to winch they have re­ moved from time to time, we would And some of them filling, important positions in church and state. They climbed to the bighesland bestpla ce». Whitelaw Held is Ambassador to England—the top round of the Diplomatic ladder..^ James H. Kyle was a "United States Senator—a/dis­ tinction near the summit of fame.- Gen. Bobert Jackson, Abram Beid and Andrew Jackson were members of Ohio Legislature- Those who have held county offices were: Sam­ uel Kyle, Judge, SO years? John Orr, Clerk of Court, 15 years? W- F. Orr, County Attorney; A. S. Frazier, Auditor, 18years; John H. Kistoet, Treasurer, 4 years? Frank Tarbox, Sheriff, 4 years? Charles H- Kyle, Judge, two terms. Then John P. Patterson and John PC. HbMillan . each in turn was principal ot the High School in Xenia. Patterson likewise afterwards Was superin­ tendent of public schools in other important towns o f Ohm, and J. H. McMillan has been Professor of Latin in Monmouth College, Illinois, for 25 yeart. James Cline Is now superintendent' of the Soldiers’ National Home at Sandusky, Ohio. David Turnbull has been sheriff" of Warren c>unty, Illinois, for several terms. Gedrga Shull has been treasurer of Gibson county, (Prlnoe- •ton) Indiana, And ip many of the great cities of our country, eaotand west, we find Cedarvillians. filling professional and business positions " and reflecting honor on the com­ munity whete they received their early training. We may trace the *t o f these noble characters to Wntiaue to bvaby , Then we must not forget that €e- darville ha* a poet in whose heart the genuine poetic fire burns, and whose songs are enjoyed by every- rody, and in whom the people of CedarviUe and vicinity begin to feci *,local pride. He sbems to reel off •his beautiful ballads with an ease that reveals poetic genius. Two volumes of his poems are already In print—“ The Trail to Boyland” ami He is rising so fast in his profes­ sion that he may be classed, with. Wiiitcomb. Biley* Will Carleton, and Eugene Field. His ballads are how being recited as encores On the Chautauqua platforms of the coun­ try and are enjoyed by the vast crowd* assembled there, In addi­ tion to poetry, he has entered the field of literature and contributes articles to magazines o f the land. We beg Dick’ spardon for quoting a few specimen songs from his hook of poems—“ The Trail to Boyland.” <4jjg|pix lioAo to Y esterday . ” There is a road to yesterday, And each one knows its start— The portal of this wondrous way Is held within the heart? From there thepleasant courses lead As far as one cad see— It- rests on many a golden deed, And many a memory. “ THE Oi.» Wxmt..r’ “ Wslbwaternowadaya—Bwtpshawl .

E.Bajidall, F. M. Reynolds, In looking over these names, we find that Orr, Jackson, Foster, McMillan, and Randall wore Oodar- ville men. Tho man who prepared the way for the public schools was James Turnbull, eon of John Turnbull, and elder brother of Samuel and Alex TurnbuH now living in Cedar, vdle township. He was a superior teacher and started in 1850 a sub­ scription school at CedarviUe ant bujlt a frame school-house in a sugar tree grove on the ground nov occupied by the present bncksohoo building and called it the “ Grov, School,*J The reputation ot this school spread very rapidly, till two hundred scholars in two years were enrolled, coming from six states. He bough* and hung the bell that now swings in the helfrey on the brick building, and which has for fltty-nine years been send­ ing forth its melodious tones cal­ ling the children to ■school. But alas! James Turnbull died, and was widely lamented.. In a few years the property was bought by the District, and {the Union Public School, began with John Orr Jr., as superintendent.

By this same token the Lebar waltz, which’ is the chief feature of the second Ret and has a swinging waltz running through the entire performance, readies to the souls bf men and wo­ men of all races, stirs them with the magic there is in it? fairly cap­ tivating the senses of everyone. It Is true that critics, reviewers, professionals and discriminating laymen have all joined in sounding the praises of the “ Merry Widow” with a unanimity of emphasis that isseldom obtained In comment on any public performance. The ef­ fect of the waltz alone, with Its ac­ companying intense love atmos­ phere, is hardly duplicated in any theatrical performance of the pres­ ent day in any part of the world. The giad news has reached us that we are soon to have the pleasure., of seeing this marvelous production of “ The Merry Widow” , The scenery and light effects or “ The Merry Widow” are the best last word in stagecraft in an American operatic production. Tile costumes were ail made m Paris, as well as the won- derfnl hatswhich aro nowas famous in the millinery world as the Lobar score is in the musical world The company’ offering “ The Merry Widow” is the leading one appear ing in this entrancing opera. The Fairbanks Theatre will offer on Tuesday, March 2d, the best living interpreter of the play ,,Faust” , John Griffith. Since the death of Louis Morrison, who made this play known to every household in America,, Mr. Griffith has been acknowledged to ho his successor There is no gainsaying the facf thftt Mr.GtifiDh adequately depicts the role of Mepieto* All the subtilities, the impersonation is one of tht moBt impressive on .the stage. The same scenic production as was used by Mr. Morrison is used by Mr. Griffith and the standard peico is one which should receive extensive patronage. » FOR SALE, «hy» d !i#t# city of Sprlttgftotd wfii about brsafek even. > THE COURTS.
