Thin may be true iw to postal funds but when it cornea to money orders Cedarville is still In tho lead A few years ago a now money or­ der system was inaugurated and a comparison between Cedarviile, Jamostown. Yellow Bprmgo and South Charleston will prove inter­ esting. Since that time tho loyal office has issued 20,110 . money or­ ders. Jamestown Is about 1,0011 be­ hind, yellow Springs is short 8,0C0, South Charleston by about 10,000, Tills proves that the local office is doing an enormous business in money orders in comparison with other places of the game sivte. We have an excellent, mail service When Mr, Tarbox took charge of tho office it was only fourth class now B is third and it has steadily advanced. With the addition of several factories it would be second class with free city delivery.

Men, who once lived and spent their boyhood days along the stream never forget its shady nooks and pools, and when they go out into the world they always have -a'fond remojnbvanco of bow they used to stroll along the foot paths and plungo into tho refreshing .water. No, they never forget, and when their hair becomes sprinkled with gray they return .again and stroll along the path where long years age their bare feet trod toward the oldBWimmin’ hole by the mill, Mnssics’ creek originates from two tributaries which unite their waters at the eastern odgo of Cedarville and form the Greek proper. From here till it reaches a point about two miles west of the village the stream leads a tortuous course. Through years it has followed its present bod and has cut) its way through solid limestone and formed a gorge similar to that of the Miami Adam has been constructed across the gorgo from bank to hauls which at this place is thirty feet across and of about the same depth. This dam affords abundance of wator to supply a targe paper Industry and power to run a flottr mill which has run ceaselessly for g life time. The old-fashioned ovtr shot water wheel has been replaced by a turbine, and the old erushiug stones that ground wheat and. corn for our grand­ father/: have boon thrown fisido to utako v/oy for the now inventions. As tho. water rumbles over the dam it falls into the deep gorge and goes rushing ondown its rocky way. Tho limestone walls loom upward oss both aides, ssv.wr, covered and green with the clinging cedars and (dumps of fern. Overhead the wil­ lows, which have escaped tho wood­ man’s ax, bend far out over the yawning precipice and almost shut out the sun light from tlio stream below. A t a point called “Tno Falls” a quarter of a mllo below tho mill dam, great rocks have fallen from the high banks and completely blockade the path of tlio water which bounds over tho obstruction seething and foaming, a sea of angry water, on, on it rushes dash­ ing bright silver to white and send­ ing a dull rumble down tho ravino like the ocean In a rocky cavern, A little way further down is an em liv ing ftpring of cool, sparkling water that gushes from tho Solid rock mid a bed of dripping moss and green water cross. Above the ehffs an arch is formed which bonds out like a sheltering roof over tho natural fountain. Cedars cling to •very nieho and eraviee on the oTwhturglug olfit and the surround­ ing t-cenory is worth an artist’s study. The creek flows merrily at its foot and alter gathering, the sparkling contents enters a quiet pool where it stops to linger and rests from its mad rush down th gorge. Here in the shaded se­ questered spot tho fishes sport-and- play aud on the rocks the water BhakeB and turtles bask in the sum­ mer sun. A drowsy, sleepy feeling surrounds the place and it seems that nature keeps quiet that the water might rest in peace. 0aMi^biUilui.tij« ftygamorea bead down to meet their reflection in the crystal streams.

Below tho cliffs tho stream flows through a level valley With a ridge or bill on each side. A t very little cost, a dam could ho built from vidgo to ridge which would form a lake of most picturesque beauty and be tbo means of making a park or resort of rare beauty.
