P. ■- W h i fn t AW l'ri n, . The people of two g re a t' countries, Americaanci England, were shocked Sabbath a t the news of the death of Whitelaw Reid, American Embass­ ador to the Court of St. James, bav- ing served this honored position for Beven,years through appointment under President Roosevelt's second term. A t his bedside were his wife, and daughter, Mrs. John -Hubert Ward. His son, Ogden Mills Reicl of Hew York had sailed the day .previous for England. Whitelaw Reid was the son ol Robert Charlton Reicl and Marion Whitelaw Reynolds and was.saven- ty-flve a t his death. Contrary to many press reports he was born with in two miles of this place on what is widely known as the Reid estate. Eventhough h is parents were in humble circumstances, Whitelaw was endowed with determination to succeed. He studied in the rural school, in'Xenia, and tinder the di­ rection of Dr. Hiigh McMillan after which he entered Miami University and graduated in 1850 with high honors. He taught in the tsommon schools in South Charleston and lat-. U? 10 ability Wps soon reoogniKed and ha soon was employed on the Cincinnati Gazette. While in Washington as corres­ pondent of the Gazette his work came to the attention of Horace Greeley editor of the H ey York Tri­ bune a-nd ho accepted a position on tbatpaper,-Which after Mr, Greeley’s death was purchased. Sinco that time the Tribune has been udder the direction of Mr, Reid, His writings during the civil war under ,tbe non de plume of “Agate*’ have already £one into history. In 1881 he was married to the daughter of Ogden* Mills', the Cali­ fornia millmnaire-and to then were born one son and a daughter, who survive with the widow* Probably no citizen of the country hVis had as much honor baStowed u^on him as has had Mr, Reid. In 1839 he was appointed as minister to France and returned to this country in 1892 to run for vice president on the Republican’ticket, in 1897 he •appointed to represent this country a t the queen’s jubilee in London, 111 1893 he was named as a member of the trea ty ,o f peace commission regarding Spain*. In ^002 special embassador to represent the Presi­ dent a t the coronotion of King Ed ­ ward. In 1991 he became chancellor p f the University Of the State Ol New York. In London social cir­ cles Mr. and Mrs. Reid have been prime favorites among the royality. I t is estiviated th a t their social func­ tions during the cojonation of King Edward costa hundred thousand. Mr, Reid always held the closest interested in his home farm especi­ ally during the life of his mother. I t has been eleven years since lie visited the farm but it was expected th a t ho would return next spring. Most all of his early family connec­ tions has been called. The nearest relatives belbgJMrs. Oarrio Harbison Mr*. M. L. Bratton and Miss Tlrzah McMillan, first cousins., I t is probably th a t the hody of Mr. Reid will be buried in New York, where two infant children rest. His father, mother, brother and many other close relatives dire all buried a t Mhssio’s Creek cemetaty west ol town. Latest dispatches state that the body will bo convoyed to this country by an English warship. Services will ho hold in Westminis­ te r Abbey Friday, l ’ho family will sail Sometime nex t week. Upon the arrival <tf tho body, in Now York services will likely bo.held there, m which event Mr. and Mrs. Win. Conley, who reside, on the home farm, will attend. . Among the benevolences of Mr, Reid for Oedarvlilo was his contri­ bution of 500 volumes to tbchbrary. Another raagnificient gift was the a rt window in the Reformed Pres- byterian church m memory of . his parents, lifelong members. For. a number of years Mr. Reid’s picture hung in the proceenium arch over the stage in the opera house. While the opera house has just been redec­ orated care was taken by the artist to provide a place for. Mr. Reid’s likeness. The picture-vyas taken from the frame .and around it the a rtist worked a design of, medallion effect. Nothing Doing In Traction Line. In conversation several days ago with J , Fred Green, head of the Springfield, Troy and Piqua Trac­ tion, Company, former manager of the I). S. & U. th a t promoted a line through Here, stated th a t there ,is Utile'or nothing doing in traction building in this state, and it-would would he j?>oS3W W d e v tii& ^ 5 - sentrinwB. ■Mr-Green does not speak encour­ agingly of the traction situation, aha predicts that, under the now consti­ tution adopted la s t fall it-will be many years before 'financial inter­ ests Will risk their investments be­ ing attacked as Is now possible. As a result of the constitution thousands of dollars seeking invest­ ment is being sent out of the state. Mr..Green is now prospecting on a fifty-four mile lii in Kentucky. Meanwhile people living in towns th a t do not enjoy traCJtion- service can ' be Progressive and walk". It tan’t any wonder that the man who has accumulated a few thousand dollars doe|> not Want to risk invest­ ment subject to the whims of the mob and sends his money elsewhere for investment.

They fail to realize th a t Jn most cases an inexpensive gift IS as much appreciated as the more costly. The spirit in which the gift is made should be taken Into consideration rather than the cost. The following suggestions along thfa lino a r e worthy of your consideration: Don 't leave the cost mark on pres­ ents. ‘ , Dou’tlel Christmas giving deterio­ rate Into a trade. , Don’t let money dominate; your ChriBtmas giving. * ' Don’t embarrass yourself by giv­ ing moro than you can afford, ’ Don’t expect to receive as much as you give, as the odds are on the dis­ appointment. j Don’t acquire your Yuletide be­ fore the fun of Christmas actually begins. No Christmas is fulfilled full. Don’t bo the first to tell a child there is no Santa Claus. If you have to lio about It lie, and He as a t­ tractively as your education will premit, Don’t eat your Christmas dinner in a restauran t if you can find any • hi homo th a t you may eat it in, for a ChriBtmas dinner in a homo is worth two in the bUBh, Don’t iai your Christmas go by Without- giving some sort of present to a child. The excuse tha t you know no children will not suffice You can know plenty of iltem be­ tween now and the day of days. Don’t decide to abstain from glv ing just because you cannot aflord expensive presents. Tho thought- /ulness of your gift, tho interest you take in those to whom you give, are tiio principal things. The intrinsic value of your gift counts very little. Don’t give things because they are cheat* and make a Ing show for the money, As a rule, i t is a dangerous thing to pickup a lot of all sorts of things a t bargain sales for Christ­ mas presents. I f you do there is always the temptation to make in appropriate gifts. , ’T o o k h e r e ” At Wm.
