Harper, whose death took place about night years ago.’ Following the death o f Mr. Harper, the large estate, was divided among heirs on his m e although much of it went to th* widow, who was wealthy in her own right. About a year ago Mrs,. Harper pur­ chased an addition to the North Ceme­ tery and presented it to the associa­ tion. On this addition was greeted a mausoleum’at a cost o f about $15,000.

H arper wish In Oils manner to ex ­ press their appreciation o f this many acts o f kindness extended to her by her many friends in Gedar- vjHe, and for the sorvices so gener­ ously rendered after her death.

Probably the most interesting con­ test will be. that for governor. Gov. Willis is nrft to ge t'a second nomina­ tion without opposition. The gover­ nor’s administration has been any­ thing but a satisfactory one to 'che general public and special interests. The Governor went into office on a Score o f platform promises, some of which have been kept, some which he could hot put into force and others, that, he could have made good but did not f<5r political effect. The first to enter was A. B. Shaw, prominent Cleveland attorney and oil operator who seems to have the backing of the business interests. The second con­ testant will he R. A . Mack, o f Cincin­ nati, for many years attorney for the Ohio Anti-Saloon League in that coun­ ty. Mack just resigned his connec­ tion with the Anti-Saloon League lost week. His platform will be to attack the record o f Governor Willis so far as his admir ’Station affects the good government of. the state and the en­ forcement of laws that pertain to the morals o f the state but which have been purposely Ignored due to his as­ sociation with the liberal league lead­ ers who will now-support him rather than oppose him as they did two years ago. Mad promises to campaign in every county in the state and appeal to the drys for support. He also promises to expose the famous deal in Hamilton county wherein Willis went over to the liquor interests to get that vote. Mack being, on the inside of some o f the Anti-Saloon League trades should have some interesting South Charleston, Geo#sr Murray, a banker, in Akron, Color dp., A broth­ er, James Murray, o f I ?uth..
