It deals with Of the village from ;pfeseat day- -Iniifc In recognition o f this event show­ ing our growth and prosperity a pageant was -arranged fo r Wednesday afternoon. * Business mbit responded with Boats and decorated.automobiles. Every mode o f transportation' from the Oxen down .to the modern, automo­ bile was exhibited. While probably not the largest yet we doubt if .the county has ever witnessed a' mom striking pageant, where ideals were more original and in keeping with that which it was intended. There were two divisions, the automobiles and horse drawn vehicles. The following had floats: Ex? change Bank, six horse team drawing a load o f money; Robert Bird & Sons Co.; Richards Drug Store;- Home Clothing Co,; Tarbox Lumber Go.; Hagar Straw Board & Paper Co.; Kerr Hastings; W. C, T. U, in an appeal to save the boys and girls; Cultipe Meat Market; Post Bakery; McKee Hardware Store; S. o f V. or­ der; Cedarville College iri probably the most striking float of the parade; “ Old Ocean” the hand fire engine that in years has dene yeomen service in saving property. In decorated automobiles special mention is due the Shroades Hard­ ware Store, Cedarvilld Roller Mills, Dr. J. O, Stewart, Paul Turnbull, Dr. M. I. Marsh, Andrew Winter, Fred Clemans, and a score of others.. One other division represented the decorated buggies, carts and tandem teams- Johnson, the Jeweler, made quite a hit in “Johnson’s Fine (Stock.” Another cart o f special mention was that o f G. H. Smith's children. In line was the finely finished coach be­ longing to the Hon, Whitelaw Reid Which has been kept on the home farm. The old stage coach was put On by Earl Crow and others and formed a striking contrast to pur present day mode of travel. Last but not least was Mose Jones, horseback, leading his “houn dog,” In the pub­ lic square Some joker placed “ carbon” on Mosc's hofBe and for a time things looked dangerous with the horse kicking and snorting. Other firms with decorated vehicles were Vt. C. Nagley, the Christian En­ deavor Society and Patent Bleachers’ Association, Charles Hannabery had a beautifully decorated Reo car while the (apse of time was well shown by Morris Peterson With a horse apd dow drawing an old pheaton. Hon. Andrew Jackson was grand marshal of the pageant and present­ ed a handsome appearance m mili­ tary uniform, ' CENTENNIAL SERMON. Dr/ Joseph Kyle, president of Xenia Theological Seminary, d native Of this place, delivered the centennial sermon in the opera house Sabbath evening to a large audience- The Dr. took fo r text Hebrews 12:1-2, fit­ tingly applying the words to the occa­ sion/ Tree sermon made a deep impression upon the large audience.

H. A. Johnston, J. A. Orr, Joseph Kyle, W. W, Iliff, H. P. Jackson, Homer McMillan, J. H. Mc­ Millan. In it we find a. fine likeness o f Wilbur D. Nisbet and a contribu­ tion from h is pen. The committee is to he b e ' congratulated on the book. WINDOW DECORATIONS. Special mention is due the McKee Hardware store and Robert Bird & Sons Co. for their -window decora­ tions for the centennial. The latter made a special exhibit of the relics be­ longing to Mayor McLean which he gained while serving in the Phillipine islands several years ago. Mr. J. Victor Tarr, our local artist, exhibited some special work in. the J. C. Barber window that attracted con­ siderable attention. One view was an enlarged picture showing the C. M. Ridgway building, as it stood fifty years ago when I. F, Frazer ran a dry goods store in that building. In front can he seen a number o f men and women On horseback, the latter wearing the long riding skirts so common in those days. A view of the Boyd buildings then is also shown. It is almost a transformation when you compare the building of fifty years ago to those o f today. Mr. Tarr also shows some life enlarge­ ments of the late W. M. Barber, Alex, Turnbull, L, B. Bull -and Iris Townsley and wife. These pictures were highly commended from an ar­ tistic standpoint, MANY, MANY THANKS. The Dayton Po\ve; & Light Co, has heeh warmly commended in the manner in which they have assisted the centennial committee in the deco­ ration of Main street. The company placed over 1,000 feet of electric light decoration without cost for labor or power to the committee. There was no little expense connected with this work and the company has'won many warm supporters through this gen­ erous act. The Fall Festival Com­ mittee , o f Xenia owned the electric lights and granted our committee the use of them, for all of which we are truly grateful. Thahks is also due the S, of V. band for their splendid music. Among the former residents and guests here for the celebration were: T. C.
