The ctfehration o f our onq hun­ dredth, birthday is now a matter of hist >ry and a very enjoyable event it Was. With streets decorated,, bands playing", the glad welcome to home- comers on every face, made the old town appear as never before. For years baclc Cedarville has been credited a little bit slow on public demonstrations but thisjdea has been blotted out'since our celebration last week. Qur neighboring friends tell us we have taken the lead, .it is up to our merchants and home people to maintain it. Thursday’ s part o f the centennial program,; was somewhat different from the day previous when the great pageant was staged, The early morning was given over to the parade by the colored' folks who wanted to show »iheir Royalty to the town'"’ and community, which was done in a very commendable Way. ‘ During the day we had the Greene county old soldiers reunion. Gen. J. Warren Keifer- of Springfield was to address his comrades but for some reason did not appear., In the organ­ ization Andrew Jackson was chosen chairman; John McPherson, secreta­ ry, and J. B. Cummings, treasurer. Thursday afternoon' a reminiscence meeting was held in the opera house when “ old times" . were related. Among the speakers were Hon. J. B. Cummings, A . S. Fraser, Rev. H. P. Jackson, S, K. Williamson, Gen. Jas. • Cline and Robert Hood. Music was, furnished by-:the S. of. V. band. .Colored. Folks Celebrate. - The local colored fraternity contri- " buted to the centennial celebration, by having a special program of their own following a parade with a num- •ber o f floats. Music for' the day was furnished by Smith’s' Band of Spring- *, -).,.^,i)iiiiaal»it. - W. A." Robinson was president* of the Home-Coming committee, Mary Spencer, secretary, Bouis Smith the •other member o f the committee. ' Following the •parade a : special program wa^ enjoyed at the Jackson pafck south o f town where several hundred colored colored people en joyed the .day; * .-J Angel Food cake: Miss Jennie Brat- t°®» first; Miss Eula Creswell, second. Devil’s Food cake: Miss Bertha Stormont. 1 Sugar cookies: Mrs. Puffer; fruit cookies, Mrs.. Jeanette Eskridge, who also received first on brow^, bread. Annual Event Suggested. So well pleased has, everyone been over the celebration it has been aug- gested that the town hold an annual event instead of one every hundred years. It need not be necessary to hold anniversary celebrations, but some such display should be made at least once a year to keep the town before the people of this and sur­ rounding countieB. A large number of towns have such celebrations that are productive of much .good. They extend business boundaries and bring the people of the community in closer touch with one another. The nerald suggests that the Com­ munity Club look into the advisabili­ ty 6f purchasing electrical equipment for street decoration Buch as was used last week. This*part, of the centen­ nial brought forth much favorable comment. It was a good advertise­ ment for the town. Among those here for the. centen­ nial not mentioned last week, were: Clyde and Charles Barr, Dayton; Mrs. Lizzie Collett, Van Wert; Ruth, Reed, Spring Valley; Mrs. W. R. Horner, Lawrence Horner, Springfield; Mrs. LeStie Mitchell, New Carlisle; Ham­ lin Biff and sister, Susan, Gen, James Clirie, Springfield; John Lowry, Mor­ row; Mrs. Abide White, Delaware.

Price o f Osborn is al­ most certain to enter., Some time ago while L. T. Marshall was still dele­ gated with IT jqss power” in Republi­ can ranks, an effort, was -made to crowd Rice out of the race to save the judgship for the chairman's brother, J. 0. Marshall, who soon steps down and out as clerk p f court. A peculiar situation exists just, at iresent with Rice and Marshall, While Marshall was trying to frame up a job to keep Morris out along came the primary and the electorate having tired of the Marshall steward­ ship, o f the party, chose a committee that failed to recognize him when organization day came. Rice fared rather badly himself, in his race for central committeeman in Osborn, get­ ting 24 votes while, his opponent re­ ceived 94. If the Marshall crowd puts Up the same kind Of a campaign against Rice as was used against R. 0 . Wade for clerk of court, thingB will get interesting by November.
