CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1916 PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR TRAGIC DEATH OF m r s . a r c h M c M il l a n . Falls Down Cellar Steps and Freaks Neck Which Resulted In Her Death. Several Hours Afterward Mrs. Rosa McMillan; aged 56, wid ow o f Archibald McMillan, met a most tragic death last Saturday morning by plunging headfirst down a cellar stairway, which resulted in breaking her necR as .well as crushing her skull. .The entrance to the cellar is by trap-door in a closet where clothes are kept, and as usual Mrs. McMillan, after arising Saturday morning, went to the closet fo r some clothing, evi­ dently unaware that the trap-door . had been left open. By this act she fell to the cellar where she was found in her night clothes by her children. Frantic screams oh the part o f the children aroused'neighbors, who rush­ ed to the home to find the unfortunate woman in a hehp in an unconscious • condition. Dr. E. C. Oglesbee was called, and upon examination found the neck was broken and the .skull crushed. She lived about four hours after the accident, v The husband died in Springfield about twelve years ago and the widow and her children moved here, her for­ mer home. She leayes three children, Mrs. Carl Buckles'of Jamestown, Lou­ isa, aged 14, and Roger 12, who lived with their mother. ' . ' The deceased whs a member of the United Presbyterian church, her pas­ tor,. Rev. McMichael, conducting the . funeral services from the late home on Monday afternoon. Dr. J» L. Chesnut assiste 1in the funeral service: Burial took place at Massies Creek ceme­ tery. ROADS BEING REPAIRED. S ' The Commissioners and township trustees have been doing considerable work on the rpads in this section of late. .The Jamestown pike has, been graded and will be rolled. The Fed­ eral pike, Wjimjngton road and Co­ lumbus pike have also been worked so that they should be in pretty fair shape for the winter. The* township trustees have been unloading stone ready for winter repair where the roads give out. This is an excellent, idea.

The: Republicans were the, only party to have a county ticket nomi­ nated. AUTUMN THOUGHTS BY RKV. H, BARKS JACKSON High up In the sky the dark clouds are flying, The summer birds haste to the south and the sun; . While autumn leaves red are drop- ■ ping and dylngy- How quickly l bow soon is life over and done! Scarcely here the peach-tree blos­ soms and blushes, f Scarce there the flowers have opened in May, Scarce love o ’ er par hearts tumiiltu- sly rushes, Till the petals are falling and passing away. There’ s ^ time for the blooming, a time lo r to hear,- A time for the flowers and autumn • leaf's sere, - So the seasons o f life have their brightness and care, Their sin and their shadow—their marriage and bier. We love and we weep—swept by rapture and sorrow; • , Are we dreaming the things that -come never again? O! what w ill be done when the day knows no morrow, When long in our graves we have silently lain- ' Be shed must thejperfumes; and the .folage blighted, V The new year^inuHt come, and new flowers must grow, And lovers shall meet, and" their vows shall be plighted On the green 'ofour graves, while we slumber below.

This' year he received 3,294,058, while Hughes had 7,958,687. It is almost certain that tho Repub­ licans will have a small majority in Congress while the upper branch will be Democratic by twelve. Already the Republicans are preparing for ot-J ganizing the House and there prom­ ises to be a contest over the speaker- ship. James R, Mann of .Illinois has been House leader for his party and more than once he and Congressman FcSs have locked horns. The Repub­ lican majority has always stayed with Mann as- Fess too frequently voted for Wilson measures that the Repub­ lican party was opposing. During the last campaign it was necessary, for Fess to explain his position in most every campaign speech and apologize for the way he voted on a number of important measures, DIDN'T LAST LONG.
