McChesney, president of Cedarville College, has received a very tempting offer from Dr. Ames Montgomery, president o f Lane Semi­ nary, Cincinnati. Dr. McChesney has been offered the chair o f Systematic Theology at a ' salary much greater than he receives as president o f Ce­ darville College. With the offer also is a residence free o f rent. Dr. McChesney will not make any derision until after the annual meet­ ing of the College Board in June. Lane Seminary is a Presbyterian institution and from it many noted ministers have graduated. Dr. Me Chesney is not only an eloquent ora­ tor but a scholar and theologian such as any seminary would desire. His resignation as president o f Cedarville College, particularly at this time as the institution ■ is branching out, would leftvc the college in an unfor­ tunate position Through the long years o f his personal' effort the col­ lege enters the coming year with an increased faculty due to the normal school. The attendance next fall will surpass three hundred students.

Flags should be displayed that day in honor o f the men that are handling many millions o f the public’s money. Few towns of this size in the district have attempted to entertain the members of this organization and Cedarville should look her best next Thursday. E. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Black willl return to their old home in Selma. The new owner is associated in the Houstonia Products Company. The accident is supposed to ’ have happened about nine o’clock that* nioming and the discovery was not made until 11:30, when Mrs. Finney went to the field to take her hus- ban’s dinner. He'was working alone when the accident happened. Just how the accident happened can never definitely ,be determined, It is though by some that he might have fallen from the .tractor during a faint as he had been subject to such spells now and, then since his illness last fall and winter. From surface indications it may, be that he had attempted to detach a disc harrow with the tractor running. He might have' been pulled beneath the wheel while doing this. It is said that" he had attempted* to cross a small, bridge bu t the approach had been washed away and he then proceeded to cross the ditch and it was here that the tractor teas mired with the unfortunate man’s body un­ der one wheeL Soon after Mrs, Finney gave the alarm neighbors- responded and a number from town went to the scene to lend aid. When the 'body was ex­ tracted his head and chest had been crushed as well as the left shoulder, No doubt death was instantaneous. The deceased was well known in the' agricultural circles o f this county. He was president o f the Greene Coun­ ty Jersey Cattle Breeders’ r Associa- , tion *and was interested in the boys’ , and girls’ club work. He has also been active in Farm Bureau Work and was one o f the leaders in organizing the local cream company. J Mr. Finney was horn in Springfield and was. the son o f Mr. and Mrs. John M.
