Bwcah Williams hat been oppointed and qualified ft* Executor o f the es­ tate o f George Parker, late o f Greece County, Ohio, deceased. Dated this 9th day o f August, A. D, 192?, ' \ • S. 0 . WRIGHT, Prpbate ifodge o f *ald County. Because o f his being born at Xenia and reared fit’Ce­ darville, Wilbur D. Nesbit, 'humorist, poet and advertis-,. iii# counselor, was almost a Dayton man. In fact, he had . been regarded as an adopted son because o f his variety o f friendship and business connections in Dayton, His loss hence is keenly felt here. So great was his capacity for work and so fine his in­ tellect, that Wilbur D. Nesbit could have made his mark . in almost any field in which he might have chosen to em­ ploy them. For years his humor was relished by a vast circle of readers of the Chicago papers and after that his poetry was keenly enjoyed by the nation. One of his poems, a very great patriotic work, promises to live as long as the American flag flies. Congenial, witty and sound in his views, he was an American o f the finest type and a favorite in all circles. He made his mark in American journalism and in clean and scientific advertisingsHad it been given to him to en­ joy a longer life span, doubltess he would "have further enriches contemporary American literature and adver­ tising practice, Dayton mourns with Xenia and Cedarville in fiis passing.. The most consoling thought is that he lived cleanly, worked industriously and most successfully and left more than a passing foot-print on the sands of time. “ Dayton Herald % I EDUCATIONAL MISSING WORD 1 CONTEST f RETURN ANSWER BLANK The missing word for the first week..........J....... .........
