They are just in bloom. They are fully a month ahead o f us here. Cedarville is one o f the beauty spots p f ’ southern Ohio—clean, broad, smooth Streets, paved with hard The college is a fine institution, with some fine buildings and a fine cam­ pus. All the Ohio institutions gener­ ally are o f a high order. Dr. W. R. McChesney is an ideal college presi­ dent, not only & very able and learned teacher, but a great friend. Everybody opes him. .He and all the professors, and in fact, the .trustees and the many people we met in the town were un­ believably kind to us. “ They had a great commencement lasting’ all the week, including the faculty reception, a purely democrat­ ic affair, the senior class play, the scene of \yhich was laid in Vermont, Montpelier being mentioned as the fo ­ cal point, when the large opera house was filled, a field day all day Wednes­ day in the broad open, among the cedar trees, with the crowning of the Muy Queen, pageants o f Ruth and Boas, ball games and picnics—inci­ dentally I played a game of ball and got a home run—the' annual alumni banquet, nnd commencement day ex­ ercises on Friday. “ Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of the Chicago area o f the Methodist Epis­ copal church, probably the most pop­ ular bishop of their denomination, and one o f the ablest orators o f the day, delivered the commencement day ad­ dress on the subject “ The Perils of Ed­ ucation.” It was a great address, and the opera house was packed with sev­ eral hundred people, Bishop Hughes is himself a past college president, a great believer in human idealism, and a great lover of young people. He is well known to the people of Barre because o f his long nnd notable resi­ dence in Boston. “ We met a fine group of earnest, forward-looking. young people, and they all seemed anxious to get ac­ quainted with us and couldn’t do enough fo r us.” When asked about the. degree, Mr, Grant pointed tp the. sheepskin and said, "Oil, o f course I was glad to get it. Any normal man would be and let me tell you that it means somethipg to me—chiefly as a challenge. I ’ll never forget the. beautiful way the president presented it. If only what he said were true! But let me tell you, too that the best thing about the whole trip was not seeing Niagara Falls, nor passing through the smoke Pocano 'mountains and the Delaware water gap on the way home, but get­ ting acquainted with a thoroughly Christian college, and feeling that you are a part o f it. New England needs tlie acquaintance with such a school, Cedarville college has a large future ahead o f it, and I’m glad that several Barre boys arc already enrolled in the freshman class for next year. I wish there wore more,” —Barre, Ver., Daily Times. For pump work o f any kind call on Marion Hughes.

The groom was accompanied by his sister, Miss Jennie Ervin.” “ The Tarbox Bros, made eider out o f pumpkins, but it wasn't very good; they made molasses out of cider and the molasses wasn't very good; hut the powder they, made of-the pumpkin was very good, and if you don’t be­ lieve it ask John Stanley.” ‘ “Will Northup, while out hunting Friday, near Dave Williamson’s, shot a squirrel which lodged on a limb of the tree as it fell. He climbed the tree to shake it down and, while doing so; he fell to the ground on some roots and broke his leg above the knee, strained on e ,o f his arms badly and bruisedriiis head and face considerably. He was brought to his father’s home near the lime kiln and Dr, Madden succeeded in setting the broken bone,” Temperance and prohibition was an important topic back in those days and there was much stir here over that issue.
