(Continued to pftso 3) s m Dr. Thompson Fires Broadside Into Campaign Dr. W. O. Thompson, President emeritus of the Ohio State University, and President of the Ohio Anti-Saloon League, fired a broadside Monday into the wet campaign being conducted in Ohio in the name o f President Hoov­ er. President Thompson says; “ It looks as if President Hoover is being betrayed in the House of his political friends,” By this he refers to the activity of Walter F. Brown, postmaster general Who has for several weeks been making political pledges for “ wet” delegates to the Republican convention in June. Dr. Thompson refers to David S. Ingalls ns “ wet” candidate for governor. Gilbert Bettman is classed the same against L. P. Taber, a “ dry” . Dr. Thompson is only bringing, to light just what the Herald has mentioned several times the past few weeks, when Brown secured an endorsement of L. T. Marshall by the Warren county organization in exchange for the naming of Arthur Hamilton, Lebanon, as delegate from the Seventh District to the Republican national conven­ tion. The Brown plan is to have a wet platform for the President, who already has been influenced to state that while he did not approve a change he would not object to such a plank in the platform. - Brown has been active in the Ingalls campaign from the first in opposition to Clarence Brown for governor, Ingalls is campaigning for a change in the 18th amend­ ment, The Seventh District will send a Brown controlled delegate to the National convention as Hamilton has no opposition in the primary. Followers of the dry cause now have a complete picture of the Seventh District con­ gressional situation and the part played by Brown, Pem­ berton, former lobbyist for Cincinnati saloon keepers, L, T. Marshall and United States Marshal, P. H. Creswell, who owes his appointment to Brown.

His case was once reversed by the Court o f Appeals and reversed later by the Supreme Court. He had served seven months in jail before1the Supreme Court gave a de­ cision. Politics In Bible Class; Members Walk Out On Local Candidate Some unusual things always hap­ pen in a political campaign. Some can­ didates always .attempt unusual meth­ ods; L. T. Masrhall had a very un­ usual experience a few Sunday’s ago in Bellefontaine. He appeared before a Men’s Bible Class in a .Methodsit Church in that city to give an address,; He had hardly made an impression un­ til he had launched*'’ into a political campaign speech. This did not set well according to advice we get from that section. More than, half the mem­ bers protested hy arising and leaving the room. Mechanicsburg citizens had no op ­ portunity* to take exceptions ^to the (Senator ( ? ) fo r he failed to keep his date, having forgotten all about ih rounds in Bellefontaine. Such a thing had hover been attempted in' that manner in anyother campaign in that city. SUIT ON CLAIM William M. Ellis has brought suit against J. C.

Pennsy Cuts Down On Local Train Service The Pennsylvania Railroad put into effect Inst Sunday a new time card for trains and with it a reduced ser­ vice, We now go back to the days o f ’65 with one train .each way a day, The first tpdirl will be at 1:49 P. M. for Cincinnati. T-he next train will be at 8:20 for Columbus. We no longer have the Indianapolis-St. Louis train that was much in demand for the kind o f times we are having. The company has even taken the clock out o f the local depot and the large ticket case. An old safe, desk and two chairs arc tho remnants o f equipment once used for operating a big business. Railroad business has dropped to aln>03tfnothing and cutting service has been mandatory. Cedar- villo is no worse than most other vil­ lages in this respect. We. know o f a few county seat towns that do not have the service given here. President McChesney gave the high School commencement address at S. Solon Thursday night, April 21, the Baccalaureate sermon at Martinsville Sabbath evening, April 24, the high school commencement address at Stout, Ohio, Monday, April 25, and visited the All-College Day at Troy, Q., Wednesday, April 27, and made the address at Reesville, Wednesday evening, April 27. The Women's Advisory Board is to be commended for the excellent dinner they served at jthe Junior-Senior- ban­ quet o f the Greene County High Schools and the commendable manner in which it was served.

The debators, Mr. Joseph Free, Wal­ ter Kilpatrick, Marion Hostetler, and Frank Trubee, journeyed over to W il­ mington last Thursday night.

Collins read * t the recent celebration at the Clifton U. P, church, Mr, Collins says; “ The third o f the documents which I have is a letter written on April 7, 1875 b y Rebecca T. Laughead to my father. It is evidently in answer to some questions relative tos the organ­ ization o f the Maasies Creek Church and its earliest days. From this letter Rebecca Laughead writes: “ In looking over my Father’s obituary notice I see that Massies creek congregation was organised in 1804, Mr, Armstrong you remember was their pastor. Father came with; some three or four families to Greene county, Ohio, in the fall o f 1798. He waa iiiarried in'the Springrof the same : year." ■ ' ■ • The church and the session house which stood beside it were both built o f stone. In structure the church Was much like the Presbyterian church in. Clifton,only larger. It had the long center aisle and raised platform at the end. (There was no choir space however and the aisle was wide enough' fo r the accomodation o f com­ munion tables and benches which were set up when the sacrament Was to he administered. These tables were much like the picnic tables and ben­ ches used today, only the tables were higher and covered with white linens, The-communicants sat at these tables and passed the common, cup from one* to another. The interior walks o f the church were whitewashed (this task being performed yearly by Old Billy Steems, a negro retainer o f my father, who served as janitor fo r some 35 years.) The- center aisle and pulpit platform were carpeted. The windows were plain glass. The.pews were o f solid walnut, as were the timbers o f the church.’ The site o f the church prop­ erty was very near to the present site o f Roger Collins’ house- I t contained four acres o f land. The Btone building which in my boyhood was-used, fo r a session house, had -been the original' church. Both buildings were heated by stoves. In addition to these two buUdingft thsrtk were the hitching sheds fo r the horses. These were privately owned and on the abandon­ ment o f the church many were moved to the church to which the members changed their membership. The build­ ings were Surrounded by locust trees and an attractive grassy lawnvThere was a spring at about the distance o f a city block away. ’ Its water was o f the yellow mineral qualit|r similar to the springs in Yellow Springs. The path down to this spring was the reg- ’ ular promonade fo r the worshippers’ during the intermission. It was the opportunity ’ fo r a brief period o f “ coupling o f f" i f it could be BUccess- fully hidden from the watchful eyes o f older folk. There was, o f course,' supposed to be no love making on the Sabbath, yet many a match was made right there on the church grounds' with the pretty stoned-up, elm-shad­ ed spring as a background. Dog Does Damage To Pringle Sheep Reed Pringle had one 200 pound hog killed Sunday night and two others in­ jured that will die as a result o f the ravaged o f a police dog. It is rather a rare thing for dogs to attack hogs of that size. The dog made his escape and Mr. Pringle had the hogs apprais­ ed. The loss must be paid from the dog tag fee fund the same *as fo r sheep. (College B. B.
