And here is an old time citizen suffering with the “flux,” and ailment which' seemed to have passed on*, as completely as these early sufferers of the malady. “Several persons/' says editor George B. Graham, "have read the Herald in the last two and one-half years since we took it over but have failed to furnish, an equivalent” We take it that Editor Graham was taking 4 , .dig a t delinquent subscrib­ ers in this* subtle comment. Now l wonder who has been- break­ ing up. things in J, H. Miiburn & Son's grocery. I t is noted, he is advertising glass* ware: and dishes by the “piece,” in the August 22,1882 issue. “Phew!” what a stench created- by a dead, dog removed from under the “sucker jug” domicil by Constable Crane on a certain “yesterday morn­ ing” sixty years ago. The “sucker jug” according to the report was lo­ cated on the southwest corner of. R. R. and Main Street. : And who recalls this thriving in­ dustry of yester year—a gun wad factory in the rear of the building now occupied, by Richards drug store, Will Hart states in 1882 that he ’will pay 10 cents per pound for young chickens and 6 cents per pound for old ones. J. W. -Pollock takes prizes’ a t the fair on Draught Horses, De­ von Cattle, and sheep. The Coopers* Cornet band invited out to a birthday party given by Mrs; Captain Stewart on the Selma road.. On the way back the band stopped in- Clifton and gave that village a .free concert. Robert Murray, an “old and re­ spected citizen” died a t .the age of 85 years just forty one .-years ago. Strange indeed, to find in this story of my great .grandfather’s life that he came from high Scotch birth, a descendent from the House of Both* well, as was my great grand mother who. was. known.in the old country as Lady Martha Gordon. Losing his parents, a t the age of 6 years, grand­ father. Robert Murray was virtually cast adrife by his relatives and from that time, bis life reads like a repeti­ tion of David Copperfield. In the same, isiue Coxey’s Army .Js. said to be eonyergihg ott Washington. “Pres­ ent in the body,” .says the editor, “are many professional loafers and tramps.” - And hear is a grim tragedy of March-26, 1895, which will always remain vividly in my mind without having it refreshed by old news re­ ports. Little-wonder when as a todd­ ling youngster I came so near to be* ing listed as- one of the casualties. “Supposed Murder and -Arson,” say the conservative headlines ahove- the story of the disastrous fire which de stroyed the homestead of W. . H. Walker (now the site of the*Old Mill Camp on the road to Xenia). I was in that house with my grandparents that stormy March, night and would have been burned to death most cer­ tainly, save for the: timely rescue Of a forgotten home town hero In the person of “Dude’’ Deck who ran all the way from the paper mill to burst open (he front door With the cry, “Run for your lives!” I t was “Dude” who lifted me from my bed and car­ ried me in his arm* to-safety. But there was one- other in the house that night who did not get out, -Sanford Wilson, a devoted favorite of my early childhood. Sanford Wilson was burn­ ed to death that night and the mem­ ory of that horrible tragedy leaves a depressing horror with me to this day. Th* murder and. arson theory was, incidentally, discounted later when silver money was found.near the victim's charred body. And look a t this’priceless relic—a Cedarville Herald of Saturday, Jan, 1, 1881, Vol. 11, No, 1, and which, car­ ries the report of marriage of Andrew Jones and Mattie Gannon, on Decem­ ber 23, 1880. Also a report of Ce­ darville Public Schools in the same issue—Enrollment 281, Roll of honor in Room No, 1 includes the names of j Elmer Arment, Eitdfc Arment, Carl jBeemer, Mabel Black, Wm. Ford , 1 j Mary Gaylor, Sarah Gaylor, Rebecca ;Gaylor, Callie Huffman, Walter lliff, Maze McLean, Ranee, McLellan, Lultf Owens, Cliton Randall, Kittle Smith, Eddie Townsley, May White, Lizzie Phillips. This report includes the same honor' *listings of each room but these must wait ,as it would require too much space to list them all a t this writing, The teachers of that day were! Ada Lanius, Nettie Dallas, Lizzie Andrew, Tillie McCollum, Miss Dawson, and H, H. James, colored. Incidentally, it is noted by way of contrast to the honor roll « summary of “corporal punish­ ments” totals 11 , for room No. 1 . Will Mitchell watching his wood pile with a iho t gun, And hers I find among some school day heirlooms, a brave attempt at verse writing in dedication to a well known local character. The writing is alt hut obliterated but we note the poem is entitled “Th* Lamp-lighter Man*”"' The- first m em pretends as fellows: ( 1 ) The Lamp-lighter Man used to coma long ago, In the evening when day was dying, With ladder and cart and torch Ught aglow, And the night moths gleefully flying. A glimmer of gold up the dark village i street - Like a will-of-the-wisp cams slinking, To the thump! thump! thump! of his heavy Shod feet, As he set the street lamps to blinking. I (Note—The next three verses un­ decipherable.) . ( 2 ) sta r down the dark We follow his alley way, By the quarry so lonely and dreary, And a lone robin warbles a lilting lay To all who are wornand weary. Oh! 'twas pleasant indeed in that fond shadow'd past, To gather like we happy seven Around the dear spot where those dim lanterns cast A halo of peace straight from heaven, (3) But Rme has no goal to pause in its • ‘ flight; c Youth’s wick gives out in its turning— l if e ’s spring fades out like a falter- ■ing light And ceases its brief earthly burning. So'that; Lamplighter Man who came long, ago- In the evening when shadows were falling Has gone to a land where fairer light : ■glOW--- From whence there can be no • recalling. (4) But now I oft’ wonder "as twinkling * stars glow Far across the heaven’s blue lining, I f the Lamp-lighter Man we knew long ago Is setting God’s street lamps to shining.
