Passed Away.

At II o'clock on Wednesday night
of last week, "Aunt Maria," relict of
the late Deacon Lorenzo Chaplin, died
at the residence of her son-in-law, Ro-
dolphus Ladd, in Mantua, in the s9th
year of her age. On the day before
her death she was as we'll as she had
been for some months previous, and
was engaged in sewing all day. She
retired feeling well, but about half
past eleven she called her daughter,
and in thirty minutes was dead. Mrs.
Chaplin was sister of the late Zenas
Kent, and Of the mother of the editor
of the PRESS. She moved to Mantua
with her late husband in 1914, and had
lived on the farm on which she died
for about 81 years. She united with
the M. E. Church in its earliest history
III Mantua, and was cOmforted and
consoled by its faith in her last days.
She leaves two sons-Austin II. and
Charles Chaplin, of fMichigan-andt two
daughters - Abigail, wife of Horace
Ladd, and Eliza, wife of Rodolphus
Ladd, of Mantua-to mourn her death
She was woman who enjoyed the
universal esteem and respect Of her
neighbors and acquaintances.

On Thursday last the Ravenna Viii
lage Board of Education let the con-
tract for building the new school house
in the northeast quarter at the town to
Capt. P. B. Carpenter for the sum of
SIT, 160. There is large per cent, if
not majority of the citizens
of the town who are bitterly op-
posed to the action of the Board in
this matter, and who claim that they
were misled into voting forthe erection
of a new school building in that local
ity at the Spring election by repre-
sentations on the part of the Board
that the proposed new bnilding was
designed for primary and secondary
schools and was to cost not to exceed
$4,000, while now 1t Is proposed to
erect building for high and grammar
departments ut a much greater cost
some say, not less than $25, 600 or $780,
600 when complete-and that had the
proposition been submitten to the
voters to erect the edifice now proposed
1t would have been overwhelmingly
defeated. A remonstrance against the
letting of the work was drawn up and
circulated few hours before the OPEN
ing of the bids, receiving the names of
some sixty or more citizens, protesting
against the letting of the job, but it
received no consideration at the hands
of the Board. There is much feeling
and warm discussion on the subject,
and legal steps are threatened to en-
join further action In the premises.

Democratic Convention.

County Democratic Convention.
The Democrats of Portage County,
by their delegates, met in Convention
In Citizens Hall, at II o'clock a. m. -,
on Saturday, July 18th, 1882, pursuant
to the call of the Central Committee.
Owing to the busy season-most of the
farmers being in the hay and harvest
helds-the attendance was very slim,
many of the townships being wholly
unrepresented.
The Convention was called to order
by L. F. Wilcox, Chairman of the
Central Committee, and on motion D.
q. Goodman, Esq, was chosen Presi-
dent, and p. B. Conant, Secretary. I.
On motion the Convention took a
recess till one O'Clock, p. m.
The Convention reassembled at one
O'Clock, p, M, pursuant to adjourn
ment.
On motion the Convention proceeded
to elect by ballot five delegates to rep-
resent the Democracy of Portage
County in the Democratic State Con-
vention to be held at Columbus on
Thursday, July Goth. The vote result
ed in the choice of the following dele
gates: I. F.. Wilcox, E. P. Hatfield,
o. s. Rockwell, J. B. Harrison, G. s.
Cotter.
On motion 1t was voted that the del
egatiOn have power to fill any vacancy
that may occur in their number.
A motion to proceed to select the
Democratic Central County Committee
for the ensuing year ELECTED an car
nest and prOtracted discussion, several
delegates deeming it improper for a
Convention in which so many town.
ships were unrepresented to assume
that work. The proposition was final
ly so modified as to permit the town
ships represented to name their MEM
bers of that Committee, and to retain
the present members of the Committee
from such of the townships as were
not represented in the Convention.
The following names were announc-
ed: Franklin, d. M. Marshall; Ra-
VIENNA, J. HI. Nichols; Shalersville,
Lafayette Smith Suff1eld, Joel Co
burn Windham, I. N. Wilcox.
The Convention, on motion, pro.
oseded to the selection Of County

Th8 Year without a summer.
Uncle Shel Newton says: In 1916
there was plain, visible frost every
month in the year. It was the year
without summer. North of here la
borers worked in the harvest fields
with their coats on and buttOned up.
Wheat and potatoes were average
crops. The season to the middle of
July was cold and dry, even more
backward than this has been. The
latter half Of July and all OF August
was fine growing weather, though one
or two slight frosts occurred. Corn
growed vigorously for six weeks. On
the night of the 9th of September q
stinging frost cut off all vegetation.
Corn fields were wilted and burned as
though by fire. The Western Reserve
was then comparatively a wilderness,
just after the war of 1872, without q
market, without money of any kind,
the people making their own clothing
by hand, ate only what they raised,
drinking rye coffee, and wearing buck
skin clothing. Yes, to my certain
knowledge the gifted and talented
Rev. Charles A. Bosrdman wore a
pair Of dserskin pants in 1914. After
the skins were tanned, he painted or
colored them blue, and had them cut
and made in the latest style. They
made splendid appearance, and would
have worn till this if he he had lived
80 long."-[ Youngstown Vindicator.

George Robinson, one of Ravenna's
most. valuable and esteemed citizens,
died at his residence, East Main street,
about noon on Wednesday, July 18th,
after protracted illness of several
weeks, aged eighty-one years. He
was born in Pennsylvania, In 1901, and
came to Portage county in 1885, serv-
ing in the corps of civil engineers on
the Pa. & Ohio canal during the con-
struction of that work and officiating
as Chief Engineer on the Cleveland &
Pittsburg and the Cleveland & Maho-
ming Railroads. For several years lie
was President of the Second National
Bank of Ravenna. He was man OF
great force of character, of strict in
tegrity, an affectionate husband and
parent, a kind and accommodating
neighbor and a good citizen. He
leaves an aged widow, with whom for
over half century he had travelled
life's rough journey, and two sons
Alfred X. and George F., and four
daughters-Mrs. H. w. Riddle, Mrs.
u. X. Smith and Miss Frances II.
Robinson, of this village, and Mrs. L.
+. Wilds, of Akron and hosts of friends
to mourn his death. His funeral took
place from the family residence at two
o'clock Friday afternoon under the
direction of the Odd Fellows Lodge OF
this place, of which, for many years
he was worthy and esteemed MEM
Der, and his remains were followed to
their resting place in Maple Grove
Cemetery by a large concourse OF
neighbOrs and friends.

The following from the Seneca Falls
Rsveille ia 80 exactly suited to our
ideas that we give it place in our ed
itorial column:
The editing of local newspaper is
no light task, as many are led to be-
lieve. The identity and personality of
the editor can not be concealed or
avOided-he speaks for himself and all
his readers know him, and upon him
rests the whole responsibility of all hs
says. Self respect and an ardent de-
sire to do we'll and to deserve well at
the hands of his subscribers and pa
irons prompt him to strive constantly
in season and out of season, 80 to con-
duct his journal as to reflect credit
upon himself and upon the community
in which 1t is published. The first
and most essential thing in the con-
duct Of local journal is to have it
clean. No line or word should be ad-
mitted to its columns that might not
be repeated in the family circle. In
it's dealings with men it should be fair
and just-if occasion should arise for
praise or blame it should be justly
meted out. Personal prejudice for coed
or i'll should never control editorial
columns. Asa purveyor of news the
weekly paper needs much watching
and constant scrutiny. TO these essen
tials for the decent conduct of a news
paper must be added the need Of the
earnest cooperation of the community
among whom it circulates and for
whose benefit, if properly conducted,
it does SO much. No class of men know
better than editors the bitterness of the
want of appreciation and of moral and
material support. II people would
only realize what an advantage 1T is to
town to have a decent paper, they
would with one accord tender such en-
cOuragement and support as would
tighten the editorial burden and lift
up the editor's heart. The labor be-
slowed on a live local journal is very
great and it should meet with a gem
erous recognition on the part Of all
who are interested in the success and
prosperity of the place in which it is
published.
