bethel Township High school Reunion,

Bethel Township High school Reunion.
Through the persistent efforts Of few OF
the live members OF the High school, arrange
ments were completed by which the first
annual reunion Of the above school was held
at Olive Branch Thursday afternoon and
evening, August sixth.
A game of base ball constituted the princi-
pal feature of the afternoon sports. The rain
and threatening aspect of the weather de-
tracted from the interest usually shown 10
this game, but otherwise the afternoon sports
were enjoyed by all.
About seventy invitations, including the
members and ex members of the school, were
sent out and about forty OF those receiving
invitations attended.
Before repairing to the table, spread with
bountiiul supper prepared by the lady men,
bers OF the school, a number OF the familiar
school songs were sung, Anna AcOieary
acting as organist
After all present had done justice to the
abundant supply of luxuries spread before
them, there remained more than would have
satisfied the absent members OF ths school.
The fragments having been disposed Of, the
school repaired to the high school room,
where an interesting literary programme hsd
been prepared for the enr rtainment Of all.
Letters from members OF the school from q
distance were read, and remarks were made
by q number present.

decided to have annual meetings, and tor this
purpose Frank Hayes was appointed chair
man and Il. e. Wagner secretary Of a COM
mittee OF tour whose duty It shall be to Ar
range for the meeting of next year.
All present pronounced the reunion a very
enjoyable one and expressed sympathy Tor
those not present. No member that could
reasonably get there could afford To miss b' :
ing present.

German citizens met at headquarters in Cen
trail rink last evening to take preliminary
action in the way OF preparation for the pro-
posed fest, picnic and flag presentation on
the Clark county fair ground, Monday, Sep.
tember Z. Mr.. Herman Voges WAS CALI d tc
the chair and Mr.. Joseph Schneider wa:
elected secretary of the meeting. Chas

Before the business meeting the drill corps
OF twenty-five young men and boys, which
will compete Tor Springfield at the fest, was
exercised in the presence Of II large crowd OF
spectators by W. TrOutwein, the drill master,
whose instruction was received in Germany
and who is very expert in the semI-military
maneuvers and manual. The local society is
about one year old and this is to be its first
demons tralion. 1t has made good progress,
but the expectation Of the managers is that
the fest will further strengthen the organiza-
tiOn by giving the members an opportunity
to compare notes with older turner's. There
will be grand parade at 10 a. m. through
the city to the fair grounds, where there will
be addresses, drill contests and other
athletic sports OF a national character
There are. twelve Of these subordinate
societies In the Ohio Bczirk, located in Cincin-
natl, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Dayt ton
and other Of the larger cities, and as pointer
TO the probable attendance it may be said
that arrangements have already been made to
run an excursion from Cincinnati bringing
two hundred people. The flag to he pre-
sented to the local society 10 very rich and
elegant banner, and Is now In course OF con-
struction in this city. The Big Six band has
been secured to provide music for the parade
aud at the grounds. Excepting last years
SGngerfest nothing managed by our Teutonc
citizens has been OF 30 great importance and
interest as the coming Ohio funniest.

What the Shakers Beliey, About pis.

se.-They have learned from many years
experience, that nine-tenths of all the diseases
OF mankind arise from imperfect digestion OF
food; for this reason they have spent gears
of labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Siegel's Syrup and it Operates like
a charm in all cases OF indigestion.
1t is not what we eat that makes US strong,
but that which we digest. This is the doc
trine of the Mount Lebanon Shakers. Peo-
pie who are weak and languid, tired and fee
ble often wonder. The reason is that the
food eaten does not give strength because it
is not digested. The Shaker Extract of Roots
(Siegers syrup will restore the digestion to
a healthy condition and drive away the head
ache, the pains in the side and back, the dis
tress after eating and make the sleep afford
rest.
