The dedication of the elegant new hall of

Saturday Unfortunately il rained nearly the
entire day and the carrying out of the elaborate
program in accordance with the original design
was an impossibility. but the occas ion was one
of great interest and will long be remembered
by those in attendan ,e for its grand purpose
and successful conduct in the face of the hostile
elements. About so members of the RaYenna
Lodge and about 25 other citizens of the place
were in attendance, and the total number of
delegates and visitors, while much short of
what it would have been had the weather been
propItious. was agreeably large, much more so

| obscured the light that entitled the day to its
name. There were five bands present: 6 A z
of Canton. Great Western, of A kron, Windham
| and Mogadore bands, and the one belonging to
the "Uncle Hiram" Company, which played
| there that night. The dedcatory services al

mile in length and well repaid those who wit

The Trustees of Ravenna township held a
called meeting Monday at the office of Clerk

Messrs Beatty and Evans to attend court that
day. Township tax was levied as follows: For
| township purposes, 4-Iotbs of mill; cemetery,
71z-I road, I mill, one-half money and one

the Trustees proceeded to the cemetery, where
they selected triangular lot No. o32, in the
graded and plated portion of the new part, for
the burial of soldiers who may die in INDECENT
circumstances. Two bodies that were inferred
in Potters field will be removed to the new site,
The lot was selected with reference to the future
erection of a soldiers monument, which will
probably be done some day.
