We hear from time to time of the success at
ending our former townsman. Mr.. o. S. Philpott.
n his architectural laboIs. Since his location at
Wheelir G. W. Va some years since, he has found
a varied and extensive field in which to employ
his talents and has climbed steadily upward,
until today he stands acknowledged as one CT the
leading architects in his section of the country.
1t is the recognition of genius and industry. His
abilities have commanded the admiring notice
of the press in the principal cities and towns of
his professional demesne. in which numerous
fine structures attest his genius. His achieve
ments have commanded the most gratifying rec
ognition, and repeatedly enlisted high critical
commendation. His works are of character
that attract attention and provoke inquiry.
During the last year he has prepared the plans
for and superintended the construction of over
fifty buildings in Ohio and W. Va. among which
are the new Insane Asylum at Spencer. W. Va:
improvement on State Penitentiary at Mounds
vile, W. Va; First Presbyterian Church at Pom
eroy. o.; Public School Buildings at McMechen.
and Point Pleasant. W. Va: State Normal School
at Fairmont. W. Va. He is also Architect for
the Public School Board of Wheeling.
A recent issue of the Wheeling Daily Register
speaks of him as beginning to be known through
out the whole State as an architect of great abi-
Inc FaTk0TSDurSs W. ds OIdLo JOuIuhA
says of him. among other things Mr.. Phil
potts advent among US has been stamped upon
the resident portions of our city. and the many
new residences which he designed and the many
changes he has made. testify to his ability" The
Parkersburg Sentinel also speaks very highly of
him. The Council of that city have employed
him to furnish plans for new City Building to
cost $50 900. He has furnished plans for several
of their public buildings. and has given eminent
satisfaction in every instance. In addition to
this. he has been employed by large number Of
the citizens of that place to prepare plans fol-
some of the costliest and handsomest residences
in the State of W. Va.
We are pleased to note the success of this wor-
thy gentleman. whose former residence here as
sociates his name with many events transpirine
here during that period. We congratulate the
people among whom he has located.wh are thus
privileged to command his fine architectural
abilities. When living here. his capacities and
attainments were recognized. and he was known
to possess high degree of talent, but at that
time there was almost no opportunity here
for its exercise. While we regret that his inter.
ests have called him to another field. we con.
gratulate him just as heartily. and suggest tt
those in need of an architects services. that they
consult their best interests by communicating
with Mr.. Philpott. There are plenty of archi
tects. but comparatively few who attain th'
eminence or possess the ability of our former
townsman.

GREETING


TO MR.. AND MRS. ROOT ON THEIR FoRTIETH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
Again to wish you happiness.
Friends have come once more;
Not the friends who met you
In that time of yore.
Forty years have circled
Since that happy day.
And many of the dear ones
Have passed from earth away.
Other treasures have been given
For each sundered tie,
And children children gladden.
The hours that hurry by.
Buds of hope have blossomed.
Fruitage, toop has come.
Countless blessings cluster
Round your pleasant home.
Pledges never broken
Fill the heart with joy.
No specter conscience raises
This day to annoy.
Faithful to those sacred VOWS
Through all these changing years.
Faithful through their many joys.
And faithful through their tears.
God grant you lengthened days
To journey hand in hand
Along an even pathway
Up to the better land"
May your declining years
Useful be and blest.
Till the Master giveth
To the weary rest.
Other vows you've taken
Since that marriage day;
Vows to serve the King of Heaven.
While on earth you stay.
To those VOWS keep faithful,
For temptations lie
Thick around the pathway
Leading to the sky.
But the Savior freely
Giveth unto all
Grace sufficient for their need,
Who upon Him call.
May you ever thus be kept
From the power of sin.
Till the gates of pearl are opened
For you to enter in,
FRANCES M. WARD.

Ravenna, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1891.

D. ns
Ravenna, Ohio, Sept 10, 1891.
TO THE HONORABLE, THE COURT OF COMMON
PLEAS WITHIN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF
PORTAGE, IN THE STATE OF OHIO.
The undersigned, having been duly appoint
ed by the Honorable George F. Robinson,
Judge of said court at the September term.
1891. to assist the prosecuting attorney OF SAID
county in examining the annual report OF the
county commissioners OF said county. in accor-
dance with the provisions of Section 917 of the
Revised Statutes of Ohio, 90 make and here
with submit the following:
FIRST, We find said report was made Sept. ~,
1891, and in form and substance complies with
the requirements of Section 317, covering trans
actions for and from September LIST, $780, to
SECOND. We find that a journal has been
kept, in which is duly recorded the action OF
the commissioners with reference to all expen-
ditureS ordered by them, and all other trans
actions of said board, and that the settlements
with the county officers have been duly made.
THIRD. In the matter of disbursements we
have carefully examined all the vouchers on
file for payment of money, and find them
same with the entries on the journal of the
commissioners, and other books and papers of
evidence OF commissioners and aud1tor, and
find them correct and duly authorized except
voucher No. 696. Said voucher No. 1886 charges
the county with S1445 expenses actually paid
out by one of the board of commissioners in
attending the annual meeting of the County
Commissioners State Association held at Co
lumbus, Ohio. January IL to 15, 1891. AS this at
tendance was not upon official business for the
county, we believe the above claim to have
been illegally allowed, and that said sum of
$14.45 shou be refunded into the county
treasury. Said claim was not certified and ap-
proved by the prosecuting attorney and pro-
bate judge, as required by Section s97, Revised
Statutes.
FOURTH, We find said commissioners have
made levies for the various county purposes in
accordance with the statutes in such cases
made and provided; that they have authorized
certain changes and repairs upon the county
jail and sheriff's residence after legally adver-
tising the same and letting the contracts to the
lowest bidder; and have provided for the pay
ment of the above contracts, by the issuing and
sale of the bonds of the county to the amount
of $4,000, as provided in Section S7l ct seq, r.
s. U.
We tender the county auditor and other Off
cials of the county, our thanks for information
and courtesies extended to us while making
this examination.
Respectfully submitted.

concur in the foregoing report except as to
voucher No. 696. Had this claim been certified
to and approved by the probate judge and my
self, think its allowance and payment both
proper and legal under Section S97 Revised
Statutes.
