In view of the fact that all the labor
of keeping the accounts with the con-
sumers of the incandescent light will fall
on the Clerk, the proposed ordinances
increasing his salary, is but just. The
ordinance proposes to decrease the sala-
ries now paid Mayor, Marshal and So
licitor by much more than the amount to
be added to the Clerks salary, so that a
material saving to the town will result
This is also right. The salaries paid
these officials is out of proportion to their
services, and now when experts will have
to be employed by the town to manage
the light plant, there is an excellent op-
portunity to effect saving by doing
away wholly or in large part with these
useless salaries. Council should adopt
the proposed ordinance.

win Elect One Assessor.

THE CHRONICLE was in error in its
statements in reference to the bill of
Senator Nichols. providing for the cleo
tioi. of an assessor in part of township
joined to pc ton of another township
to form a precinct. The law applies to
Glencoe precinct of Richland township
and we were under the impression that a
separate assessor would be chosen in that
precinct. The bill as we have it before
us in part reads: provided, that when
any precinct in any county is composed
of territory from two or more townships,
for the purpose of electing assessors,
such territory shall be considered as part
of the precinct adjacent thereto in the
township in which it is located" This
means that the precinct lying south OF
the National pike aud the Glencoe pre-
cinct will elect one assessor.

Fiye-pollar Counterfeit.

The new spurious five-dollar bill is be-
becoming dangerously conlnon. A bank
er thus describes it: The counterfeit is
evidently reproduction of the genuine
So government note of the series of 1890.
The registered numbers are all apparent
ly of the sd" series. The face of the bill
appears to be trifie shorter than the
face of the genuine engraved note. The
portrait of Jackson in the left-hand cor
ner is coarse, and under the magnifying
glass shows up very plainly its spurious
character. The letters in upper left
hand corner, "Printed at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing" are cleanly
and sharply cut in the genuine, but in
the counterfeit the lithographic process
leaves them rouy yh and irregular in the
center
The counterfeit is greasy to the touch,
and on holding it up to the light no
silk thread appearances is seen running
through the paper, as there is in the gen.
uine note The large red seal on some
of these bills is a dull brick red on the
counterfeit, but carmine on the genuine.

the old deed volumes at the Recorders
Office be accurately re-indexed. The in
dices as at present used are filled with
omissions and inaccuracies, and ii
will be great convenience to all having
occasion to use them if they are replaced
with new ones. The move will be an ad-
vantage to all property owners, as titles
could be more easily and quickly estab-
lished. Any one who has had any work
among these old volumes, knows that
the indices are very unsatisfactory, and
that In many cases deeds have not been
indexed at all, and in others incorrectly.
The petition is signed by every member
of the bar, and is accompanied by ur-
gent letters from a number of the prom
inent members. 1t ought to be granted

If the Farmers Institute which will
hold its sessions to-day Thursday and
tomorrow is favored with good weather
it will undoubtedly be a success. The
management have labored hard in its
interest, and have succeeded in sarrang-
ing program equal to any ever offered
the people of the county. The program
is varied and treats of every subject of
vital interest to the farmer, and also col :
lins enough spice to make it entertain
ing. The evening lectures which have
always been a feature of the Institute
will be delivered by Gen. Hurst afsd Prof.
Nelson, the former on Thursday evening
and the latter on Fridry evening. These
lectures will be entertaining to all,wheth-
er connected with the farm or not Every
one who misses even one session viii
miss much of value to himself
Our townspeople should turn out to
these sessions, and be stirred intellectu-
ally. They afford opportunities which
are not frequent here, and they ought to
be embraced.

SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
Richland Township Teachers Associ-
alton Meets
And Discusses Subjects of Interest to the
Profession Other Items of News
in Short Form

THE Richland Township Teachers
Association met in the school building
in this place on Saturday last. There
was a full attendance considering the
prevalence of sickness, and the meeting
was enthusiastic and thoroughly enjoyed
by all present.
In the forenoon W. ID. Porterfeld gave
an excellent talk on Grammar. The
points he brought out were thoroughly
discussed by several persons in interest
ing and entertaining arguments. In the
afternoon o. ii. Lucas read a paper on
the subject, Not How Much but How
Well" This effort displayed eoDsidera-
BILE thought and also elected hearty
discussion. E. W. DUNCAN also read a
paper, Random Shots From Rusty
Gun," which is described as very good.
He dealt principally with the subject of
spelling. and by means of pertinent illus
trations, brought out both the good and
bad features of the spelling book.
The visitors were entertained at din
ner by the local teachers at the home of
Miss Davies. JIG. Taggart, of Colerain, was
the only teacher from out of the town
ship present. Owing to the dissatisfac-
tion with the readers now used, a com
mittee consisting of W. ID. Porterfeld, p.
T. Anderson and Miss AIDA Ault, was
appointed to confer with the Township
Board of Education in reference to a
change. Thesubject matter of the pres
ent readers is stated to be entirely unfit
for the minds of children, and change
is desired as speedily as possible. The
Association adjourned to meet at Vine
yard Hill on February p.

A New Ordinance to Abolish Salaries The
Electric Light Question.
The regular session of Council was
held Monday night, five members being
present.
The committee appointed for the pur
pose reported blank form of contract
to be used in contracting to furnish light
and the contract was adopted. The

sumers of electricity to appear at once to
sign contract.
The Mayor and Clerk were instructed
to look after an Office room for the com.
ing year.
A number of bills were ordered paid
One of 500 for electrical supplies was
laid over.
Messrs. Troll, Kennon and Thompson

No Ventilation.

The sanitary condition of the Court
House is horrible. To any person going
into the building from the fresh air, the
stencil in some parts is almost unendura
BILE. The foul air from the closets per
meates the whole building, and as there
are no means of ventilation, the evil can
not be remedied except by doing away
entirely with all closets, aud then not
completely. The alleged architect who
got up the plans for the building and
made no provisions for ventilation,
ought to have a medal for his total
ignorance of the demands of health.

Alleged History,

The following alleged piece of history
is floating among our exchanges. which
is interesting if not correct:
When General st. Clair was Governor
of the territory, now Ohio, he was paid
by system of fees, which. grew into an
income that the Legislatl r. thought too
large for the duties performed. So at
one session they voted by one act to
abolish the fees and by another to pay
him salary. He approved the salary
act, but vetoed the one abolishing the
fees, and during the rest of the term
pocketed both salary and fees. For this
reason the veto power was omitted from
the State constitution.

from complication of diseases from
which she had suffered for some months.
She was an estimable, Christian woman,
a member of the Methodist church, and
widely celebrated for her deeds of charity.
Possessed of an abundance of this world S
goods, her hand was ever open to the
worthy poor. In the advancement of
the condition of the colored people she
took a great interest, and gave them aid
in many ways. Her good works were
attested by the sincere regret her deaf h
caused among the people who had ex-
perienced her beneficence. She was an
aunt of Howard Kirk, Esq, of this place
Her funeral occurred on Sunday

Invalid Marriages,

The Sidney Democrat discovers that
there are nearly 1909 Illegally married
people in that county, that is, people who
think they are married but who are not.
In these cases the minister's certificate
of marriage has never been returned to
the Probate Court. 1t has been repeat
edly and thoroughly well attested in the
courts that in every such case there is no
final invulnerable evidence that marriage
ever took place. The principal record is
absent. The law imposes fine of $50
ON ministers for failing to make the legal
return of certificate OF marriage within
three months.
