ABSOLUTELY PURE
Hon. j. F. Meyers Surprised.

On the evening of the Sd inst, the
wife of Hon. j. f. Meyers, having
conceived the idea of giving her hus-
band a surprise on the occasion of
his 42d birthday anniversary, pro-
ceeded to notify relatives and neigh
bors of her intention. So on the
evening of said date, the barnyard
gate being ajar, bidding strangers to
enter, the rush of buggies and
trampling of feet attracted the
attention of Mr.. Meyers, who, on
rushing to the yard was surprised
and was not slow to enquire what
all this meant. He was reminded that
he was AZ years old, then he was
not slow to take in the situation
and acknowledge that he was in
deed surprised.
After bidding all welcome and
congratulations were over with, the
good women proceeded to unload
their buggies of their weight, when
the march to the house was taken
up, and on reaching it the things
prepared for the inner man were duly
deposited. The company numbered
between so and go, all happy and full
of fun. After supper the evening
was spent in music and social chat
until a late hour, when some notified
the crowd that the moon refused to
look upon the scene and yelled its
face in darkness. But it only lasted
for short time, indicating that Mr..
Meyers political star is now dim but
soon will break forth in renewed
splendor. IL.

Henry Co. s. s. Association.

The seventh session of the Henry
County 8. s. Association was held in
this city on Monday and Tuesday.
The attendance was fairly good, dele
gates being present from all sections
of the county.
Prof. A. L. Slough conducted the
song service, which was complete
success. The lectures of Marion
Lawrence, of Toledo, were largely at
tended, and highly appreciated. AS
Sabbath School worker Mr.. L. has
no superior.
Miss Lulu Coover delivered the ad-
dress of welcome, in neat and pleas
ant manner, she being highly compli-
mented upon her effort. Mrs. Frank
Coe, also, did honor to the occasion
in her report from the State Conven-
tion.
We are not advised as to the whole
of the program, but understand the
two days session was enjoyed by the
delegates and Sabbath school work
ers generally, the meeting being one
of the best ever held in the county.
Perhaps the Secretary will give us q
full report of the session for our next
issue.
The old officers were re elected for
the ensuing year, but one change be-
ing made, the substitution of the
name of Mr.. E. s. Lingle, of Ridge
vile, for that of G. Il. REYNOLDS, as a
member of the executive committee.

The OHIO HUNTER CALLED TO HIS
LONG HOME.
Old Age Cuts OF an EventfuI Ca
reer of a Noted Character.

Samuel Edwards, the 'Ohio Hunt
er," passed peacefully from this earth
to his long rest at his home in Ed
wardsville, this county, on Monday
evening of last week. But few days
before his death Mr.. Edwards was in
Napoleon and spoke from the court
house steps.
He was the father of Mr.. T. J. Ed
wards, a prominent business man of
Deshler, and was one of the oldest
citizens in this part of Ohio and is
known all over the state as the pio-
neer hunter He located in this coun-
ty when the red men and wild ami
mails were almost as plentiful as the
trees in the forest.
Mr.. Edwards was born in Arm
strong county, Penn, March 22nd,
1910. Iu 1912 his parents moved to
Washington county, Ohio, and he
has been a resident of this state ever
since.
Mr.. Edwards was the father of six
teen children, eight by his first wife
and eight by the present wife, four
teen of whom are still living.
His funeral took place yesterday,
being preached at the Advent church,
in Halnler, by Rev. Linsey, and his
remains inferred in the cemetery
twelve miles north of Hamler, follow
ed by a large and sympathetic gath.
ering of friends and relatives.
In 1866 he published book entitled
the "Ohio Hunter" which recites his
career and incidents of pioneer life
in an interesting manner. He sold
the books throughout the state an6
hundreds of households contain the
volume.

A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our con
sideration it's own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds many
reduced in strength and vigor, poorly
prepared to continue the business of
life. The stomach and bowels, the
great highway of animal economy, is
especially liable todisorder in the fall.
The nervous system has also suffered
in the struggle. Typhoid fever and
malaria in particular find in the fall
that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as espec-
tally dangerous. The falling leaves,
the decaying vegetables contribute
their share of contamination. Hoods
Sarsaparilla furnishes a most valu-
able safeguard at these important
points, and should be used in the fall
before serious sickness has laid you
low,

A Success.

Prof. Little made one of the finest
balloon ascensions on Friday last at
the fair ever seen in this vicinity. 1t
was grand sight and was witnessed
by thousands of people, but had he
made an ascension on Thursday as
advertised his crowd would have
been much larger on Friday, as many
went away disappointed ON Thursday
and spread the report that the bal
loon ascension was a fake, thereby
keeping hundreds of people away
from the fair-on Friday. The Prof.
gave the wind as an excuse for not
making an ascension on Thursday.
But many drew their own conclu-
sions,t the result being an injury to
the fair.

he was found to be seriously bruised
and to have sustained severe injuries.
AS soon as possible he was removed
to his home where he is now slowly
recovering.
Mr.. Hammer is an exemplary young
