The recent Musical Convention conducted
by Prof. S. S. Myers, of Cleveland, has had
the effect of revivifying the local sentiment,
somewhat dormant of late years, for better
and higher local attainments and the devel-
opment of a more general knowledge OF
voice melody throughout the community.
The Professor certainly found an abundance
of excellent and responsive material to work
with, and frequently referred to the fact in
appreciative tribute to the musical capabili-
ties of the town. The concert which was
prepared for public rendition by less than
two weeks of training, bore ample testimony
to rich possibilities for the future. Who of
our citizens does not remember with enthu-
siasm the days of the Philharmonic Society,
and regret the apathy and general inertia
responsible for its permanent discontinue
ance? And who would not rejoice in the
establishment of similar society in our
community? If the visit OF Prof. Myers
shall have the effect of bringing about so
desirable consummation, the good fortune
that brought him here would be a theme Of
cOngratulatiOn. But whether this shall be
realized or not, the revival of interest among
our singers, and the general knowledge of
vocal music impaired to the public, will GER
tainly be potent factors in permanently ele-
waiting the standard of the art. The value
of such development as bearing on general
culture and refinement of aspiration, is an
important considerations that will not, we
are sure, be underrated. 1t would profit
every community to receive visit from a
Prof. Myers.

GROCERIES he drove about town in aimless
wanderings,an and at the last, directed his horsa
to the rear of Grace Episcopal Church. where
he h1tched the animal to tree, and returned
TO town. Continuing his alcoholic quafings,

an easy subject for the hospitality of Sheriff
Hart. On being arrested, he was asked bv
the officer what he had done with his horse
and IN reply, gave the policeman to under

the animal was in barn. This was all that
could be gotten out of him on the subject

the wretched beast. Smith had fastened the
horse with the lines.
1t is said that the animal was in q s;ctr,x
condition at the time the heartless inebriats
abandoned it to its fate.
Smith was taken before Mayor Cole the
next afternoon, and seeing nothing else to
do, plead guilty to charge of cruelty to an
animal. and was thereupon promptly and
justly sentenced to pay fine of $1OO and the
costs, and to serve term of go days in the
Workhouse-to stand committed until ths

Death of Sally Anderson.

Aunt Sally Anderson" died Monday night, at
10 o'clock, at her home in the south part of the
village, after distressing sickness of pneumo-
mia, extending over period of three weeks, aged
II years. Her funeral was held today, at o'clock
from the home, Rev. Andrew Wilson officiating.
The deceased was born on the Lewis Jennings
farm in Ravenna, January 25, 1S18 Her entire
life was spent in Portage Co., her home being in
Ravenna, Kent and Rootstown, at different
times. The family of brothers and sisters con-
sisted of James, Benjamin, Matthias, Arthur.
Jane, Sally and Martha, of whom the last named
is the only survivor, her home being in Chicago
Aunt Sally Anderson was a good woman.
Wherever she was known she was loved and af-
fectionately remembered by all whose privilege
it had ever been to look into her kindly face.
Her life was shadowed by the sorrows and hard
ships of tribulation and misfortune, but through
all she possessed her soul in patience and
meekly endured whatever came to her lot. The
memory of her life of usefulness and gentleness
will endure in abiding influence.
