address, is reputed to be fine and
brilliant speaker, and consluering the
interest he has taken in the reunion,
his address will probably be an enter
tanning one.
Another man of prominence but one
of whose oratory little is known,
is Judge f. w. Cunningham OF EN-
poria, Kansas, brother of Judge Cum
ningham, of Urbana. His address
will be upon the same line as his pre-
decessors; pioneer life in Clarksiield.
Among others who will take part in
the exercises either today or tomor
row will be A. j. Blackman, who is
president of the reunion association;
DR.. +. Z. Weeks, who has been largely
instrumental in the success of the un-
dertaking; Miss Annie c. Estill, of
Mansfield, o.; +. =. Percy of Cannons-
burg, o., and Aaron Rowland, the lat
ter was singer or repute in earlier
days and viii reproduce some OF the
pioneer songs.
Convcyances have been arrange. fer
and visitors, who reach West Clarks-
field on early trains, will find ready
conveyances for their accommodation,
which will take them to the 'Hollow"
in few minutes. The Norwalk dele
CATION however, which will go down on
special train, viii be taken to the
crossing, just south of the village, and
allowed to alight not far from the
grounds where the exercises will oc-
cur.
All teams, that are driven in from
the surrounding country, will be taken
care of by committee appointed for
that purpose.
One of the spots of interest will be
the town nall, directly across the street
from the speakers stand. This build
ing will be for the time being used as
cui'io hail. ana will be in charge of
AleSander Justice and D. b. Smith,
both of whom are interested in the ar
ticles over which they will preside. Mr..
Smith is the owner of a large collec-
tion of curios and Mr.. Justice devotes
almost his whole time to the collection
of antique relics. Both gentlemen will
have their entire collections on eXhibi-
tion. In addition. almost every re-
turning visitor, is bringing some OBJ
iect, which has value in connection
with the early history of the township.
Perhaps the most valuable is the
early township reports, compiled by
those who settled and originated the
town. Clothing worn in childhood
by men and women, who if living,
would be centeniarians. One curious
relic is an old wooden plow used in the
primeval days. An OK cart of prima
tive origin, but the history of which
is unknown. The cart in question be-
longs to HoXsie Vincent and is so old
that he cannot tell from whence it
came, or to whom it belonged.
Warming pans. in which a handful
of Goals were put and the implement
passed between the blankets to warm
the bed on coal winter night.
Spinning wheels and articles of like
character. Relics of the wars of 1912
and 1861 with an occasional remem-
brance of the Revolutionary times. A
bed wrench made from wood from
the ox cart in which Captain Hustled,
the first settler came into the town
ship. 4 collection of coins and other
articles to numerous to mention.
The hall is so arranged as to give
easy access and SSrcSs to visitors and
no confusion need ensue in making q
proper inspection of the exhibit. A
picture gallery, consa'ny of the por-
traits of all the EARLIER settlers, will
be feature of the exhibition.
1t is estimated thai about 100 yisi-
tors from far away, have arrived dur
ing the past week and are quartered
among families of their acquaintances
in d'tlereut parts Of the township.
Others from Cleveland. Toledo, ana
this city will arriva during the morn
ing and the attendance will probably
be in the neighborhood of 1000.
The anniversary exercises will con.
tinue during tomorrow Thursday
but will be of miscellaneous chlrac-
ter. The morning hours will ne de-
voted entirely to visiting and in the
afternoon a program will be present
ed, at the school building. This pre-
gram will be announced from the
} speakers stand today.
