Meeting of Napoleon Telephone
Company tOcklHeMerS.

At meeting of the stockholders of
the Napoleon Telephone Company
Saturday, January 10th, 1897, james
s. Bradley and E. L. Barber Of Wau-
seon, Ohio, and s.. M. Heller, F. d.
Prints and M. Donnelly, of Napole-
on, Ohio, were elected directors for
1897. The Board of Directors after
wards onganized by electing M. Don
nelly President and F. D. Prints
Secretary and Treasurer. The plant
being completed on the 18th day of
October, 1896, the company commenc-
ed business with less than 60 patrons,
now it has 81, being all that could be
taken on the present switch board.
The company has several more appll-
cations for phones which could not
be accommodated, so it was decided
to increase the size of the plant and
an additional 80 drop switch board
has been ordered and viii be put in
before the first of the month. The
company have been very anxious to
make it a first class plant in every
particular and none but the best OF
material has been used, and it feels
thankful for the patronage extend
ed. it by the citlzeAs OF Napoleon. On
the first day of February the full
capacity of the plant will be 100
phones. Those wishing to get one
will do we'll to send in their order
soon, as the additional 30 will all be
taken before that time. Whether it
will pay the company to go to the
great expense of increasing the plant
above the 150 is hardly probable.

Abraham Snyder was born i'm
Berkeley County, West Virginia, Feb.
5th, 1919, died Jan. 3rd, 1897, aged
~ years, 10 months and 28 days.
He came to Ohio In 1887 settling in
Sandusky county where he lived one
year, moving from there to Wash
ington township, Henry Co., o..
when he married Barbara Myrice
April 18th, 1856, and lived there un-
til 1860, when he moved to his late
residence In Damascus township. He
was taken seriously ill on the 21st

President Charles F. Thwing of
Western Reserve University, Cleve-
land, says:
The colleges are still maintaining
their prestige MS the best training
schools for the ministry. In the fifty
years in the middle of the present
century somewhat more than sixteen
thousand men graduated at the eight
principal colleges of New England,
of which number more than four
thousand became ministers. OF the
1926 graduates of Amherst College,
754 became ministers; of 1475 gradu-
ates of Bowdoin 307 became
ministers; of 3399 graduates of Har-
ward 1856 became ministers; of 1908
graduates of Dartmouth 554 became
ministers; of 1862 graduates of Mid
dlebury 367 became ministers; OF 6S2
graduates of the University of Ver-
ont 1877 became ministers; of 1893
graduates of Williams 533 became
ministers; of 4311 graduates of Yale
1O41 became ministers. Such a record
is full of meaning, 1t proves that a
larger number of the graduates of
these historic colleges entered the
ministry than any other calling. A
contribution of four thousand men,
made in half a century to a single
profession from eight colleges, repre-
sents an. increment of the highest
value.

visit last week. Mr.. Blue was in the

mother, on a shopping expedition,
and while here purchased largely of
our business houses. He says the
new railroad is a. great convenience
to citizens living in the southeastern
part of the county, as they can visit
the county seat at their convenience
now, whereas before the road was
built bad roads kept them from Ma

After Many Years.

We have been requested to publish
the following, cut from the Lena, ILL.,,
Star, telling of the meeting of two
old comrades after 80 years of separa-
tion.
Last Tuesday morning gentleman
stepped off the morning train and in
quired for Abe Houser. Mr.. Houser
was then feeding stock at the yards
and the gentleman was directed to
that place. The last we saw of him
he was reaching through the fence
shaking hands with Mr.. Houser.
Thereby hangs a tale. The gentle
men were comrades in Andersonville
prison 80 years ago and had not met
since. The strangers name is Com-
rade Dressback and during the war
he was q member of an Ohio regi-
ment. In company with another SOL
dier from his regiment, Bob Emery,
he was captured and sent to Ander-
sonville. Here the two and Abe
Houser of this city were mess mates,
they slept in the same hole in the
ground and gnawed the same bones.
They stayed together and were in
Andersonville, Savanna, Charleston
and Florence prisons. Messrs. Hous-
er and Dressback were sickly and
Bob Emery took care of them. 80
years ago when the inmates of Flor
ence were moved to Wilmington Mr..
Houser was left behind for dead and
the others were taken and sent north.
Four days after returning to the north
faithful Bob Emery died of contrac-
tion of the stomach, caused by star
walton. During the time spent in pris-
on Bob had been hale and hearty and
the hellhole did not seem to affect
him while his comrades became eIna'
ciated and needed his constant care
Immediately after the close of the
war Mr.. Dressback began systemat
ic search for his old comrade Housel
but never struck the right trail. Mr.
Houser belonged to the mounted in
fantgy and as their uniform and tao
tics were similar to that of the caval
Try Mr.. Dressback made inquiry
through the rosters only. In Apri
of this year G. F. Houser, the drug
gist, brother of Abe Houser, receiv
ed o. letter from Mr.. Dressback. stat
ing that he had seen his name I'M the
National Tribune as g. A. r. Pos
commander and inquired if he knew
of one christian Houser who hac
experienced Andersonville with him
self and Bob Emery. When Mr.
Houser read that part of the lettel
he knew Mr.. Dressback's long search
was ended as he had often heard hi
brother speak in glowing terms o
Bob. The answer went to the OhiC
man and on Tuesday he arrived here
as stated above. Who will say tina
