CHURCH TO CELEBRATE ITS
CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY
SPECIAL SERVICES ARRANGED
SUBJECTS FOR SABBATH DIS
COURSES BY THE DIFFERENT
PASTORS ~ OTHER RELIGIOUS
NEWS.

On Wednesday Of this week the
Presbyterian Congregation at M.
Pleasant, o., will celebrate the centen-
NAL of the church, which was organ
lied August 81, 1898. when the neigh
borhood was largely wilderness, and
there was small settlement at that
point. The first pastor was the Rev.
Joseph Anderson, who was the first
minister ordained west of the Allie
ghenies. He was pastor fer thirty
years, and was succeeded by the Rev.
Benz. Mitchell, who had charge of the
congregation for forty years. The next
pastor was the Rev. Mr. Pringle, who
was succeeded by the present pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Brown. The st. Glars
vile Presbyterian church, which cele-
brated its one hundredth anniversary
in June, is the oldest of that denomi-
nation in this section of the country.
The growth of the Mt Pleasant church
was commensurate with the growth in
population, and 1t is now one of the
most influential churches in Eastern
Ohio.
Of the children baptised by the Rev.
Mr. Anderson, first pastor of the
church, but two are now living. They
are Hamilton Blackboard, of Martins
Ferry, and Mr.. Greenlee, of Farming
ton, Belmont county. o.
The centennial celebration which has
been arranged by the Nj. Pleasant
congregation, will begin in the morn
ing, and continue all day. Former pas
tors and elders will make addresses, and
big dinner will be served to all the
visitors. A history of the congrega-
ton and the church, is being publish
ed in pamphlet form, and will be dis
tributed at the celebration next We'd

There was practically nothing new.

to the county assessors. The first case
will come up before Justices Haber1eid

city have been retained by tEs defend
ants and that there is something OF
hot time ahead, from a legal point

Reporters attempted to interview the

reluctant to give information fc-' pub

in the cases.
A very prc.a'nent membe- of he
;,r, whose Fl. m has been Te,alned by
one or more Of the defen Iants. stated
yesterday he did not imagine the cases
would stick, and gave his reasons
therefore; one being that if there was
any infraction of the law the proper
way to bring case would be by indict-
ment in the name Of the State of West
Virginia. He did not think a Justice
of the Peace had Jurisdiction or that
civil suit was the way to get at the
matter. A prominent defendant stated
that he would require bond as secur-
ity for costs and appeal the case i'm

The outcome of the case vii, be
watched with more interest than any
