PAW PAW SAM


Samuel DoWdy, known throughout
Martins Ferry as Paw Paw SAM" had
a Christmas celebration after fashion
peculiarly his own. He was in town in
the evening, and drank rather freely.
His conviyical spirits were in an eff
fervescent state when he passed Gus
Miller's saloon, and he let off little
steam by hurting a large sized "dor-
nick" through a window.
Paw Paw was found by officers
Brown and Westwood about eleven
o'clock in the old Helling coal bank,
where he has been making his home.
He was about a half mile from the
mouth of the mine, sitting near fire.
His clothing was partly burned, and but
for the arrival of the officers he might
have burned to death.
Sam now languishes in the lookup,
and this morning will tell the mayor
all about 1t.

German M. E. church, on the South
Side, last evening, and was attended
by a large audience of the members
and their friends. An entertainment of
this nature is held annually by the

decorated and we'll lighted tree was ar
ranged for the occasion. The pro-
grarafne rendered during the evening
included piano solos by Chester john
son and Arch Metzner, vocal solo by

guitar music by Messrs. A. Pieper and
M. E. PEPPER. H. Weller, son of the
former pastor of the church, rendered

Book were especially commended for
their Rotations. The exercises of
the Sunday school were under the di-
rection of Albert Metzner, the superin-
tendent. The members of the school
received their annual treat.
The speaking of the evening was ex-
clusively in German, and it was a joy
to notice with what accuracy and true
accent Young America used this Ian
guage. One of the enjoyable features
of the evening was the repeated chorus
singing of sixty-three little children
two infant classes especially trained
for the occasion by their teachers, Mrs.
Carrie Frieber and Mrs. Rev. L. AL
linger.
A number of anthems, with solos
and Duets, were rendered by the choir,
adding much to the success of the pro-
gramme.
