RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas it has pleased the Supreme
Ruler OF the universe to send the death
angel to the home of our friend and
brother, Rev. J. f. Hash, and plucked
therefrom little Philip, the infant son
of Bro. Hash, and
Whereas the removal of little Philip
from this life, has cast shadow over
the house OF our brother, cloud OF
darkness and despair; and
Whereas, Bro Hash is one OF our
most tried and worthy members, be be-
ing man in whom we are delighted to
place confidence, feeling that the same
will never be betrayed, and he being
always ready and willing to offer to
those in distress soothing words of com
fort and cheer: therefore be it
Resolved that we endeavor TO point
out to Bro. Hash and his wife the kind
words OF coincidence, which he has so
often offered to others. BE 1t further
Resolved that we extend to them, in
this the darkest hour OF their lives
when life seems an almost unending
night, our tender sympathy. Be it
Further resolved that these resolu-
tons be made of record in the minute
book of this lodge and that they be
published in the SEQUAcHEE VALLEY
News and The Statesman Democrat and
that copy be presented TO Bro. Hash
and family.

The fine wheat crop this year is
largely the result of sowing wheat
after peas Many farmers are under
the impression that July is the last
month ior sowing peas but this is a
mistake. Stock peas sown any time
in August will get full growth in
time to be turned under in the tall
and will always insure a good wheat
crop next year.

when Williams attacked him and was
about to beat him with a club. officer
Lehnis was coming toward the men,

ded west to what Is now Marion street
and south to our present South street.
Not a single building Of any kind then
stood upon this large vacant space.
Since that time 1t has been brought
within the city limits, fine streets and
well paved sidewalks are now there, and
many pleasant homes on High street,
Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and South streets.
Along the west line Of this large field
was a long row of large wild cherry
trees and these afforded good shade
for large gatherings of people who an
unally had their military parades there.
The militia trainings or musteIs of
those days were as popular throughout
the county as are our agricultural fairs
of later days. I well remember seeing

the Y. M. c. A. building now stands
was the blacksmith shop Of Franci:

and in the same kind of building
was the tombstone shop Of John Pier

both were brothers of Mrs. Maline, thu

town. 1 think Mrs. Maline is yet living
but the two Pierongs have been deat
for many years. All were active citi

as then, it would have but little pat

those days were made Of sandstone
Marble was at that time hard to get.
Adjoining John Pierong's tombston

Conner Sweeney, an industry that ha
long since been abandoned in Canton
and other western towns. The larg
monopoly factories have used up all tn
smaller ones. Connor Sweeney lived Il

the shop on the east side and that tool

SURPRISE PARTY.
Mrs. Katherine BOsche Agree
ably Surprised At Her Cleve-
land Avenue Home.

A very delightful surprise party and
reception was rendered Mrs Katherine
Bosche, at her beautiful home, No. 723
South Cleveland aveune, Thursday
evening. Mrs. Bosche is president of
the Ladies' Catholic Beneficial associa-
ton No. 416, Of this city. and the men,
bers of the order, numbering about 80
persons, certainly surprised this popu-
lar lady. The visitors proceeded at
once to make themselves at home. and
some very interesting progressive pedro
games were INDUCED in, after an ad-
dress Of welcome was given by Mr..
Bosche. A fine collation., which was
thoroughly discussed, was served the
guests. Just before the conclusion of
the evenings entertainment, Mrs. Will
liam Delaney presented Mrs. Boesch,
in behalf Of the order, beautiful silver
tea set. 1t is needless to say that Mrs.
Boesch was surprised. However, she
quickly recovered her usual composure,
and responded in a pleasing manner.
1t was late when the participants re-
tired from the scene Of the evening q
pleasure.

one else was that he always kept both
eyes open. 1t is the rule for marksmen
to close one eye while the other Is
concentrated on the sight Of the gun.
It has been claimed for him that he
killed more deer in his time than any
other man in the county. Ny father,
Jacob Danner, A. A. Shorb, DIR. Brei-
sacker, and others or those days were
also good hunters, but / think all ac-
knowledged that Philip Danner was in
the lead as a good marksman and kill
ing the most deer.
The block of lots where the Presbyte-
rian church now stands was vacant for
many years; finally the walls Of the
old brick Presbyterian church were put
up on the same site where their pres
ent massive stone house of worship now
stands, but they were only able to
put up the walls and get 1t under
roof and then the house was left to
stand in an unfinished condition for a
number of years. In this condition 1t
naturally became a playhouse for us
children and very often a shelter for
sheep and cattle that in those times
were quite freely given the right of
grazing wherever they could find pas
ture.
Our games and sources of amusement
may have been crude, but we enjoyed
them One of them was to play AN
thonyover," with an ordinary ball, the
boys would divide off, one set taking the
west side of the house and the other the
east, and then throwing the ball over
the house to be caught by the boys on
the opposite side, crying as they threw
he hon NJ an1 ~ fhaV
caught the ball then they scored one,
and thus back and forward the ball
was kept going over the old church
building. There was no glass In the win
| dows, simply the open window frames.
Had there been glass, every light would
have been broken to pieces. We also
took great delight in piling up the logs
that lay around on the lot, intended for
pillars, and appropriate joists and other
| timbers and lay across the logs and have
| good time at see-saw. A game much
| used in those days by young men and
| teachers (no women teachers them was
that of pitching 'Iong bullets. These
were solid brass balls about the size of
an ordinary billiard ball. My father cast
| a number of them. These balls were
given two to man and the opposing
parties divided off in the same manner
that would be done to pitch horseshoes.
and the party that could drive the other
farthest away from the starting point
or base was the winner. This was ex-
cellent exercise and quite popular al
one time. Barrick Kitchener, one OF
the most popular teachers of those
times, was quite fond Of this exercise
and was quite an expert in pitching the
balls or long bullets as they were
called. ........

and Wells street we entered upon a
large ten-acre field known for many
years as the "Stidger field" 1t extern

The next morning at breakfast he de-
lighted his mother by his admissions of

expressed himself anxious to carry out
her wishes, and hoped that they, too,

Mother and son sat speechless, staring
at each other. Bernard broke the
silence.
"Then where on earth did I go last

"She must be mad" cried his mother.
"You say you met Etiennette Was she

Decidedly not She was small and

"Oh, my goodness!" gasped madam
"You got into the wrong house."
"Evidently." replied Bernard. INC
