very satisfactory one. The outfits and
accoutrements of the men were in first
class shape and Capt. Domer express
ed himself as being much pleased with
the showing made by the company
Since the week of the funeral of the
president, fourteen recruits have been
added to the company roll. The new
men are young and have shown re-
marlable progress in mastering their
duties. The service of the company
in the late war has done much toward
its betterment from a military stand
point. The men have a more clearly
defined conception of what a soldier
should be. 1t will take time to bring
the company up to the standard Of
drill which it had reached previous to
the war, however, because of the fact
that so many of the men, who had been
in the National guard service and had
become accustomed to the drill have
dropped out and their places filled
with new and inexperienced men. Some
time before the end of the month the
annual inspection by an officer acting
for the state will take place. Major
A. B. Critchfeld of Shreve, will be the
inspecting officer this year and the
men will not receive orders as to when
the inspection will take place until one
day before it comes off. This is done
because the inspecting officer will thus
find out how long it will take the men
| to get in shape for duty.

This means that the Everett-Moore
syndicate has purchased the greater

has not been an outright one. but that
the N. o. T. people have purchased the
stock of the eastern capitalists who
own large majority of it, and that
they will proceed with the work of

Columbus, Oct. 1S.-Neither Stark nor
Columbiana counties was represented
at the second annual congress of the
Ohio Sunday School Field Workers as
sociation which was held in this city
yesterday. Distinguished speakers
were present and much enthusiasm
was manifested in the gathering. Rev.
]. A. Platts, of Mingo, Jefferson coun-
ty, the assistant secretary of the ai5so-
citation, unfolded a plan for extending
the work of the organization to every
county in the state, the practicability Of
which has been demonstrated by use
in Jefferson county. 1t commended it
self to the association and was adopted
for general use. Rev. Platt5 devised
the plan and finds that it augments
very materially the workings of tho
association. 1t makes possible moro
unifcation among county Sunday
schools, and under its operation these
bodies can be gathered together on
short notice. Next year it is propos-
ed to send out circuit speakers. and
under the plan mentioned matters will
be so systematized that the expense OF
the project can be kept down to al
most nominal proportions.
