peared in it that an administrator had
an order to sell a lot. l instructed
my friend to bid ON it for me and run
it up to $50. He bid it off for $37 and
a month later l sold it for 300, MAX

My father once told me that when he
was young man he saw a notice in
a paper that school teacher was
wanted away off in far country and
he went there and got the situation.
A certain little girl was sent to school,
In time she grew up, sweet and pretty,

The Beatty Case.

The case of the State against j. w.
Beatty has been taken before the Su-
preme Court. The court will consid-
err the application and announce it's
decision before long. Pending the
decision Beatty has been respited by
Governor White. He is under sen
tence of death at Moundsville for
killing his brother-in-law, David
Nine, the murder occurring over in
Preston county more than year
ago, and the particulars of which will
be well remembered by our readers.
While Beatty is under sentence of
death, it is the general opinion that
he will never hang. A largely signed
petition was sent in to the Governor
praying that Beatty's sentence be
committed to life imprisonment. The
Governor. however, and also the par
don board, refused to interfere, and
as a last resort the case was taken be-
fore the Supreme Court on techni-
cality, and the plea to entertain a
motion for a new trial was granted.
The plea will be heard shortly in the
Supreme Court.

In Friendship. Love and Truth
We gather round this social board;
Here greeting manhood, age and youth
All joined in one accord.
In earth's remOtest bound
Fen arctic's SNOW or tropics heat
Where e'er Gods love with man is found
These kindly brethren meet.
Their orders cornerstone
More lasting is than earth OF sky;
'Tis built upon Gods love alone.
And that will never die.
Behind guarded door
They hide work of good to man;
Thus hidden that it may the more
Conform to Jesus plan.
These mystic links of love
Enchain their hearts together fast,
And help them to a home above
When life and duty's past.
When in Gods wise decree
Their duty's done-when He doth call
May he confer their last degree
And bless, one and all.
The committee on arrangements
were Rev. d. r. Wagner, H. N. Cup
petit. George p. White, G. D. Reckley

sweet music, one of their members
singing two selections in fine style.
Tom Helfron and his crutch were ac-
corded welcome. Perhaps the fea-

Goodwin who were accorded an ova-
tion for their clever work. They are
thorough artists. The show is good

During the fireworks exhibition in
Blerce park Monday evening horse
became frightened and dashed into
"A crowd of spectators, who were stand
ing in the alley just east of the post
office building. There was u wild
scatterment but after the excitement
1t was found that but one person had
been injured. He was small boy over
whose leg the buggy has passed. In the
thick of the crowd was a woman, with
II baby in a go-cart. In the wild rush
Of the people to get out of the way
of the horse, the go-cart was upset and
for short time the infant was lost
and the mother WAS almost crazed.
The baby was found later lying on the
pavement, unhurt and smiling.

Clerk HersheyFor
Governor,
And Presented Him a
Fine Apple.
But There Was Also An Apple
For Gov Nash.

The farmers picnic at Silver lake
Saturday was one of the most success
full ever held by the association. 1t
is estimated that there were 10000
people in attendance.
The program of the day was to have
a good time, and it was carried out in
every detail. The only speech of the
day was delivered by Gov. Nash.
1t was short, occupying only about 10
minutes, and was entirely free of pol
her past future and present. With the
Governor was Gen. Chas. Dick, and
they spent the day walking through the
park, shaking hands with acquaintan-
ces and making new friends. Both
were given very cordial receptions,
and they seemed to be having fine
times. A launch ride ON the lake was
one of the features in their honor.
The Governor, in his speech, re-
ferred to the wonderful growth or Ohio
to her present population of 4,00O,O00.
In concluding his remarks, he express
ed the hope that Ohioans would al
ways remember that even though they
may love their state dearly, it is their
duty to love the republic more.
During the afternoon, Gov. Nash
was presented one of the largest ap-
pies ever grown in Norton township.
1t was presented by Mr.. McCarty, who
also gave County Clerk Hershey a
fine apple. Mr.. Hershey's apple was
really larger than the one given Gov.
Nash, but it was not as smooth and
mellow. There was a story in circu-
lation to the effect that Mr.. McCarty
had at first mistaken Mr.. Hershey for
the Governor, but as both OF the apples
were very fine, there was no cause for
| jealousy.
Officers were not elected this year
by the Farmers Picnic association.
Present officers are Hon. G. o. Hale,
of Ira, president; G. n. Gaylord, Mum
roe Falls, vice president; Perry G
Ewart, Krumory, treasurer; Maurice
Bettes Cuyahoga Falls, secretary.
