The scholars of our Academy met
the scholars of Franklin High School
in debate last Thursday night at the
latter's school building and had, as
our informant says, an interesting
time, a splendid debate, and came
home with flying colors, but without
the decision, one each way is equal.
Joseph Creager, pioneer of this
township, and the last of the family
of Thomas Creager, died last night
from uremic trouble. Funeral at the
family residence Wednesday forenoon,
burial in cemetery at this place. Mr..
Creager lived beyond the three score
years and ten.
Rev. Fulkerson lost valuable
horse last week from lung fever, thus
being deprived of the means to do his
pastoral work, but from what his peo-
pie are doing another horse will take
the place without cost to the pastor,
showing the esteem in which he is
held.
Our M. E. Sunday school will du-
y celebrate Easter day with an ap-
propriate program. Let the effort be
duly encouraged.
Our young people, known as the
Queen Esther Circle, will give an
Easter social in the Armory hall on
Saturday evening before Easter. A
mong other things will have the real
rabbit eggs in many colors to delight
the fancy and wants of the children.
Let this be liberally patronized and
encouraged.
April came in quite vigorous in the
temperature of the weather. March
furnished us no lower temperature at
any time than did the third day of
this month. What effect this may
have ON the prospective fruit crop is
hard to tell, but if not frozen there
will be an abundant crop of bloom.
Mrs. Lulu Hoffman of Fremont is
here visiting her parents for couple
Of weeks.
Glen Stoltz and his sister Mabel,
students at the O. S. u, are at home
spending vacation.
Adams Township Sunday School
Association held convention yester-
day afternoon in our Presbyterian
church and rendered a very interest
ing and instructive program. The
subjects discussed were Responsibility
and Preparation. Editor Little Of
Bradford presented the former, and
Prof. j. H. Browder the latter. Both
brought out matter worthy the con-
sideration or every person. That
there is grave responsibility resting
upon all is without question and de-
mands the most earnest heed. But
that responsibility can not be met and
duly discharged without sufficient
preparation is patent to all thinking
and observing persons. Let Sunday
school workers rise equal to the re-
quirements, but while they do SO to a
large measure, as is commensurate
with opportunity and ability, let the
scholars rise equal to their duty and
thus discharge the obligation resting
upon them, and when all shall so
work together then results will be &C.
complished that will put to shame the
pessimistic. Let there be a general
awakening in this work.
Mrs. Edith Hoover of Cincinnati
is here visiting her fathers family for
Il few days.
1t seems our neighboring village of
Bradford is about to make the second
venture in banking. The more the
merrier, and whether it will be q sue
cess remains to be seen.
