The most of our people attended
the Decoration at So. Bloomingville,
and all report good time. The
speakers In attendance were Messrs.
Harry Sparnon, of Logan, John
Stoughton, of Rockbridge, Frank
Redfern, of Adelphi, and Rev. Moody,
of Eagle Mills. The speeches were
all good and were listened attentively
by large and orderly crowd, Strew-
ing the flowers ON the graves of our
dead heroes and friends seemed TO be
impressive to all present. BY strew-
ing flowers on the graves OF our
heroes shows the love that we have
for them, that they still linger In our
memories and In our hearts; they will
live forever. And though the spirit
of our friends have long since return
ed to the God who gave them, we still
think of those dear ones whom we
once caressed, and whom our bosom
held dear. We sometimes imagine
that our friends that have departed
are with us again, sometimes In the
silent watches of the night, while
we are In dreamland and our minds
are free from care. 1T Is then that
we imagine that our departed friends
are with us again. We can see them
as of yore. We can Imagine that they
are wispering words of peace and
consolation to us. That they are
here on mission of love and are
especially concerned In our eterna
welfare. Can we then at least once
year drop beautiful flower on the
graves of our loves ones. 1t won't bs
long until we too will sleep In tht
narrow limits of the grave. AS W,
pass through our cemeteries W.
imagine that we hear our friends sa,
to us, "As you are now, 50 once wa
l, as l am now SO you shall be; pre-
pare for death and follow me-" w

cornered holes and swimming
holes, any depth and size required.

January, purchased the plant at a
receivers sale and paid for 1t.
Since the purchase 1t has developed
that numerous small claims, ag-
grating more than $1,000, were
still unsatisfed. These Claims
the company have assumed, for no
other purpose than to maintain
the integrity of the mill, and as
fast as the claimants desire or
need these assumed obligations
are l!auidated. The "honest mil
| ler" in this case ia not dream
but an actual fact. Thomas
Stevens is a man among men, u
social, pleasant gentleman, q just
man, and his assumption, without
warrant of law, of these TO him
honest claims, marks him man
among men and man to be trust
ed. He has the complete CONT
dence and good will of the COM
munity. May he live long and
prosper.
f. E. Chilcote, 90 we'll and fa-
vorably known to almost every
business man in Hooking county,
is running, and running right, a
first class general store. He ham
dies only the stock that pleases,
the kind that satisfy and at the
prices that moves the goods end
circulates the dollar. Any thing
in the dry goods or grocery line,
required by the country round,
can be found in his store and on
his shelyes. He buys all kinds of
country produce, ties, posts, tele-
phone poles, and pays the top
notch price in trade or cash. Els
Chilcote is one of the leading and
representative citizens Of Benton
township, always to the front in
pushing any business enterprise
that will have tendency to bet
ter the conditions of affairs in the
community, generous to a fault
and honest to penny, and his
more than generous trade is an
evidence conclusive of the high
esteem of his neighbors. He is a
worthy citizen.
S. r. Mattox, the "jolly black
smith," is another of the very de-
sirable citizens. The continuous
and merry ring of the hammer on
the anvil is in complete harmony
with his jolly disposition. His
song and his work are alike pleas
ing, and his prices the delightful
cadence that precludes and induces
a trio of new customers. Wood

laugh and the kicking mule gentle

to buy his wife a new dress. You

you) in effort to do justice to the
pleasant and enterprising little
village of South Bloomingville in
giving iustifiable mention of its
business enterprises, / say:
South Bloomingville is the ship
ming end of the Columbus g. South
ern railroad. There is probably
more telephone poles, railroad
ties, fence posts and lumber
shipped from this place than from
an other point in Ohio. The lum-
ber shipping, especially, is an i'm
mense industry, and it is not an
unusual thing to see dozen or
more wagons waiting their turn
to get into the yards. There are
two or three companies saving In
this neighborhood and shipping
from this point. Load after load
Of ties, posts and telephone poles
are shipped from this point.
Bloomingville has one church,
Methodist, with membership of
about so. They have preaching
every third Sunday and Sunday
school every Sabbath. The Sun
day school, under the supervision
of Thomas Stevens, is largely and
regularly attended. In the alb
sence of regular Sunday services
the several classes hold prayer
meetings. Rev. Clark is the min
lister in charge and is said to be a
very able, fluent and convincing
speaker. They have very hand

man. Besides complete stock of
drugs and medicines he handles
