Meeting OF The Work.
ingmen's Building And
Loan Association

The Workingmen's Building
and Loan Association held it's
annual meeting at the council
room last night.
Many of the Stock holders
were present in person, and a
majority of the stock was rep.
resented.
The Secretary and Treasurer
submitted thei.' annual reports,
and the auditing committee
made report showing that the
accounts had been examined
and found correct and proper
balances on hand.
The election of officers result
ted in electing the following:
j. D. Brown as Pre- sident, j. N.
Tamisiea as Vicepresident, j. S.
Dewell as Secretary, ]. S. Nc
Gavren as Treasurer, T. Foss,
M. O'Conner and ]. G. Schulz
meister were elected trustees
for the term of three years,
the bylaws requiring that
there be nine directors, three
of whom retire each year, thus
always leaving majority of the
directors with at least one or
two years experience.
The general conditions of the
association were discussed, and
while the panic Of last year and
the resulting hard times had a
tendency to deter people from
taking stock in the association,
yet by conservative action of
the directors the securities are
found in first class con-
dition and on the whole a very
slight diminution in the gener-
al volume of business.
The stockholders seem fully
satisfied and the officers and
directors hope with a revival of
business as now seems probable
the volume of business of the
association will be greatly in
creased during the coming
year, and many parties will
learn it is to their advantage to
invest at least a part of their
earnings in the association. It
would:be Of advantage to every
citizen, not fully understanding
the method of operation and

A Small Blaze

About 2::30 this afternoon
the fire department was called
to the local depot where they
found the old car used for
boiler house, on fire. The
blaze had a good start before
the department reached the
yards, but a stream was soon
turned on and the fire put out.
The boys had to couple to the
hydrant opposite the Miller
Hotel and carry the hose
through and under some of the
freight cars in the yards.

Geo. K. Bru..dige Is No More

Although the death of George
K. Brundige had been antici.
pated since the first days of his
late illness, by his many friends,
yet when the hour Of dissolu-
ton came. the announcement
cast a gloom of sadness over
the entire community. His
last illness dates from the week
before Christmas when he took
down with a heavy cold, follow
ed Immediately by a multitude
of complications that defied
medical skill, careful nursing
and all else that kind and low
ing hand could do. He grew
steadily worse from the start
until the break of day Wednes-
day morning when as the great
orb in the heavens dispels the
night and brings forth a new
light, so did the soul of George
K. Brundige shake off the pain
full tabernacle of clay and break
forth into the bright realms of
a new life.
George K. was born to Uriah
and Elizabeth Brundige, near
Roam, in Wabash county, Au-
gust II, 1859. He was one of
four sons and four daughters
in that family, one son, John,
and three sisters of this large
family yet survive him. He
came to Akron in February
1856, and entered the employ
OF his live long friends, the
Patterson Bros, then engaged
in the hardware business. On
August 26, of the same year he
was happily united in marriage
with Ina May, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Whittenberger's young
est daughter. To this union
one child, Harry was born. Al
though the hand Of ;ffliction
had laid it's stern hand on the
young father, yet this bright
little son came into his life as
an uplift. For about seven
years the hight of Harry's life
shone and hid from sight the
Universities of the young couple.
But decree came and the an
gel Of death claimed little
Harry. 1t was a crushing blow
to the young parents and we
dare say the father never fully
recovered from this sorrow.
At the time of his death
George Brundige was aged 49
years, 4 months and 19 days.

In mentioning the lack of
hitching posts the other day,
we should have said some
thing about those that are now
in position. In several places
the ground has been graded up
along the posts, leaving the
chains so low that the horses
very frequently get their feet
and legs over them, and injury
to the animals is likely to re-
suit.

D. p Brainard, county sup
erintendent of schools, hassent
out a pamphlet regarding the
observance of the one hundreth
anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln, which will
occur on February 18th. Some
Of his recommendations for
this occasion, are as follows:
l. Prepare a patriotic pre-
gram in which all the pupils
take part. Let this consist of
patriotic songs, flag drills, es-
says and recitations with Lin
coin as the central theme. Have
one of the large pupils commit
and recite Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address and have all learn and
give some quotation from Lin
coin. Suitable selections may
be found in the Special Day
Pamphlet which is already in
your possession. If you find
that you haven't a copy of this
pamphlet, drop a card to this
office and one will be sent to
you. Suitable material will also
be found in your school journals.
2. Make this an exhibit day
day of the pupils work. From
now until that day, gather from
the regular work of the school
the best maps, drawings, COM
positions, work in arithmetic
and industrial work of llkinds
that the pupils do in the course
of their daily work. See that
every pupils work is we'll rep
resented. This work may be
done on the specimen paper
which has already been sent
you. Place it upon the wall
where it can he inspected by
parents and others.
3. About one week before the
program is to be given, have
the pupils in their writing per-
iod prepare neat and attractive
invitations to be taken home
and handed their parents. In
vite the parents to come in the
morning, if it is possible for
them to do SO, that they may
observe the regular work of
the school in the forenoon. The
time from noon until recess
may be spent in inspecting the
work which you have exhibited
on the wall. Following this
will be the program which has
been prepared.
We believe his idea is a good
one and hope the schools of our
city will prepare a program and
invite in the citizens of the
town.

announces the death, within
thirty-six hours of each other,

Not long since, by the court
esy of his host, the writer Twas
privileged to enjoy a couple of
hours in listening to the unique
entertainment furnished by DR..
Gunsaulus and his Central
Church Choir.
The doctor lectures awhile
then he calls upon the quartet
to render a song to illustrate
his point. 1t was wonderful,
elevating analysis of the sub
ject and it struck the writer
that If our Chautauqua Direct
ors could secure some such lect-
ure and "cut out" such shrews
and boomerang and big stick
throwers as Carrie Nation, who
do no good, neither mentally
nor morally, it would be a move
in the right direction. The
only reason the directors here
ever advanced for engaging
Carrie" is that she will
draw. For what, in all con-
science, is a Chautauqua organ
lied? A Nelson-G Cans moving
picture might do the same, or a
bull fight, but, would it be in
harmony with the original ideas
of DR.. Vincent when he started
