PASSING OF PIONEER LADY.

Mrs. Rachel Eliza Simmons died
Friday morning at i:SO at the home
of her son, John Simmons, near Has

a girl of seventeen she removed to
Seneca county and short time later
became resident of Wood county.
Here she changed her name from
Rachel Bounds to that of Mrs. John
Simmons on October 9Th, 1851, and
the happy couple travelled life's road
together for almost fifty years, he
dying nine years ago September

dren, FIVE of whom are living.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
And its Dangers Pointed Out by Fire
Chief.

Care must be taken even in this
innocent delight Of the children's
hearts. The usual decorations of the
tree require care and watching all
the time that the tree is illuminated.
Do not use cotton batting for the
purpose of procuring snow effect.
There is substance called mineral
wool" (made of asbestos) which
which gives a better effect and will
not burn. Do not use cotton batting,
tissue paper or celluloid ornaments
on tree. Place the gifts beneath
the tree instead of suspending them
from the branches. See that no
draught of air reaches the tree to
sway it's branches while it is illumi-
mated. Extinguish all lights on the
tree before attempting to distribute
gifts, this especially if any are sus-
pended from the branches. Never
leave the tree unmatched while il
Illuminated and make certain that all
lights are thoroughly extinguished
before you leave it. Have sheet
metal (tin or zinc) beneath every
tree to catch drippings from the can
dies or possible burning material.
And finally, as has frequently been
suggester heretofore, "Be Careful"
Christmas dangers are all avoid
able, and carelessness has no excuse,
especially where the lives of chill
dren might be endangered. This is
their day and they should be enabled
to enjoy it in perfect safety.

OFFICIAL REPORT
Ohio Agricultural Department Makes
Report for December.

The present condition of the grow
ing wheat plant shows a decline of
IS per cent in comparison with the
estimate of November /, being re-
ported at "a per cent compared with
an average. Decline in condition is
reported principally from southern
section Of state, where dry, cold,
weather prevailed during greater
part of November. The plant also
shows damage by Hessian fly, CORE
spondents estimating same at 5 per
cent. Eighty counties of the state
| report the presence of fly, the dam
age estimates from same ranging
from 1 to Is per cent. For the state
as whole, however, the condition of
the plant is satisfactory, and it will
go into winter in fine condition. Of
the crop of 1910, it is estimated that
A per cent was sold as soon as
threshed.
The corn harvest shows a material
increase over the estimate Of one
month ago. The average production
per acre is reported at 81 bushels,
giving total production for the state
Of 105,512,245 bushels. Statistics re-
turned from township assessors show
total state corn production for
1909 of 127,21S,227 bushels. On De-
cember 1, 1909, correspondents Of
this department estimated the har-
vest at 121,127,532 bushels approx
mately 100000 more than the pres
ent estimate. The average date of
cribbing was October 25th. This late
date was due to the crop drying out
slowly. The quality of the grain is
variable over the state. Warm, wet
weather caused mold in early cut
corn. 1t is estimated that Z per cent
of the present crop was put into
silo. Corn production in Ohio for
past five years, as returned by town.

1.-THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT OF GOOOD FELLOWSHIP

Good Cheer to Others.
1T IS MORE PLEASURE TO GIVE Than TO RECEIVE

Proper Spirit, Costs But Little.

make REAL HAPPINESS, and if you
really do appreciate what the teacher
is doing for you and your children,
this very Christmas time is THE
TIME TO SHOW 1T. Therefore
On the last week of school before
Christmas, send that teacher some
thing to let her (or him) know it..
A few flowers, book, Christmas
card "a very little money will buy
either) or a short personal letter ex-
pressing your thanks for efforts on
behalf of your child's welfare, will
do much to make the teacher happy
by knowing her work is appreciated.
Try it and see.
Again there are others. How many
times a day do you call the Central
telephone Office and ask for "the
time;" or where is the fire?" or a
, hundred other favors which the tele-
phone gives; and you business man,
do you ever stop to think of how Of
special effort to get you long dis
tance connection, and does the aver
age subscriber keep occount of the
numerous times he (or she) gets
cranky" because they cannot be ac-
commodated Immediately? Well, it
is safe to guess that the tired tele-
phone operator gets more growls than
pleasant words, but they would for
get lot of those unpleasant features
if they ever received a kindness.
Therefore, few flowers, a box of
candy or Christmas cards sent to the
Telephone Office for the operators
would help make Christmas more
pleasant. 1t don't cost much and will
bring gool results.
Still there are others.
| Do you people living along the
Rural mail routes ever think how
much you would miss the daily visit
of the mail carrier? Do you ever
think of the long miles he drives
every day over roads that are rough
or muddy, through storm and sun
shine, or freezing and scorching
weather, to bring the daily mail to
your door? Do you know that even
a rough and rugged mail carrier has
Christmas just the same as other
days, and while you are enjoying
that great day with your family, why
not give him merry greeting when
he arrives? Surely there is some.
thing on your farm that he would ap
preciate. Just try the game and see
how it works.
! And there's the newsboy! Don't
forget him! He's a hard-working
chap and he makes his money in very
small amounts. His profits are but
two to four cents a week on each
subscriber, and he must come to your
door six times week through mud
snow and storm, and sometimes he
gets "beat" out of even that small
profit. Therefore-when he comes
on Saturday, the day before Christ

So-don't forget the newsboy!

There are but few days remain
ing before Christmas morning will
dawn and in the few intervening
days every good citizen should make
an effort to distribute his stock of
Christmas cheer in such manner as
will bring happiness to those most
in need Of that blessing.
1t is not enough that you provide
for those of your immediate family,
but every person who is blessed with
enough for his own should make it
his duty to hunt up some deserving
person and by some gift, be it ever so
small, help to make the day more
cheerful for those who might other
wise feel that life is weary walk
along pathway that is strewn with
many thorns and few flowers.
Even in a small town or hamlet
there are children whose circum-
stances are such that the stockings
they hang up on Christmas eve may
be found empty in the morning and
any person who knows of such a
child, should make it duty to share
trifie of their own Christmas cheer
with these unfortunate ones, for an
empty stocking on Christmas morn
ing brings big load of sadness to
its possessor, and the person who
helps to remove that sadness from
the childish heart, adds mighty big
lump of happiness to his own heart,
and wins joy and consolation from
the divine words:
"Inasmuch as ye have done it un-
to one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me-"
There are many hard-working peo-

COURT HOUSE NEWS
Common Pleas Court Nearing End
of October Term.

Divorce business has become very
brisk in Wood county common pleas.
On Friday last Mary Hopkins was
given decree in answer to her petit
ton for separation from Edward
Hopkins.
The same day Alice Heminger was
released from the ties which bound
her to Mark A. Heminger.
The court continued the case of
Bertha McMullen against Samuel
McMullen. Bertha is only IL anu
her husband is only a trifle older.
They have little baby and the
court thought they were rather
young to be divorced, so he will give
them time to think it over.
On Monday George Southworth
was released from the obligation
which bound him to his wife, Clara
Southworth.
Charles Reihing was divorced from
his wife, Ada Reihing, on Friday last.
Petitions for divorce are being
docketed every week. One of the
latest is that of Birdie R. Walter
mire against Charles r. Waltermire
Her general allegations are that
Waltermier was not up to the task
of supporting her, that he was cruel
and abusive in his conduct and Ian
guages and he associated with wo-
men of ill repute. She says that he
was professional dead beat, running
up accounts wherever he could and
without intending to pay them; that
he was lazy and would not work;
that when they removed to Hancock
county he stole from his neighbors
constantly; that when she objected
he tried to kill her with a razor and
chased her through the streets of
Findlay; that his brutalities were di-
rectly responsible for the premature
birth of both children and their
death Immediately and that one of
them was deformed as a result of his
savagery; that in Galatea he locked
her in a house and threatened to kill
her on the spot; that after she had
filed an action for divorce in the
courts of Hancock county, he came
back to her and promised better treat
ment, but it lasted only one day and
then the old story commenced to be
written again. She asks for a di-
vorce, for the possession of their
household goods, for an injunction re-
straining her husband from bothering
ner and for restoration of her maid
en- name, Birdie R. Christ.
