REPORT OF EXAMINERS OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ANNUAL REPORT.
Celina, Ohio, December l8. I0.


To Hon. r. o. Lay ton, Judge:
Dear Sir-Under your appointment and
in compliance with the law, we have made
n careful examination of the report of the
Commissioners of Mercer County, Ohio, for
the year ending August 3lst, 1912.
A careful and thorough examination was
made OF the vouchers, the Legality of which
was passed upon by the Commissioners, all
amounts were carefully gone over checked
and rechecked to ascertain any errors, but
we fail to find any Irregularities.
We find that the amount of money eX-
pended during the year as shown by the
vouchers passed upon by said Board of
County Commissioners amounted to the
sum of S203,6l634 and we feel that the tax
payers of this county should congratulate
themselves on having such efficient and
economical officers to administer their
affairs
We find that Philip Linn drew the sum
of $4,000 for his services as janitor, which
we find very reasonable, and we feel
justified in publicly complimenting his
faithful services and the splendid condi-
tion in which he keeps the courthouse and
its surroundings.
dispatch, care and thoroughness as the
condition of the files and records would
permit, and the system now adopted is
very good and improved over the old way.
We wish to publicly express our thanks
to the County Auditor and his efficient dep
uties for their courteous and willing assist
ance rendered to facilitate the work.
Respectfully submitted.

followed the mysterious star, to lay
their offerings of gold, of frankincense
and Of myrrh before the Babe Of Beth
lehem.
In stern and puritan New England
Christmas was placed under ban. The
Plymouth colony, indeed, did not pass
prohibitive laws, but in 1922 Gov. Brad,
ford placed all Christmas games under
interdict and those who afterward
observed the day did 80 secretly. But
the Massachusetts Bay colony, follow
ing the example of Cromwell's parlia-
ment, which prohibited all observance
of the feast and decreed that holly
and ivy were badges Of sedition," en-
acted law, in 1869, obliging all men
to labor on Christmas day and inflict-
ing a fine upon those who observed the
feast. 1t was not until 1681-more
than 20 years after the passing of the
Cromwell regime and the restoration
Of the Stuart dynasty to the throne
that this law, abolishing personal free,
dom and liberty of worship, was re.
pealed; and several years after this
the spirit of New England was reflect
ed in letter written by Rev. Joshua
Moody to Rev. Increase Mather, in
which the observance of Christmas
was thus referred to: And the shut
ting up of shops on Christmas day and
driving the master out of school on
Xmas holydaies are very grevous."
Elsewhere throughout the colonies
the feast of Christmas was observed
Both New Amsterdam and New York
maintained the old-world customs as
sociated with the day and in the south
the beautiful festival never lost its
hold upon the hearts of the English
settlers.
Today there is no north, no south.
no east, no west, to Christmas cele-
bration in the United States. The
story of the Babe of Bethlehem is
written on every heart and every
tongue on Christmas morning repeats
the song the angels sang over the |
Judean hills: "Glory to God in the |
highest and on earth peace to men of |
good will"

soul. When her second husband died
she visited Rome, narrated to Pope

papal blessing returned to Iceland,

There are no records bearing on the
Christmas days spent by these hardy
Norwegians in New England, but i'm
agination can we'll picture the renewal
in this strange land of the Christmas
customs of Scandinavia. And thus it |
is entirely legitimate to assume that
by them the first celebration of the
day was observed in the new world.
History, and tradition as well, are
silent after this on new world affairs
until the coming of the Spaniards, fol-
lowed by the Portuguese, French and
English. By them the feast of the Ma
tivity was celebrated, and long before
Plymouth Rock was discovered, to be
made the cornerstone Of new civil

Had Something In Him.

Rev. Hudson Robert Jones had
preached what he thought was a
great Christmas sermon. On the way
home from church he came upon a
youth sitting doubled up on the steps
Of a domicile. Wishing to admonish
this young person for what he took to
be laziness, he stepped up to him and
said:-
Don't sit there like that, my boy;
this is Christmas. Get up and stir
yourself; you certainly must have
something in you"
I've got a big Christmas dinner in
me" was the forced reply, "and
can't move"

She makes it best who, looking after the
culinary department, turns her back resolute-

that true economy does not consist in the use

is an earnest advocate of home made, home

statements of the experts that the best cook
