DEDICATION Of
MONUMENT To
FALLEN HEROES
At Ft. Recovery, July 2, to Mark
an Epoch In the History
of That village.
Committees Are at Work to See
That Success Marks CeremO-
ny atNOtabIe Event.
[Ft. Recovery Journal, ]

From the present outlook, the dedica-
tion or unveiling of the Memorial monu-
ment will be on a grand scale, and one
ofthe most momentous affairs ever known
in the history of Fort Recovery.
new impetus and push was given the
work, when on Friday evening of last
week at a citizens meeting in the town
hall, the work was put in the hands of
the village council, which on the follow
ing morning appointed a committee and
empowered it to take charge of the whole
work and manage the dedicatory services
in detail and push the matter to compile
ton.
This committee named by the council
consisted of the present monumental
committee, namely, G. A. Reuter-, W.T..
Irelan, J. L. Anthony, Ed Koch, H. w.
Wilman and A. A. Kolp. To this COM
mittee was also added the names of Hon.
w. f. TouVelle and f. T. Hastings
This committee was at once organized
by electing G. A. Reuter-, president; w.
I. ireland, secretary, and ]. L. Anthony,
treasurer. The first business transacted
was to appoint working committees for
the coming dedication or unvieling.
No mistakes we're made in the selec-
tion of these committees, because they
are all hustlers and pushers to the limit.
Their names alone insures success, a big
crowd of people and time in keeping
with this event which is Unidentified so
closely with the earliest history of our
territory. These committees have al
ready begun their work. 1t is too early
this week to give a tangible report of
what has been done, but each week the
progress of the work will be given. The
selection of speakers and the arrange
ment of the program will be chiefly in
the hands of Mr. TouVelle, who himself
will have all the time he desires, as our
people are one and all enthusiastically
desirous to hear what he NAV say.

THE COOLEST EVER

The cold snap we have just passed

it did not much more than scare us.

cinity is not serious.

Jack Frost FIfty-fOur
Years Ago

''Fifty-four years ago this morning
Muskingum County and greater part OF
Southeastern Ohio, for that matter, was
visited by killing frost and freeze, "
said well-known citizen to a Signal
reporter to-day 1T was Sunday, June
S, 1882 he continued, land no one
who lived here then can ever forget it..
| might not have remembered the date
to-day, had it not been for the fact that
the cold weather this morning and the
slight frost reported from some sections
of the county called it to my mind.,,
Older residents of Muskingum County
are often heard to remark about the June
freeze in '59. Thousands of acres of
wheat turned black and wilted to the
ground total loss, as a result of the
freeze. All of all kinds of fruit was
killed and the only crop that survived
the Jack Frost attack was the corn crop,
which was not very far advanced and the
freeze did not penetrate to its roots.
Saturday, June 4, was also quite chilly
and it was related to-day by an old-timer
that the country folks who assembled in
a grove near Duncan Falls for picnic
built a huge bonfire to keep warm and all
who were present ate their picnic dinners
gathered around the outdoor fire.

A Washington dlspatch Of Iune 9 says.

A Washington dispatch of June 9 says
The coolest weather ever recorded
during June i'll the Middle Atlantic
and New England States, the Ohio
Valley and the Great Lakes region
was reported to-day to the Weather
bureau. The Gulf States are the
only territory east of the Rockies to
escape an unreasonable drop. A high
barometric pressure of great magni-
tude is the official reason. Frosts
are reported from Vermont, Central
New York, New England, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. Frosts are predicted for to-
night in the Great Lakes region, the
Upper Ohio Valley, the North Allan
tic States and the mountain districts
of the middle Atlantic States.
Another from Columbus, of the same
date says:
This was the coolest June Gin the his
tory of Ohio according to the records of
the local weather bureau. The tempera-
ture this morning was 81 degrees. There
was light frost in some parts of the
State last night, but this was not general
due to the heavy winds that prevailed.
The damage from frost, it is said, will be
light. The local has a record for II for
one June day prior to 1885. Although
the official record OF the Columbus office
does not show it, according to reports
here was temerature of 40 degrees on
June S, 1869. Among the older inhabi-
ANTS of the State Capital are few sur
givors of the 'Blackfrost" of June 5,
1884. While that was prior to the estab-
ishment of the weather bureau, unofficial
-ecords exist showing that killing frosts
devastated fruits, vegetables and early
,rops practically throughout the state.

COURT MATTERS

Judge Mathers last Monday granted a
perpetual injunction in the case of J. S.
Jordan ct al VS.. the County Commission
ers. The plaintiffs had asked for an in
junction restraining the Commissioners
from making any levy, order or assess
ment, or approving of any sale for the
construction of a certain road i'll Black
creek township, petitioned for by B. L.

was given on the grounds that the petit
ton was not signed by a majority of the
land owners affected and that the as
sessments were not just.

a motion to quash the indictment re-
turned against Robert Sauntnan, which
charges him with assault with attempt
to wound J. H. Green, of near Ft.
Recovery.
Robert Adams, indicted by the May
grand jury for failure to provide for his
minor child, entered plea of not guilty
