ROLL Of HONOR
The Subscription List Continues to
GrOw-Another School Added to the
Roll of Honor. Interest Increasing.
Fulton County Will Honor the Boys
in Blue.

The subscription for the Soldiers
Monument has not been mounting up
by leaps and bounds during the past
week but it has been growing and the
secretary has been made glad by ru-
mors of certain movements that are
on foot that will swell the total of
the subscription list we'll along to-
ward the two thousand dollar mark,
more than that, these rumors indicate
growing interest in this patriotic
movement and promise that the monu-
ment will be what the association de-
sires that it shall be the "free will
gift of the people of the county,. The
old Soldiers of Losure Post have set
another illustrious example before the
younger generations in appropriating
for the monument, from their treas
ury tf sum of $4,000 in memory of
the comrades who have marched on
to the Eternal Camping Grounds. The
lists are open to all citizens and or
ganizations of the county; it is an
opportunity to register your patriot
ism. The amount subscribed does not
figure so largely as does the fact that
you subscribe and by so doing DEM
onstrate your loyalty, your gratitude
and your reverence; this is something
for all of US to do together. Five
schools have responded thus far and
we are placing those schools first on
the Roll of Honor this week. We
find it impossible to reprint all of the
names that have previously appeared
on the Roll and therefore publish this
week in addition to the schools only
the names of new subscribers to the
fund. If you are pupil. teacher or
resident of a school district, see to it
that your school gets on the list, we
want the name of every school in the
county on the list Of those who gave
for the monument

WANDERERS
They Wander Morally, Mentally and
Physically-They Wandered Into
Fulton County and Were Gathered
in to Judge Barber's Court Where
Their Wanderings Cease.

Last week a party was discovered
| to be camping in Frank Snyder's
woods in Pike township, as there were
said to be number of children in the
party, also some horses and the only
shelter they had seemed to be tent.
The deputy sheriff, humane officer and
probation officer went out to investi-
gate; the party consisted of a man
and woman, presumably husband and
wife, and five children, the youngest,
girl of five years who was down with
bad case. of Group and the oldest a
boy of sixteen; four emaciated horses
were tied to trees in the woods with
out any shelter whatever and with no
visible signs of food. The people
were living in tent considerably the
worse for wear in which the principal
furniture was a quantity of straw; the
children were very poorly clad and in
a destitute condition. The people were
all brought to Wauseon and medical
attendance secured for the little girl
with Group who was found to be in a
very serious condition. The man was
brought into Juvenile court and pied
guilty to charge of mistreatment
of his children, giving the judge to un-
derstand that they were his children
and the woman, their mother, his
wife. He told the court story of
their wanderings in the states of In
diana and Ohio and claimed that they
were travelling to Detroit from Leb-
annon. Ohio; that he expected to go
to brother in Detroit who was a
teamster and who would find place
for him to work and house his family.
Judge Barber sentenced the man,
who gave his name as James King.
to 20 days in Jail and to pay fine of
$1,000 and costs. The next problem
before the court was the disposition
of the woman and children: before
this matter was disposed of King con-

PUBLIC LIBRARY
Some New Reading Matter of Inter-
est-Rev. Rihbany's Life Story in
the Atlantic Monthly-Most Ex-
tensive History of Ohio-John
GunckePs History of Maumee
Valley.

Wauseon receives publicity in the
March number of the Atlantic Month
ly through the life story of Rev. Alb
raham Nitric Rihbany, now a promi-
nent Boston clergyman but at that
time poor Syrian immigrant seeking
an education as an American, and,
first of all, the wherewithal to ac-
quire an education.
The story in the Atlantic Monthly
tells of Mr.. Rihbany's first coming
to Wauseon in 1898, during the fnan-
cial panic which made it difficult
even for native Americans to acquire
livelihood. Wandering westward
from New York City with some Or
ienAal silks and tapestries and a
couple of letters of introduction to
church people, including one from DIR.
Van Dyke, young Rihbany was de-
serted by his Syrian companion who
became homesick and joined a band
of Syrians in one of the cities, leav-
ing his friend to continue his way
westward. Rihbany failed as a vender
of silks and tapestries but resolved
to gain his expenses entirely by lee
turing before churches.
He finally reached Wauseon and
took his letters to the pastor of the
Congregational church (probably Rev.
Henry Coatesl, requesting the latter
to direct him to Christian boarding
house. The minister took the young
man to the home of the widowed sis
ters, Mrs. Susan Baldwin and Mrs.
Rosa Kolb, who extended to him the
first real sympathy and friendship of
NJ Il l.
made his headquarters for some time,
several wears later marrying their
niece. Some of Mr. Rihbanv's earli-
est ATTEMPTS at lecturing in the Eng
1ish laneuage were made in the old
Congrepationsl church on South Full
ton street. Within three wears he
had mastered the English language
sufficiently to become a minister. For
several years he was pastor of the
Congregational church at Morenci.
which was followed bv a trim to his
native land of Syria and to Palestine.
after which he entered the ministry
of the Unitarian denomination in
which he is now serving. Before
going to Roston Mr. Rihbanv was
pastor of the churcn in Toledo.
The Atlantic Monthly may be
found in the reading room at the
public library. The autobiography of
Mr.. Rihbany begins in the November
issue of the magazine.
Through the courtesy of Repre-
sentative Frank H. Reighard the Ii
brary is now in possession of volumes

and Historical Society publications.

Letter From John c. Rorick Describ-
ing Winter Life at Windermere,
Florida-Wauseon People in VIM

Windermere, Fla, Feb. 2e, 1914.

Windermere, Fla, Feb. 26, 1914.
Fulton County Tribune:
DR.. and Mrs. Darby, Florence Dim
Ike, Mrs. Rorick and myself arrived
in Jacksonville in due time and there
took boat; had a splendid trip up
the st. Johns river as far as Sanford
and there took a train for Winder-
mere arriving in the rain, on the 18th.
Mr.. Palmer met US at the station with
his auto and we were very soon To-
Gated in pleasant reservations at the
Cottage hotel kept by Mrs. r. E.
Kline, formerly a resident of Wau-
seon. It is a pleasant place to live,
everything neat and clean and meals
just what we like. Mr.. Kline runs a
deputy postmaster, Mr.. Palmer be-
there being no Wauseon scramble
among the Democrats here.
We are just enjoying the time of
our lives here. OF course it could not
be otherwise with Cal. Palmer, Have
Brigham and Mert Read with their
charming wives all located in splendid
cottages on the pine decorated banks

automobiles to drive us on the land
to look at the beautiful orange and
grapefruit groves.
The Williams arrived safely and
cottage and Cal is working on the
plans and filing his saws to start the
building. They are just happy and
their future looks bright. This GER
tainly is an ideal place for people
with means to locate for the winter
to enjoy life and lengthen their time
for earthly pleasure. believe it is
a healthy place for colored men new
er lie and I met one yesterday who
told me that no one ever gets sick
here and that 1--WE have no use for
a doctor, all he has to do is jus stan

seen cemetery yet. They may be
shrewd enough to have it hid some
where.
The social conditions here are en-
ervating. Florence Dimke enjoyed
her twelfth birthday on the 21st; a
merrv party of 20, all but seven be-
ing from Wauseon gathered in the
evening to celebrate the occasion;
complimentary and congratulatory
cards and boxes of candy were pro-
fuse and happy hours ended not until
midnight. Florence is the most pop
ular visitor in Windermere.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Dorm, w. s.
Braun and DIR. Thompson of Cleve-
land are here. They are all enter
tanning people and add greatly to the
social conditions. Braun and Thomp-
son are large orange grove owners
and are very enthusiastic over the
future of this section of Florida.

COLUMBUS MEETING
A Wonderful Observation-Disclosures
Hall Packed With Enthusiastic Re-
publicans-Prearranged Booms and
Personal Ambitions Conspicuous
For Their Absence.

About twenty-five Republicans
from this community attended the
Lincoln Day meeting held in Colum-
bus last week Thursday and all of
them have come home bringing re-
ports of the most enthusiastic Re-
publican meeting they ever attended
and they have also full confidence that
the Republican "Come Back" in Ohio
in 1914 is assured. The attendance
which reached more than 1000 was
remarkable in that it was composed
of representatives from practically
every township in the state; the re-
ports given by these representatives
were agreed as to the revival of Re-
publicanism and growing discomfort
with the Democratic administration
all over the state. There was an ut
ter absence of pre-arranged booms
or the exploiting of personal ambi-
tions; old leaders and men who are
prominent in the counsels of the party
were subordinating personal aspira-
tions to the re-uniting of the Repub-
lican forces and the success of the
party at the polls next November.
Tolerance and harmony seemed to
be the watchwords of those present
and the avowed purpose of the meet
ing to get together was certainly ac-
complished; the Republicans of Ohio
certainly got together. and what is
more they mean to stay together on
the common ground furnished by the
principles of the Republican party, the
nartv of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and
Mckinley. Fulton county is to have
her grand "get together meeting" the
latter part of this month and COM
mittees are now at work perfecting
plans to make this one of the biggest
and best Republican meetings ever
held in this county. Hon. Frank B.
Willis will be the principal speaker
and the exact date of the meeting will
be fixed to suit Mr.. Willis conven-
ience. Unless the signs of the times
in the political skv of Ohio are very
misleading Mr. Willis will be the
choice of the Republicans for candi-
date for governor and if he is we
hnlieve he will lead the G. o. P. on to
victory next November.

also member of the Knights of
Pythias- He was a true gentleman
and benevolent almost to fault. He
leaves one daughter, three brothers
and a large circle of friends to mourn
his death. But while we mourn it is
not without hope. For we know that
our loss is his eternal gain.
Funeral services were held last Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock in the
Christian church, conducted by Rev.
j. A. Wharton. A quartet from the
church rendered some sweet christian
hymns. The K. of P. lodge attended
