GRANGERBURG

I The Board OF Directors of the town
ship Y. M. C. A. and the members Of
the school board met at the high
school on Tuesday night to consider
some vital points in connection with
the building Of the addition to the
school house. 1t developed that the
| appropriation made by special tax
alton would not permit the placing Of
basement in the new building; it
was the opinion of all that -uch base
ment should be added for the benefit
Of the town and for the use Of the Y.
M. c. A. boys. Hence subscription
paper was drawn up and given in the
hands of the Y. M. C. A.. to ask for
5000 to fit up suitable place under
the school addition for public use and
to be the meeting place Of the boys.
Now, neighbor, it depends upon your
generosity whether or not this shall
be realized, hence when the paper
reaches you, make liberal subscrip-
tion for this worthy cause.
An old saying that neighbor is
only such if he can be used, strikes us
as timely; hence when we had business
in Akron last Wednesday and William
Houck and wife offered their machine,
while our own is resting, we were glad
to accept. Thank.
Mrs. 0. L. Robinson was visitor
at the parsonage Wednesday.
Corvin Wiley reports that his first
day of soliciting funds for the pro-
posed school basement gave him cour-
age to keep the good thing going. He
secured almost half Of the needed
funds.
Beecher Baxter, who had the con-
tract for the laying Of the new porch
floors at the parsonage, finished his
work on Wednesday.
We had the pleasure of listening to
a very good address on the conditions
in China, by Mrs. Baird, who with her
husband are at present in this country.
Mrs. Baird was former Granger girl,
now a missionary under the F. M.
Board Of the Christian church.
We are sorry that the weather last
Saturday kept our people at home,
hence the long looked for Decoration
day celebration was not success. Mr..
Wagar who had charge Of the ar
rangements had made elaborate prep
arations for good program. A wet
afternoon spoilt the pleasure for us.
| Nevertheless we had some speaking
and very good martial music by the
drum corps, but the presence of only
two old veterans made US feel sad.
These men are answering roll call
livery fast and it will be but little
while til the last name shall have been
dropped from the roster. Let us
make these last days their best. They
have done much for us. It was Booker
Washington, the colored teacher, who
said: "An ounce Of taffy now is worth
a pound Of epitaphy after a fellow is
gone"
Despite the drizzling rain good
sized audience gathered at the M. E.
, church on Sunday to commemorate the
memory of the soldiers of 81. DR..
Mente delivered an excellent address
!. on Patriotism, Past, Present and Flu
ture," p. .ying tribute to the men and
women who preserved our national
birthright The male quartet render
ed two very fine pieces Of music. Eu-
, logies on patriotism and loyalty.

{ heavy financial loss in the death of one
of his best horses. The animal waE
taken sick with tetanus last Saturday
G and died Monday. A couple of vet

a horse at this time of the year i
: specially hard on farmer.

for pedestrians and teams. Clair Mi
