HOMER MAN SUPERVISOR

The commissioners of Ashland coun-
ty met here Monday with Medina's
commissioners to arrange a mutual
and satisfactory arrangement for the
cleaning of the Elliot ditch, part Of
which is in Homer township. The
Ashland commissioners suggested that
a joint district supervisor for both
counties be appointed, but no law
could be found justifying such an ap-
pointment. It was finally agreed to
appoint G. W. Barnes of Homer as
district supervisor of the work in that
township. At present the ditch is
practically all cleaned on the Ashland
side and it will be Barnes duty to
superintend the cleaning of the Medi-
ma side.

OBITUARY

Ephraim Zigler was born in Milton
township, Wayne county, Ohio, Aug.
20, 1846. On Nov. 15, 1874, he was
united in marriage to Miss Orilla Huff,
and in the spring of 1875 moved to
Seville, having purchased what is now
their present farm. Here they lived
and labored for nearly forty years.
In this home five children were born,
three boys and two girls, but two Of
them now living, one boy and one girl
dying in infancy. When but young
man, he united with the United Breth-
rem church at Sterling, Ohio, and for
a term of years was faithful mem
ber, later transferring this member
ship to the Methodist Episcopal church
in Seville, where he has always proved
himself devoted, faithful, active man
of God. A member of the official
board and a class leader from the
time he became identified with this
church.
Brother Zigler was not man Of
words, but of faith and works, with
ideals that centered in all that was
pure and good, exemplifed in his care
to set the proper Christian example in
his home and community.
A church, community, a home, can
i'll afford to lose such man. But,
"Can this man be dead, whose spirit
ual influence is upon his kind?
He lives in glory; and his speaking
dust,
Has more of life than half its breath
ing molds."
For several years past Brother Zig
ler has been in failing health, and
in hopes of recovery he went to Flori-
da three years ago, returning and
for t1epast year or more making his
home in Seville. He moved in his
late home just last fall, while gradual
lily growing weaker and finally fell
asleep on Friday, Aug. 27, 1915, at
the age of 68 years, II months and
29 days, leaving to mourn, a wife,
two sons, one daughter, two grandchil-
dren, with large number of friends
and relatives.
l"Just such is the Christian; his course
| he begins
/ Like the sun in a midst, where he
i mourns for his sins,
And melts into tears; then he breaks
/ out and shines,
j And travels his heavenly way.
But when he comes nearer to finish the
i race,
4 Like fine setting sun, it looks rich
I, er in grace,
And gives sure hope, at the end Of
his days,
Of rising in brighter array" -

MORE AUTOS THAN WATCHES

There are more automobiles than
watches in many townships through
out Ohio, according to the face of the
tax returns. In not few townships
the autos outnumber the timepieces
two to one. Indeed, there are town
ships here and there where there lis
evidence almost to show that the peo-
pie are still resorting to sun diaIs and
shadow sticks.
But the autos are plentiful. What
is the answer?
The tax assessors will tell you that
the simple solution to the seeming per-
plexity lies in the fact that people can
hide their watches, but that no agency
has yet been found effectively to hide
an auto.
