The recent celebration of the 15Oth
anniversary of -Caswell
Lodge No. 10, A. F. and A NJ, kim
dies anew the interest of all North
Carolina Masons in this historic
body. The following Is as nearly an
accurate story of this lodge as 1 am
able to obtain.
The early history Of Johnson-Cas-
we'll Lodge goes back one hundred
and fifty years, and is entwined with
our. early history as a county. In 1885
a grant is recorded to Edward Jones
and Abigail Lugan for a tract of land
on the south side Of great Shocco
creek, Edgecombe precinct. This fact
is mentioned because this couple were
the common ancestors of a large ma
jority of the citizens Of Butte county
and Of a great many citizens of your
own county of Wake, and shows that
this section was then Edgecombe pre-
clnct. Later Granville county was
formed therefrom, and the will Of
Edwin Jones was recorded in Gran
vile county. He died a member Of the
Provincial Assembly at Newburne
| in 1852 (see Colonial Records). This
section was settled by men from Vir-
ginia-men of influence. good COM

E. ]. Hall of the dry organization
team of Hall and Summers, has ac-
eepted by wire the challenge of C. A.
Windle, made from a public platform
in Columbus on Thursday night in
which the editor of the Iconoclast an
avowed exponents of the vets, chaI-
lenged Mr.. Hall to a series of de-
bates on the Prohibition amendment
to be voted on in November. One of
the terms Mr.. Windle imposed was
that the debate should be given in at
least eight cities and that each side
should post $3.50 for each debate, and
that the disposition of these funds
so posted would be determined by
the way the community voted at the
coming election. Mr. Hall in his tele-
gram says: 81 accept his challenge
as published and I name the follow
ing cities and these only as the ones
where the debates are to take place:
Toledo, Wauseon, Bryan, Wooster
Mt. Vernon, Findlay, Ashland and
Steubenville. Mr.. Halls reason fol-
selecting these cities is that he is al
ready booked for orappearances there anc
these bookings cannot be changed
Mr.. Halls telegram ends with these
words: "Now, Windle, that have
called your bluff, walk up like mar

states that some of the schools that

The best of it all, is that plans are
already being made to make the edu-
cational exhibit of the schools of Full
ton county much better next year
than they were this year, and this
will mean an incentive to better and
more careful work in all the schools
of the county during this present
school year.

sWANTON CORN SHOW.

The Swanton Band came up to
Wauseon last Monday evening and
gave US a splendid serenade, we en-
joyed their music very much and a
number of US accepted the invitation
they brought and went down to
Swanton Wednesday to attend their
Annual Corn Show and Fall Festival
Those of US who went felt well re-
paid for our trip, enjoyed every min
ute of it, found the show up to the
high standard set in former years and
the people of Swanton most excellent
hosts and entertainers. The Corn
Show has become a permanent insti-
tuition in Swanton and it certainly is
commendable one Aside from the
exhibits of grain and farm products
which are really of high merit and
worth going many miles to see, it
affords splendid opportunity for the
people of the community to get to-
gether for a good time and get
acquainted.

Mrs. E. Kutzly will preside at the

come to be present at this festive oc-

In June, 1895, over twenty years
ago Rev. Paul Kluepfel organized the
Trinity Lutheran Church in Wauseon.
Rev. Kluepfel was the pastor Of the
Lutheran church at Archbold and the
pastorate of the Wauseon church was
assumed as additional to his other
pastoral duties which have never been
neglected. During all the twenty
years Mr.. Kluepfel has been the pas
tor of this Wauseon congregation and
his people have loyalty followed his
leadership.
Among the many things that GO
unchronicled in the life of our COM
munity and by many people un-
thought of, is the real good that is
wrought in the lives of men, women
and children by the churches of the

COUNCIL MEETING
First Meeting of October - Police
Judge Appointed Special Police
To Act as Traffic Officer-Meeting
Short But To The Point.

Every member of the Council was
in his place last Monday evening
when Mayor Hoy called the meeting
to order. After the usual routine, a
resolution was adopted appointing
Justice L. H. Deyo, police judge for
the Village of Wauseon. Harrison
Biddle was given permit to move
barn on to the premises of E. F. Han
son and Company on the fling of Gus
tomary bond.
Sidewalks and sewers occupied the
spot light for brief period and the
Mayor announced the appointment of
Charles Snyder as special police to act
as traffic officer on the streets of
Wauseon. The appointment was
promptly confirmed by the council and
the final touch of preparation is now
complete to enforcing the Traffic
| Ordinance which will be in effect on
and after Sunday October 10th. The
council have decided that it is better
to endure some unpleasantness from
those who may persist in disregard
ing the rules of the Traffic Ordinance
than to risk the destruction Of pro
perty, accidents that MAIN and kill
and the consequent bills for damages.
The MarshaPs reports show that the
majority of people show a disposition
to observe the rules by which ac-
cidents may be avoided, but there are
a few who persist in disregarding
these rules. Ample opportunity has
been given drivers and owners of We
hicles to acquaint themselves with
the provisions. of the Traffic Ordin-
ance. If there are those who have
not yet secured a copy of the Ordin-
ance they may secure one of Marshal
Robert Sweeny. The main violations
that have been persisted in are speed
ing-failures to use mufflers, to keep
to the right, and to approach other
streets than that on which person is
driving or to turn corners without
the machine under full control. The
speed milit of Fulton street between
Oak and Chestnut streets is 10 miles
an hour, on all other streets in the
/ village the limit is Is miles an hour.
Mufflers must be used when driving
within the city limits and drivers
must keep to the right hand side of
the street. Those who persist in
/ violating any of the rules of the or
dinance are simply laying up trouble
| for themselves for the council have
determined. to enforce the ordinance
and officers are instructed to that
end Pedestrians should bear in
mind that in crossing streets they
should keep between the white safety
lines or cross at established crossings,
those who run across a street at any
place they may happen to be, do SO
at their own risk.
| Another nuisance to traffic especial
ly when the streets are filled with
people is the roller skates. Some two
or three years ago the section of
Fulton. street between the Methodist
church and the Court House was des-
ignated by the council as closed terri
tory to roller skates. School children
and others who care for the roller

THE COUNTY FAIR

Special Features Reasons Why

Out-Hopes For The Future.

Our 1915 Fair is now a matter OF
history. AS usual we had a rainy
day, which brought disappointment
to many. as well as financial loss.
This is five times out of six that we
have had rain. Onto each Fair some
rain must fall is five sixths true. The
exhibit was above the average in
quantity and quality, except in show
horses and we had horses of quality
but not large entry. The Art Hall
was lovely place and proved beyond
doubt, that the ladies of Fulton
county can furnish all that the hall
vii contain. The Educational Exhibit
was the Best Ever. The fine new
home of the Agricultural Exhibit was
we'll occupied. Many compliments
were paid this exhibit.
OF hogs and sheep we had all pens
filled and some new pens also. Both
splendid exhibit. One novelty in
the sheep exhibit was new breed
of sheep known as Karakrile sheep,
exhibited by G. G. Kreglow of Ada
Ohio. A black sheep. 1t is claimed
there are only seven of its kind in the
U. s.
There were sixty-four head of cat
tie on exhibition representing several
breeds. A very fine exhibit.
The poultry exhibit was large
One pleasing feature Of this exhibit
was that several of our local fanciers
/, took hand thereby adding more
quality to the exhibit. Much credit
is due those who had mercantile dis.

their places of business. Sixty-ons

community. No mistake that the
church may make but receives its
full share of publicity and attention,
no slightest inconsistency, real or
fancied but is brought out into the
spot light of public consideration; but
of the good that is being
wrought for time and eternity by
faithful pastors and church members
little is ever said and little is ever
known. And yet, such good is being
done constantly; if all that has been
wrought might be known by men as
it is known by The Infinite, then it
would appear that the most potent
factors for the progress and uplift
of our community are the churches.
For the past twenty years the
Trinity Lutheran Church has been
one of these factors and in a true
inventory of the forces that build
the nobler and better things of earth
and time, this church would stand as
one of our most valuable institutions
For these reasons we cannot but re-

requirement of beautiful church

they be prospered and strengthened
in the use of this, new medium
through which to carry on their
Chrtstian work. During the twenty
yeas of the life of this church they
have held their services in the Bap-
tist church building. Last winter un-
der the leadership of their pastor the
congregation perfected plans to build
and in March of this year the build
ing was begun on. the site on Cherry
street; in May the corner stone was
laid with appropriate ceremonies and
next Sunday will mark the consum-
nation of hope long held by pas
tor and people. The approximate
cost of the church inclusive of site is
$4,000, but the actual amount of
money required was $1,000; there was
at least $4,000 worth of labor that
was given by the members and pas
tor of the church, including all haul
ing, concrete and stone work and the
pastor has himself made the pulpit
from which he will preach.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT
The Fund Increased By a Liberal
Donation From Comrade J. P. Hol-
land-Campaign TO Obtain Names
of Soldiers Who Enlisted From
Fulton County.

The Fulton County Soldiers Monu-
menr Is suil a 1--we issue and the pros
pect is bright for the realization of
Gne hopes OF patriotic citizens of the
county, which nave persisted "Lo these
many years, even when there was
put ntrle to encourage such hopes.
If the old saying, good things come
slow, be true then this Fulton coun-
ty Soldiers Monument ought to be
a very good one for it has been very
slow IN coming.
But it's coming, almost here; every
once-in-a-while somebody happens
along that gives the work boost
and brings this monument just a lit
tie bit nearer; this time it is Com
rade J. p. Holland of Toledo who was
in Wauseon last week visiting his old
companions of Co. H.; very quietly he
handed over $500 toward the monu-
ment fund and it goes without say
ing that he made a lot of people happy
when he did it.
Just now the problem before the
Board Of Trustees of the Association
is to secure an accurate list of the
2207 soldiers who enlisted in the Union
Army from Fulton county. There is
no county record, the Roster of Ohio
Soldiers, gives only the name of the
soldier, company and regiment with
date Of enlistment but not the place
from which they enlisted. The Off
cials at Columbus and in Washington
have been appealed to, but they are
unable to help out. The trustees have
decided upon asking the vice-presi-
dents of the association. there is
one for each township in the county,
to call a meeting Of the ex-soldiers
and old residents of their respective
townships and secure in this way the
names of those who enlisted from
that township. When the reports are
in from all the townships it is beliey.
ed that there can be an accurate list
made up. The Military History Of
| Ohio, a volume that is owned b,
many persons throughout the county,
will be a great help in securing this
list but it must be born in mind thai
1t is incomplete. The regiment ant
company of every man that enlisted
from the county should be given.
There are many who will read thi.
article who can render valuable as
sistance in this campaign if they will
and In order to give those who ar,
|, disposed to help the opportunity W,
give herewith the names of the vic,
presidents for all the townships. Com
municate with these men if you hav
any information that would help.

FIGURES SHOW GAINS
FROM OPEN RIVER WORK
PORTAGE ROAD AT CELLO WAS
CONSIDERABLE FACTOR
IN REDUCTIONS.

Some facts as to what the improve
ment OF the Columbia river has
meant In the way OF freight rate re-
ductions in the past are contained in
an interesting story by Marshall n
Dana in the sunday Journal. Re-
garding the effects Of the Cascade ca
nal and locks OF the portage road at
Cecilo. the story says.
Unquestionably the portage rail-
way saved consumers and shippers
more through reduction Of freight
rates than they ever realized or APP
preciated. Cascades canal and locks
were opened in 1895. The railroad
then charged l-2 cents hundred
weight TO carry salt in carload lots
TO The Dalles. and 81 l-2 cents u
hundredweight to Umatilla, 90 miles
farther. The rate per hundredweight
IN less than carload lots was is cents
TO The Dalles and so cents to Umatil-
las The same disparity applied in the
shipment OF sugar. canned goods
loose wool and other commodities.
After the portage railway was opened
the rate on salt to Umatlla was re-
duced from 81 Ia cents to 81 cents
sugar from 81 cents to
IS cents, canned goods from 81 cents
to S5 cents. grain from 15 cents to
10 Ia cents,
