The election Of Mr. Campbell ended a
long deadlock on the hoard Two mem
bers of the board, c. c. Philbrick and
Or. r. H. Rorick thought the head or

favored Frank }. Lumb, of Center town
ship, and well known to the people OF
Cellna, blind principal of the school, for
the superintcndency. who when he real
lied he couldn't be elected urged Mr..
Campbell to take the civil service eXamin-

FORMER CELlNA MAN AMONG THE
WYOMING BOOSTERS

The Democrat is in receipt OF a copy
of the booster edition of The Basin Re-
publican, published at Basin, Wyoming.
1t consists of ten sections-S4 pages-and
boosts the Big Horn Basin Ito beat the
band" The paper is a most creditable
one and this edition is a great achieve
ment and worthy of that great coming
section of Wyoming. It's resources and
opportunities are ably set forth but not
overdone. We notice among the attor-
neys of Basin receiving mention, our for
mer townsman, r. B. Landfair, who has
been IN that state for several years.
The Republican has this to say of him:
r. b. Landfair one of the leading law
yers, moved from Lander to Basin about
q year ago and since his residence here
has already established a lucrative prac-
tice. Mr.. Landfair was born in Mercer
county, Ohio, in 1868, and attended the
public schools in Celina, Ohio, and gradu-
ated from the Cincinnati law school in
1899 and practiced law in Celina number
OF years before coming to Lander, Ere
mont county, Wyo. While in Celina, o.,
he held the office of city solicitor, he was
elected county and prosecuting attorney
of Fremont county and served the people
well in that capacity. He has won some
of the most celebrated criminal cases in
the courts of that district and is recog-
nized as an orator as evil as being learn
ed at law. He takes a prominent part in
business, lodge and social affairs and is
also interested in the oil industry in this
vicinity to quite an extent

MENDoN CANNING FACTORY NOW
A HOME CONCERN

Nothing has pleased US more, in bus
mess way. than the fact that the can
ming factory will soon be run. F. Il.
Hamilton & Son, of Lebanon, o., have
purchased the plant and it will be known
as the Mendon Packing Co., which will
he incorporated a little later on. That
Is too good a plant to allow to go to waste
and ruin. We feel that the original
stock holders will feel somewhat cOmpen-
stated if the plant is run for the benefit
Of the community.
Mr.. Hamilton did not get hold of the
plant until late, therefore he only expects
Il small acreage this year These men
own quite a plant at Lebanon for canning
corn, where they have been doing sue
cesful business each year. so they are
experienced men at the business they are
going into. The elder Mr.. Hamilton VIII
move to our town next week and VIII
live in the Church of God parsonage.
That means so much to our town that
everybody should take a hand i'm boost
ing it. Had the canning business kept
up as il started few years ago, with the
natural increase each year, we haven't
any doubt that our community would
have the benefit of from 100000 to $4,000
directly and indirectly from this same
business now.
Finally, we have the plant where we
have been wanting it, Independent and
owned by parties that will move mere, so
let's give it our hearty support.-Mendon
Herald.
