Many persons In Blue Creek township
who have relatives buried in the Thicker
Cemetery are much worried at this time
and are taking preliminary steps TO have
the danger now threatened become more
imminent.
The cemetery stands on the banks Of
Blue Creek, which stream is now being
dredged, When the dredging reached the
location of the cemetery deep bed or
quicksand was struck and for several days
the machine was worked to It's utmost
capacity IN getting II out Of the way, but
when this was accomplished II was found
that the ground In that part Of the ceme-
terry next to the creek was cracking and
breaking and indications were numerous
that II might slide into the creek, carry
ing with II bodies of the persons buried
there.
Today the surveyor was called 10 the
place and many OF the residents OF the Vi
cinity are also there, making an investi-
cation and trying II possible to find some
way of preventing the threatened slide, II
rs understood that the contractor for the
dredging Is willing TO change the channel
at the place IL II Is necessary and a per-
nit 10 do so Is given.
The cemetery stands on a prominence
on the banks OF the creek and is one Of
the most beautiful country burying
grounds In the county,

A press dispatch from Columbus says:
With a committee of the Ohio Fair Boys
Auditor of the State A. v Donahey has
worked out system for keeping the rec
ords of over one hundred fair asso-
Citations which receive state and local aid
for the conduct of agricultural exhibi-
tions 1t is also arranged that examiners
are to begin at once the work of auditing
fair associations. The auditors will be
under control of the State Bureau of Ac-
counting. Because Of incomplete manner
in which records in the past have been
kept, it will be impossible to go back
more than two or three years on the in
vestigations In some instances there are
charges Of mismanagement and personal
profit, and information has been filed
at the Auditors Office of charges. The
examinations will afford an opportunity to
ascertain how much is due to rivalries of
factions for control of fair boards and how
much is genuine.
