SHARON

The people of Sharon are not ready
for school Capitalization nor do they
desire, at least at this time, to back
up $4,000 bond issue for new
school building, as was evidenced BY
the result Of the special election held
there Tuesday, the vote against CEN
tralization being los, to II in favor.
There were 112 votes registered
against the bond issue and ga in its
Favor. In each case there was one
blank vote cast. The result seems
singular to some people because Of
the fact that Sharon has the larg-s
est number Of scholars enrolled Of any
rural district in the county and Is sur
rounded by townships maintaining
centralized school systems.

OYSTER SUPPER AT
LAFAYETTE EXCITING

The community and G. "A. r. oyster
supper held at Lafayette on last Tues
day evening, Jan. rs, was one Of the
most interesting and enjoyable events
ever held in that community.
Hundreds of people were fed in, the
big basement Of the new school build
ing. In fact there was a steady stream
Of the hungry from 6 o'clock till
nearly midnight. No one left the
table unsatisfied. Huge bowls of oys-
ter stew, sandwiches, doughnuts, rolls,
cakes, pies and pickles were set before
the multitudes in reckless profusion.
There was no end, apparently, to the
supply Of edibles, which was indeed a
good thing as it was cold night and
eyefy onc came with an appetite
prined for the occasion.
\ AS fast as group Of feasters were
filled, they adjourned to the auditor
iuni, making room for another bunch,
who proceeded to dernolish what was
left Of the provender.
In the auditorium Mr.. M. T. Wright
Of Medina, with a grafonola and a
good supply Of records, furnished
music Of various kinds, ranging from
1St. Patrick's Day in the Morning
and the Highland Fling to the
Sextette from Lucia 1t must be adj
mitted, however, that the Highland
Fling was more popular than some
Of the more classical numbers and II
was observed that many a gray
bearded, bald-headed man seemed To
rened his youth as the once familiar
strains came forth from the revolv-
ing disc on the platform. In imagin-
alton he heard the musical voice Of the
fiddler as he called head outside, foot
the center; first and third couple
swing" etc.
Feet could be heard keeping time tC
the music III all parts Of the hall, aisc
it must be admitted that the tapping
to the music did not all come from Tho
men. Indeed there was a glow on tht
cheek and d fash in the eye Of more
than one middle-aged lady as tn,
days OF youth were renewed in ths
strains Of Money Musk.
About nine o'clock there was I
great cOTnm0tion in the hall, q stamp
ing Of feet and shaking off Of snow
& flakes, jests and laughter when STOW
White, followed by the Medina band
eIbowed his way into the auditorium
Wihing The fr0st from his glasses ant
