burned last Friday. She with her

paralysis, here, at the home of his
sister, Mrs. e. D. Shafer, where he
came Monday night. Just the time

been about o'clock when he be-
came ill. He was sleeping with his
little son Dana In the morning
DR.. Barker attempted to get up and
dress himself, which he partially
did, aud it was not until his SON
went down stairs about 8 o'clock,
that the Shafer family became
aware of the doctors illness. A
physician was Immediately sum-
moned. His right side was affected,
also his speech to an extent; how
ever, he was aware of his condition,
himself telling the doctor what the
trouble was. A trained nurse was
summoned. who arrived Tuesday.
The news of DR.. Barker's illness
comes with peculiar sadness to his
friends here, following so soon upon
the death of his wife, which occur
red Tuesday night of last week, at
Bethesda hospital, GAINESVILLE, the
body being taken to Dayton for fu-
neral services. 1t was shortly fol-
lowing his return from that place
that the doctor was stricken.
Last night he rested we'll, and is
doing as well as could be expected.

New M. E. Minister Here

Rev. r. o. McRea, the new pastor
assigned by the last session of the
Ohio conference to the local M. E.
church, preached his first sermon
here last Sunday morning. His
congregation was highly pleased
with his sermons, and he impressed
his audience as devout Christian
minister with message, that is we'll
delivered. He is young man who
is fast rising in his chosen profes-
sion. His place here is not an easy
one to fill, since the church of which
he is now pastor has had for a mum
ber of years very strong pastors
However, there is no doubt that
he will fully measure up to the
standard of his predecessors.
His wife and their two children
one aged three years and the other
three months, came Tuesday. Their
household goods also arrived on
that day. Mr.. McRea's father, Rev
T. I. McRea of West Lafayette, has
been here assisting him in getting

ATTENTION! Ex- SERVICE MEN
From Public Information
Lake Division American Red Cross
Cleveland Ohio

Lake Division American Red Cross
Cleveland. Ohio
1.-The swifiest, the hardest riding
of the Four Horsemen among the
disabled ex-service men today is
tuberculosis" says DR.. G. B. Cornell,
director of post war services of the
Lake division, A. r. G. Ignorance
of facts concerning the disease, and
the optimism of the tubercular man
combine to make the fight for his
rehabilitation one of the most diff
cult the Red Cross faces during this
present cleanup of soldiers prob
lems."
The American Legion and the
American Red Cross are cooperating
with the newly created government
Veterans bureau to bring to ex-ser-
vice men an opportunity to avail
themselves of governmental assist
ance. If there is a deficiency in
the family budget beause the fam
lily wage Garner, who has contracted
the dread disease during the service,
is sent to one of the numerous sana-
toriums throughout the country for
free treatment, this deficiency is
met by the provisions which are
made for the families by the govern
ment.
Within the FIVE states Ohio, Indi-
ana, Kentucky, West Virginia and
Michigan of the Lake division, are
many disabled war veterans. 1t has
been estimated that one out of every
four is suffering either from mild
form or the advanced stage of tu-
berculOsis.
For various reasons many of the
ex-service men do not know what
benefits are offered by the govern
ment. Service men who have re-
ceived treatment, people who come
in contact with cases needing at
tention are urged to inform all these
disabled men that the help which is
offered them means much more
than individual help. 1t means pre-
vention of further spread of tuber-
culosis, care of the tubercular mans
family, and finally relief and often
cure for the man himself.
All tubercular men who have
been in the army, navy or marines
should get in touch with the Red
Cross Immediately. The Red Cross,
working with a Cleanup squad"
comprising medical examiner,
compensation and claims examiner
of the government, a member of the
Veterans bureau and the American
Legion, is trying rapidly and thor
oughly in each state to clean up the
soldier problems for the govern
ment.
'The clean up campaign" is now
under way. The purpose of the
campaign is to acquaint all ex-ser-
vice men with their rights and privi-
leges under the war risk act, and to
see that they have an opportunity to
avail themselves of these rights.
The clean up squad for this dis
trict will have headquarters in
GAINESVILLE for two weeks, beginning
Oct. "a. Any ex-service man inter-
ested, please get in touch with the
RED Cross representative, Mrs.
Brooks, at once.

JAMES PARM|TER, NEAR
ME|CS. TAKES OWN LIFE

The following account of the
death of James Parmiter was fur
nished by our correspondent at
Probably nothing has happened
in this neighborhood that has sur
prised the people as much as the
suicide of James Parmiter Tuesday
evening at his home, about a mile
south of Meigs.
Mrs. Parmiter had gone to the
store at Meigs in the afternoon,
leaving Mr.. Parmiter alone. He
had been seemingly in better health
than for some time. Neighbors
heard the shot, but thought nothing
of it. On returning, Mrs. Parmiter
found him in the garden, dead. He
had taken off most of his clothing;
placed small box against larger
one, driven a stake into the ground
to set the butt of the gun, a shot
gun, against, using forked stick to
pull the trigger. From what we
can learn, he fired the shot about
$3.50, and was found about
o'clock. Coroner Fiscus was called.
and decided he met his death by his
own hand, death being instantan-
eous.
Jim, as he was known to all, was
a unique character. He was the
man who made the Muttonburg
drum corps famous.
James Parmiter was the son of
Ephraim and Eliza Parmiter; was
born in Bristol township July 20,
1910, died Oct. IS, 1921; was mar
ried to Phoebe A. Mathers March
27, 1843, to which union were born
four children-Perley of Kansas,
Cleveland Of Cushing, Okla, Mrs.
AIDA Dillehay of Waterford, and
one son who died in infancy.
The funeral was held this Thurs
day at 10 a. M, conducted by J. A.
Goddard. Burial at Meigs.

Seven After p. NJ. Plum

Last Thursday was the last day
for applicants to enroll for the civil
service examination in connection
with the naming of eligibles for
postmaster at the local post office.
There were seven parties who took
out blanks, and it is presumed that
they all made them out and sent
them in to the civil service commits
sion. 1t seems that this is all there
is to it at present. Later, it is said
an inspector, or something of the
kind. will come here and look the
candidates over, and size them UP
generally. They will name three
parties first on the list, any one Of
whom will be eligible. Then, it is
going the rounds, whoever Con-
gressman Moore recommends will
get the prize.
While it looked for a time like
there might be several applicants
from outside the town taking the So
called civil service examination, nc
new ones from the country districts
showed up, so there is but one
While there are seven, all are and
have been, save one, for many years
residents of this state, and have
been regular voters here.
Here are the applicants: Mrs
Rosa Birch, C. A. Gaylord, Pear
Savage, Don G.. Patterson, Jos. T
Sheridan, JOS. E. Cowan, and Alex
Humphries.
We will not attempt to name the
lucky party, but will leave that tc
the Prophet editor down street
who, by the way, is still on his IVA
cation" while his cousin Eek is
taking his place." At least he is
probably planning it SO that when
the Inspector" comes to size up the
P. M candidates, cousin Eek will
appear to be the "big cheese" of the
Herald, which is the party organ OF
the G. o. p. of this county, and
without it's support future candi
dates for office would be nil.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. K.

ersburg, w Va; Mr.. and Mrs. G..
w. Mummey of Stockport, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Mummey and son Cecil
of Meigs and Miss Bertha Parmiter

was an interesting one because OF
the fact that the older brothers
T. ]. and G.. w. Mummey, are the
oldest set of twins in a family of IL
children, Ii of whom are living,
the youngest child having reached
the age of 35 years before the home
was broken into by death.
