The case of Amos Webber VS.. Ida
Webber, action for divorce, was heard
by Judge N. II. Mcclure Wednesday
morning. A decree was granted plain
tiff on the grounds Of extreme cruelty
and gross neglect of duty. Custody Of
the minor child was placed with the
juvenile court Of Lorain county.
The fire department was called
out Monday night about 6 o'clock for
an alarm turned in from the home Of
w. s. Lower, 721 South Court Street.
Fire had started in the roof of the
Lower house near the ridge pole, from
a defective chimney it is thought, but
had not gained much headway pend
ing the arrival of the department
and was soon extinguished with the
chemical apparatus. This house was
visited by a similar fire once before,
and but little damage was done.

benefit drew crowd Of about $50 or

Mallet Creek Institute was favored
by music by the male quartet and
school orchestra of nine pieces di-
rected by O.SG. Swartz.
The ladies furnished the refresh
ments.
One feature that deserved mention
was the talk made on growing the
corn crop, by isixteen-year-old high
school boy, William Salmon. A talk
that made some of the older heads
sit up and take notice:
The following resolutions were pre-
sented and adopted at the Granger in
stitute:
/. We, the committee on resolutions,
feel that Granger high school building
was erected for community develop
ment work, and is the place where
community meetings should be held,
and hence urge that school janitor
be hired by the year, with the cooper
alton of the board of trustees and the
school board, so that on such occa-
sions as this or any other meeting for
the benefit of the community, the
building may be used without further
expense.
2. Resolved also that our community
endorse the action of the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation, the Grange and
the Ohio Home Protective League
against classification of property for
taxation, and also endorse the stand
of the State Farm Bureau against the
reappraisal Of real estate.
8. Resolved also that we are in favor
of the bill establishing state rural po-
lice.
4. Resolved that the Institute send
vote of thanks to our President, E. j.
Haight, for the success of this insti-
tute, and hope for his speedy recovery.
5. Resolved that we express sim
cere vote Of thanks to the speakers,
to our orchestra, the pupils and teach
ers of Granger high school, and all
others who contributed to the suc-
cess of this institute, and we urge that
an institute be held next year.
