TO BE IMPORTANT FEATURE

The work of Miss Frances B.
Stillwell at the Chautauqua this
year Is going to be feature that
will guarantee a busy week for the
children of all ages. Miss Stillwell
expects to arrive in McConnelsville

wants children ranging from four
years to high school seniors for the
pageant, and for some of the lead
ing parts will have to select people

The amount of recreational work

pageant, which Miss Stillwell makes
the main issue. She will bring

soccer ball, basket ball and indoor
baseball, rubber ball, and pogo
sticks for the little ones. In the

games and story telling, for the
younger children, followed by As
minutes of pageant practice for the
older girls. Then in the evening
she will hold a period of team
games for older girls and boys.
Miss Stillwell is an expert with
young people and it will be a rare
privilege to get into her classes.
Parents should see that their chill
dren get the full benefit of it.. All

Visitors in Auto Accident

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Goudy and
little daughter Margie returned to
their home at Barberton Monday of
last week, after a weeks visit at the
McElfresh home near Rosseau. They
made the trip by auto and met with
a bad accident on their way down,
which might have cost them their
lives. But luckily no one was hurt
seriously. Some bruises and big
scare were the results, except that
the car was damaged somewhat. On
the road between Dresden and
GAINESVILLE the radius rod broke,
causing the machine to turn over on
one side The top being up prob
ably saved it from going farther.
Mrs. Goudy and baby went, not
cover the top" but through the top.
Mr.. Goudy escaped unhurt.-XX.

SUNDAY AT CHAUTAUQUA
GROVE TO BE GREAT DAY

Next Sunday, July 16, promises
to be a great day and evening in
McConnelsville. Bishop VIM, F. An
derson will on that occasion be here
and there will be three services
held, something doing all day and
evening. In the morning, beginning
at 10 o'clock, the Methodist Episco-
pal church will hold their service in
the Chautauqua auditorium. Bishop
Anderson will deliver the sermon,
and the music for the occasion will
be in charge of Mr.. Harry G.. Betz.
In the afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
there will be a meeting of the Nor
gan County Sunday school associa-
tion held in the auditorium. Inter
esting features are planned and it
will be an important meeting. L. B.
Edgar, adult superintendent of work
of the State Sunday school associa-
ton, will make the principal ad-
dress.
Then at night at 1880 comes a
great service which will be a union
meeting, all the local churches Join
ing. At this service Bishop Ander-
son will again address the audience.
and besides this the Muskingum
Valley Music Club of about 80 per-
sons will give a concert. They will
sing the cantata Gallia, by Gounod,
with orchestra accompaniment. The
solo work will be done by Miss Mir
lam Leasure of GAINESVILLE. Gallia is
very fine production and is we'll
worth hearing. Besides Gallia, the
chorus will also sing Worthy the
Lamb and the great Hallelujah
chorus from The Messiah. Those
who failed to hear this wonderful
Oratorio, The Messiah, when it was
given here by this chorus the 2Sth
OF last May, should not fail to be
present to hear these two splendid
choruses from it on Sunday evening
next. Those who did hear If will
doubtless want to hear these Choir
uses again. The music will be un-
der the direction of Prof. Omar Will
son who had charge of the prepara-
tory work for the presentation of
The Messiah, and DR.. Fayen who
was the accompanist then will be the
pianist on this occasion.
The service of Sunday evening
Will be fine religious festival of
sermon and song. Methodists of
this locality and of other churches
OF the county will be present, as well
as people of all denominations, from
towns and country. And if the
weather is favorable, which we trust
1t will be, we look for a great
crowd-a regular Chautauqua rec
ord breaking audience, at the close
OF a day which will be replete
throughout with good things.
Country people, make your ar
rangements to come in to enjoy the
morning meeting and to spend the
day, and to remain until after the
close of the great night service. Ey-
erybody is invited to all the ser
vices.

against Crooksville for innings
Rathbourne weakened and in the
9th, with two down, the visitors
scored 4 runs and won their last
Sundays game against the Rocky
Glens.
Rathbourne pitched good game
and held the visitors to 3 hits up to
the fatal 9Th when he lost control
and issued a base on balls, hit two
batters and allowed two safe hits
The local team played a fine game
on the defensive and did their best
batting of the season against the
best pitcher they have faced this
season.

Again the breaks went against
the local team, one of their two er-
rors being made in the ninth when
the play should have ended the in
ming without score.
Ridgley was shifted back to his
old position in the outfeId, on ac-
count of his bad hand, and Wilson
took his place on first and played
an excellent game. t-t -...
Skinner, with a triple and two
led at the bat and was re-

the locals runs.
