MALCONTA POST IS
PLANS To
PURCHASE A HOME

At a banquet held by the Ameri-
can Legion, Malconta Post, No. "a,
at the armory last Thursday night,
initial steps were taken to purchase
a home of their own, About 40 mem
bers were present, and all pledged
themselves to give from 10 to $50
of their state compensation towards
the purchase of new quarters. Those
present numbered about 40, and the
amount pledged was approximately
$500. At the same ratio. If the en-
tire membership, which is about
120, would do the same, it would
mean that better than $4,000 would
be in sight. Then there are many
other soldiers OF the world war who
should and doubtless would join the
Legion so that the membership
should reach close to $50, and if
they would all agree to the PROPOSE
tion of contributing portion of
their adjusted compensation allot-
ment, almost the entire cost of the
new home would be in sight.
The banquet which preceded the
business. was prepared by the Eve
land restaurant cooks, and was ex-
cellent The Ladies' Auxiliary OF
the Malconta post did the serving.
The menu included roast pork and
dressing, scalloped potatoes, gravy,
baked beans, pickle. ice cream,
cake and coffee, with cigars and Gig
aretteS following.
Officers were elected for the en-
suing year as follows: Kenneth
Longley, post commander; Pearl
Savage. vice post commander; Chas
T. White, post adjutant; ]. R. AL
derman, treasurer, r. o. McRae
chaplain; Homer Mcbride, sergeant
at arms. The executive board mem
bers chosen are DR.. Fayen, Jerrold
G. Scott, Victor Jaynes, Robert An
derson and DR.. C. M. Stull.
The officers and executive board
were made committee to further
discuss the matter of the new home
and to appoint a building committee
to report soon.

MUSICAL COMEDY 'DON'T|
PARK HERE DRAWS CROWD|

Don't Park Here" is not only a
a sign for motorists, but also the
name of very clever musical COM
edy that was presented at the opera
house last evening. The costumes
were colorful and fresh looking, the
two sets of special scenery were new
and artistic. The surprisingly good
dancing, singing and acting of our
local people and the costumes COL
orings, stage settings, ETC., combined
to mark this show as one of the
best productions seen here for some
time.
Ruth Kennard handled the lead
ing role with real professional abil-
ity. Her song numbers, pleasing
appearance and personality helped
greatly Josephine Birch and Jona-
than Perkins were the funniest
team in the show and extracted
laugh from the audience every min
ute they were on the stage. and
proved their ability as real coined
ians. S. c. White took the part
of Mr.. O'Terry and played it so we'll
we hardly realized he was acting.
Bob King portrayed the character of
Dug Moneybanks we'll and inter-
preted his lines with full meaning.
Other leading characters deserv-
ing OF special mention were Mrs.
Mary Bingham, Donald Dougan,
Bernadine Mcclure, Mrs Viola Dou-
gan, Kenneth Longley, Mrs. Anna
IDougan, Mrs. Flo Kennard, George
Newman, Marie Huntington and the
Isix Floradora girls and men.
Among the choruses that regis
tered a big hit were the little tots
dancing the Irist Lilt The Russian
ballet girls displayed real dancing
liability and showed the result of
hard work in learning these difficult
steps
The Indian chorus led by DR..
Sears, the certain little boy chorus,
and farmerette girls with Mrs BetZ
singing The Old Town Hall, all did
good work Mr.. Geo. Newman and
Miss Huntington were well received
! in their Italian song number and
were ably supported by well cos
tuned chorus. Mrs. Byrl Coulson
and Dr. Myron King did a colonial
dance. This graceful team danced
we'll and aided by their attractive
costumes were very easy to look at.
The show was produced by the
lMOorehead Co., of GAINESVILLE, for
1.-The Civic club of this place
Judging from the people who
were unable to get seats for this
show it should have run two nights.
! Something over $50 persons took
Ipart in the extravaganza. We un-
! lderstand that the Community hos
Ipital's share of the proceeds from
the show will be $275 or more
! DR.. Fayen was accompanist for
the musical numbers, and in addi-
tion an orchestra rendered some
fine selections.

Richard and Rose Fouts Mckinney,
was born Dec. 7, 1850, and died
Jan. 16, 1922, at the age of little
past II years. He was born at the
jold Mckinney homestead near
Rokeby Lock, this county, and lived
There until shortly after his marriage
in 1881, when he moved to the west
side of the river in Deerfeld town
ship where he continued to reside op
farm until about three years age
when he removed to McCOnnelsviflS
where he resided at the time of his
death. In 1881 he was married to
Clara Whitaker, daughter of the late
lReece Whitaker, at Triadelphia, O.
Five children were born to this IN
| ion. The Oldest, Haley. died in young
manhood. His wife and the other
four children, Atty T. E. Mckinney
lot GAINESVILLE, o.. Beatrice and Jessie
B. mckinney of Washington. D. c.,
(, and Mrs. Earle Eveland of McCon-
nelsville, O., survive him. Mr.. McEl
hiney, while not in the best of
health, had been active until a few
weeks ago. His illness became
alarming on Jan. 4 and he remained
| in a serious condition until his death.
Mr.. Mckinney had always been a
widely known citizen of the county
In early manhood, together with his
brother, the late Atty James McEl-
hiney, he engaged in threshing
! throughout the northern part OF the
county and had always been identi-
| fled with farm life, stock raising and
breeding, and at the time of his
death owned the farm on which he
Hdu spent the greater part or MS
! life. When residing in the Lemon
! Hill neighborhood he had engaged
some in auctioneering. His business
affairs of different kinds brought
| him in contact with many people.
and this together with the fact that
he was always obliging. and inter
ested in the welfare and happiness
! of neighbors and friends, ready to
/ lend helping hand or minister to
them in any way possible made him
one of the best loved residents of
that locality His friends were many.
He had the faculty of making and
keeping them, and during his last
illness he deeply appreciated the
solicitude of his many friends about
his condition. Possessed of an opti-
mistic mind, saving sense of hu-
NOR, he was welcome throughout his
large circle of friends. The sympa-
thy of the community has been ex-
tended to the bereaved family and it
is with deep sorrow that we note
his passing.

VICTORY DAY CELEBRATION
DRAWS LARGE AUDIENCE

Victory Day was observed Sunday
evening, Jan. Is, at the Twin City
Opera House with the following pro-
gram Opening song, America; in
vocation, Rev. R. C. Dean; memory
scripture lesson, Rev. Mackay; mu-
sic by double male quartet.
Members of the ministerial asso-
citation, chairman of the dry cam
paign committee, singers, and Off
GERS of W.C.T.U. occupied the stage.
Ex-Representative G.. B: Smith Of
Malta introduced the speaker, Atty
lC. A. Maxwell of GAINESVILLE. A large
and attentive audience greeted him.
+, Manager Earle Eveland said it was
the finest Sunday evening audience
that had assembled there since he
| had been manager Of the opera
house The seats were filled and
many occupied standing room on
both floors. The speaker had mes
sage for all present. He said in part
| that this is not only Victory Day,
but Conversion Day; that when a
man is converted it is just the be-
ginning of his Christian life; it is
through faith, work and prayer he
is sustained and kept from falling
and giving up being follower of
the Christ This day we celebrate
the second anniversary Of National
Constitutional Prohibition, but the
Victory has not been won-only be-
gun. It now is as necessary to work
1pray and sacrifice for law enforce
Iment as it was for prohibition. 1t
is hard to get rid of an evil in two
years that has been in the world for
six thousand years. 1t is encourag-
ling that the church has awakened
and is working in harmony with
Christian temperance organizations.
! He emphasized the necessity of tenn
lperance instruction in the public
schools and in the Sunday schools,
and the creation Of public sentiment
| in favor of prohibition. Politics, he
said. should be laid aside in order
that everywhere officials might be
secured who. would best carry out
existing laws, If we save the boys
and girls of today from intemper-
ance, the next generation will be a
temperate one.
He complimented the Christian
women for being force in working
for God, home and humanity, and
said they had been force in help
| ing in enforcement, and must be a
force in helping to elect dry con-
gress. He related several thrilling
Experiences in arresting bootleggers,
the capture of stills and corn mash,
and arrest of those engaged in il
| tlicit distilling; told of vets trying to
bribe him in various ways; of their
looming into his home and in the
presence of his wife Offering him
$3.50 week if he wouldn't enforce
the prohibition laws.
The closing of his address was
beautifully expressed in Onward
Christian soldiers, marching as to
war, with the cross of Jesus going
lon before" The closing hymn "God
of our Fathers" was then sung by
the male chorus; Praise God from
whom all blessings f1ow," by the
audience, and the benediction pro-
lnounced by Rev. Warne.
While in McConnelsville Mr.. Max
well delivered an impressive ad-
dress in the morning at the M. p.
church and held mems meeting
in the afternoon at the M. f. church.
He was entertained by Rev and
Mrs. r. G. Dean and Sheriff and
Mrs. Ed Stallsmith.-XX.

1927 AUTO TAGS WON'T Do

A number of our leading citizens,
IA, to be exact. faced the Mayors
court Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week for driving their autos
with their 1921 license plate after
Jan. Is, the time limit for such tags
as allowed by law. They were given
the minimum fine which is 81, and
costs, which in each case figured
1920. Those who have their cars
stored for the winter, or who live in
the country had better get their
number plates before they come to
town. and not drive in with their old
license number. II you do they will
surely get you.

ANOTHER GAINESVILLE
B. B. TEAM SPANKED

For the seventh time this season
a GAINESVILLE basket ball team tasted
defeat at the hands of local players.
Since this years playing commenced,
GAINESVILLE has been trying to get an
aggregation together that can take
the long end of the score from our
M. & NJ tossers, and it is beginning
to look as if it simply ''can't be did" !"
Whether our players are on their
home floor, or on Zanesville's floor
the result is the same--a defeat for
GAINESVILLE. Tuesday evening, under
the name of the Meredith CONNER
cial college, a quintet of Zanesville's
hand picked crack dribblers came
down to play our Wagon Co., 124.
After one of the toughest, and yet
fastest games ever played on the 10
cal floor. Wagon Co. ended with
two point lead-20 to 1S. In the
first half our boys were considera-
bly, off color in their basket shooting,
especially r. Deedrick, which was
caused by his getting struck on the
nose. In the latter half he came
back with his usual fine playing.
Some of the up river dribblers tried
to pull some nasty stuff during the
game, but it didn't go with the wide
awake referee. Herbert Simeral, one
of Zanesville's guard, was their star
player. His playing was fast and
clean. Many times during the game
the score was tied. AT the end of
the first half it was all. In the
second half it was close for about
ten minutes, then Wagon Co. took
the lead. At one time they were
four points to the good. however in
the closing minutes of play the visit
ors dropped in a field. When the
final whistle blew, Wagon Co. was
two points to the good.
