AUDITOR HARPER AND BRIDE
GET FRIENDLY RECEPTION

Saturday was rather gloomy
day, and there were not so many
people around as usual for Satur-
day, and not so much activity as or
dinarily. However, along about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon things be-
gan to stir, and everybody began to
prick up his ears and listen for the
afternoon train. 1t had been noised
about that County Auditor c.. E..
Harper and his bride were to arrive
on that train from their wedding
trip. Court house officials and depu-
ties, editors, business men, society
folk and common people lined up
along Center street, or peered out
from windows or doors. Johnny
Fox, contrary to his we'll establish
ed custom of never mixing busi-
ness and fun" left his barber shop
for the time being and went over to
the depot to help see that Mr.. and
Mrs. Harper were given the proper
reception. Jason was there too, to
marshal" the forces and to see
that Harper didn't make any trou-
BILE for the fun makers-and lined
up with some of 1.-The boys as they
walked from the depot and escorted
Mr.. Harper and his bride up the
street. The latter had been seated
upon chairs on "Mr. Murphey's wag-
on drawn by two horses, and the
whole outfit made the slowest NOV
ing picture we have ever seen, but
among the best Some of the band
boys were on hand too to assist in
the greeting, and marched up the
street with the procession, filling
the air with the sweet strains of
Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here,v
and kindred selections.
Mr.. Harper and his bride entered
into the spirit Of the fun makers and
carried it off in the happiest man
ner conceivable, greeting the friends
on either side of the route, with
graciousness, and Mr. Harper tip
ping his hat every now and then as
they passed along, with an air that
might really be described as Ches-
terfieldian.
Mr.. Harper and his wife are MAX
ing their home for the winter in
rooms which the latter had in the
home of her sister and brother-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. r.. X. Longley.
Mr.. Harper may in the spring build
on the east half of the Harper lot,
corner Kennebec avenue and Liberty
street, which his mother has turned
over to him as wedding gift. They
are the recipients of number of
handsome gifts-am0ng them a
beautiful clock presented by friends,
including the court house people,
the local editors and some others

THEIR ANNUAL CELEBRATION

Anyone passing the armory on
last Friday evening could have
guessed that the local o. S. U. alum
nj were celebrating, Judging from
how the yells and songs sounded
from within.

program being received, but the

the lack of this feature. After a

ira under the leadership of HI. f.
Fast, in singing across the Field
and Buckeye Battle Cry" The or
chestra composed of Eleanor Erwin,

most of the popular state cheers.
The address by Pres. w. O.
Thompson, was read by Mayor D.
G. Ralston. Following this H. M.
Finley reviewed, and reported on
the achievements of Morgan coun-
ty's alumni. 1t was very interesting
to note the men and women who
were once Morgan county boys and
girls, and who have achieved no
small degree Of fame in their var
ious lines of endeavor Two solos
rendered by Mrs. H. d. Bishop, were
much enjoyed. DR.. James Bail
Naylor was present and commented
upon the growth and Importance of
the university since he was a stu
dent at Startling Medical college.
The Stadium song was sung by
Wayne Jackson, accompanied by
Eleanor Erwin at the piano, after
which the refreshment committee
served delightful light refreshments
to those present. After the "eats''
Supt. B. F. Fulks read short ad-
dress written by Coach J. w. Wilce.
The fact that Pres. Thompson is
head coach of athletics at o. S. u,
and the Importance of the support
of all the alumni to make a winning
team, was emphasized in Wilce's ad-
dress.
The closing exercises consisted of
a report of activities of Morgan
county alumni since the local asso-
citation was organized, ably present
ed by C. L. Stanbery, and followed
by the annual election of officers.
Those chosen to lead the activities
for next year are: Pres, DR.. M. W.
King; V. p, C. E. Dougan; Sec'y,
Mrs. j. D. Erwin, and Treas, T. G..
Allen. 1t was further voted to
recommend to the state secretary
that the celebration next year
would be held some time during va
cation, in order that the students
could participate; also that hereaf-
ter record be kept of all activities.
A total of Al, including visitors, at
tended the celebration.-XX

Road to Be~C Completed

Monday of this week the COM
missioners met with the state high
way department, and received the
promise Of $4,000 federal aid on
the New Lexington road, No. 354;
This will enable the road to be
built about two miles farther, TAX
ing it to the Perry county line, at
Porterville. This will be the first
road Of the county completed. The
commissioners also asked for fur
ther aid on No. $50, the Barnes
Vile road, to complete it three
fourths of mile farther, to the
John Whitney place. Because Of
the Campbell bridge which would
have to be built, this stretch includ-
ing the bridge would cost, it is esti-
mated, about $4,000. The bridge
alone will be about $500. FEEDER
al aid in the sum of $1,000 had al
ready been promised. and while no
definite statements were made to
the commissioners, it is thought
that something more than the SILL
900 will be granted for this piece

the arguments in the matter o.
change of venue in the criminal ac
ton brought against A. P. Pinker
ton, for making and publishing
fraudulent statements. Counsel fol
Pinkerton ask for change of venue
because they believe sSfs impossible
for him to have aSfair and impartia
trial here. Reason given for theil
belief is because of all the matter
there has been published in the
county papers since his being indict
ed, nothing having been published
setting forth the claims of defen
dant, or nothing to counteract the
natural effect of such publications
They also make the charge that 9S
stockholders of the county and theil
friends are in enmity against him
and that since his indictment large
number of his one time friends shur
him, and refuse to speak to him
The following persons filed affida'
Wits in which they alleged that they
do not believe that the defendant
Pinkerton, can have fair and i'm.

Gonagle argued against the change
of venue, and presented 38 counter
affidavits, the substance Of which

tion for a change of venue. Those
