no unemployment in the Eighth Corps

The third annual agricultural

so they can see how their boys are
being instructed along this line.

families become acquainted they
will work together better

saved it. What a calamity it would
have been, not only to this nation
alone but to the nations of the
world had our soldiers failed. The
speaker took occasion to combat the
propaganda that Lee was the great
est general of the Civil war, and
showed that Grant outgeneraled
him at every turn. 1t was the great
est war fought up to that time, be-
cause it was a civil war. 1t was the
only war that was fought largely by
volunteer soldiers. Patriotism was
rampant. Many of the boys
even lied about their ages in
order to go. Great as was the army,
the number of soldiers fighting, the
long line of battle, ETC., the greatest
thing of all was the issue
involved, which was the pre-
serving of the Union. In closing,
the speaker said the comrades ought
to be kind to our government. 1t
has been good to them, and in the
future it will be still better. But
thing more than pensions to be
thankful for is that they as soldiers
have the unbounded love and re-
spect of the entire citizenship of the
nation, who recognize that the mem
bers of the g. A. r. today represent
the best citizenship of the land. He
asked that Mr.. Simpsons lesson Of
patriotism in the giving of the mon
ument be not forgotten, and we
should point to the monument to
teach patriotism to the young of our
community.

SCHOOL BOARD ACCEPTS
Il. f. FULkS' RESIGNATION

At a recent school board meeting
the resignation of Supt. B. F. Fulks
of the M. & M. schools was accepted,
and Friday of this week he leaves
for Mansfield to assume the $4,000
per year position as principal of the
Mansfield schools, which position
he had been tenGsred recently. Mr..
Fulks had starte,t in as superintend-
ent of our schools ell his afth year,
and he leaves them in the very best
of condition. We question if there
are many schools in the state with
such splendid working organiza-
tion as Prof. Fulks has here. He
had everything down to business
like system moving along with clock
works precision, producing most ef-
ficient results, from both teachers
and pupils. Those who nave taken
sufficient interest in our schools to
personally acqaint themselves with
the results being attained, are cog
infant of the fact that Mr. Fulks is
valuable school man, especially as
an executive. In addition to his
school duties he and his wife have
been active in church work and in
the social life of this place. Their
many friends regret to see them
leave.
When Mr.. Fulks te1cered his
esignation to the board they agreed
to accept it only under one condi-
tion-that was if they could find
some suitable person 70 take his
place That man has been found
in the splendid person OF Prof. Geo.
E. Carr. He is known to our peo-
pie He is son of ex-Commissioner
B "A. Carr; graduated with high
honors from our high school; is a
graduate of the o. U., and has de-
gree from the o. S. U; served his
country in the world war overseas,
and for a number of years has been
Of the Hamilton
township schools near Columbus,
where he has been eminently sue
cessfui. He will carry out the sys-
tenn as planned by Mr.. Fulks so far
as possible, so the change of su-
perintendents should make little il
any hitch in our schools.
Mr. .Carr's wife is also well known
here. being the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. F. Dougan of Pennsville.
They have one child. This COM
munity gladly welcomes them, and

proud of. The monument he said
represents loyalty, patriotism, self
sacrifice, suffering-death itself. It
stands as a token of gratitude to-
ward the men who suffered and bled
for the republic. Speaking of the
makers, and teachers of history, he
said history of this nation has had
more influence on the history of the
world than that of any other coun-
try. To live under the American
constitution is the greatest privilege
of the human race. He directed re-
marks 20 the youth. to ever remem-
ber their country with It's great
blessinss-it means opportunity,
liberty, and free institutions. He
cautioned the young men when they
hear criticism of our country, to vim
dicate our nation, and stand up for
it at all times, to pay no attention to
propagandists who would make be-
lieve they could make a better coun-
try that did Washington and other
founders. He said he liked to live
in a country which reaches down in
to humble log cabin to get a Lin
coin to administer the affairs of gov
ernment. A point impressed was
that the government is ours and we
are the government. Here he eau
toned his listeners to not forget the
donor of the monument who was a
real American, who recognized in
the soldiers debt that cannot be
paid In speaking of the great
Civil war, Mr.. Matthews said that
after all the blessings we had had,
a certain number attempted to blot
from the world the American repub-
lie and they would have succeeded
had it not been for the men of the
G. A. r. The banner of those who
attempted to destroy our nation
went down in defeat as it deserved
to. The flag of those who upheld
the Union came through with vic
tory and honor. All gratitude to
those who saved it-there is and
never has been any argument pre-
ennted to disnntA the fact that thew

the opportunity to pay the donor OF
the monument Mr.. Simpson, de-
served tribute, tracing his life from
it's humble beginning to It's success
full close-showed how he had al
ways liked the plain common people
of his native town, how he always
returned to visit his old home coun-
ty, and that evidence Of his feeling
for his boyhood town was his re-
quest that his body be returned to
rest in the little home cemetery. In
closing Mr. McGonagle assured the
representatives of the Simpson fam
lily, that the gift was appreciated
and that it would be safely and re-
ligiously cherished.
In this connection is recalled the
fact that for many years Mr.. Simp-
son never failed to remember the
children back in his old home town
by sending them each Christmas a
generous treat of candy. These sim
pie gifts showing a kindly heart, as
well as his gifts of the drinking
fountains, and equipment for the
Boy Scouts, and other kindnesses,
are remembered.
The exercises and speeches were
followed with medley of patriotic
airs played by the band, and the for
NAL closing of the ceremonies by
the chairman, following which Rev.
Gillian of the Malta M. E. church
pronounced the benediction.
In the enclosure about the monu
ment where the unveiling and dedi-
catory exercises were held, were
placed chairs and there was a plat
form decorated with the national
colors and upon which were seated
the speakers, members of the G. A.
r. and w. K. c., local officials and
representatives of the press and
others. The ceremonies as whole
were very impressiye,the day was an
ideal one, and the whole occasion
was one of such splendid features
as long to be cherished in the his
