A PROCLAMATION
To The People of Malta. Ohio


Inasmuch as it hath seemed wise
for the Great Creator of the Uni
verse to take from us our beloved
President, Warren G.. Harding, it is
meet that the deep grief which fills
the hearts of the American people
should find fitting expression:
Now, therefore, I, John o. Day
Mayor of Malta, do appoint Friday
August the 10th, as day of mourn
ing and prayer throughout the COM
munity, and earnestly recommend
that all business houses be closed al
12 o'clock for the balance of the day
and that the people assemble at their
places of worship where suitable
services will be held.
In witness, whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of my office to be affixed this
eighth day Of August, 1929.
JNO. o. DAY,
Mayor of Malta, Ohio.

Mr.. r. o. Maris of Malta, who
drives the oil and gasoline truck for
the PurOil Co., had a narrow escape
Monday evening while coming down
from GAINESVILLE. While ON the Stone
hill, in order to avoid some deep
ruts, he got too near the edge and
his truck went over the bank, roll
ing down onto the railroad track.
Mr.. Maris attempted to jump when
he saw the truck going, but could
not and went down with it. BY what
would seem to be a miracle, he esr
capped with but slight injuries.
Neither was the truck badly dam
aged. Removing the truck from the
railroad track took some time. and
the northbound train was several
hours late getting into GAINESVILLE.
