Fine Apples

Wednesday Mr.. L. NJ Ryan of
East Windsor showed us basket of
his Fall River apples. We have
seen many pretty apples, but never
have we seen prettier ones than
those of Mr.. Ryan's. They were
very large, beautifully colored,
sound and perfect Not only are
they handsome to look at, but they
are excellent cooking variety. Such
apples in large cities, would bring a
handsome price.

Smallpox Situation At Chesterhill

Seven cases of smallpox, in SIX
different families of Chesterhill and
vicinity, are under quarantine. No
cases have developed here in the
two towns, and the time limit is
past for taking it from Mr.. Earle
Woodward of Chesterhill, who was
i'll with the disease, and while here
went to an attraction in the opera
house. So far as we can learn the
only cases in the county are those
at Chesterhill and vicinity, and
there has been a wholesale vaccin-
alton of the people there, and fur
ther spread of the disease is not
looked for.

M. & NJ. LECTURE COURSE
Bigger And Better Than Ever

For the last several years the
lecture course has been sponsored
by the school. 1t has never been a
money making proposition nor does
the school intend it to be. 1t was
taken over for the reason that the
school was more closely in, touch
with the community and thereby
could better handle the ticket sale.
Moreover the school is always de-
sirous of encouraging those things
which are constructive, educational
and uplifting to the community.
Believing the people of Malta
and McConnelsville wanted the very
best talent in the country, higher
priced course was purchased this
year. The season ticket is $1.75
for adult and 81 for children below
high school age. This is really not
excessive when you consider that
there are five numbers.
The first number will be Friday
evening at the high school auditor
ium. This is a musical attraction,
the Harp Ensemble Company, fea-
turing three harps, cello and vio-
lin. This is one of the big successes
in the lyceum field. Lyceum aud
fences and the press everywhere are
unanimous in the praises of this
truly exceptional organization.
1t is hoped that the people of the
town will not think that the schools
are trying to hold them up or that
any profit is expected from the
course. Our schools are only try
ing to serve the community in the
greatest possible measure.

1t seems as though there is a
bunch of cranks abroad in the land
today, who seem to have kind of a
mush-headed opinion that work is an
evil, and that hard work is a s,heme

these guys and we're afraid of 'em.
If they got their living out of one
another like ants and spiders, it
would be different, but they don't.

Look Out For Magazine Agents

About two years ago this county
was canvassed by magazine agents,
who took number of subscriptions,
collecting money for the same, but
the magazines never showed up.
This week four young men repre-
senting themselves as agents for
certain magazines, began canvass
ing in these towns, and their ac-
tions were such that officers here
very much questioned their relia-
bility and drove them hence.
Whether they are still in this coun-
ty we do not know. They claim to
be working their way through
school Before magazine subscrip-
tions are paid to agents, do a little
careful Investigating. Better still,
order them from one of the many
reliable magazine agents here in
the county, with whom you are ac-
quainted.
