DIES IN AFRICA AFTER
GREAT LIFE OF SERVICE

j The Caldwell Press Of last week
had an article concerning the death
of Rev. VIM. Haas, a Baptist min
lister who will be remembered by
quite a number here. Some years
ago he visited in this place and
when here assisted in meetings at
the Baptist church. He and his
wife were beautiful singers, and
sang special numbers together, and
/ he was also recognized as being a
deeply spiritual man. His life car
ried out what seemed to be his pre-
vailing characteristic at that time
ticle from the Caldwell paper was
, as follows:
Word was received last week by
j. A. Okey from E. s. Carmin of
Cleveland, saying that Rev. VIM.
Haas died in Africa, on May %. A
cablegram announcing his death was
not received in this country until
June %, almost month after his
death. 1t is supposed that the de-
lay in receiving the news of his
death was due to the fact that he
died far in the interior of the dark
continent. Rev. Haas was pastor of
the Caldwell Baptist and the church
at South Olive for four years, enter
ing upon his pastorate in the year
1902. From this place he served as
pastor of the Memorial Baptist
church in Columbus for a few years
Those who knew Rev. Haas will re-
member him as a remarkable man.
He was kind, humble. and filled with
an intense zeal for the work OF the
ministry, and his influence on the
lives OF those who came in contact
with him was always felt, and mani
fest. Rev. Haas had felt for many
years that his supreme work was to
carry the gospel to the uncivilized
tribes in the continent of Africa. So
about II years ago he, and his wife
and child sailed for Africa. They
travelled on foot and by canoe from
one side of the continent to the 9TH
er, teaching and preaching as they
went, and endured many hardships
and privations. Rev. Haas visited
many of the tribes in Equatorial At
RIGA, some of whom had never been
visited by white man previously.
The work in those tribes along
evangelical lines had grown to such
an extent that it now requires sew
eral missionaries to take charge Of
the work which Rev. Haas started"

Notes On Ball Games


The game on the afternoon of
July 4th between the Rocky Glens of
this place and the Misco Giants, re-
suited in victory for the former, by a
score of 6 to 1. 1t was a fast and
interesting game, the outstanding
feature, of which was Harper's excel
lent pitching.
This was the second game thus
far this season for the Rocky Glens,
the first one having been on June
20 with the Putnam Foreigners of
GAINESVILLE. In that game the Rocky
Glens also won. the score being 70
to ]. The Glens seem to be a real
team, and with the support they feel
is due them, they promise some 9TH
er good games during the season.
Their next game is scheduled for
next Sunday at p. m. 1t will be
with the Mosaic Greys of GAINESVILLE.
The Mosaics have won Is out Of II
games thus far this season. A real
game here is anticipated.

FISH AND GAME DIVISIONS
HAVE BEEN REORGANIZED

Reorganization of the field force
of the state fish and game division
has been completed by Chief d. o.
Thompson. The state Is divided in
to ten districts, each under a super
visor who has charge of salaried
wardens and all card men. The new
plan is great improvement over
the old system because it prevents
overlapping Of Jurisdiction and
tends to create more efficiency
among the officers. Morgan county
is in district nine. Other counties
in the same district are: Athens,
Muskingum, Guernsey, Belmont,
Ieigs, Washington and Noble coen-
ties; Barney LeFever, Glouster, is
supervisor; j. T. Atwood, Zanes-
vile; William A. Morgan, Cam
bridge; w. c. Marlatt, Bellaire; D.

aried men.

CHAUTAUQUA SEASON TICKETS
TO BE PUT ON SALE SATURDAY

Only two more weeks until Chau-
tauqua. 1t seems impossible that we
are again up to that big event of the
summer which has come to be such
popular annual affair, and which
also serves to remind us that sum-
mer is flying past and fall is almost
here.
Chautauqua season tickets go on
sale Saturday morning at all the
drug stores in McConnelsville and
Malta and at the T. j. Nicely store in
Neelyville and at the Pennsville post
office, under the direction of j. F.

heretofore, So for adults and 81 for
children, between the ages of s and
Is.
1t will cost $3.50 to attend all the
night sessions where single admis-
sion ticktes are purchased, and
$3.50 to attend both night and day,
so that it is big saving to buy the
season tickets, and an unusually
heavy sale is expected this year.

same number-matching scheme will
be used as in the past. The first rs
pairs to match their numbers will
be entitled to free season reserved

The Cemetery Improvement Fund

II
Over $500 has come in for the
McConnelsville cemetery fund, and
every contributor has expressed
pleasure that the much needed work
has been undertaken, and hopes
that it will be successful But $500
is an inadequate sum to do what
must be done to improve the ceme-
terry Most Of the gifts have come
from out of town people. Our own
citizens are interested too, of
course. People are doubly interest
ed in a personal thing, and surely
want property that belongs to them
to be in a slightly condition.
Now is the time to make a liberal
donation to this fund, so that the
work may proceed before cold
weather. Let everyone help little,
just as soon, too, as possible,
whether they have received a letter
or not.
The plans submitted by Mr.. Har-
ry G. Meyers, architect, of Los An
geles, Cal, for the entrance to the
McConnelsville cemetery, have been
accepted, and will be shown in the
