Trying To Reach All Interested

The Community Civic club is
sending out letters trying to reacn
everyone interested, to advise them
of the movement on foot to erect an
entrance gate and Improve the
roadways of the alt Connelsyille
cemetery.
To compile this list Of names
and addresses has been quite a
task, and the list is of course far
from complete. If anyone is missed
that is well known, it has probably
happened because more than one
have addressed the letters. If such
is the case it is hoped that they may
be interested enough to assist the
cause anyway, and will send their
contribution to the treasurer of
the Civic club, Mrs. Carl Miller, Nc
Connelsville, O..
Names and addresses of people
the club members are not likely to
have found, will be gladly received
by them. Our communities have
good deal of civic pride and are
eager to have everything progress
that benefits and beauties our
towns. A list of all contributors
will be published from time to time.

Held Up BY Rain And Mud

The Newark, O., Tribune of June
10 announced the marriage OF Miss
Ruth George and Cecil S. Gregg of
Newark, which was solemnized in
GAINESVILLE Sunday, June 8, by Rev.
A. S. Watson, pastor of Market

med. Mrs. Jones wore a frock OF
peas.
This is the wedding that was to
have taken place at the Baptist
church in McConneIsville June s, at
the close of the morning service,
Rev. Lasley officiating The church
had been beautifully decorated with
flowers, and all arrangements had
been made for pretty church we'd
ding. a large congregation was
present
The bride and groom failed to ap-
pear however, so the wedding was
perforce called off at that particular
time and place. The reason for their
non-arriyal was that rain and mud
wait for no manor woman" They
were storm staid, that is they stuck
in the mud Sunday morning after
leaving GAINESVILLE for this place, and
their machine had to be pulled out
two or three times, SO they returned
to GAINESVILLE and were married
there.
Their disappointment was great,
as they are former parishioners of
Rev. Lasley's at Newark, and it had
been one of their fondest dreams TO
have him marry them

VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
PASSES THROUGH MALTA

On his way to Chicago Friday ev-
ening. Charles G. Dawes, vice presl-
dental nominee on the Republican
ticket. passed through Malta from
Marietta where he had been for
about a week at his old home, and
where he was when he received the
nomination for Vice President. Word
that he was to go through Malta was
passed around; the band was gotten
out. and quite a crowd was at the
station to meet the train. He was
riding in his special private car, and
from the rear platform made short
talk. He said that it was an uneX-
pected privilege to speak, and that
so long as he was in the Muskingum
valley he dared not make a political
speech. He spoke of the building on
the corner in Malta where his grand
father Henry Dawes was in business,
and stated that his father Rufus
Dawes was born in that building,
july 4, L o II. I HIS ID DclIcI hhO II
as the Chester Palmer building, on
lower Bell street, next to the river)
He also spoke of helping Col. Boone
to survey this valley on both sides
of the river, four times in all. Then,
he said, he thought there was no
more likelihood of Col Boone build
ing railroad in the Muskingum
valley, than building one to the
moon, and added that he hoped he
could make a better guess on what
would happen this fall at the cleo
tion. In closing his few remarks, he
stated that there are no better peo-
pie any place than in the Muskin-
gum valley, and that this valley is
one of the beauty spots in the U. S.
After finishing his talk, he shook
hands with those gathered about the
car. Mr.. Dawes in the sense of the
word, would not be considered an
orator.

All the Americans carried para
chutes as a safeguard, in the event
of their balloons being struck by
lightning or otherwise destroyed in
the air. The atmospheric condi-
tions were such that an almost per-
feet start was made in the race.
Lieut. De Muyter of Belgium, three
times winner of the cup, was the
favorite, it seemed, while the Amer
leans, Honeywell Van Orman and
Peck, were regarded as the ones
most likely to keep De Muyter from
gaining permanent possession of
the trophy.
w. T. Van Orman is the son-in-
law of Mrs. Maude Black of McCon-
nelsville.
The race was won by Lieut. De
Muyter plotting the balloon Bel
