Chairman Pike Of the Farmer Lab,
Party and other members of tn
executive committee. This differ

= is opposed to a class party and ia
vors opening the party to american
e citizens" and opposed to allowing
: any economic groups representation
g as such at the May 30th convention.
The opposition to Chairman Pike
bases its position on the fact that
sr without its class character the Farm
er-Labor Party would have no ex-
IS cuse for existence. The capitalist
ct parties while ostensibly open to the
se public are ruled by the capitalist in
IF terests. These parties frame laws
in the interests of the CAPITALISTS and
at use the armed forces of the govern
u ment which they control to enforce
t, these laws.

Minnesota Union Advocate and
leader in the farmer-labor movement

objections made by Chairman Pike

Mr. Durbin, it is difficult for me

in regard to the fine spirit prompt
ing you and the two other fine gem
tlemen to offer a silver loving cup
to the team showing the best sports
manship. You know / believe that
if our teams were all run on the

placed upon the good sport idea we
would get farther ahead in our
character building in high school.

our boys ever since the beginning
of the school year, and now to see
that they took it to heart means
more to me than l can ever say. /
thought that my cup was full when
received the news that our boys
had defeated Marietta Junior high,
but that compared to the cup they
won is of no Importance.
Our school will always remember
the names Of Durbin, Fisher and
Baker for their excellent spirit, and
desire that I hereby extend to each
of you individually a vote of thanks
from the student body. / assure
you that we will strive to always

Comment On
Church Service

At the service Sunday evening at
the Baptist church, the closing SER
vice of a three weeks series of spe-
cial evangelistic meetings, there was
a great audience. A gentleman who
was of the number present and who
is a friend and admirer of Rev.
Thos. Lasley, though not member
of the Baptist denomination, con
tributed to the Democrat a comment
regarding the Sunday night service,
which was in substance as follows:
The service at the Baptist church
on Sunday evening was attended by
quite large number of men and
ladies. There were Maccabees and
Masons, Woodmen, and some of them
real Odd Fellows, and for aught we
know some X. K. KS. There were
Presbyterians, and Methodist and
Christian church people, making a
splendid crowd in all. Rev. Mr..
Lasley preached on "The wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God Is
eternal life" He made it plain that
the wages earned by sin are always
paid, but that salvation-eternal
life, can neither be bought nor earn

from God. to all who will receive 1t.

William Shepard Dies

At o'clock Sunday afternoon, at
his home near Glouster, William A.
Shepard died at the age of 81 years.
He was one of the oldest men of
that community, and though he was
the oldest, he was the last of the
seven children of Hiram and Nancy
Shepard, early pioneers of the Mus
kingum river valley country. Mr..
Shepard was born in Homer town
ship, Morgan county, and lived in
the county all his life, engaging in
farming and cattle raising. He
leaves one son, DR.. C. M. Shepard,
orthopedic surgeon, of Columbus.
His first wife was Georgane Pedi-
cord who died 10 years ago while a
patient at Grant hospital The sec
ond wife who survives was Mary
Walton of Pennsylvania.
Funeral services for Mr.. Shepard
were held at the residence of niece
Mrs Geo. Kinney of Glouster, Tues
day, and burial was made Wednes-
day in Green Lawn, Columbus,
where private services were held.

Fire At Opera House

Monday about / o'clock p. M,
smoke was seen coming from the
opera house, and it was discovered
that it was on fire under the stage.
The smoke was so dense that the
firefighters experienced some little
difficulty in fighting the flames. The
fire started between the top of a
dressing room near the front part
of the stage, and the floor. Just
how it originated is not known.
The electric light wiring was all in
conduit, besides the switch was open
and had been since Saturday night.
There are inch auger holes in the
stage floor, and a lighted cigarette
or cigar stub might have been drop
ped in one of them. When discov-
cred the flames had burst through
the floor, and several joists in the
floor were badly burned. However
the entire loss will not be over 500.
The only damage to the furniture
or equipment was that to the piano,
which was damaged by water.
1t was another narrow escape
from very disastrous fire, since
had it gotten under a little more
headway, the chances are that not
only the opera house ~would have
burned, but the entire block as well.

dren-Mrs. Rohrer mentioned; Mrs.

Rogers and Clarence Palmer of
Caldwell, Ia, and Raymond Palm
er of Williamstown, w. Va. The
deceased was a Civil war soldier

Concerning Library

The Kate Love Simpson library
here, the gift of the late Thos. H.
Simpson of Detroit, is an institution
S-that calls for attention and consid-
Grafton on the part of our people.
AS is known, the building and
equipment was donated to the town
outright by Mr.. Simpson. In his will
no provision was made for its up
keep. That matter is left to the
community at large. The public has
contributed thus far to the upkeep
of the library, and the people of
Malta have joined with the people
of McConnelsville, in subscribing to
it's maintenance. 1t is planned to
make McConnelsville and Malta
what will be known as a library
district"
We understand too that efforts
may be made by the trustees of the
library, looking to the matter of
having the upkeep and maintenance
of the library brought before the
public in practical, tangible way
next fall-that is to have it voted
upon at the regular fall election
However, the people in general
should not be neglectful or forgetful
of the benefits accruing to the pub
lic4particularly to the schools,
from the continued maintenance of
this library. The matter is certain
ly one that calls for real interest on
our part

Marshal Of
SantOy Shot

Luther B. Reed, aged AZ, marshal
killed about 1870 o'clock Satur-
day night, at the home of Emmett
Tague, in that village. Tague and
James Branagan, the latter con-
stable of Santoy, were placed under
arrest and are held in the county
Jail at New Lexington, on suspicion
in. connection with the Staying. The
three men were alleged to have
been drinking, and to have been en-
gagged in an alteration, and
Reed was requested to leave the
house. This it is stated he refused
to do, and Tague sought the aid of
Constable Branagan, and together
the two men returned to the Tague
home and ordered Reed to leave.
He refused, and in the argument
that followed Reed was killed.
Tague and Branagan were taken to
the New Lexington Jail, Perry coun-
ty, pending the investigation of the
affair. Both Reed and Branagan
have figured in Morgan county's
court, in liquor matters, bur when
tried were acquitted. 1t is said
that Branagan figured in shooting
at Santoy about five months ago,
when it is alleged that man by the
name of Thomas Smith shot at Bran
agan, but the bullett missed him
and hit and instantly killed Brana-
gan's wife. Branagan's home is in
Morgan county.
Reed is survived by wife and
seven children.
