WEDDING AT FISHER HOME
TRIP TO CHAUTAUQUA, N. \

4
The wedding of Miss Lille Fisher
and Mr.. Frank M. Beckett, both OF
this place, occurred at the home OF
the bride this morning at 7 o'clock,
Rev. Perry s. Neldon, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church, officiat-
ing. Following the ceremony
breakfast was served. Those pres
ent besides the contracting parties
and the officiating minister and his
wife. Mrs. Neldon, were Mr. and
Mrs. Ambrose Middleton of Mans
field. Mr.. e. w. Beckett, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. T. Gray, Miss Fannie Dover
and Miss Lillian Thompson. Mr..
and Mrs. Beckett and the Middletons
left on the $3.50 a. m. train for
Mansfield. From there Mr.. and
Mrs. Middleton take them by auto
to Gallon, O., and from Gallon Mr..
and Mrs. Beckett go on by train to
Cleveland. From Cleveland they go
to Erie. Pa, where Mrs. Beckett's
sister Miss Elizabeth Fisher is To-
Gated, and where they will make a
brief visit. They then go to Chat
tauqua, N. Y, where they will spend
about ten days. Upon their return
here they will make their home for
time in the Fisher residence-re-
naming there until Mr.. Beckett's
property near the common is va
Gated by Mr.. and Mrs. Jerrold
Scott, the present occupants, after
which they will be located there.
Mr.. Beckett is one of McConneis-
ville's and Morgan county's best
known, most highly regarded resi-
dents. having been for many years
member of the insurance firm, Beck
ett & Gray, and having been in var
ious ways connected with the busi-
ness and social life of the communi-
ty.
Mrs. Beckett is a daughter of the
late Cephas and Jane Fisher, and
formerly resided in Meigsville town
ship, this county. About 20 years
ago she came to McConnelsviIle
which has since been her home, and
her occupation here has been in the
millinery business. For the past few
years she has been a valuable as
sistant in the Dover Toggery shop.
In her earlier life before coming
here she was engaged in teaching.
She is one Of the community's finest
women. Both are members of the
local M. e. church and have wide
circle of friends with whom the
Democrat joins cordially in extend
ing CONGRATULATIONS and best wishes.

assembly, though owing to the
speakers peculiar style Of speaking
from one corner Of the stage and
then the other, many failed to hear
him as well as they wished to.
| Taking 1t all in all. the assembly
just closed was perhaps the most
satisfactory one ever held, at least
In a number of years. All the at
fractions appeared, just as adyer-
tfsed and almost invariably made
J good the claims made for them. A
pleasing feature this year was the
hard and fast rule of beginning
right on time. So popular was this
that 1t is bound to be hard and
fast rule in the future. The ar
rangement of the program which
threw all concerts and entertain
ments in the evening worked out
just as was expected and virtually
solved the question OF order on the
grounds.
The Boy Scouts were of inesti-
.mable value in handling the traffic
on the busy corner at the entrance
to the Chautauqua grounds and in
parking cars, as well as assisting on
the grounds. Too much credit can
not be given them.
The Malconta band. as usual, was
greatly enjoyed, as was the local or
chestra, and the plan of having them
play inside a half hour before the
program, drew the crowds in and
helped to make it possible to begin
on time.
The new scenery and improved
stage, as well as the orchestra pit,
additional chairs and improved
floor in the chair section, were very
popular Visitors and talent spoke
in highest praise of the equipment.
This Chautauqua is living up to it's
reputation of being one of the best
from every standpoint, in the coun-
try, and it is hoped that next year
will find the country people in bet
ter shape with their work to attend,
from the start, and that a great
many townspeople who have for
some unknown reason withheld
their support will see what Chautau
qua means not only to them but to
the community, and join heartily in
the support and enjoyment of it.

Power Plant At Philo

The huge electric power plant
which the Ohio Power Company Ia
erecting on an island In the Mus
kingum river at Philo, is at present
two-thirds completed. The con-
struction represents two years Of
work on the part Of the engineers
and their crews, with nearly two
more years before the plant will go
into full operation. Four hundred
and fifty men have been kept busy
for the past tWenty-four months
rushing the construction of the inn
mense plant. The entire plot on
which the plant is being constructed
comprises lis acres, providing am
pie space for expansion.
The main building when COM
pleted will house six $4,000 horse
power generator units, will be 800
to $50 feet wide and tower 95 feet
above the foundations. The base
ment floor is about two feet higher
than the 1913 flood stage while the
main floor of the turbine room. on
which the boilers are placed, is
about "a feet above the 1913 food
stage. The two main stacks are %
feet in diameter, while two others
are Is feet across. Dry storage
pits, capable of keeping 100000
tons Of coal are placed In the yards
adjoining the plant. When in oper-
alton the plant will consume 5000
tons day. A reserve supply of
100000 tons of coal, which 10
enough to supply the work In con-
struction for three months, is stored
near the plant.-Marietta Register,

DEATH or SIMON S. LANE
OCCURS in HONOLULU

Mrs. Barbara Derwacter of Bloom
township received a telegram last
week announcing the death of her
brother Simon s. Lane, which oc-
Cured in Honolulu. No particulars
were given as to the cause of his
death. We are informed that he had
enc son-Rona1d Lane, who is still
living, SO far as relatives here know.
Simon Lane was a native of Deer
Asld township, Morgan county, and
was 63 years of age, at the time of
his death. He is survived by three
sisters Mrs. Derwacter mentioned: !:
MRS Elizabeth Minor of Columbus,
o., ANA Mrs. Priscilla Robinson of
Zanesville::s also by one brother.
George Lane Of Morgan county. west
side.
The deceased had been in many
places. He left this county Is years
ago, and went to California. From
there he went to Europe. and then
came back to California. Since that
time ne had been in Montana, Idaho,
Utah. Arizona, and elsewhere. He
had worked in gold and silver mines.
The last four years of his Life he was
located in Horolulu where he had
been working for the government as
assistant engineer.
About five years ago Mr.. Lane vis-
tied his sister Mrs. Derwacter. A
letter to~her only last June, from
I him, was quite cheerful in tone. and
gave no indications of Illness of any
kind, and stated that The hoped to
before long visit her again. In view
of this, Mrs. Derwacter is inclined to
the theory that his death may have
been accidental, or tragic in some
way.

Acting Consul General.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency
learned that the honor conferred upon
Mr.. Felix NJ. Warburg was the re
suit of his activities as chairman of
the Siberian Repatriation War Fund.
This fund was founded on April 9th,
1920 by number of Relief organiza-
tions in New York, the purpose of
which was to repatriate the great
number of war prisoners who were
abandoned in Siberia after the collapse
of the Russian Imperial Army and
were unable to 20 back to their homes
Fifteen organizations participated in
the creation of the fund. The largest
contribution, however, came from the
Jewish Joint Distribution committee.
The sum Of S25O,OOO was contributed
by the latter for that purpose. Eight
hundred war prisoners We're returned
from Siberia to their native land
through the efforts of the repatriation
fund.

took place between the Hungarian gov

this activity. The comforting of the
