DISTRIBUTION OF AUTO
LICENSE TAG MONEY

Because of the prompt transfer of
money from the sale of automobile
license tags for 1925, Secretary Of
State Thad H. Brown has completed
vouchers totalling $3,902, ,320.34 for
distribution to the various county
and local taxing subdi7is1tI.s of the
state. Warrants will be mailed i'm
mediately to the county auditor of
each county for the amounts to
which the county is entitled. Sec
retary Brown announced the share
from this vast sum for Morgan coun-
ty. The amounts that were certified
for the taxing subdivisions of this
county are as follows: County,
$4,019.59; Chesterhill, $479.94;
Deavertown, $111.O0; Malta, $4S2,-
81 McConnelsville, $1,190.38;
Stockport, $4oO.62; total, $6,6S4.-
so.
Secretary Brown explained that
this amount represents only so per-
cent Of the total collected from this
district. The remaining so percent
remains in the state treasury for use
by the state highway department
for the maintenance and repair of
main market roads and inter-county
highways
There has already been deposited
by Secretary Brown in the state
treasury approximately $8,750,000
derived from the sale of automobile
license tags for 1925. The amount
to be distributed to the county and
local subdivisions represents about
three-fifths of the total amount to
be distributed for the current year,
based on the probable increase in
the number of motor vehicles.
Secretary Brown was gratified at
the low cast of distributing the tags
in Ohio. The cost amounted to only
$3.50 for each 800 collected. In
cluded in this amount was the cost
of manufacturing the tags. This
compares favorably with the
cost for 1922 which was $3.50 for
each $100 collected.
The Secretary of State explained
that Ohio spends less each year for
than any other state of
similar population.

wishes to make contribution, we
would greatly appreciate it. We

assessment, but to date need $25.
And as the state officers will be at

The following sketch prepared by

vice:
John A. Deedrick, son of William
and Ann Asenith Deedrick, was
born in Wisconsin, Feb. II, 1851.
When but small child, he with his
parents came to Morgan county,
Ohio. About 66 years of his life was
spent in and about McConnelsville
Sept. "a, 1878, he was united in
marriage to Miss Ida May Pennell of
McConnelsville. To this union were
born three sons-John A, who is a
minister, located at Audubon, Ia;
Edwin H., who is with the American
Railway Express at Cleveland, o.,
and Bernard L., of New Philadel-
phia, O.
For several years Mr.. Deedrick
had suffered much from a complica-
tion of diseases, which he bore with
patience and fortitude until he was
called to rest, Feb. 18, 1925, at the
age OF "A years and days.
Three years ago Mr.. Deedrick and
his faithful companion took up their
abode with their son Edwin at
Cleveland, that he might rest from
toll in his declining years; and when
the closing hour came and the shad-
ows heightened, his faithful COM
panion with their three sons stood
silently by his couch and watched
while the spirit took its flight to the
God who gave it, And such was the
close of a beautiful life.
AT the age of 27 the deceased
obeyed the gospel and became a
member of the Church of Christ at
Wolf Greek. He was a noble soul,
quiet, inoffensive, square and honest
in his dealings with his fellowmen,
and always speaking the truth with
his neighbor; industrious and al
ways ready to lend a helping hand
in times Of need. He was never
known to speak evil of neighbors or
friends; as for enemies he had none.
Today we pay our last respects to
one of Morgan county's noblest citi-
zens, Christian, a gentleman,
faithful and devoted husband and
father

Rumor Unfounded

The fact that officials have been
busy taking a census of the travel
over certain roads leading to this
place, seems to have given rise to a
report that they were gathering data
building of a new ma
tional highway, which was to pass
through this place. From the coun-
ty surveyors office here we learn
that there is nothing to this rumor.
