w. r. DYE Gives Breakfast

History repeated itself Tuesday
morning, when w. E. Dye gave
a breakfast in honor of j. r. Patter-
son of California, who was visiting
here. About 20 years ago a sort of
a breakfast club was organized
among the following men: w. E..
Dye. Geo NJ. Scott, Theo. Tompkins,
J. M. Betz, and ]. R. Patterson. AS
carried out at that time, the 10Th
ers" would get together and go in
unannounced to the home of some
member. for breakfast. These
breakfasts were always prepared
and served by the gentlemen of the
house, and were usually four
course affair-pancakes, butter,
syrup, and coffee. The rules and
regulations were very strict, and
rigidly forbade women in any man
ner whatsoever assisting with the
feast Owing to the fact that Mr..
Patterson was here, Mr.. Dye conceiv-
ed the notion of having a reunion of
the club, and the remarkable thing
about it was that all the charter
members were still living, and pos
sessed the same appetites they had
20 years ago. Mr.. w. v. Van Metre
who was visiting at the Scott home,
was the only guest.

On July 25. 1900, c. P. Yocom
was chosen as president Of the First
National bank of Chesterhill, O..
Annually, since that time, he has
been unanimously reelected, SO that
now he has completed his 25th year

vice. he has continued longer in one
position in bank than any one else
now in Morgan county. Two months
after his election as president, the
hank opened for business in the

occupied by the store of Geo. John,
and the bank had a small space in
the northwest corner A little more
than a year later, the bank having
erected building of it's own, NOV
ed into its present quarters.
Under the presidency of Mr.. Yo-
com, the bank has grown to be an
institution that is credit to it's
community as well as to those who
have had it's management. It was
the first bank in Morgan county to
attain a place on what is known as
the Roll of Honor" in that its sur
plus equals its capital stock.
At the meeting of the directors
Monday evening, resolutions were
adopted expressing congratulations
and appreciation for the quarter of
a century of service rendered by Mr..
Yocom, and an appropriate souvenir
of the occasion was presented to him
by the directors.-XX.

Boy Scouts Return From Endubonah

For the ten day period ending last
Tuesday 13 boys from the McCon-
nelsville Boy Scout Troop and IL
from the Malta Troop have been en-
joying their summer camp at the
permanent scout camp for the south
eastern Ohio area, at Luke Chute.
The hundred boys that were at this,
the second period of camp were ev-
emily divided into two Indian tribes,
the Ojibways and the Iriquois, be-
tween which there was an interest
ing rivalry in securing credits and
points for certain work done in
wood-craft and capp-craft and for
tests passed. The Iriquois, of which
Thomas Bauer of McConnelsville
was Assistant Tribal Chief, was an
nounced the winner of the contest at
the last Council Fire on Monday ev-
ening. The two tribes entered teams
in a field day that was held Saturday
and water carnival Monday after
noon. A special court of honor was
held at the Council Fire Monday ev-
ening, at which badges were award
ed for tests passed while in camp, by

and Camp Commander, who was as
sisted by Prof. George Carr, James

cation for three merit badges !;
James Flanagan, jr. had applications
for four merit badges accepted and
Donald Carroll for three merit
badges; the last two named are al
ready first class scouts of the Nc
Connelsville troop. These boys are
to be congratulated for the work
necessary to be put forth in order to
receive these higher awards. Out
side of a few touches of homesick-
ness the boys all returned feeling
that they had had a wonderful time,
with a great deal more knowledge of
camping and outdoor life and a
deeper respect for the great move
ment of scouting.
1t is the wish to thank all persons
who by offering jobs, the use of their
cars or in any other way helped the
boys to enjoy their camp.-XX.

III. II. Brewster Sells Store Interest

The latter part of last week, a
deal was consummated here whereby
Messrs. F. B. Kraps and Fl. G.. Betz
become sole owners of the store here
tofore doing business under the firm
name of H. HI. Brewster & Co. For
some time Mr.. Kraps had half in
terest in the store, with Mr.. Brew
ster and Mr.. BetZ each a fourth. By
the deal Mr.. Betz takes over Mr..
Brewster's interest, thus making
Messrs. Kraps and Betz equal part
ners. and hereafter the firm will be
known as Kraps & Betz Both have
been associated for number of years
with the firm, and they need no intro
duction to the public. They are fin =
business men, and that they will
make success of the business in the
future as in the past goes without
saying.
Mr.. Brewster who is a son of the
late Seth G. Brewster who was for
mer business man here, has been as
sociated with the business at the
stand which has for some years
been known as the Brewster store,
for probably 40 years or more, be-
ginning with the late T. D. Clancy
in what was then known as the Clan
cy store, and he has been successful
to a marked degree In disposing Of
his interest in this store he plans to
retire from active business.

Brewster-Barnes Wedding

The marriage of Mr.. Howard H.
Brewster, one of McConnelsville'
and Morgan county's best known and
most substantial business men, and
Mrs. Gaynell II. Barnes occurred
here Saturday evening at nine
O'Clock, at the home of Mr. Brews-
ter's sister Mrs. Lille Walker, which
has also been his home for a number
of years. The ceremony was per-
, formed by Rev. ]. L. Nuzum of Nc
Connelsville, pastor of the McKen-
dree M. E. circuit, the only other
persons present being Mr.. and Mrs.
W. A. Barkhurst of this place, the
latter a niece of Mr.. Brewster.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster left i'm
mediately, following the wedding.
for GAINESVILLE, and from there they
went on, on an lauto camping trip
which will take them into the east
ern stateS-New York and else
where, and probably up into the
New England states-Maine and
New Hampshire and Vermont. They
will be gone several weeks. after
which they will return here and will
stay awhile at the Walker residence
spending part of the time probably
camping at 1.-The Roost," up the
river. They will spend the winter
in the south, that trip also being
made by auto, but at this time, we
understand, no definite plans are
made as to what part of the south.
AS stated elsewhere in this paper,
Mr.. Brewster is retiring from active
business, severing his relations with
the Brewster store, at which stand
he has been engaged in business the
last 40 years or more. The home
of the bride has been McConnels-
vile the last several years, her for
mer residence being in Cambridge
The friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Brewster here and elsewhere in the

ulations and best wishes.
