Should Hear Him

Editor Democrat wish you
would say through the Democrat for
me that citizens of Morgan, of all
parties, should hear Cyrus Locher
and Myers Y. Cooper at the Chautau-
qua. Of men prominent in state
affairs, they are the best speakers
available this year. The race
among Republican candidates for
governor has degenerated into a
running race between Cooper and
Brown, and slow pace among all
the rest. Cooper makes very in
teresting address and should draw
a large crowd.
Lochar is the only real orator
among all the prominent officials
under Governor Donahey. His stand
cesc--.~t Jr0.- I-ton-- sales of Florida
real estate in this state, saved Ohio
citizens millions of dollars His
address on Investments" is a talk
that should be heard by every Nor
gan county citizen who has money
saved and contemplates purchasing
stocks or bonds. w. Tannehill,

Dedication OF Enbree Paek

Inc EmDTee PARK is nearing COM
pletion
The donor, Mr.. J. w. Embree of
Chicago, was born in Pennsville,
went to Chicago while in his teens,
and has prospered, yet has a very
warm feeling for his birthplace. In
1909 while visiting in Pennsville, he
conceived the idea of treating the
children of said village, placing some
funds in the care of DIR. Holcomb
and c. B. Penrose to furnish the
treat, which was given on the lawn
Of Jason Penrose. This treat has
grown until it is now called the EN-
bree picnic, and is given annually
for the citizens and former citizens
of Penn township, and has assumed
the form of a Homecoming. 1t has
been held in former years in various
groves around PennsviIle.
Some years ago the donor said to
ais committee he would finance a
park for permanent place. and has
placed an endowment to make this
picnic perpetual. He bought the
Friends church and grounds, to-
gether with more land from C. J.
Kennard, making very beautiful
location.
The committee now known as the
Embree Park association, have spent
quite an amount of time and money
to beautify and equip the place, to
make it very desirable park in
which to seek recreation, for grown
ups as well as for the children.
The citizens of Penn township are
very proud OF the fact that one of
the former citizens has seen fit to
donate such a beautiful park, and
all point to it with certain amount
of pride.
The dedication of the park will
take place Wednesday, Aug. IL,
1925. We expect to have with us at
that time the donor, Mr. J. w. EN-
bree. The association wish to say
they appreciate the support they
have received, and earnestly desire
your continued cooperation. Yours
truly, w. H. Penrose, w. A. Pidgeon,
